There are days when I can only cry in the darkness. There are times when I can't move forward, unable to silence the voice in my heart. But today, I saw a little light. You might feel the same way, trembling in lonely nights. But it's okay. We're not alone. Under the same sky, everyone is doing their best.
When times are tough, show a smile. I've overcome it that way too. Because you are here, we can support each other no matter what. It's okay to cry for the future. Believe in tomorrow's self and continue to be strong. Embrace everything you've lost and the meaning you've found. With you, we can light up any darkness. Even if it's one step at a time, tomorrow will surely come. Because you are here, I can stand up.
Let's walk together.
I am Minna no Yusuke, a singer-songwriter. My music is not just a collection of pretty words or generic cheers. It is a record of mud-stained hope that I discovered while trembling at the edge of despair. In 2022, an invisible storm called Long COVID struck me. I was diagnosed as unfit for work, and my daily life crumbled as I frequently lost consciousness and collapsed. The normalcy I had known until yesterday vanished beneath my feet. I lived in isolation, clutching a Help Mark, hiding in the shadows of society. During those dark times, what saved me was not someone else causes perfect success story; it was the existence of others who, while carrying their own pain, were desperately trying to live through today. That is why I sing. To you, who are buckling under the weight of the normal mask: I will never deny the tears you swallow on crowded trains or the silent screams in your heart. That pain is the greatest proof that you are fighting to live. As a challenger turning weakness into strength: I am not a powerful hero. I get lost, I get hurt, and I stop in my tracks many times. But by baring that vulnerability, I want to give you an overwhelming sense of affirmation: It is okay to exist exactly as you are, imperfect and all. To be a companion of the soul beyond music: My messages on TikTok and social media are all for one purpose: to ensure that no one is left alone. By incorporating perspectives from healthcare and welfare, I hope to support your journey of living from multiple angles. The Inner Flame I sing of may not be bright enough to blind the darkness. But I want it to be an unquenchable light that burns quietly beside you on a freezing night. It is okay. Your story is not over yet. Let us play through this path together, one step at a time. Rising from rock bottom, turning pain into compassion. Loving myself as I am, and continuing to stay close to the hearts of others. That is the way of life of the artist, Minna no Yusuke.
