The first life on Earth began in the sea.
Our existence here today is an extension of that distant first step.

"Toba Aquarium - Life Connects -" is a musical piece depicting
the timeless flow of the sea and the story of life connecting from then to now.

Dugongs, finless porpoises, sea otters.
Through the forms of creatures that have come to Toba Aquarium from around the world, it conveys the preciousness of life connecting and being passed on, set to a simple, warm melody.

Across generations, from children to adults.
It is a song that gently accompanies the "memories of life" within each listener.

Artist Profile

Hidetaka Shimizu
During his junior high school years, he was exposed to the guitar boom, and since his house was located right in front of the school, many guitar boys gathered there, and influenced by them, he started playing the guitar himself. He tried his hand at Simon & Garfunkel songs and played "Condor is Flying Away" with a friend in his third year of junior high school. During a school trip in his second year of high school, he wrote his first lyrics, which became his first step toward music. In college, he played in a band, wrote original songs, and played both vocals and guitar. He also played keyboards in some arrangements. There was a period of time after that when he gave up his passion for music, but at the age of 27, he resumed his musical activities again. Even now, new melodies and lyrics continue to be born in his head.
