"Iyairaikere" is a song centered on the Ainu word meaning "thank you" or "gratitude." In modern life, many things are taken for granted. This piece gently unwraps that sense of "normal" and invites us to recognize everyday blessings-breathing, being together, supporting one another-as gifts rather than guarantees. By repeating "Iyairaikere," the song becomes a quiet reminder that gratitude begins when we stop calling life "ordinary."
AI AINU creates spiritual music inspired by the Ainu language and the living spirits of nature. Her sound blends the breath of wind, snow, forests, and fire into modern ambient and healing music, carrying ancient memories toward the future. Ekashina is presented as a fictional storyteller born to a father who serves as a Shinto priest and a mother with Ainu roots from Hokkaido. The songs she learns from her grandmother and her deep respect for nature shape the emotional core of her voice. Her works, including Rera Rimse, Kamuy Rekko, and Upas Kamuy, combine ambient, folk, and spiritual elements to create calm and reflective soundscapes. AI AINU aims to help the Ainu language live again as a natural part of everyday sound, not only as something to preserve.
