It was in the evening of June 16th, when I was taken by breath away by Chikuzen's statement in his weblog:"I'm not living for good music but working on music for a good life" When I was listening to an album of Toshiki Kadomatsu, 'TIME TUNNEL', I was taken aback at the second verse of 'Realize'-"Sometimes I suddenly unable to see someone who I think I can see anytime..." The late Tomohito Aoki was playing the bass on the album. The next song 'Houkai no zenjitsu(the day before the collupse)' sounded vividly. According to Kadomatsu, this song was originally dedicated to the people who perished in 1995 Kobe earthquake.
"I wish to keep on working on genuinely good music, for Aoki's sake", Chikuzen wrote on his weblog on 14th June. It may sound impudent, but since I was inspired to be a musician by the people who had worked with Aoki, I also have to do my best -I determined.
