The Japanese sky leads to the world. The heart to love music is common throughout the world. I want you to support world all of you, Japan loving music! (yahoo知恵袋で書きました。変でしたらごめんなさい)
That night, all six of us were together, and my three children laughed at me. Tetsuo forgot his lunch, but apparently his eldest daughter had forgotten it the day before. Well, I guess we're just father and son...
The photo was taken by my youngest daughter. It was the most tender and delicious roast pork.
The kids were having lively conversation. Since no one was home, it was always dinner with my grandparents.
It was a moment that brought me the most happiness.
I guess I've been raising my kids.
It's like time stands still. I raised three. And now,
My love?
That's irrelevant. God will guide me. No, he won't, lol.
I leave the rest of my life up to God. I think I've done what I needed to do. But challenging myself to achieve my goals is a different story. This isn't the end for Tetsuo.
I'm glad I completed the earthquake recovery project, but I can't help but think about a lot of things.
I wonder if what I've done is just self-satisfaction... My friends, high school classmates, and seniors in Iwate were incredibly supportive. They're people who know me.
The only way the general public who don't know me gets information is through online searches and media news.
I tried to contact the Iwate media in advance to announce my live performance when I returned to Iwate, but my attempts were unsuccessful.
I thought that if it was featured in the media, I could report it to the people of Iwate. It seems it wasn't a big deal for the media.
But what blew those thoughts away was the gospel I attend once a month.
I started going to gospel singing because I wanted to improve my singing. A year has passed without me noticing any real improvement.
Gospel singing lets you sing from the heart. It feels good! You won't get better unless you sing out loud. Singing makes me feel refreshed. I'm self-satisfied, thinking this is proof I've improved, lol.
But even beyond singing, two women have helped me clear my mind.
Both of them said their backs were sore.
As usual, I couldn't resist and massaged them for three minutes each. Both were pleased, and one of them even said,
Huh? It doesn't hurt! Wow! Those are godly hands!
And... It's been a while since I'd heard someone say that. I was so grateful.
It reminded me of the past. Tamagawa Onsen in Akita Prefecture. I massaged their sore spots with all my heart. That alone was enough to make them feel appreciated. When I worked there, cancer patients were so happy, and this experience inspired me to publish a book.
I then opened my own business in Hiraizumi. I was able to fulfill one of my goals: to contribute to the community I lived in, but a year later the earthquake struck.
In 2012, I returned to Saitama. I worked as the manager of a relaxation salon, but I left due to COVID-19 and have continued to work here ever since. I tried to make a comeback in August, but gave up because I had a live show coming up in September.
A fellow gospel singer told me,
"I want you to open the chiropractic clinic again."
It's as if my fellow gospel singers have supported me.
I can't help but wonder if my skills are still up to the task. I know that's a bit naive, though, haha.
I'd be happy if anyone reading this blog would like me to treat them.
Singing gospel from your heart might make you feel refreshed, like after a massage!
