The Unique Healing Power of the Japanese Voice

The Spirit of Sound

In Japanese culture, the power of voice extends far beyond communication.
The unique vowels and tonal qualities of the language can calm the mind and touch the spirit.
This belief is rooted in kotodama — the idea that words themselves hold spiritual power.

My Personal Connection

As a singer-songwriter, I am fascinated by how Japanese sounds — its rhythm, vowels, and intonation — influence emotions and healing.
In my music, I use this natural flow to create moments of reflection, peace, and gentle connection.

Incorporating Tradition and Innovation

Recently, I have been exploring hikō (披講), a traditional form of vocal chanting used in Buddhist rituals and poetry.
Through this practice, I deepen my understanding of voice as a spiritual tool and enrich my own musical expression.
