The Unique Healing Power of the Japanese Voice
mikiki
In Japanese culture, the power of voice and sound goes far beyond simple communication. The unique vowels and tonal qualities of the Japanese language are said to have a calming effect on the mind and spirit.
This belief is deeply rooted in the concept of kotodama (言霊), the idea that words themselves hold spiritual power. Through sound, intention, and vibration, voices can create emotional resonance that touches the heart.
My Personal Connection to the Japanese Voice
As a singer-songwriter, I have always been fascinated by how the sounds of Japanese — its vowels, rhythm, and intonation — can influence emotions and healing. My music is inspired by this unique vocal tradition, blending it with my personal journey of self-expression and spiritual exploration.
In my songs, I consciously use the natural flow and resonance of the Japanese language to create moments of peace, reflection, and emotional connection.
Incorporating Tradition and Innovation
Recently, I have been studying hikō (披講), a traditional form of Japanese vocal chanting used in Buddhist rituals and poetry. This practice deepens my understanding of the voice’s spiritual potential and enriches my musical expression.

Here's my first experience performing it:
