🌸 Why Japanese Music Touches the Soul
mikiki— The Power of Poetic Sound and Spiritual Simplicity —
Have you ever felt your heart soften just by hearing a language—even when you didn’t understand the words?
That’s the quiet power of the Japanese language.
As a singer-songwriter from Japan, I create original songs that embrace the beauty of nihongo (日本語)—a language rich with emotion, simplicity, and soul.
Each melody is written with care, and each word is chosen not just for meaning, but for how it feels when sung. Japanese is a language that carries silence within it. And that silence speaks directly to the heart.
🎵 You don’t have to speak Japanese to feel it.
In fact, many listeners from around the world have told me that my music makes them feel calm, connected, and “centered” inside—without understanding the lyrics.
Because music is a language of its own. And Japanese, with its melodic rhythm and gentle sounds, brings a kind of peace you don’t have to translate.

🌿 My Original Works — A Sound Gift from Japan
All of my songs are composed and performed from the heart. They blend traditional Japanese sensibilities with modern melody — and a message of healing and hope.
Many of my songs are also inspired by Japan’s beautiful and emotionally rich seasons.
Here's one for the rainy season — a quiet ballad reflecting the stillness of a summer night:
🎵 “Katatsumuri (A Snail) – A Gentle Ballad for Rainy Nights”
