Major Debut Anniversary
20th Anniversary
It has been 20 years since September 22, 2005, when we released the major debut album "Ashinato Rhythm." Since it's an anniversary, I'll take this opportunity to reflect a bit. #shimotsukin20th
Looking back on that time, there was certainly momentum in myself and those around me, connections with people and works were forming rapidly, and it was a period when I was desperately trying to keep up. The lyrics of "Ashinato Rhythm," where I felt my small self while telling myself not to rush because this is just a journey along the way, really capture the feelings of that time.
That year, I decided to quit my job as a company employee and devote myself fully to music activities, running relentlessly for several years. After 10 years, I celebrated the 10th anniversary in my own grand way. It was because of the efforts at key moments and the daily accumulations that many people came to recognize me, allowing me to continue music activities as work for 20 years like this. And the music, works, lives, and messages I've created over the years—your support in buying, listening to, receiving, and saying you like them has always been my pillar of strength, pushing me forward, and it's what keeps me going even now. Probably more than you think, each and every one's support becomes a source of power. Thank you so much, always!
From here, the major debut 20th anniversary commemorative year will start for the next year. While balancing childcare and the current scale of activities within what I can manage, I see this as an important year that relates to how I can continue activities going forward, so it's a time to really push myself—I'm planning various things with a bit of stretching! Tomorrow (Tokyo) and the 28th (Osaka) for the first dinner show-style live performances, the 9th installment of the Vocal Works album in the final production stages, and after that, I'm aiming to realize various plans that will be firsts in 20 years, so for those who always follow my activities, those who have been away for a while, and those who have recently come to know me, I would be thrilled if you could pay attention and support me over this year.
Truly thank you
Here's to the future
