I can’t believe it’s been 2 years since that “apartment fire”.
We feel like we have come a very long way since then.
We will never forget the support we received from our friends and fans.
(and it’s a blessing we are still rocking here at Asao Christ Church💕)
We are thankful. We are grateful that we are still here alive. It’s all God’s grace.
We are happy we are still rocking.
This year, we finally released “Coming Back Alive” – our Thank You album – also a “happy end” album – even though we are willing to make more music.
We have achieved many things since then. And much more to come!
Our next mission and endeavor….
“Heavy Metal Church” project continues (October)
“Heavy Metal Church worship songs EP” (as soon as we are ready)
“Godman EP” (sometime this year?)
“Christian Samurai album” – that will be even more intense than Nabeshima
We are going to establish the new tradition of “Japanese Christian Metal” based on Japanese traditional music and old school hard rock and metal.
I (Tak) had a happy birthday spending time with Marie – we are still a happy couple.
As we told you earlier, this year is our “30 years together love anniversary”. We feel very happy and blessed! Our celebration continues – because in August we will play a concert that is a celebration for Kenshin’s 20 years old birthday!!
We are thankful for God’s blessing, His guidance, your love and support.
At the same time, our prayer goes out for what’s happening in this world right now. Because this world is full of troubles right now.
Our heart aches and bleeds for what’s happening in Gaza, what’s happening in Los Angeles, and all the tragedies happening in this world.
Our world is not perfect. Terrible things and injustice are going on, even though we are not fully aware.
We pray for those who are suffering in those places. And we pray and believe that Jesus Christ is with them – with those who are weak, those who are in trouble, and those who are suffering.
When the world is in trouble, we feel like we are powerless and there’s nothing we can do. But that’s not true. We have Jesus and we can pray. We believe our music (power of music) can bring hope even in the darkest place!
Let’s trust in God’s guidance and pray!
Thank you very much!
Thank you and that’s all.
