This new song is the next song from the Fruit of the Spirit music album project. This song is especially about wanting to “count it all joy” when facing trials in life, like that verse from James 1:2 in the Bible. As usual, thank you for listening!
この新曲は「御霊の実」という音楽のアルバムの次の曲です。この曲のテーマは特に「いろいろな試錬に会った場合、それをむしろ非常に喜ばしいことと思いなさい」という聖書箇所（ヤコブ１章２節 口語訳）を実践したいということについてのですね。相変わらず、聴いてくれてありがとうございます！
This is a new music video for a newly-released song called “Another Warm Embrace”.

この曲は神様の愛について考える曲のです。聞いてくれてありがとうございます！

Note: The idea to use 狭い門 as a tentative Japanese title for this song is partly from auto-suggest from Motion app.
This is an electronic remake of an older song called Air Balloon. Thank you for listening, if you have the chance!
Here’s an initial version of a lyrical video for a newly-recorded song called “Advent”. It’s a song that ponders the birth of Jesus and what He would go on to do later in life. Thank you for listening!
This is an older song but in a newly-finished package and with a new music video. It’s essentially a reminder that life is short and it’s helpful to make the most of it (in an edifying way). Thank you for listening!
This is one of the songs from the FireFest NW 2025 live music show. Special thanks to Tony and Matt for playing music together and also to everyone who was able to come out to the event!

Since it’s almost the end of the calendar year, I wanted to share this closing song “With Us to the End” from the Spring 2020 music album. This song shares about how God is still near even in the present. On top of that, He’s brought me and many others through various challenging times in life. He can carry you through those times, too! You can trust Him! As usual, thank you for listening to the music, and I hope you have a wonderful new year ahead!
いよいよ年末が近づいているので、この「Spring 2020」という音楽のアルバムからの最後の「With Us to the End」という作曲を発表させていただきたいのです。この作曲は、現在でも、神様はまだ近づいているのだというテーマを持つ曲ですね。まして、神様は僕といろんな人々を辛い時を通しても、導いてくれたこと、何回もしてくれた経験があるのです。神様が君の辛い時を通しても、君を導いてくれる機会もあると思いますよ！神様に信頼を置くことができるのですよ！相変わらず、この作曲を聴いてくれて、ありがとうございました！また、良いお年を！
Sometimes things in life don’t go as we plan. This song “Victory” is a testimony song of how God has been bringing me through a tough journey in life. I think God has been teaching me a lot about how to trust Him whether things go well in life or not. Plus, there are many people who deal with challenges on a daily basis more difficult than mine! I’m really thankful for how God has brought me through the worst times of this journey and have truly seen His love time and time again in the lives of family and friends. Thank you, all, and thank you for listening!
この世には、私たちの日々の生活がたまに予定通りに進まないですよね。この「Victory」（勝利）という作曲の歌詞の内容は、神様が、難しい人生の旅を過ごしているこんな私を守ってくれていることを伝えるという証の曲です。日々の生活の用事などがスムーズに行くか行かないか、神様に私の信頼をおく機会がたくさん与えられていると思いますね。まして、私のチャレンジより、別の人々は（友達を含めて）よりつらいチャレンジを持っているから、それを忘れたくないですね。最悪の時を通しても、神様のお世話を本当に感謝し、神様の愛が、家族と友達を通して、何回も見えたこともあるんですよ！みなさん、ありがとうございます！この曲を聴いてくれて、ありがとうございます！
