Boku ni Agetai Kin Medal

[Machine Translation] Gold medal for me:- A cheerful love song to send to myself - I praise myself. I love myself. It's actually the happiest thing. I believe that enjoyment begins with liking yourself. If that enjoyment becomes more and more contagious, it would be wonderful. Why don't you give yourself a gold medal once in a while? What to protect: I wrote this on the theme of the island of Tuvalu. The more I study Tuvalu, the more I realize the various problems it faces. At first, I was interested in the island's sinking due to global warming. From there, I learned about Tuvalu's problems as if I had opened a door. I learned about various realities, such as the garbage problem, the problem of self-sufficiency in food due to submergence, the problem of the gap between the rich and the poor due to the loss of self-sufficiency and the acquisition of foreign currency by migrant workers, the collapse of culture due to intervention by foreign cultures, and so on. Tuvalu is an island with a warm heart that reminds us of what Japanese people have forgotten. Tuvalu, too, is about to lose something important, and we must reevaluate our own lives. Such is the message. And I think these are the times we live in. The path: a fork in the road, a lost path, a path of hope leading to the future, a path that, in retrospect, we have walked on our own feet. The people I have met, the friends I have made, and the one who has always been with me. Life is like making a path. It is you who decide and make it.

僕にあげたい金メダル:～自分へ送る元気なラブソング～自分を褒める。自分が好き。実は一番幸せなこと。楽しさとは自分を好きになることから始まると思います。その楽しさがどんどんどんどん伝染していったら、素晴らしい。たまには、あなたも自分に金メダルをあげてみたらどうでしょう?守るべきもの:ツバルという島をテーマに書きました。ツバルを調べれば調べるほど、様々な問題に気づかされます。始めは地球温暖化の影響による、島が沈みゆくことに興味を持ちました。そこから扉を開いたかのように、ツバルの問題を知りました。ゴミ問題、水没下による食糧の自給自足問題、自給自足が出来なくなり、出稼ぎによる外貨獲得による貧富の差問題、外国文化の介入による文化崩壊、等、様々な現実を知りました。日本人が忘れてしまったもの、それを思い出させてくれるあたたかな心の島、ツバル。そのツバルも、大事なものを失おうとしている現在、私達も自分の生活から、見つめ直さなければならない。そんなメッセージです。そして、そんな時代なんだと思います。道:分かれ道、迷い道、未来へ続く希望の道、振り返ってみれば、今までに自分の足で歩いてきた道。。その中で出会った人、仲間、そして クっと一緒だったのは自分。人生は道を作るようなものだ。決めるのも作るのも自分。。
