Aimyon and "Komorebi" - Wabi-sabi hidden in everyday life
Aimyon and "Komorebi": Wabi-Sabi hidden in everyday life
"He was alive."
I wonder how many people have been saved by that one word.
Aimyon's songs aren't flashy, but they stay in your mind.
It's like sunlight filtering through the trees.
It's not strong, but the light is definitely there.
Before you know it, it gently illuminates your heart.
Wabi-sabi may sound a bit difficult, like silence and solitude, but
In fact, it's actually in Aimyon's song.
"Naked Heart," "Marigold," and "You Don't Listen to Rock."
All of the songs are about the "space" in everyday life.
Imperfect emotions, unspoken feelings, misunderstandings, and a small hope.
These are truly modern-day wabi-sabi.
Wabi-sabi and Aimyon's words
"I love you so much that the words 'I love you' aren't enough"
→ Feelings that cannot be put into words. That is the “white space” of wabi-sabi.
The feelings that cannot be expressed resonate even more deeply.
・"He was still alive."
→ Affirmation of existence. The quiet strength found in the "sabi" of wabi-sabi.
Even if no one noticed, the fact that you were there is precious.
"You don't listen to rock music."
→ Accept differences. The beauty of solitude lies in the "wabi" of wabi-sabi.
Even if we're not the same, I want to be by your side.
Aimyon's lyrics have a sense of space that doesn't explain too much.
In that “gap” each listener's memories and emotions enter.
It's like the wind blowing through the gaps in the trees.
Wabi-Sabi: A Concept I Want to Share with Young People
Social media demands eye-catching content, strong words, and a perfect everyday life.
But Aimyon's songs are not like that.
Feelings that you can't express well, weaknesses that you don't want to show to anyone,
They embrace them and tell them that it's okay just the way they are.
Wabi-sabi is not an old aesthetic concept.
In fact, it may be a sensibility that is needed in today's world.
In the quiet place, there is a voice.
There is kindness in loneliness.
A heart that can sense this will surely make the future easier.
At a place called WABISUKE
WABISUKE is a place that collects such "poetry of everyday life."
Aimyon's words and the light of the sunlight filtering through the trees gently overlap.
Beauty suddenly appears in the midst of imperfect days.
I want to develop the ability to find it and the heart to receive it.
I want to make young people think, "Maybe wabi-sabi is somehow emotional."
We would like to continue delivering such articles.
It's not so much about inheriting a culture as it is about resonating with sensibilities.
Like sunlight filtering through the trees, softly, but surely.
