* -From “Finally, the world is made of me and you”*
It doesn’t have to be words. It’s fine if you can express it in your own way. I’d like it if you could express it in words. If you can express it in your own way, that’s fine.
-From “What’s Love?”

Don’t have a map, look here and now, beyond the light, the compass will surely point to the future no matter where you arrive The me in the plan will become a new me from here onwards.
There’s no way I can catch up, so look here and now, beyond the scenery – from “Haruka Me”
There is no such thing as Sakai in a dream, and life and death can be easily jumped over. Poetry is a living sensibility that can create eternity. That alone is difficult for me. It is incomprehensible to animals that do not live for a hundred years.
-From “Vehicle Sounds”
Paperback size that can fit into small bags or pants pockets. Also great as a travel companion. -“Me and you are finally the world” ■Author profile

No matter how loud and far I scream, without you, this voice is like the wind blowing with nowhere to go.No matter how much I keep spelling it out, without you, these words too.
Same as the snow that falls on a nameless mountain – from “The world is finally here with you and me”
I want to draw a lake
Air warmed by sunlight
A family of seagulls singing gently
I want to draw the eyes that reflect the dazzle there.
I was waiting with everything
Like us, taking a deep breath and stretching out.
I want to read a new clear moment
its eternal joy
I want to be surprised
