“To my family, my friends, and my fans
I put my life on the line to make this album.
Those who have known me long will understand that I was just a kid from Suminoe with nothing to offer.
But when I met this music, I was fascinated, and it changed my life.
I just went straight ahead in a dark tunnel with no light shining.
I am not a good rapper or a good singer.
I know that better than anyone else.
I don’t have any talent.
But at some point, I thought, “I’m going to give up on giving up.
I think it was when my first son was born.
I knew I couldn’t go on like this.
I wanted to support my family with just a microphone.
I guess that’s what “determination” means.
I want to say to those who are still smoking there.
I’ve made it this far, you know?
Life has a way of blowing in mysterious ways.
If you can face it without any pretense, you can pull it out of your ass.
Superstars from all over the country have agreed to play on my album.
I’m grateful for that.
I hope it will reach your ears by some chance.
Please watch over this man’s dream story.
Thanks for reading to the end.”
