I am.
This (eight voices) is called
Encounter with the song (lyrics)
You are the theme of poetry.
"Nature" and "Soul."
i'm clearly aware
You gave me an answer.
That's the lyrics.
Ancient Japan, nameless voice
I will write it down here
I would like you to read it 🙇
YORISHIRO
Lyrics of Yakoe, the place where God dwells
Heaven and Earth Open Beyond
There is a wave of nameless voices
Not one, not even me
Just be as it is and resonate
Light is not yet light.
Darkness is also not darkness
Among the living things
A voice is born as a voice
8 million overlapping
Call without calling, fill the sky
Resonance without a name
Become the world sound here
Before a mountain becomes a mountain
When water does not know the flow
Fire has no form of heat.
The wind has become a fluctuation
The voices don't know each other.
Melt each other without being impure
One year, one moment, one dream
Connecting the world as the world
Eight million fellowships
Become a song without a listener
Not in one, not in me
Just be the sound that should be
Life, death and destruction
Everything is a shifting voice
Born and disappearing beyond
There is still an unstoppable sound
Eight million hours away
- No beginning, no end -
In the meantime, listen to what you hear
Here we will also be a voice
A nameless voice.
Always in the world...

YORISHIRO - The lyrics of "Yakoe," a place where God dwells.
The heavens and the earth will open up beyond that.
There are thin waves of nameless voices.
Not one, not one. Not me.
It just resonated as it was.
The light is not yet light.
Darkness also does not becomedarkness.
It's breathing, but in between.
Voices are not born as they are.
Eight million, overlapping.
Filling the sky with uncalled callings.
Resonating with each other without a name.
Here, the world becomesa sound.
A mountain is not a mountain before it is a mountain.
Water is atimewhen you don't know its flow.
Fire is in no form of heat.
Thewind is swaying.
The voices don't know each other, though.
Melt together without defiling each other.
One year, one moment, one dream.
To unite the world as a world.
Eight million people, together.
It becomesa song with no listener.
It's not one, it's not me.
It will just be the sound that should be
Life, death, and destruction.
It's all about the transition of the voice.
Born and disappearing beyond.
And there's an unstoppable resonance.
Eight million yearsapart
No beginning, noend.
What to listen to, what to listen to, between.
Here, we too will become voices.
It's a nameless voice.
As is always the case in the world.

この歌詞『八声（やこえ）』は、古代日本の神道思想に根ざした「八百万の神々」の声を象徴しています。私自身もこの詩に触れることで、自然と魂のつながり、そして生命の循環を強く感じることができました。自然界の山・水・火・風といった要素は、それぞれがまだ形を成す前の原初の姿として詩に表現され、名もなき声が絶え間なく響き合う様子は、私たちの日常の中で見過ごしがちな自然の循環の尊さを教えてくれます。 また、「始まりもなく 終わりなし」というフレーズは、時間や存在の境界を超越する神秘を示し、魂の永続的な響きを表現していると感じています。この詩を読むことで、単なる歌詞以上のメッセージが伝わり、私自身の内面にある「声」を見つめ直すきっかけとなりました。 現代社会では忙しく自然と向き合う時間が少なくなっていますが、『八声（やこえ）』のような歌詞には、古代から連綿と続く自然と人間の一体感を思い起こさせる力があります。私の経験では、この詩を通じて自然の持つ無限のエネルギーと魂の声の共鳴を感じることができ、心の平安や新たな気づきを得られました。 この歌詞を読んだ後は、例えば森の中を歩いたり、静かな川のせせらぎに耳を傾けたり、小さな自然の音に意識を向けてみることをおすすめします。そうすると、文章の中で表現されている「名もなき声」の響きが、自分の周囲や心の中で共鳴しているのを感じられるでしょう。まさに八百万の声が重なり合い、世界が音となる瞬間を体感できるはずです。
