Even after returning to Japan, I couldn't let go of my own dream of writing songs about Wuxi.
I have written more than 100 sets of lyrics about the city. More than 30 have since been set to music and released.
My hope is simple: that music can introduce Wuxi to more people around the world. Whether they come as tourists or investors, I believe they'll discover a city that's well worth getting to know.
Some of my songs have gained modest popularity in Wuxi and across southern Jiangsu. Knowing that they continue to be sung there is something I truly cherish.
