Sign language song commentary video

Expressions and actions are expressed in an easy-to-understand manner so that anyone from children to adults can easily sing and sign language.
Let's practice sign language singing together.
*In order to convey the feelings (meaning of the lyrics) put into the song to those who cannot hear, I replaced the words to make the expression closer to sign language, so there are some parts that do not match Japanese.

* Sign language supervisor: Chieko Tabuchi (Shiga Prefectural Health, Medical and Welfare Department Disability Welfare Division full-time sign language interpreter)

(Official singer of the image songs for Wata-SHIGA Shining National Sports and Para-Sports)

A singer-songwriter from Minakuchi-cho, Koka City, Shiga Prefecture.
He went on to high school and university, majoring in music and piano, but at the age of 19, he was hospitalized due to an unknown illness. This became an opportunity for him to think about his goals in life, and he started studying singing after being discharged from the hospital.
While studying at university, she obtained a teacher's license, but after graduating, she aims to become a singer and belongs to an entertainment agency. About a year and a half after I started singing while playing the piano, I suddenly felt a sore throat and couldn't speak at all for about two weeks.
The impatience and pain of not being able to speak will be an opportunity for me to face my music activities again.
Luckily, she was able to speak again, but after a conversation with a deaf teacher she met at the sign language class she started attending, she started singing with sign language.
In addition, sign language interpretation and lyrics subtitles will be incorporated into live performances, aiming to create a place where more music lovers can enjoy together, regardless of whether they can hear or not.
Since then, he has been active in solo and unit activities based in Osaka, and has appeared in many events and media in various places.
Currently based in his hometown of Shiga, he gives live lectures on human rights and sign language singing workshops at educational sites, welfare facilities, local events, corporate training, etc. all over the country. He also produces and sings theme songs for local characters, events, companies and organizations.

image song lyrics

Open the door, take a deep breath No matter what the sky looks like, a wonderful day will begin My own story Each and every one of them is colorful Everyone is the main character Let's go with our best smiles! I, SHIGA, let's find something that shines, I, SHIGA, let's go look for a place where it shines Time passes and shapes change, but because it's this time, there's something we can meet Spreading everyone's dreams and hopes, the heartbeat of our hearts thumping with anticipation, the excitement of the lake country that connects us to the future Let's go from imagination to action! Let's find something you shine Let's go find a place where you shine I SHIGA Let's find something that shines I SHIGA Let's go find a place where you shine Let's find something you shine Shiga where everyone shines! ! Shine! ! Lyrics (PDF:43KB)
