深海にやわらかく届いた微かな光が沈黙に揺れて、
そのあまりの美しさと悲しさに息が止まりそうになる。
音楽には治癒という役割があります。
双方向の治癒です。
作り手は、言語化し、表音化したものを、繰り返し唄うことで、
その人自身の内部を整え、客観視することができ、
メロディの繰り返しが洗練を帯びさせていったその作品は、
やがて普遍性と同時に救済性を持ちます。
聴く側は、
言語以外の領域が、自身の最深部に作用する音楽体験を通して、
心の反応が唄の調べと繰り返し同調することで、
知らぬ間に自分が持っていた、
手の届きにくい部分にある、「傷」と呼ばれるものが、癒えていきます。
これは音楽の力と呼ばれるものの、ひとつの在り方だと私は考えています。
Abyssはそういう種類の楽曲だと思いました。
心の中に静けさの嵐が吹き荒れている状態で、
自分の最深部を楽曲化し、言語化することは、
途方もない痛みの伴う作業だったのではないか、と想像しています。
Jinさんにとってこの「接続体験」が、
明るい場所へ流れ着くきざしであることを、
最深部に実はある、あの光が照らしだすものが、
もう1人の自分を抱きしめる瞬間であることを、心から祈っています。
触れさせてくれてありがとう。
あなたのことが、大好きです。

A faint light gently reaches the deep sea, shimmering in the silence,
and its overwhelming beauty and sadness take my breath away.
Music has a healing role.
It is a two-way healing process.
By repeatedly singing what they have verbalized and set to sound,
the creator can organize their inner self and view it objectively.
As the repetition of the melody refines the work,
it eventually acquires both universality and a sense of salvation.
For the listener,
through a musical experience where the realm beyond language acts upon their deepest self,
as their emotional response synchronizes with the song’s melody and repetition,
the “wounds”—those elusive parts of themselves they didn’t even know existed—
are healed without them even realizing it.
I believe this is one manifestation of what is called the power of music.
I felt that “Abyss” was a song of this kind.
I imagine that, while a storm of silence raged within his heart,
the process of setting his innermost depths to music and putting them into words
must have been a task accompanied by immense pain.
I pray with all my heart that for Jin, this “experience of connection”
will be a sign of drifting toward a brighter place,
and that what that light—which actually lies deep within—illuminates
will be the moment you embrace your other self.
Thank you for letting me touch it.
I am absolutely on your side.
