Eri Tsukimoto Spreads a Message of Forever With Eternity Love

This is a truly wonderful achievement for me. Being accepted into a music festival of such a high level, not only in the US but also internationally, is both a step forward and a fantastic opportunity. Being recognized on a global stage means a great deal to me and inspires me to keep growing as an artist.

I realized that music was my true calling when, as an elementary school student, I was able to play difficult pieces such as Chopin’s Revolutionary Etude and Fantaisie-Impromptu, and when I was told that I might have perfect pitch.

From childhood, I also discovered my love for musicals, opera, and singing, which has continued to shape my journey as a performer.

When I create music, melodies are often born from humming, while lyrics and harmonies emerge from nature, improvisation, intuition, and a deep sense of inspiration. Music and poetry take shape, grow, and flow from love, essential experiences, and heartfelt emotions.

When I compose or record, I imagine the person I love and sing as if reaching out to them. Through my songs, I seek to convey meaning, tell stories, and paint vivid images while delivering love, hope, courage, and important messages. My greatest wish is for those who listen to my music to feel moved in their hearts.

If I were to describe the process of creating my music, it would be like ripples on water, the swaying of autumn leaves in a forest, a hopeful rainbow shining in the sky, the scent and colors of flowers, and the miracle of a setting sun—all overlapping together, a mixture of heart, thoughts, love, dreams, hopes, essential experiences, and countless imaginative images.

I want to convey many important messages through my music: love, hope, dreams, courage, emotion, the strength to overcome difficulties, and the wonder of art, music, and true love.

When I was in England, the climate was dry, so I had to be more careful about protecting my voice than I do in Japan. It is important to keep learning how to sing properly in order to deliver songs that truly move people.

When I was a child, I was deeply impressed by the songs and lyrics sung by Ryoko Shinohara, and I wanted to sing them too. I began practicing at karaoke, and over time I gradually learned how to sing both professionally and vocally.

I was also overwhelmed and inspired by Whitney Houston’s powerful voice, and I longed to sing songs like hers.

When I attended a friend’s wedding in Mexico, I was suddenly asked to sing at an outdoor venue in front of hundreds of people. To my surprise, everyone praised me warmly, and in that moment I felt the deep emotion and joy of sharing my voice with such a large audience.

I was also very happy when I performed on television in the Kanto region of Japan and won first place in a singing segment. The audience’s kind words—that my song was beautiful and moving—remain one of my most cherished memories.

To sum up my song in one sentence, I want to share with everyone the wonder and beautiful miracle of true and eternal love expressed through art and music.

I created this love song for my good friend’s wedding, writing it while imagining their true, everlasting love and happiness. Much of it was improvised, which made it feel even more heartfelt.

As always, I wrote and composed the song myself, but this time I also collaborated with an arranger who crafted a beautiful orchestral accompaniment for my music and vocals. I was truly happy with how it all came together.

I am currently composing jazz and new songs that are bright, positive, unconventional, and uplifting, and I hope to complete the accompaniment soon.

Some time ago in England, I also wrote the script, directed, and composed the lyrics and music for a one-man musical, in which I played the lead role and performed a medley-style song. I would love to release that work on CD in the future.

Together with Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey, I would love to sing artistic songs that share powerful messages with the world—peace, equality, love, and friendship—delivered through their incredible high notes and expressive vibrato.

I also dream of performing a cool, powerful, and charismatic live show with Robbie Williams that would thrill and excite the audience. These are my biggest dreams!

Participating in and winning the LIT Music Awards is a truly wonderful honor. It means that our music will be recognized worldwide, inspiring audiences, opening new opportunities, and being appreciated around the globe.

This recognition motivates us to take another step forward into a world filled with excitement and hope for the future. I would love to share this joy with everyone, continue to grow and refine our talents, and rise together.
