Migiwa

I participated in GMA as promoter in the spring of 2000.
And I started operations as a singer song writer in Japan.
I have released 4 CD’s of my own.

I liked church, but not school. I didn’t understand why it was necessary to study. So I was always alone. Then I began to think I might be a very strange girl. I stopped going to school.

After that, my world became my room.
I chose to be alone, but then I began to be afraid of being alone.
I thought to myself, “society does not need me anymore”, so I started thinking of suicide.

I appealed to my mother, “I want to die, I want to die”.

However, it was very strange that I kept going to church.
I felt church was the only place I could go, and that I could be myself.

It is because of my song I just sang. “You are Precious.”.
The Bible says, “You are precious before my eyes. And I love you.”
This Bible verse always stayed in my heart.

I am in one sense a “lost girl” or a “failure”,
but God has told me that “you are precious. I love you.”

Then I realized that it’s OK for me to live, I don’t have to die.
I must live my life. I started going outside.

In Japan there are many sad incidents happening in Japan…
families killing their own family members, many people committing suicide.

I may be a very small person,
but I want to keep singing to spread the true love to the Japanese people.

As you know, there are very few Christians in Japan.
I’d like to present attractive and high-level music to the Japanese people.
And I hope my music might help them to come to know the true God.
My dream is to become a wonderful powerful artist to have an impact on the Japanese people.
