Question from a reader:

Memories of Ai George
Hearing the news about Ai George breaks my heart. His music has become a part of my memories from my school days. I still vividly remember the first
time I saw his performance.
First Theater Experience
It was during a university cultural festival. I had planned to go with friends, and we arrived at the venue with no idea what to expect. Honestly, we got there a bit too early. As we waited, feeling a mix of nervousness and anticipation, we watched the stage still in preparation. Then, the moment he appeared, the atmosphere in the venue changed completely. His singing resonated deep within my soul. I particularly remember his performance of “Bara ga Saita,” which still brings warmth to my heart when I think about it. His expressions, movements, and that voice had something beyond that of an ordinary artist.
Realizations in Adulthood
At the time, I couldn’t fully appreciate his Latin music. But now that I understand his struggles and passion, I can feel a deeper connection to the power of his songs. His voice conveyed emotions that went beyond mere melodies. Through his music, I was able to touch on themes like life, love, and suffering. I believe it’s only as an adult that I’ve come to understand the true meaning behind his songs.
