**Voices of children that cannot be put into words, discovered through lecture activities**
Satsuki Nishihara, an artist and founder of "Otomejuku," which supports makeup lessons and voice training for transgender women, has been touring junior high schools nationwide for several years, giving lectures. Looking into the eyes of the students from the stage in the gymnasium, she realized that an overwhelming number of children harbor anxieties about "being different from others" and the stifling feeling of suppressing their individuality, not just gender identity issues. Nishihara says, "I once felt like I had no place to belong. But by believing in myself and taking a step forward, I am who I am today. I want to convey that experience not just through words, but through 'music.' I want to empathize with them through melodies that resonate directly with their hearts, not just logic." From this strong desire, Nishihara herself launched a project to write lyrics and compose music.
Lecture "Living As Myself" held at Funabashi City Kaishin Junior High School in December 2023.
**The message embedded in the song is "Changing destiny with pop magic"**
The song selected for junior high school music textbooks this time is not merely about "promoting diversity."
Activity theme of "Sera Creative Production," where many transgender women are affiliated.
