Message from Endo
My good old friend, Ken Morioka, has departed this world. His presence here had guided me throughout life up to this point.
I'm trembling, upon having just received contact of his passing. In addition to being an excellent, artistic composer, he was an outstanding performer: one the world may never again witness.
From here on out, I'll go on with my life singing, remembering all the days I spent with him, while storing the intense scenes of every moment within the deep recesses of my mind. He was a person who was so delightfully raised by the sounds of music which surrounded him, or as if his heart was sharpened by facing such music: either trait of which sometimes shook the world.
At least for me, he was one of a very few companions who truly did shake the world.
You've done so well, Ken. May you rest peacefully.
