"As soon as I picked it up, I was completely absorbed in it. It felt like light seeping through a door—I wanted to reach out and grab the doorknob, but no matter how hard I tried, I just couldn’t quite grasp it... That’s the sensation it evoked. The writing is as beautiful as a once-in-a-lifetime shooting star, striking right at the center of your heart. I highly recommend this book not only to those who have attended LIFE FORCE but also to anyone who loves to travel. I really hope you’ll read it on a quiet autumn night." ∈Y∋(BOREDOMS)

“The story of Massa Horie—the mastermind behind LIFE FORCE and author of this book—and his journey to the doorstep of LIFE FORCE, driven by his resolve to live life as music.”

Having left Japan in the 1970s, Massa traveled a long road in search of answers to profound questions.

Life in the wilderness, where beauty and danger go hand in hand; the borders that separate peoples and languages; and the daily lives of those who live within them.

Vivid memories and scenes are depicted with lively prose.

Cultivating a unique worldview untainted by external influences, and acquiring a distinctive sense of self and dynamism.

The importance of being aware of who you truly are and expressing that through your actions is conveyed with wit and a rhythmic writing style.

In the philosophy underlying the story, one can discover secrets that remain valuable even today.

A glimmer of hope for escape from the situation—one that can only be found amidst a society descending into chaos and collapse.

To attain true peace of mind, one must first secure one’s spiritual and cultural rights.

The power to face battle head-on. That is the Life Force.
