Agency Art One Entertainment announced on Tuesday that singer Maon Kurosaki passed away suddenly on February 16 after a worsening of her chronic illness.
Kurosaki underwent emergency surgery for epidural hematoma (bleeding between the skull and the membrane surrounding the brain) in September 2021, after collapsing during the middle of a live-streamed concert earlier that month.
She died on February 16, 2023 following a period of declining health, after being diagnosed with an epidural hematoma in 2021.
On September 22, 2023, the day Kurosaki had debuted, a memorial event had been held with the name Maon Kurosaki Memorial Days Event "Future & Past", at Shirokane Takanawa Selene.
On September 30, 2023, a crowdfunding project was launched by Art One Entertainment to finish the documentary Maon Kurosaki: The Movie "If You Become Me That Day", which was scheduled to be released in Q2 2023, but was left in a state of uncertainty after Kurosaki's death. The documentary was aiming to follow the artist's path from the collapse in 2021, to the reemergence with the live event in July 31, 2022. To provide an insight into the film, a trailer was also released with the crowdfunding announcement, which was originally suggested by Kurosaki herself during a production meeting for the documentary.
The place of hope
黒崎真音 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
afraid of it
Never ever feel it as today
I don't know what you pray
for when you're alone
I don't know where we'll
go tomorrow
Never ever lose the way for you
we are still here
Take me high
Floating like a kite
Gently make me free
Holding a thousand dreams
流れる雲は ねぇ どこへ行くの?
What do you want?
What do you see? 未来は
いつの日か全てを
呑み込んでしまうけど
でも構わない
cause I will be there with you
I don't know why I miss the moon
Never ever felt as tonight
You don't have to be so nice
Just smile again
I don't know why I think of you
Never ever felt as today
You don't have to be so nice
Just be beside of me
Take you high
Floating like a bird
Gently make you free
Holding a thousand dreams
このままボクらは ねぇ
どこへ行くんだろう?
What do you want?
What do you hear? 未来は
いつの日か全てを
呑み込んでしまうから
終わりの日も
oh, I will be there with you
蒼い空が海へ落ちる
言葉は色あせてく
赤い月が微笑みかける
指先に溢れる愛を
流れる雲は ねぇ どこへ行くの?
What do you want?
What do you see? 未来は
そのまま太陽さえ
呑み込んでしまうけど
でも構わない
cause we will be there again
I'm always be with you
"The Place of Hope" by Maon Kurosaki is a song that talks about the uncertainties of the future and the fear that comes with it. The first stanza talks about the fear of the unknown and how it makes us question our purpose on this earth. The singer doesn't know why we're afraid of it but she's never felt it as intensely as she does right now. She wonders what people pray for when they're alone and where we'll all go tomorrow. But she knows that there's a reason that we're all still here.
The second stanza talks about the beauty of life despite its uncertainty. The singer doesn't know why she misses the moon tonight or why she's thinking of the person next to her. She urges the person to smile again and just be beside her. The chorus talks about taking each other high and floating like kites or birds. It's about being gentle with each other and holding on to a thousand dreams.
The bridge talks about the passing of time and how the future will eventually swallow everything up. But that doesn't matter because the singer will be there with the person she loves. The song ends with a beautiful image of a blue sky falling into the ocean and how love is the only thing that will remain even when everything else is gone.
