Deeply influenced by the Japanese culture that surrounded him, his interest for electronic music started to grow. And while it may have been the big electronica heros such as Yellow Magic Orchestra and Ryuchi Sakamoto that inspired him back then, Kenji today may look back on his own long-lasting career as producer, composer, DJ and remixer (e.g. for Al Jarreau and Ivan Lins). Countless successful releases in Japan, Europe, and the US on labels such as Sony and Universal/US, give Kenji impressive proof of his career.

My Destiny
Naoki Kenji Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm am aware now
about the difference between you and me
I'm sitting all alone
in the cold and empty room
i like awakened night
cause your shadow is following me
everything goes round and round and round and round and...
thought when you were gone

there's nothing right or wrong
this is my destiny (my destiny, my destiny)
kind time for healing the wounds you caused
face my illusions now that i can see the light
breathe in my heart and soul find me that your grown
no matter how hard i try the pain you caused went on and on...
thought when you were gone
there's nothing right or wrong
this is my destiny (my destiny, my destiny)
this is this is this is

my destiny
yeah, this is my destiny

Line by Line Meaning

I'm am aware now
I have gained realization

about the difference between you and me
of the distinction that sets us apart

I'm sitting all alone
I am presently isolated

in the cold and empty room
within a space that lacks warmth and life

i like awakened night
I find comfort in the late hours of day

cause your shadow is following me
for I am haunted by your memory

everything goes round and round and round and round and...
endlessly recurring, unresolved

thought when you were gone
I had previously believed that without you

there's nothing right or wrong
all things became indifferent

this is my destiny (my destiny, my destiny)
But I now know that this is predetermined fate

kind time for healing the wounds you caused
I now welcome the opportunity to recover from your damage
