After a year in the capital, Issam's love for his new home country had blossomed into a will to explore areas outside of the capital. In September, he decided to take a city break to one of Okinawa's islands of paradise. After landing in Miyakojima at night, he heard of the pending typhoon, which hit the island the following day. After finally finding a vacant hotel room, Issam decided to take to the streets of the island in search of a story.

At the Pisara Bar , the friendly bartender Kaji-san introduced him to his neighbors at the counter, including calligraphic artist, Daichiro Shinjo.

The two engaged in lengthy conversations, in a mixture of Japanese and English, and discovered many common interests. Issam decided to ask Daichiro-san to collaborate, immediately, to capture their meeting's spontaneity and their respective passions for their art. After professing interest in the idea, but admitting having too much to drink for the occasion, they decided to meet the following day again.

The next day, as the typhoon gradually worsened and their heads felt the effects of the previous evening's drinking, they decided to postpone again to allow Daichiro-san's grandfather to be involved in the piece.

Daichiro-san's grandfather is a Buddhist monk, and they met the following evening in front of a historic Buddhist temple dating back to 1611.

Issam was filled with awe at the beauty and peace of the shooting location. The significance of the location and the presence of Daichiro-san and his grandfather gave the filming of the video an emotional backdrop: two generations making art in a haven of spirituality, safe from the dramatic weather outside of its doors.
