32/50 Time spent just immersing myself in my favorite songs

The night is a time of silence.

Sometimes silence gently wraps around me.
Sometimes silence leads me into the darkness of loneliness.

Last night, in the silence,
I spent some time immersing myself in my favorite songs.

Yes, this time,
“Creating time to immerse myself in my favorite songs”

I love music,
and I have tons of favorite songs.

What should I choose as my favorite song?

A new album would be nice,
but songs full of memories would also be nice,
and so on, without being able to decide...

♪

At that moment, what suddenly came to mind was
the
“TwitCasting”broadcasts I used to listen to often five or six years ago.

What is TwitCasting...

It is a place to communicate with people around the world through live streaming.
The content varies, including casual chats, radio broadcasts, game streaming, and anime.

Back then,
things weren't going well with my boyfriend,
and regarding my job as an elementary school teacher,
I couldn't hold any hope for the future.

Regarding myself as well,
feelings of worthlessness and loneliness were always clinging to me,
and it was a very painful time.

At that time, I don't remember
what triggered it,
but I was glued to a broadcast I happened to find
on TwitCasting.

♪　

That person was someone named“Miro”who played the piano.

While talking in a relaxed, natural way,
the piano performance was top-notch.

Ghibli songs, Disney songs,
and popular songs learned by ear
were played one after another.

It felt like the hole in my heart
was being filled with kindness,
and just listening to it was healing.

Some songs are also available on YouTube.

“I tried playing Neko Funjatta with an emotional key change”
This seems to have been used in a commercial, so it's a bit famous.

“Machigaisagashi / Masaki Suda x Kenshi Yonezu”
The arrangement is beautiful, and I find myself captivated by it.

With that said, last night,
I opened TwitCasting for the first time in a while,
and went to peek at the broadcast.
(First of all, thank you for continuing it all this time!)

The regular broadcast from 11:00 PM on Sunday.

After talking about the live performance for about 30 minutes,
(The way he talks hasn't changed at all...)

and playing a funny original song he composed,
(This hasn't changed either...)

the piano performance finally began.

♪

There were various songs, including the latest track from the band he belongs to,

and songs I was hearing for the first time
that didn't even exist five or six years ago.

While I was moved by it all,
I was waiting for a certain song.

That was,"One Summer's Day"

How many times have I been healed and saved
by this song played by Miro?

It's so gentle... so gentle.

It was past midnight,
and my husband was sleeping soundly beside me.

I turned the volume down to the minimum,
and listened while holding my smartphone to my ear.

Then, it started playing!!

"It's 'One Summer's Day'!!!"

I recognized the familiar intro immediately.

"Ah..." a sigh escaped me.

Memories of my past came flooding back all at once.

The lonely version of myself.
In the darkness where I had no idea
what I should do from then on.

In that darkness, this song was my "light."

Arrangements I had never heard before
were woven in one after another,
and the beautiful melody continued for over five minutes.

I was crying the whole time.

Thank you.

I was saved, and now I am here.

Truly, thank you.

I was able to soak in my favorite song to my heart's content.
I want to listen to it with my baby once they are born.

Because my past self sought the light,
and walked step by step
along a path that seemed dark,
I am who I am today.

I was able to reflect on it once again.

A song that is precious to me.

I loved it so much that
I wanted to play it myself.

After practicing for over five years since then,
I have finally been able to play it properly recently.

Even so, it is stumbling,
and the performance is embarrassing, but...

Please listen to it if you would like.

Thank you for reading again today♪

Is there a song that is precious to you?
