Thank you for visiting.

Thank you so much for the likes, comments, and for adding this to your magazine!!!

I previously posted

Cherishing time by the sea
A recommendation for a digital detox
about the fishing trip my grandpa and I went on
and since so many people have viewed it,

I decided to write about it again
in this article.

I would be happy if you read it to the end.

🧸 Kumakko Mama-san, thank you.

The reason I decided to try a digital detox
through fishing
was because I purchased
Kumakko Mama-san's paid article.

It is this article here👇

😴 'Grandpa's Lullaby'

from my perspectiveThe hint to write it
came from
the song 'Grandpa's Lullaby'
written and composed by Ranbo Minami.

It is a gentle, yet somewhat bittersweet song.

I used to listen to it often as a child,
and at the time, I naturally associated it
with the time I spent with my grandfather.

It is strange, but
now I am living out the reality
described in these lyrics.

'Grandpa's Lullaby'

👇This is the song

Some of you might feel,
"Oh, I think I remember this."

I want my grandpa to stay healthy,
so it would be a problem if these lyrics came true.

The conversations and time spent with grandpa

in the lyrics of this "Grandpa's Lullaby"
written from the perspective of the boy
are very memorable.

The memories of grandpa,
the little lectures, and the small promises
exchanged are impressive.



The casual time spent between the boy and his grandpa in the lyrics
somehow stays in my heart.

🎣A recommendation for digital detox by cherishing time at the sea

More than whether or not we caught any fish,
and more than what we talked about,
I just wanted to put into words the feeling of "being together"
from the son's perspective.

For me (the son),
the sense of security in being togetherand the atmosphere and scenery the child was looking at,
I wanted to write as honestly and
as directly as possible.

🏝️The sea has many different expressions

Thanks to Kumakko Mama's article,
I was also able to do a digital detox at the sea.

I have had a deep attachment to the lyrics of "Grandpa's Lullaby"
since I was little, so I am
surprised and grateful that you all read it.

The reason this article was seen by so many people
is because it was
featured in a magazine,and because I got hints from the song written and composed by
Minami Ranboand the paid article by
Kumakko Mama.

🌊Finally

Cherishing time by the sea
The article titled 'A Recommendation for Digital Detox' is
also a
modest homage to 'Grandpa's Lullaby'.

Therefore, all the more
I include my gratitude and thanks.

(currently 80 years old)
(singer-songwriter and essayist).

He is still actively working today as asinger-songwriter, essayist, and mountaineer.

His most famous works are songs that became familiar through programs like NHK's 'Minna no Uta'.

A huge hit in 1976. It was broadcast on NHK's 'Minna no Uta' and covered by many singers.

• 'Yumi-chan's Moving ~Goodbye Tsutomu-kun~'A sequel-like song to Tsutomu-kun.

He has also worked on anime theme songs.

2. Hints about his personality and style

• Folk song
A folk singer active since the 1970s.

• Nature lover/Mountaineer
He loves mountain walking very much and has written many essays and books about mountaineering.

His style of cherishing the nature of Musashino is also a characteristic.

• Unique name
His real name is 'Ranbo Minami' (read the same way), and it is said that his stage name comes from the French poet
Arthur Rimbaud.3. Recent activities and image



•

EssayistIn addition to his music career, he has long been involved in work that weaves words, such as serials in newspapers and magazines, and lectures.

• Gentle speaking style
His gentle and intellectual character is also impressive when he appears as a commentator on TV programs or in travel shows.

• Media appearances
He sometimes appears in segments themed around nature and travel on programs like NHK Radio 1's 'Radio Shinbin'.

・Regarding health status
In 2021, during a stage greeting for a film he appeared in ('A Morning of Farewell'), he briefly left the stage due to mild anemia, causing concern among those around him, but he recovered quickly and returned to the stage.

Since then, there have been no reports of any major illnesses, and he continues to be active and healthy today.


• Musashino Poet
He loves the nature of Musashino, Tokyo, and continues to maintain a lifestyle that coexists with nature, with that area as his base.

• Active Mountaineer
As evidenced by his books such as 'The 50 Famous Mountains of Flowers,' he continues his activities of hiking mountains both in Japan and abroad throughout the four seasons.

As for Ranbo Minami recently,
his deep singing voice, which has grown richer with age, and his natural way of life are attracting attention as an 'ideal senior figure'.

⛱️To you, a precious presence
who has read this far✨

I feel it is very important that we were able to share the same time in the same silence.

Not too close, not too far.



Perhaps this sense of distance, where we can leave words and watch over each other quietly, is comfortable.

What is it that you want to share with someone?
What kind of thing is it?

Time you have cherished.


Unforgettable emotions.

Or perhaps,
a small longing that still remains deep in your heart.

If there is something you want to pay homage to,
I believe it is surely something that has
made you who you are.

Also, at some point.

I would be happy if we could exchange words
in the same way, within time.
