Music That Moves the Heart -Vol.1-

Thank you for always reading my posts.
To those who are new here, thank you
for finding me.
This time, I would like to introduce some music
that has moved my heart throughout my journey.

Even when I say music that moved my heart,
the ways in which emotions are stirred vary.
What I am introducing today
is a song that taught me it is okay to move forward
while still carrying my weaknesses.

Days when I feel down.
Days when I stumble and cannot look ahead.
Music that gave me courage and energy
during those times.
Songs that encourage me.
Songs that comfort me.
Songs that powerfully push me forward.
Warm songs that gently wrap around me.

I cannot play any instruments, but
I feel that music has always been by my side
and has supported me.
I love to sing, so sometimes I let out
my feelings and thoughts through my voice.

The music I listen to is diverse,
and while it is basically Japanese music,
I listen to all genres including
J-ROCK, J-POP, R&B,
HIPHOP, and idol music,
regardless of whether it is from the Showa, Heisei, or Reiwa eras,
as long as I find the lyrics or atmosphere wonderful.

So, I will end my story here
and get to the main topic of music introduction!

The song I am introducing is this one.
The one song that pushed me forward.

"Ketsui no Asa ni" / AquaTimez

Listening to this song, I felt that
I don't have to force myself to suppress my loneliness or weaknesses,
nor do I have to force myself to accept them.
It is okay to be a coward.
I don't have to try to put on a false front.
I don't have to pretend.
It is okay to be myself without dressing things up.

I felt that perhaps such thoughts were woven into it,
and I received courage and energy.

And through the connections here on note,
I feel that my own way of expressing myself and my words
have been accepted.
Believing in this warmth,
I decided to try living as myself with a "clumsy, bright, and cheerful dream filled with love."

This isan experiment called a challengebut
I had an idea that it might be interesting
to create a membership where I share
the music that gives me courage and energy
and share what I felt.
I haven't prepared anything yet, though.
I feel like it might be good to first introduce 2 or 3 songs like this

and then transition to a membership.

While posting articles and essays in parallel,
I am thinking that when I try writing paid articles,
it might be good to make them readable for members.

I imagine it would be fun to create an account
where you can enjoy the senses of "seeing," "reading," and "listening"
in three stages: thumbnail illustrations, articles/essays, and music!
I think the points that make the heart tremble with music
are different for everyone.

It could be the lyrics, the musical style,
or the rhythm.
Everyone has their own preferences,
and there are lyrics and melodies that resonate with each person.
I don't know if there is a demand for it,
but I hope that the songs I introduce
can gently light up someone's heart and warm it.

I will close this by showing the moment Nya-nya was being charming
while I was creating the thumbnail illustration!
