Twinkle

Before I knew it, while I was watching YouTube,
dawn had broken and it was raining outside.
When I wrote this a few days ago, it was also morning
and it was raining outside.
I am typing away on my MacBook Air.
The background music is nostalgic songs.
My first youth was all about the TK family.
Right now, I am listening to Tomomi Kahala's 'here we are'.
I was about 12 years old when this song came out.
Namie Amuro, globe, Tomomi Kahala, TRF... etc.
I used to sing them often at karaoke.

Last night, there was a TK song ranking on TV.
Apparently, 10,000 people voted.
I knew every single song,
but even listening to them now, they haven't faded, and I found myself captivated.
Maybe it's because I listened to them during my formative years,
so they don't fade,
but it really made me realize how amazing Tetsuya Komuro was.

When I became a middle school student, Hikaru Utada appeared.
It seems that even TK thought that with the emergence of Hikaru Utada,
he had reached his end.
Since she was creating songs like that at 15,
there is no doubt it was a huge shock.
However, the songs that don't fade even after many years
had a genuine sense of sadness in both their melodies and lyrics.
That is why I think they resonate deeply in the heart
and are never forgotten.
Well, that is probably because memories and feelings from that time
are reflected in them as well. Haha.

The artists who supported my impressionable teenage years
were full of vibrant and rich personalities.
It is a dawn where I remembered such things.
