MovingSaitō Kazuyoshi

When we think about moving, we tend to focus on the new life waiting afterward, but in Kazuyoshi Saito’s “Hikkoshi” (Moving), he reflects on the memories that have accumulated up to that point.

The few belongings you had when you first came to this room have multiplied by the time you move out, and each one seems to hold a precious memory—surely that’s something you can relate to.

The tug-at-your-heart feeling before a move likely comes from the memories packed into the room—the time spent with friends and lovers.

How about spending just that last night savoring a touch of sentimentality with this song?
