A person from the melodic hardcore boom generation who loves music, photography, and eating. I’ve been going to live houses for over 20 years. I’m at the age where summer festivals are starting to feel tough physically. I sometimes try shooting live photos and videos for MVs. I’m not great at English, so I often listen to straightforward Japanese rock that hits directly, but if someone recommends something, I’ll listen to anything—Western or Japanese—broadly and casually. I like cooking while listening to music; it’s a nice way to relieve stress.

Do you have any “songs that bring back the past” when you listen to them?

Whether the memories are happy or painful, even if they’re not all good, you can never relive those moments exactly the same way again.

I’ve picked out some tracks that make you look back on the past and fill you with nostalgia.

There are love songs that remind you of an old flame, songs that bring back days from childhood or time with family—both old and new, gathered from across the years.

Listen closely, and they might give you that little nudge to reach out to someone you haven’t spoken to in a while.

Rekishi – History Brand-New Day (MUSIC VIDEO)

It’s wonderful that Rekishi is taking on history anew.

It’s true that history is just a record of the past, so new information keeps emerging every day.

I feel like I learned something.

I sense a philosophy of not treating history as a school subject, but as a way of learning about the past.
