As summer approaches...the temperature is currently close to 30 degrees, so it's already summer.
There is music that you want to listen to during this season.
There are probably few people in my generation who know about the "clock system."
The famous songs "Endless summer" and "Telephone girl" are a big hit at live performances.
The band name later changed to "Swash".
I've been a big fan ever since I first heard it when I was in high school.
Unfortunately, they disbanded a long time ago,
From now on, I won't be listening to their new music or live performances.
Even after more than 20 years, this music still holds fond memories for me.
When I was just 19 years old, I moved to Tokyo under the scorching midsummer sun.
I used to listen to it a lot when I was wandering around Tokyo for job hunting.
Walking from Yutenji to Shibuya when the temperature is over 30 degrees,
I didn't have any money so I filled my stomach with water from the park.
Even if the room was too hot, I couldn't turn on the air conditioner, so I slept in the park,
It was one of the pieces of music that supported me during difficult times.
Back then, I was able to overcome this with my youth and endless physical strength.
Without this music, I would have returned to Hiroshima with a broken heart.
It's because of these memories that I can continue to do my best.
Every time I listen to it, I feel that each song is a part of my life.
It's really convenient these days when you can listen to something on YouTube if you want to listen to it for the first time in a while.
I'm grateful that I can listen to even just a part of it,
I ended up buying it in bulk and listening to it all (lol)
I'm an old man who isn't young enough to walk outside in the middle of summer,
No matter how many times I listen to it, it's still good!
