The Story
A memory behind the music
I found this song, much like a couple other songs on this playlist, at Tsutaya. I found it on one of those cold quiet winter or spring nights in Tokyo when I was still trying to figure out how to find friends. So when I couldn't find friends and didn't know what to do, and I really didn't want to go to some generic gaijin party, I'd go to Tsutaya by myself and look through their massive set of CDs for rent and find one to rent for the weekend. I'd rent them, take them home, copy them into my iTunes, then return the CDs a few days later. And this is one of those albums that stuck with me. I doubt anyone else there would look for and rent a CD like this as its kind of just...weird and subtle. But I loved it through that first year, 2016. I'd listen to it anytime I wanted to step outside that life of being in a new country, a new city, a new work environment, and not knowing what to do with myself.
