Fellows who chased the same thing together

When I was an elementary school student, I belonged to a choir of my school, and I was undergoing intense training every morning and every after school. I met fellows of the choir the other day. Some fellows who were very naughty in their childhood took their babies. Some fellows are so quiet but have solid comfort. Some fellows entertain us to smile. I felt happy to see them and find each unique individuality like those days. I thank them very much as if we were together all the time.

We sometimes clashed with each other, and our arguments sometimes didn’t overlap at all. But we overcame those problems together, and at last we united, and we could perform our music. I remember that I felt I was so nervous, but I was so delighted at that time. The memories of the period seems like yesterday. I found that they made what I am now. I think the experience in the choir is priceless and so valuable.

I’d loved singing since when I was young. I loved the time to sing together. I think the practices of every day were so tough now. But I didn’t feel they were hard at that time. I just enjoyed the time. I’ll never forget the days that we talked about various things, carrying each school bag after practice while the sun was setting. The days give me a push on my back for me now. Thanks. Do you have fellows who chased the same thing together? Feel free to leave me a comment.

同じものを追いかけた仲間がいるということ

小学生の時、学校の合唱団に入っていて毎日、朝と放課後の練習に明け暮れていた。
先日何年かぶりにそのときの仲間達と会っていた。
昔やんちゃしてた友達も子供を連れて来ていたり、静かにしてるんだけどいてくれるだけで安心感があるやつがいたり、みんなを笑わせて和ませてくれるやつがいたり、それぞれの個性があの頃のように残っているのを見て幸せだった。
久しぶりに会うのにずっと一緒にいたように暖かかった皆に感謝の気持ちでいっぱいだ。

時々ぶつかったり、噛み合わないことがあるときもあったけど、この前会ったメンバーみんな(1人だけ来れなかったけど)で全部乗り越えていって、最後1つになって音楽を奏でられた。
大きな舞台に立ってすごく緊張したけどすごく幸せだったのを覚えている。
あの頃が昨日のことのように蘇ってきた。
みんながいたから今の自分がいるということにも気づいた。

合唱団に入っていてよかった。
小さい頃から歌が好きだった。
皆で歌うのが楽しかった。
今思えば練習は多かったと思うんだけど当時多いとは全然感じなかった。
ただただ楽しかった。
放課後の練習が終わって日も沈んでいく中、皆でランドセル背負っていろんなこと話しながら並んで帰った日々を忘れない。
そんな日々が自分の背中を押してる。
行こうか。

Island Girl MV

I wrote this song and directed this film by myself. This film based on my real love for a girl I once met on a small unpopulated island of western Japan. I hope you'll enjoy this film.
