To those who feel lonely December 2nd 11:31

“Loneliness is when you can’t talk to anyone, when you don’t want to see anyone



.

In my second year of working, I met him when I was feeling depressed, lacking confidence, and feeling alone.

The song, which is close to the "loneliness" that everyone experiences, continues to encourage many people, just like I did.

Hiromi (34) "I don't think it's stopped."

Hiromi (34) said that when she was in junior high school, she struggled with interpersonal relationships in club activities and spent days in pain because she couldn't even keep up with classes at school.



It was her music that changed Hiromi.

She formed a band with her friends she met in high school, and finally made her major label debut.



However, it is said that her activity was suspended and she lost the course of her life.

Hiromi:


When (the band) went on hiatus, I thought my life was over. I was

It was at that time that I came across the song "Hanao".

"Page"


"People who quit their jobs, people who quit


music, people who


broke up, people


who went back to their hometowns,

I do

n't think it

's


stopped

It's a loud sound."




"The pain I'm in right now has a meaning. There is no failure in any way of life.



"



She wants to make songs that affect someone's life like "Hanao" who changed her, and she is resuming her music with her singing.

Shuichi (54) "If I hadn't met you"

Shuichi (54), who experienced the Great East Japan Earthquake in Kamaishi City, Iwate Prefecture, where he was born and raised.

His house was partially destroyed, and his classmates and acquaintances also died.



When he returned to his home in a daze, there was evidence that someone had entered with shoes on and various things had been stolen.



Three months later, Shuichi, who was spending his days depressed, was taken to a live performance by his friend.

There, he saw a live performance of a band in which "Hanao" was the vocalist.

"Furin"


"If I hadn't met you, I


wouldn't have met this loneliness, but


if I hadn't met you, I wouldn't


have met memories like that eternal summer."

Mr. Shuichi:


“When I went to see the live performance, the young people were doing their best. They were jumping and jumping. The songs I listened to gave me courage.I can't give up at such a young age.Even now, when March approaches, I listen to these songs and try to remember my dead friends."

Because I know how it feels to be alone

A singer-songwriter “Hanao” (43) who is from Sapporo and is based in his wife’s hometown of Otaru.

At the age of 24, he made his major debut as a vocalist in a band.



However, his contract with the record company ended when he was in his late twenties, as his songwriting did not go well and members left.



The loneliness he experienced in his disappointment and the sense of alienation he felt as a child are said to be the starting point for his current solo music activities.

“Hanao”: “Just


like how I used to be, I want to make music that can be close to when you are alone. It's strong to say no."

Underlying it is the "warmth of life", the "unrefined way of life", and the attitude of facing loneliness and weakness.



He continues to maintain close contact with people affected by the disaster.

Jin (43) "Come back to this town anytime."

Hitoshi is from Namie Town, Fukushima Prefecture.



Haramachi Ward, Minamisoma City, where I lived at the time of the Great East Japan Earthquake, is within 30 km of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant.

While most of the people in the neighborhood had evacuated, he felt as though he and his friends had been left behind.

Mr. Hitoshi:


“I don’t know how much the nuclear accident will affect me. The TV was on all the time, even when I was asleep. I've never experienced it before, but it felt like wartime."

"Hanao" made a concerted effort to hold a rock festival three years later together with Jin-san, taking advantage of the reconstruction support live that was held immediately after the earthquake.



"Hanao" is said to have worked hard to raise funds to set off the fireworks to make it a fun festival day.

"The skylark"


"Those called rubble are someone's treasures. 


Immaculate memories are always in my heart. Music ca


n't fix a broken building, but


if it's a heart that's on the verge of breaking down, the music embraced it


. Come back to this town anytime,


Minami .

Soma's cavalryman is crying in his hometown."

On the day of the event, some people came back after a long time, and there were many voices saying "I'm home!" and "Welcome back!".



Even now, Jin, who lives alone in Minamisoma City, continues to interact with Hanao.

Corona misfortune "You who overcame it are now there"

"Hanao" who was flying around the country with a guitar in one hand.


Due to the spread of the new corona infection, we had to limit live activities.



He started live-streaming on the Internet in a desperate situation.

"Hanao" always responds to each and every comment written during a live performance, as if he were talking to a friend on the phone.

 "Isn't it

 a


wonderful

life?

 "




In particular, school officials, who had witnessed the loss of smiles on the faces of children due to the cancellation of various events, said, ``I want to tell the students who are worried and can't look ahead.'' .

don't leave me alone

"page"


"The number that embarrassed me was the number that I fought for. The number that I was embarrassed was the number that I

tried


to advance.


I have a habit of being depressed by small mistakes and taking them seriously.


I came across this lyric when I was worried that I might have lost the trust of my superiors and seniors.



"I don't want to leave anyone behind, I don't want to be alone ."



I feel loneliness in various situations during the busy days.


I hope that Otaru will continue to transmit music that is close to such people.
