Today, I would like to talk about my favorite song "Dear you 15yars old" (Haikei 15sainokimie) by Angela Aki.
She is a Japanese-American women who practiced the classical music on the piano in Japan. Also, she learned the jazz piano in the US.
She said that these hard experiences make what she is today.
This song is about context of a letter which sended to himself or herself 15 years old and 20 years old each other. The writer talk about her trouble to herself who is 20 years old. The receiver give herself who is 15 years old adbvices.
I like this point. when I was 15 years old, 5 years ago, I was looking for what I really want to do. About getting into the university, about friends, about study, about a club activity...I had to concern about many things. The answer for that isn't written on the text book and answered by teachers and parents because it was in only inside of my heart. So, I almost lost myself. This problem isn't only for me but for all my classmates. The age of 15 is like that.
However, I became 20 this year, the issues which I was always thinking doesn't seem so big problems. I can't decide it is good or not, but I, 15 years old, made efforts for anything however it didn't work. At least, I have being forgot furiousness more and more.
Thus, this song makes me recall those memories.
I try to advance more than yesterday and more than today!!

It is one of my favourite song too, you know. I'm 'only' 17. years old, but when I think about past... now I'm more different person than I was one, two and three years ago. Time changes people, I think.
