Today I have been very blue. So I am thinking about the pasts which have been cheerful and fascinating.

Here is more reminiscence. Associated with the memories is an iPod, the inseparable device I brought with me while walking and living in Japan last year.

“A Sorta Fairytale”

Tori Amos

Minamikusami bus from Kokura, in front of the MOVE building, to Kokura Higashi Koko Mae (Kokura East HS) stop near Tahara JHS. Also linked to Murakami-san in that I made her a copy of the “Scarlet’s Walk” album and she loved it.

“Monochrome”

Yoko Kanno, vocals by Ilaria Graziano

Isolation in the colder months. (lyrics)

“Pete Standing Alone” and “Everything You Do Is a Balloon”

Boards of Canada

These two songs are intimately linked with my memories of exploring Akihabara for the very first time.

EssGee

Underworld

What the Statement of Agreement video might have sounded like. The song that brings it all back to me.
