“Yomo” May 2021, 11th edition.

Live by what you love. This is a wonderful video site that has spread such a world to me.
I’ve been watching it every day since I was in junior high school. It’s a part of my life.

People say I’m still young, but years ago, I was a bit of a youthful fool.
If I had continued to do so, I would have become a top YouTuber, which is not impossible.

To be honest, it’s hard to choose just one.
I’m not sure if I want to go pop, cool, or sad…
When I was thinking about it, I suddenly remembered one video.

I’ll never forget 3.11.

This video was made for free by a certain video company.
I don’t know who wrote the lyrics, though I may not have searched hard enough.
I heard that 80% of the audience was from overseas…
It makes me cry unconsciously. I really don’t know why.
You should see and listen to it at least once.

I was in elementary school at the time, and I can’t forget the images that came from the TV.
I still watch the images from that time from time to time. I don’t know if I want to forget it or not, but it had quite an impact on me.
The passage of time is merciless, and before I knew it, ten years had passed. I am sure that there are many people who are still living strongly with unhealed wounds.
The strength of a person is unfathomable, isn’t it? I am inspired by them.
It would be foolish for a person who was not involved in the disaster to talk too much about it, so I’ll stop here.

Nowadays, the new coronavirus is raging. I am sure that I myself and all of you have been greatly affected by it.
I’m not usually a person who says cheerful things, but I thought it would be nice to do so once in a while…
The world is ugly, painful, and dark, but it is okay to look down, to look back, to try to escape, and to cry.
It’s okay to look down, to look back, to try to escape, to cry, but let’s just laugh once in a while and live another step into a languid tomorrow.

This is a bit of a heavy topic, isn’t it?
In other words, let’s live as ourselves. Yes.

Thank you for reading this far.
I hope you enjoyed it, even a little bit.
I’ll see you soon.
