1960s.

I like to spend my holidays relaxing.

It was a daily occurrence in our home.

My father read a book on the veranda,

It's warm and sunny, so I take a nap.

Mother for her children celebrating the New Year

She moves the knitting needles busily.

My younger brothers enjoyed assembling plastic models,

As for me, I struggled with Burgmuller.

(I had no musical sense

It must have been quite a hassle for the family

I feel sorry for this now.)

Sometimes it plays on the stereo

The melody called world music

"I want to go abroad someday"

I was somehow dreaming.

It was a foreign country that I truly longed to visit.

As time passes, I am conscious of my 60th birthday.

The reason why I stopped being conscious of national borders

Since when?

Everyone, please feel free to bring your passport with you.

I think I would have become an empty person.





2020s.

The international lobby is deserted.

There is no more travel to and from overseas.

In times like these

Who could have predicted that?

It seems like a lie that I was so busy.

However, at the same time

Relaxing time on your days off

It is true that I did get it.

Take out a memorable photo,

Feeling the air and wind at that time

I had time to reminisce.





Trying out local cuisine,

Try growing vegetables in the field,

Suddenly I realized that when I was a child

I realized that it was the same as the flow of time.

These days, we are conscious of global warming.

It's time to rethink our lifestyles.

Take your time

These days I want to spend time with my family.
