A Nostalgic Summer. - (Japanese Indie Playlist) Ichiko Aoba, Lamp, Haruka Nakamura

I'm a fourteen year old. I've really been noticing all the changes in my life, memories I used to remember, old friends, childhood songs I used to listen to... It all seems like a forgotten yesterday. I know I haven't lived for so long, but I already don't want to grow up. I've moved about seven times in my short life, and I miss all the friends and fun memories I made on the way. I love drowning in nostalgic images, songs... just about anything that reminds me of my childhood I can get my hands on. I really miss my childhood. It was magical. I recently moved to America from Korea, and it has been a tough time on me. I remember the simplicity of being a kid. I remember the hot summer days I'd spend with my best friend, who I still keep in contact with, Jay. We'd run around the stream behind her apartment and look under rocks for fun. I remember the sleepovers we did, and the first one being Jay leaving my house because she was too scared. I remember the first-ever white Christmas I had when I was seven, that was the first day when me and Jay met. We became inseparable after that day. I remember the hard exams and tests that I tried my best on. I remember my first innocent childhood crush. I never got to talk to him. But after all I've said, please don't forget, that it's ok to often have childish thoughts and look back on some of the things you did as a kid, even if it makes you cry, or sad. We all have those times at least once in our life. Thank you for reading.

oh to live in an obscure japanese indie film from the 2000s

What do you want to be when you grow up? I’ve been asked that a lot lately. I don’t want to grow up, I don’t want to face responsibility and actions with consequences. I want to stay in school with teachers watching over me. I don’t want to grow up and start college after high school in a few years. It’s my first time living life but I don’t know how to live it. I don’t know anything except I don’t want to grow up.

このプレイリストはとても穏やかで、母がこれらの映画を観ていた子供の頃のことを思い出させます。私が唯一気に入ったのは、20世紀に主演女優が歌うシーンでした。

the passage of time is scary. the years that I thought were 3 years ago is suddenly 7 years ago. the people who I met every day for a few years are almost strangers. everyone else seems to ride the waves of the years so well, while I feel like I'm barely struggling to keep my head above water. sometimes it's like i'm back to drowning all over again. even after I've tried to pull myself up, I'm still not where I want to be. everything I do feels fruitless and lost to the passage of time. but if I close my eyes, it's almost like I'm back to my childhood home without so much of a care in the world. I know it's not good to dwell in so much nostalgia, but it should be fine... to indulge myself sometimes.

I'm living in the countryside of japan, sitting under the tree, listening to these songs while the winds breezing, oh if it's not the best summer in my life....

Never had this kind of summer But I can feel it through music lol

i put this on and i started painting...some paints spilled on my paper and i didnt want to throw it...when it dried there were 2 big weird shapes and they reminded me of jellyfishes...i painted jellyfishes on them...evn tho i hate them because once when i was a kid one hurt me while swimming in the sea...i realised i actually have no right to hate them... they're so beautiful and innocent ... maybe its me the evil...its their home. and i was there swimming and annoying them.... love what you fear. its not always that horrible.

Just got back from a trip from Japan with my best buddies. Playlist truely brings the best memories back, I will miss Japan.

私はこれがとても好きで、その穏やかで美しいです (ᗒᗨᗕ)

I had my graduation party yesterday. Some friends will move away for school, some will stay in our area. I got enough points for my dream school (396/500) after taking the entrance exam, but most of my friends haven't tried to calculate their points yet, they're just waiting for official results on the 28th. I hope I can stay with a few old friends while also making new ones. It's scary. I've been going to the same school for eight years and it's all going to end In the blink of an eye. I still have one week left. One precious week that I wouldn't trade for the world. E, B, A, K, M, D, Y, U, MM, I love you guys so much. I hope we cna stay in touch and carry on playing stupid games together this summer... <3 I only just got out of my shell this year. After a severe depression of about 2 years, and 5 years of manipulation before that I've finally blossomed into my own personality. I'm allowed to like what I like, be like I am. I'm allowed to love with all my heart, buy little trinkets that remind me of my friends and gift it to them, make playlists for them. I'm good right now, just feeling a bit nostalgic. And to anyone out here reading this who's in the same situation as me, well make it through this. Let's make a lot of friends next year, work hard, and have a lot of fun!! I'm counting on you (｡• ◡ •｡) ♡

This playlist is giving 'Away from reality' somethin'. Im feeling very down these past few months from the dramas I've been facing. The feeling of wanting to be away from people, demn. These kind of playlists are my favorite.

i really appreciate the way you take the time to add the timestamps with song. this channel helps me when i'm anxious. thank you God bless you for being a peace bringer to this world~

Thank you for Ichiko Aoba. I didn't even know about the existence of such a beautiful songs

These songs give the vibe of your missing something!

My cat really like this playlist!Especially second song🥰

Giving 20th century girl vibes Fr 😭😭 love this playlist tho thanks!

For me, the moment when I was a child is something I can't forget. Now when I remember that moment a feeling of emptiness and happiness envelopes me.

Best playlist. I'm listening this Again and Again ❤😊

Nostalgia, time flies so fast.
