Kiyosaku has released "Omouta" which was used
in JT commercials.
There are six versions of "Omouta",
each song is about love of parents,
(long-distance relationships) lovers, (childhood friends) companions,
work colleagues, sisters and married couples.
I like the lovers, parents and companions' versions.
The lyrics of the long-distance relationship version
are similar to those of a widower.
Thogh the widower cannot meet his former partner ever again.
'Higan (equinoctial week) is soon.
This years Higan is the sixth Higan in spring since my wife passed away.
Watching various TV reports 10 years after
the Great East Japan Earthquake,
there are some things that have not changed even after 10 years
and some things that have changed after 10 years.
Six years have passed since my wife passed away,
and there are some things that haven't changed
and some things that have changed.
My feelings have changed a lot.
Shortly after she passed away,
I felt like I was the only one brought to a world without my wife.
It was like living in a Paradox.
But I don't feel like that anymore.
Shortly after she passed away,
I wanted to talk about my wife not only with my wife but also with strangers.
But now I don't want to talk about my wife with friend.
Of course, I haven't forgotten her.
I've never forgotten her for a day.
I want to keep those feelings deep inside my heart.
I feel that there is something more important now.
I hope someday that I can drink and talk without worrying about anything.
Even in this situation,
I am very grateful to my friends who contact me from time to time.
