"Hand paper ~ Bye Kai To fifteen-year-old you", a song that sensationalized the whole of Japan in 2008, was inspired by singer Angela Aki after seeing a letter she wrote to her current self 15 years ago on her 30th birthday. This music short film was specially filmed after Yaji announced an indefinite farewell to the music scene in 14 years and launched a selection of albums, telling a story before Yaji became famous at the beginning.
Born in Tokushima to a Japanese father and an Italian-American mother, Yagi was born in Tokushima and spent three years in high school in Okayama, in Hawaii in high school, in Washington, D.C., and now in Tokyo.
She began learning piano at the age of 3, and at the age of 18, she attended a concert with a favorite singer and decided to become a singer.
These rich life experiences have created Yaji's rich feelings and paved a uneven but rich musical road for her.
Although she has a past that no one favors, and has also been picked up by drunken guests during the residency, and has had the experience of being sneered at, none of this has knocked her down, and she has never given up her goal of "going to the budokan for concerts in three years".
As long as you don't give up your dreams, you will definitely find an exit in the end. As the song goes: I can't do it / I want to cry / I want to disappear into this world / Whose words should I believe / Keep trying to move forward in pain / This song full of positive energy has even been included in Japanese textbooks and become a music class track for students. It has also been covered in various languages, and after being covered by Taiwanese singer Rene Liu Chinese, the song titled "Continue - To the Fifteen-Year-Old Self" also quickly became popular in China.
Everyone in the short film, although they are of different ages, different professions, and regardless of gender, they all have their original dreams and strive for it. There have been confusion, there have been pain, I have thought about giving up, I have thought about ending, but in the end I still decided to stick to myself and live for my ideals.
When you were fifteen,
What kind of fantasies have you had about the future?
And at your age,
How do you feel about "fifteen years old"?
The longing of being under fifteen years old, the excitement of just turning fifteen,
After experiencing the full memories and emotions after the age of fifteen,
No matter what age group you are,
You can all learn something in this short musical video.
When he was young and crazy, he was always full of impulse and passion, dreaming of being able to realize the yearning and pursuit in his heart.
But on the way to becoming a "dreamer", when you have been ridiculed, beaten, and said to be delusional, are you still willing to stick to it?
Who says snails can't cross the desert, and butterflies can't fly in the sea?
When you can seize those opportunities, do your best to break through the obstacles that lie in your life.
If you are at the age of fifteen, you may wish to write a letter to your future self, and after ten, twenty, fifty years have passed, then open it to see if your dream is still sticking.
A little more perseverance, a little less sentimentality,
A little more passion, a little less negativity,
Please live enthusiastically and actively,
To the past, present, future self.
