According NHK, news broadcaster of Japan, the life of a Japanese teenager is harder than others. The pressure to study hard has driven many cases of suicide amongst junior high school students in Japan.
Angela Aki (one of the bests artists ever. hands down) wrote a song targeting junior high school students. It is about a 15 year old student who writes a letter to her future self, asking for guidance and reassurance.
…and sure enough, she receives a reassuring letter back.
It is such a beautiful song so please do listen to it. When you feel that the workload is pulling you down so much that you are suffocating and you can’t escape, find a peaceful spot and play this song.
