短編アンソロジーのシリーズ「A song in the laundry room」最初のストーリーのタイトルは「A memory is something you have or something you have lost」です。
このストーリーは、2019年Copenhagenに住んでいたガールフレンドの家の窓からの日常の風景を撮影したものです。
彼女は家にいるときのほとんどの時間、この風景を眺めていました。心が満たされたり、落ち込んだりしても、その風景は変わらずそこにありました。

Copenhagenを訪れる前に、彼女から一通の手紙を受け取りました。そこには、日常のあなたがどれだけ思慮深く考えるかによって、人生が少し良くなるだろうと書かれていました。その後に、こうありました。
「A memory is something you have or something you have lost(記憶とは、あなたが持っているものか、もしくはあなたが失ってきたものなのか)」
手紙を折り畳むと、物欲しさと希望が入り混じった不思議な感覚に襲われました。

私がコペンハーゲンに彼女を訪ねた直後、彼女はアントワープに引っ越し、彼女自身がずっと頭の中に思い描いていたやりたいことを始めました。

First story is titled “A memory is something you have or something you have lost”.
This story records ordinary scenes through the window of my girlfriend Seiko's house in Copenhagen, 2019. The pictures stand as it is just ordinary scenes of one, but it can be something meaningful scenes for other one. She has been looking at this scenes most of the time when she was at home. Whenever she felt depressed nor her heart were full filled by 000, this scene’s been standing as it is.

Before I visited her in Copenhagen, I’ve received the letter from her. she wrote that the life will be better a bit depending on how thoughtfully you think on ordinary day.
‘A memory is something you have or something you have lost" This beautiful sentence was followed afterwards.
I fold the letter and felt this strange mixture of wistfulness and hope, and I wondered if a memory is something you have or something you've lost.

She moved to Antwerp right after I visited her in Copenhagen and started what she wanted to do.

About A song in the laundry room

“A song in the laundry room” is my new series of personal short stories which seems it doesn’t make any sense for someone else. But, I personally have it as small treasure of my life and made it for only myself.
The series title “A song in the laundry room” is named after the sentence of Brazilian author Clarice Lispector’s novel.
