Do you know the movie "Your Name"?

It is an animated movie that was a big hit in Japan several years ago.

I love the theme song of the movie, which is sung by a rock band called RADWIMPS.

RADWIMPS is my favorite rock band.

I was captivated by their music when I first listened to it.

I sometimes think that If had not got to know their songs, I would live a boring life, and also It is very important to find something we love.

When I was a junior high school student, my life was really boring.

There was never anything that seemed

interesting to me.

When I watching TV at home, I did not think it was fun.

At school, "I did not have anyone to talk with or anything to talk about.

Everyday life was really boring and I could not find anything I could be absorbed in.

I had a negative way of thinking and I even thought that that I did not mind finishing my life without any fun for my whole life.

In addition I was bullied by myclassmates.

They spoke ill of me and I was mentally

depressed.

I even thought about committing suicide.

Those days, I craved something that could Help me from the bottom of my heart.

Several years later, I came across a TV

commercial.

It was about the movie of "Your name".

I heard the voices of RADWIMPS for the first time.

At first, I did not have any special feelings about it.

But the next day, when I went to school, some of my classmates were talking.

As usual I was not in that conversation, but I noticed that they were talking about the RADWIMPS song that I heard the day before.

Trying to listen to their conversation more.

I turned my head to them.

Then one of the classmates looked at me and said "Oh! Do you know RADWIMPS? Their song is very good, isn't it?".

That was the first friendly conversation in my whole life with my classmates!

I could be friends with him ,come to talk with and go out together.

He lent some RADWIMPS CDs to me and we talked about the songs.

We also went to see the movie "Your Name" together.

I realized that I could find something I like.

That incident changed my life dramatically. The grayish sky has changed into deep blue and it felt like I could taste food again.

Above all, I felt that my classmate seemed to want to be with me.

For the first time, I felt that life is beautiful. RADWIMPS gave a large amount of energy to my life.

I was surprised to know that we can change our life by having favorite things.

I should not have said "Life is full of boredom." Actually, the world is full of many attractive things.

Thanks to my favorite thing, my life has become much brighter.

Having favorite thing makes our life really great.

　Why do not you take a look at your favorite thing again?

I am sure that you can cherish it more and realize its importance again.
