Tsugaru Shamisen

So strong nostalgia from that time.
Living in Tokyo, but North Japan was my real territory.

When I hear this music, I remember those winter days when, on the shore of the Tsugaru Straight on either Hokkaido or Honshu side, I was looking at the sea, better to say what I could see of the ocean, sometime through a snow tempest, whipped by a chilling wind with no other noise than wind and waves on the shore.
I was as japanese as my japanese friend standing by me.
I was at home.
Now, I'm from nowhere!

Those who know me a little may understand.
