Photo gallery in November is now posted! This month’s theme is Aimyon’s HARU-NO-HI

Every month, I post three photos that I took through the month.

To take good photos, it is important to have more people see them. It is also wonderful to make people happy with the photos that I took. That’s why I post photos every month!

CD jacket reflecting individuality of each class mate

The theme is Aimyon‘s hit song. Haru-no-hi is the theme song of the movie “Crayon Sin-chan” released in 2019. It was like “let’s take pictures as we would make CD jacket for the song!”.

When we were in the beginner’s class, we had rather more abstract themes (“Aspiration” in August 2020, “Irreplaceable time” in June 2020). But as we were promoted to the intermediate class from October 2020, suddenly more concrete and practical theme was given.

However, despite of the super-specific theme, all the photos submitted by my class mates clearly showed their personality and what they wanted to take as photos. No matter what the subject is, we would express with photos of what we like to shoot. It’s just like graduating the beginner’s class and moving up to the intermediate level. Good for us!

And it was relaxing time that we talked about the impressions of each one’s “best photo” and “not-so-good photo” instead of “selecting the best photo in the class” like last month.

The first photo is “silver”

So, what “Haru-no-hi” is for me.

The lyric is deployed within three different times in chronological order.

“The past” where a young male and a female students met and swore their future
“The present” where they work hard after graduation
“The future” where they will get married someday and will become family

And three colors symbolizing the three chronological times are woven into the lyrics.

“The past” is silver
“The present” is indigo blue
“The future” is sky blue

Speaking of a subject that can express all three colors is,

Yes! The sky.

This photo was shot with an image of a scene where the two students talked to each other. The sky and trees where the silver light shined down. It would be a time full of hope for them.

The second photo is “Indigo blue”

After graduation, they have started working respectively. The indigo blue oozed with the sunset color symbolizes the mixture of their anxiety and expectation.

The third photo is “Sky blue”

The two who became a family will have a new life, and their loved ones will be increasing. The image of further and further growth is like a cloudless blue sky.

I looked up at the sky every day and took lots of photos of the sky. The sky is not same every time. I had not known that the sky had such many various expressions.

And, on the earth where we live, there is always the sky when we look up. I understood it once again. The sky envelops everything.

That’s really nice.

Those are the CD jacket version with the copy.
