Most of all Love & life. Girlfriends, movies, food, books, travelling, relationships etc. And lots of good music of 'course. But there is so much music in the world, that I can't mention just a couple of things, it would look silly and give you the wrong impression. So I don't mention anything.
Tanabe Mamoru is a Tokyo based singer and songwriter. His songs are bitter-sweet portraits of life and love. His experience of modern Japanese life is wryly humorous but his themes are serious and universal.
When I think of my life I often forget the small things that make me happy. Going for a walk, seeing a kind face, eating something really good, spending a day doing nothing with someone I love. But listening to Tanabe Mamoru's music I am reminded of all the small happinesses and sadnesses that make my life. And, somehow, because they are such ordinary things they become important again.
