About me
Hello, I'm Ren. I live in Sendai. I work in retail and spend most of my free time listening to music, playing guitar, or taking photographs. I like record shops, small live performances, rainy streets, and the feeling of finding a song that matches a particular moment. I'm not a professional musician or photographer — I just enjoy making things without worrying too much about whether they are impressive. Sendai is large enough to be convenient but still close to the sea and mountains. I think it has a comfortable rhythm, and I would be happy to tell you about life here. I'm looking for pen pals who enjoy sharing music, creative ideas, and honest stories about where they are in life.
What I love writing about
Music, photography, creativity, growing older, local places, memorable conversations, and songs connected to personal memories.
Ask me about
Japanese indie music, record shops, life in Sendai, learning guitar, or what I like to photograph on ordinary streets.
My letter style
Personal, curious, and sometimes a little introspective. I often connect stories with music, places, or memories.
