Charlie: "Ningyo Hime" - Rie Tanaka (CHOBITS Anime Ending)

Age: 13-15
Context: Chobits was the first Manga I ever saw/read at 10 y.o., which sparked my love for Manga and Anime, which ultimately sparked my love for drawing and arts.. I still LOVE the song but I was super ashamed to unironically listen to anime music back in my early teenage years.

Zuhui: "Prologue" - David Newman (Soundtrack from Disney movie 'Anastasia')

Age: 14-16
Context: I remember feeling a sense of shame for liking music from animated series or movie when I was a teenager. As a kid I wanted to be seen as grown up as much as possible and do grown up stuffs, so enjoying something from animated contents made me feel immature. Apart from how misleading the historical facts are in this Disney movie, I still love the atmosphere and the song it created around the pre and post Russian revolution, with magic in between.

GUILT

Prompt: A guilty pleasure song from your teenage years (you still listen to).

---

Imina: "You'll Always Find Your Way Back Home" - Hannah Montana

Age: 12-14
Context: If Hannah Montana can find her way back home, so can I :')

---

Zuhui: "Pump it" - Black Eyed Peas

Age: 14-16
Context: I used to be a big fan of the Black Eyed Peas as a teenager because back then they were the coolest thing ever. I still listen to some of their songs, but I think I feel guilty about it because my friends think they're cringe. It's mostly because their music is now played regularly at tasteless pubs and clubs during 2000s-themed nights(but I would still love to dance my ass off to this).

SORROW

Prompt: A song that made you sob or which you listened to when you were terribly sad.

---

LOVE

Prompt: A song from an artist/artists/band you still listen to today.

Sevgi: "Haberin Yok Oluyorum" - Duman

Age: 15
Context: Duman's concerts were the first concerts where I went with my friends, drank beers and had loads of fun. I loved this song because the crowd would become one and sway one way and then the other together and it felt incredible to finally be a person but also belong to the crowd.
