One of the pieces performed was my favorite—Beethoven’s Symphony No. 6　Op.68, “Pastoral.” Every note overflowed with the passion he had poured into music throughout his life. It truly felt like the music was alive. A beautiful moment I never wanted to end. Thank you, Maestro 🎶 もう半年も前の話ですが、指揮者井上道義さんの引退コンサートへ行った時のこと。 演目の一つは、私の大好きなベートーヴェン交響曲第6番「田園」。 すべての音から彼の音楽にかけてきた情熱が伝わるような演奏だった。「音楽が生きている」そんなことを感じられる、終わりが来るのが惜しいほどの美しい時間だった。 ありがとう、マエストロ♫ **Language**: English *43 likes · 1 comments · 1350 views* [View this moment](https://www.hellotalk.com/moments/tNRUqDPTBWSNHD.md) --- ## 2. 6/12/2025 A friend said, “This is the thing for summer,” and somehow I ended up buying these room sandals.🤣They really are incredibly comfortable. Can’t imagine this summer without them! 😌🩴 「夏はこれだよ」と友だちに勧められて、無印良品のルームサンダル買ってしまった！たしかになんともいえない心地良い履き心地😄 今年の夏は手放せなくなりそうです🩴 **Language**: English *34 likes · 4 comments · 860 views* [View this moment](https://www.hellotalk.com/moments/Nax3IlO0PNNjHD.md) --- ## 3. 2/4/2025 It was a cold day today. I was working from home, and when I laid down on the heated carpet for a short break, it felt so good that I accidentally fell asleep. It feels pretty nice to have my back warmed up! 今日は寒い1日だった〜 在宅で仕事中、ちょっと休もうと思ってホットカーペットに横になったら、うっかり寝ちゃいました🤣背中が温かくなるのって本当に最高！ **Language**: English *69 likes · 12 comments · 1756 views* [View this moment](https://www.hellotalk.com/moments/ZTHxFWJDPDH5DD.md) --- ## 4. 1/27/2025 急性胃腸炎になった！ だいぶ回復してきたけど、オンライン会議に映る自分がゴーストに見えた🤣 I've been suffering from acute gastroenteritis since this weekend. Though I'm feeling much better now, I looked like a ghost during today's online meeting. 早く回復してPizzaたくさん食べたい🍕 **Language**: Japanese *26 likes · 6 comments · 1064 views* [View this moment](https://www.hellotalk.com/moments/W4DRWVAcOExcDD.md) --- ## 5. 1/14/2025 I've been hurt recently. How do you sort out your feelings when you are suddenly and unexpectedly betrayed by someone with whom you have cherished a relationship? How do you convince yourself? I am filled with the feeling that...I was not a good judge of character. I can only laugh at my own stupidity.😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨 信頼関係を築いてきた大切な相手から、ある時まったく予期せぬタイミングで、その信頼関係を壊されたとわかったときどうしますか？ どうやって自分の心を納得させたらいいの？ 私は...人を見る目がなかった自分のマヌケぶりに自己嫌悪です。あーこの鬱陶しい気持ち、なんとかしたいっ！ **Language**: English *23 likes · 21 comments · 997 views* [View this moment](https://www.hellotalk.com/moments/XPD4L3twJRxMDD.md) --- ## 6. 1/3/2025 I lost one of the dearest person in late autumn 2023, but I got lots of precious things and met awesome people in 2024. I encountered nice colleagues at my new workplace and gained fulfillment on work. Besides, I have met some wonderful friends here. Thank you all! Warm wishes for the glorious new year!! **Language**: English *24 likes · 2 comments · 733 views* [View this moment](https://www.hellotalk.com/moments/qVHbEWZwuQRMDD.md) --- ## 7. 9/22/2024 UMI **Language**: English *61 likes · 12 comments · 1106 views* [View this moment](https://www.hellotalk.com/moments/qVVPMGXPMcD4DD.md) --- ## 8. 8/12/2024 I feel a bit sad because the Olympics are over.I was really moved by the athletes' amazing performances and sportsmanship. Whether they got the results they had wanted or not, I have so much respect for the physical and mental dedication they showed to get there. During the Olympics, I happened to personally meet a professional racing driver by chance.Through our chats, I learned about his strong mindset and his passion for bouncing back, as he battles with himself every day, embodying the spirit of an athlete. I imagine it takes incredible perseverance, mental strength, and years, sometimes decades of effort to excel in the field. Unfortunately, life doesn't guarantee that eveyone's hard work will be rewarded, but I believe that seeing people continuously strive inspires and gives courage to others. Becoming more compassionate and growing as a pesron over time are also great achievements that result from continuous effort. Through the encounters I've had over the past few weeks, I've been reminded to diligently continue my efforts towards my challenges. And I hope that I can inspire someone else one day. **Language**: English *28 likes · 5 comments · 1074 views* [View this moment](https://www.hellotalk.com/moments/DRRmukZlR1DVDD.md) --- ## 9. 5/7/2024 このvoice room、すっごく 入りにくいけど、ロバート秋山さんいるし入りたいなぁ🤣 **Language**: Japanese *23 likes · 1 comments · 1338 views* [View this moment](https://www.hellotalk.com/moments/qzM0zWDMISV3DD.md) --- [View all moments on HelloTalk](https://www.hellotalk.com/partners/ELAINA22/moments.md) [Back to Elina's profile](https://www.hellotalk.com/partners/ELAINA22.md) --- ## Language Exchange Partners -
