When I first watched Welcome to the NHK, fresh out of high school, it hit me deep in an uncomfortably cathartic way, but I was hopeful for the future as I thought this feeling doesn't last forever. I watched it again around the time I graduated from university. I was surprised by how relatable it still was, but again I felt I had a bright future ahead. 5 years later I'm sitting here listening to this beautiful album and wondering if it's maybe time to watch Welcome to the NHK again.
