Hi everyone~ I’m Michelle Chan.

Choosing only ten songs to best represent myself was more difficult than I thought out to be. If you guys haven’t noticed, I’m not that good at expressing myself… So I hope that my playlist will help to give insight on who I am!

Gepetto – Grown
This song is completely relevant to how I feel right now. Everyday I think wow I’m in college! Just like the lyrics say “and looking back now, shit, i think i’ve grown.”

NAK x Wy-i-  – Night Sky 
Until recently, I never realized this song is actually Christian. I’m not Christian but i can still connect to this song because I really do love the night sky as lame as that is. There’s just so much of the universe left undiscovered and I’m just amazed by that.

April Nhem – Better
When I listen to this song I feel relaxed and remind myself to take a breather from life. I stress over things in my mind that I can’t even remember five minutes later. This song helps me to reset myself.

Utada Hikaru – Simple and Clean
This song comes from the video game, Kingdom Hearts. I played it often in my childhood, aka the simpler days. I enjoy the idea of simplicity because it honestly makes everything easier for me.

Chantelle & BVH – If I Lose Myself
I often get lost in my thoughts, but then I remember the people that support me. I was introduced to this song by my sister when I overheard her playing it. I often think of her when listening to this cover.

J-Min – 일어나 (Stand Up)
I heard this song in the Korean drama, To The Beautiful You. The meaning of the drama is essentially about not giving up. This song says just the same. Even though I’m not even Korean, I like many songs I can’t understand. When I listen to music, I just enjoy the feelings they give me.

EPIK HIGH – NEW BEAUTIFUL
Epik High has been known to create songs that are relatable for many people. They are going against what society accepts as “beautiful.” It’s a song that makes me feel accepted.

SHINee – A-Yo
One word: BOYBANDS!! haha 😀 I can’t help but break seriousness when talking about them. But really this is a catchy song that keeps me positive about life!

中山真斗(Elements Garden) – Tetsukazu no Kanjou
This piano instrumental plays in the romance comedy anime, Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun. The person who first sent me this song is important to me. It’s a cute piece that just gives me “fluffy” feelings.

Home Made Kazoku – Thank You
As the title clearly says, this song is a thank you for all the people who have made an impact on one’s life. It reminds me to be appreciative for those who decide to stay by my side. Once again it is also a reminder of my childhood since it came from the anime, Bleach, that I used to watch.

Well, finally this has come to an end!
