It was pointed out that because Japanese youth are hesitant to self-disclose, it is difficult for them to form intimate relationships. Therefore, We focused on personal nostalgia as a way to encourage deeper self-disclosure. Personal nostalgia is a kind of nostalgia based on personal events and includes narratives. In this research, We hypothesized that evoking personal nostalgia during conversation can encourage self-disclosure and improve intimacy, and conducted two subjects experiments. The results showed that intimacy increased the most in the conditions where the topics evoked personal nostalgia for both subjects. In addition, a system that recommends topics that evoke personal nostalgia for both was not related to the improvement of intimacy, but it was useful in determining the topic during conversation.
