Nostalgia is a complex emotion comprising multiple elements such as pleasant emotions and autobiographical memories( Shimada, 1997; Barrett et al., 2010). This study systematically reviews previous research on the relation between nostalgia and music to clarify its nature and characteristics. Autobiographical memories were also focused on in the research as they were assumed to be associated with both nostalgia and music. Out of 125 papers on nostalgia and music, 17 were selected for the analysis. The results showed that many prior studies focused on the emotions and social connections of nostalgic music. Additionally, some studies used scales to measure nostalgia. In future studies, it would be useful to consider the various elements and qualities of nostalgia rather than simply determining whether nostalgia occurs.
