Is there any difference between 思い出 and 記憶?

There's a usage note on 記憶 that compares the two, although I feel like it's mixing up 思い出 and 思い出す a bit.


I'll give you quote from a post on JLSE:

" is a neutral term for memory. It can be of any while ago, from sub-mili-seconds or shorter to milleniums or longer. It can be used for physical effects like hysteresis effects or memory on an electronic device. It can be used for humans as well.

is subjective. It implies nostalgia, good memories or bad memories. The past it is referring to is usually between a few days to a lifespan of time ago. The subject of it is usually humans"


I think that's where the note comes from, they just messed up when copying it: https://japanese.stackexchange...

It's not the best explanation imo, but if you take a look at a few examples, I think the difference becomes quite clear:


✅ そのは、よいになった。

❌ そのは、よいになった。


で、った。

で、った。


PS: I think the noun 思い gives you a lot of hints to the nuance/meaning of . Anyway, the two feel very different to me. As much as "a recollection" and "a fond memory". Same general domain, very different nuance.
