〜につけ〜につけ

接続:V辞書/N+につけ
Every time A or B the same feeling arises
注意 / Note:Different from the above two models: the two sides are NOT opposites but two different occasions, and the latter is always EMOTION that naturally arises, not action. Very few words: 見る・聞く・うれしい・悲しい.
比較 / Compare:Same song: 〜やら〜やら/〜にしろ〜にしろ. These models are often mistakenly chosen for each other — carefully read the 接続 and nuances above and then decide.
よく出る形 / Common form:動辞書形・イ形+につけ(+…につけ)。The latter is 思い出す・懐かしい・心配になる — feelings, not deeds.
うれしいにつけ悲しいにつけ、家族を思い出す。
Whether happy or sad, I miss my family.
この写真を見るにつけ、故郷が懐かしい。
Every time I see this photo I miss my hometown.
この曲を聞くにつけ、学生時代を思い出す。
Every time I listen to this song, I remember my student days.
