Aside from my work, in my everyday private life, I'm not a very adventureous person. I don't look for change. |
I never had the chance to consider what or how I wanted to be. |
I get even more nervous singing when everyone's fallen silent, but I really try to communicate the meaning of the lyrics, and there's people there listening to that, and if they're moved by it, then I'm moved as well. |
I had no choice in the decision to make myself available. I was not always doing things I wanted to do. |
I think that ballads are always something where I can really become one with the audiance. |
Actually, recording the Suite Chic album was so much fun and while working on this new album, people that I've worked with from Suite Chic has lend their voice. |
Until now, I was insecure and I believed what the people around me said in regarding what I should sing. |
If I don't think about anything, and start with a clean slate, in terms of what I have to do, a lot of different ideas come up, and I can think about things more openly. |
If I can't get a mental image from the song, I won't sing it. |
Until now, I've not done a project where the produce, rapper and singer has never worked together like this before, and I had a chance to try a variety of styles. |
For the most part, I don't care about what everyone else is doing, or what is popular. |
My popularity plunged three years ago and I didn't try to court publicity. |
I think afterall, a promotion video is a piece of work in it's own right. |
During my grief, I realised there was nothing I could do for my mother, but I did have a child. |
When I was younger, there was a huge gap between what I wanted to do and what I could do as an idol. |
If I get to wrapped up in how I have to be, or what I have to do, things gradually get worse and worse. |
I came back to do a live concert. Nobody had done that before and I know my managers were worried. |
After I can be happy with knowing that I did what I wanted to do. |
Now, on nights that I can't sleep, I play video games alone until the morning. |
When I was snowed under with the work of an idol, I didn't have time to think. |
