Even my closest friend said I was finished, but I think I may be a little different from the others.
Even where friendship is concerned, it takes me a long time to trust people.
Simply, there are many things I would like to do.
If I can't get a mental image from the song, I won't sing it.
Now, on nights that I can't sleep, I play video games alone until the morning.
For the most part, I don't care about what everyone else is doing, or what is popular.
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.
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.
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.
In the beginning, I didnt dance that much and stuff.
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.
When I was snowed under with the work of an idol, I didnt have time to think.
