I get strangely obsessed about the cleanliness of my house.
The world is in motion, as it seems.
Since I was doing all of it myself, I had to decide where I wanted to go with the songs, how to proceed with the chords, if the sound was alright, and all that detail on my own.
I figure no matter how old you are, it's always going to be your first marriage and no life experience is going to make you a better judge of who you should marry.
People do ask me if I think I can make it in the States.
Wish I could prove I love you, but does that mean I have to walk on water?
I don't like going to the gym because I don't like being with people I don't know in that intense environment.
I do feel really determined, and that I have to pull myself together, but I don't really think like, my market has changed and my company has changed, and I'm going to make it BIG in America!
I bought an espresso maker and coffee maker and make them myself every day.
The Japanese version comes with a translation, but that's different from the lyrics, so people could look things up and find a translation of their own if they're interested.
Americans are somehow obsessed with her, and something about me hit a spot with people in Japan.
The same parts of my brain get as excited as when I study bio or read a novel and write a paper on it.
No one told me I had to make something that would sell, but I personally want everyone to like my music.
It's a fairly recent thing but I've become very fond of making drinks myself.
