Even where friendship is concerned, it takes me a long time to trust people.
I wish I could balance life as an artist and a mother, but sometimes when I am doing live concerts, I have to ask people to help me in my other role.
In the beginning, I didnt dance that much and stuff.
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.
Even my closest friend said I was finished, but I think I may be a little different from the others.
People around me called me an idol, so that’s what I was.
Until now, I was insecure and I believed what the people around me said in regarding what I should sing.
My popularity plunged three years ago and I didn’t try to court publicity.
I think that ballads are always something where I can really become one with the audiance.
I think afterall, a promotion video is a piece of work in it’s own right.
I’m not completely at ease at rapping, I can’t do it well yet.
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 get to wrapped up in how I have to be, or what I have to do, things gradually get worse and worse.
