Quotes 

“I’m just excited to be with my fans in the season when it becomes warm after the winter. I felt so happy while preparing for the album, hoping that many people will be comforted through my music.”

“I tried writing lyrics for the first time by organising and refining what I wrote when I was young. I wanted to interpret the song in the way I felt about her deep sentiments and feelings. [Because] we know each other so well, we had fun communicating, which resulted in us making a good song.”

“I try not to forget the things that I used to like. When I think about the songs of the seniors who I’ve admired since young, and the happy feelings [I experience] when I sing, I gain the strength to start over.” 

“I want to be a person with a warm heart, who can embrace and sympathise with different stories around the world.”

“To some extent, everyone is bound to be trapped in a certain image or in the views of others. It’s fun to break the expectation that ‘this person will be like this.’”

“I’ve always been thinking about what I can do well and what I like. There was a moment when [my ideas] that were floating around became organized and the picture [of what I should do] was drawn. After that, the preparations [for my solo debut] were rather smooth.”

“I like to listen to other people’s opinions. This is because I learned a lot of new things about myself through various attempts and challenges after my debut. I want to be open to all opinions and possibilities.”
