I know life is hard but we can always find hope in music and wash away our tears
I feel responsible to make something original as a Japanese artist. There are lots of singers and guitarists, but I feel that on stage its meaningless to copy something someone has done before.
Being alone means there is no one else in this world
If you lost your way, just ask somebody. If you lost your dream, just close your eyes again. And some day you will blossom, with your hands wide spread to the sun.
Sometimes life becomes a bit difficult. There are hard times and even some little things can mess up your life. Make the best out of these moments. Don’t forget to smile. You can cry as loud as you want, but smile. Just stand up and go on. You can do everything you want.
And a flower, doesn't even know it's own beauty it's entire life. Sad, huh?
If dreaming is free, then making it come true is, too.
It's really important to create something, like with my creations as a musician. Just let it flow. Focus on how to deliver message to audience. Don't get ego.
There's nothing that everyone likes in the world. People have different opinions. It's just the way of living. I know that there will be differences.
I really wanted to speak English because I started touring the world, and I wanted to communicate with people directly.
