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.
Even where friendship is concerned, it takes me a long time to trust people.
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.
I stopped caring what people thought.
