I don't like going to the gym because I don't like being with people I don't know in that intense environment.
For me, it's an experiment to see what people are gonna think of it.
I've been missing Japanese literature so much of late.
No one told me I had to make something that would sell, but I personally want everyone to like my music.
For the version of this CD released in Japan, a translation of the English lyrics is included, but there are lots of places where meanings are lost in the process of translation.
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.
The thing is, in English I'm able to write the lyrics as I'm making the song, once I'm done with the melody.
I'm not like a gorgeous bombshell or anything like that.
But in Japanese, there's actually not much of a relationship between the music and the words.
I bought an espresso maker and coffee maker and make them myself every day.
In English, the sounds and melodies I created were an inspiration to me, and words came to me as I explored the sounds, and from there I was able expand on the meaning.
When people ask me exactly how much time I spend in each country, I always tell them I have no idea.
I squeeze oranges every morning to make juice.
The same parts of my brain get as excited as when I study bio or read a novel and write a paper on it.
I get strangely obsessed about the cleanliness of my house.
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.
There really aren't any completely Asian people singing right now.
I can never really enjoy being famous.
The world is in motion, as it seems.
Americans are somehow obsessed with her, and something about me hit a spot with people in Japan.
