Sayashi's way - a moment of inspiration...
In a society where we are bombarded with information, and have to make choices, I think it's really wonderful to be able to devote yourself to one thing. There is so much information out there that we tend to become desensitized to it. That's why I consciously make an effort to focus on one thing at a time. I'm not a particularly active person in the first place, or the kind of person that will immerse herself into any kind of pop culture.
I can enjoy everything in a "reasonable" way. So, even if I encounter a well known piece of work, it is unlikely that I will feel very strongly about it. Even when I find something I like, I may not be able to learn enough about it to describe it to others from top to bottom. This makes me think sometimes that maybe I am a "cold", and emotionless person. On the other hand, I am very passionate about performing, and it comes to me naturally. Whether it's music, or acting, my mind operates differently when I am personally involved.
I finally made my debut on day 384!
(3=the 3rd year of the Reiwa era which began in 2019 when the current emperor of Japan ascended the throne, 8=August, 4=4th day of the month)
I am grateful to be releasing an EP (mini album) for the first time in August. I was also very involved in the production, which is something I had never done before, and while being involved, there were times when I felt very excited about this work.
I worked with specialists in their field, lyricists, composers, and sound engineers, and I left a lot of the work to them (although I was always there to learn as much as possible). I received a lot of help and advice. It was really great to share my passion for music with everyone who worked on this project with me.
The last step to complete the song is called mastering, and I remember how we exchanged opinions and learned from each other while discussing the details of the mastering process. It was a very memorable experience.
Our "passions" make our lives better
It's difficult to fully explain what I mean by that, but I'm happy to work with people who are passionate about what they do. Watching them work puts pressure on me too, in a good way. As I looked at them, I thought, I shouldn't be wasting their time, and I enjoyed that pressure. I realized that my personality is suited to be in such a situation.
At the same time, there are people, fans and the audience in general, who will look at the work from a different angle, and some who are passionate enough to take what I deliver and savor it more deeply, whether it's lyrics or music. I don't know if I should be thankful for that, but as a person who wants to be appreciative, and also wants to transmit certain things with my work, I can feel how precious it is to share my passion, and, in a way, interact with the people that will receive it. Thank you all for your support. That's my message.
