I feel responsible to make something original as a Japanese artist. There are lots of singers and guitarists, but I feel that on stage it's meaningless to copy something someone has done before.

I've realised how important having family is.

And a flower, doesn’t even know it’s own beauty it’s entire life. Sad, huh?

I know life is hard but we can always find hope in music and wash away our tears.

It feels like guitarists are samurais. You know, I’m playing a guitar, instead of a katana!

Then to deliver the message to the audience is our mission. I tried to imagine, if they killed my family, daughters, I would do anything to protect my family. It’s insane but that’s the situation everybody was in.

Being alone means there is no one else in this world.

I’m the one and only. In heaven and on Earth.

There’s no such thing as a meaningless, worthless, or stupid dream.

If dreaming is free, then making it come true is, too.
