My goal now is not only to chase my own dreams but to help inspire others who might have been told they couldn’t do something. I want to be a part of their story—just like the ones who inspired me to keep going despite everything. That’s why, in a way, my new goals have shifted from just personal accomplishments to something much bigger—maybe even changing someone else’s life in the process. —— mayu
NEMOPHILA is a band that has continuously faced and overcome a series of challenges, each strengthening their resolve and determination. From teachers who told them to give up on their dreams to the complexities of balancing motherhood, the band has encountered obstacles that would deter many others. Additionally, the unexpected departure of a member could have been a setback, but NEMOPHILA’s positive mindset and unwavering passion allowed them to move forward with even greater resilience. Their fourth album, Apple of my eye, stands as the ultimate proof to their perseverance. It reflects not just their musical evolution and dedication, but also their growth as individuals and as a band. The album encapsulates their relentless pursuit of their dreams, despite the many barriers they’ve had to face along the way. With their strong determination, NEMOPHILA continues to push through. Today, we are excited to share an exclusive interview with the 4 women, where they open up about their new album Apple of my eye, the band as a four unit and the challenges they’ve faced.
——Congratulations on the release of Apple of my eye! The title feels deeply personal, what does it mean to you?
Hazuki: The phrase Apple of my eye literally translates to an apple in the eye in English, but I learned that it’s actually an expression used to describe something so precious that even if it were in your eye, it wouldn’t hurt. With that meaning in mind, I chose this title, hoping the album would become something truly special to everyone.
mayu: When it was time to decide on the title, Hazuki suggested, Apple of my eye? and as soon as she said it, everyone agreed—it just felt right. The phrase Apple of My Eye expresses something or someone incredibly precious, and when I thought about it, I realized that our songs are exactly that to us. Each track on this album holds so much meaning, and we poured our hearts into them. Even the way the words look when written out is beautiful, and it has such a warm, sentimental feel to it. It’s a title that’s both cute and deeply meaningful, so we all knew it was the perfect choice.
——It’s a great title!
How would you describe the evolution of your sound on this album compared to your previous works?
Tamu: First of all, the fact that we created the demos ourselves is a huge change compared to our past albums. In previous works, we relied more on outside producers for that part, but this time, we took a much more hands-on approach in shaping the sound from the very beginning. Because of this, I think the overall sound has become more personal and reflective of each member’s individual style and ideas. We were able to experiment more freely, and I think that really allowed each of our unique voices and influences to come through. It feels more like our own, and there’s a lot more of our personalities woven into the music than ever before.
mayu: Originally, in the past, when we made albums, we would work with a sound producer who was part of our team, and we would all create things together. But this time, the approach was very different. Each of the members came up with their own ideas and concepts, so the foundation of the album—the part where we created the demos—was something that we developed ourselves from scratch. For example, Hazuki loves metal and melodic death metal, while I’m really into American rock. We each have different musical roots, and those differences came through strongly when we were putting the demos together. By the time we had our demos ready, you could already hear each member’s personal style and what they wanted to bring to the table. It was diverse right from the start. Then, we added each of our unique touches to transform it into a NEMOPHILA song. That’s why I’d say there are no impurities in it—everything is pure and directly from us, without outside influences. It’s a sound that truly represents our individuality, and that’s what made it so special. It’s the kind of music that reflects who we really are as a band. I think we just wanted to do it that way this time around.
——What are your music styles, Haraguchi-san and Tamu?
Haraguchi-san: Hmm…
Tamu: She loves psych rock.
Haraguchi-san: Yes (laughs)! Recently, I’ve been exploring a bit of other styles, but I’m still strongly influenced by psych rock. That’s why I incorporate a lot of psychedelic elements into my music.
Tamu: As for me…
Haraguchi-san: She loves classical music.
Tamu: Exactly (laughs).
——Were there any tracks that stood out as especially challenging or rewarding to create?
mayu: Well, since we’re really passionate about every song, each one holds a unique meaning for us. But if I had to choose one that stands out, it would be Just Do It! It’s a song we really poured ourselves into.
Tamu: Just Do It !was the track where we all contributed the most ideas. We decided early on that we wanted it to be the lead single for the album and even thought about making it the focus for the music video. So, with that in mind, we approached it with a very clear vision. It’s a perfect blend of everyone’s individual styles, but also has that distinct NEMOPHILA’s vibe—heavy and intense, yet still bright and uplifting in terms of sound. We all came together and agreed on making it a song that reflects both our energy and positivity. We really put a lot of thought into it, and that’s why it’s such a meaningful track for all of us. The entire process of creating it was incredibly rewarding, and the memories we’ve made around it are something we’ll cherish.
Hazuki: As for the most difficult song… Well, I think it’s different for each of us. It could be a different song for everyone. It was tough, but I wouldn’t say it was the most difficult. Hmm, I’m not sure which one was the hardest for me… Go ahead and tell yours first.
mayu: For me, Burn It was definitely the hardest. The challenge was in the English pronunciation. The producer was really strict about it, and if my pronunciation wasn’t spot on, he wouldn’t let me move forward. I remember spending more than two hours just trying to get one word right—like the pronunciation of punished or burn. It felt like I was stuck in a loop, even when I thought I finally got it. The producer, although Japanese, speaks fluent American-English, so he could tell when something wasn’t quite right. It was really difficult, and it felt frustrating at times. I had to keep repeating lines, trying different approaches until it matched his expectations. It was a tough experience, and I struggled a lot, but in the end, I think I learned a lot from it. That song was definitely the hardest for me to record.
Haraguchi-san: For me, the most challenging track was Just Do It! It’s not difficult in terms of complexity, but it’s incredibly fast. I mean, the tempo is just intense. The kind of energy and speed you need for that song is really demanding, and it felt like a full-on metal workout. It’s almost like building muscle specifically for metal music—getting your body and mind into the rhythm of it. I had to condition myself for that speed and power, so a lot of it was about preparation and making sure I could handle that level of intensity. Once I got into that mindset, it became a bit easier, but it was still tough to keep up with that pace throughout the entire song.
Tamu: For me, AKAKAGACHI was definitely the hardest. The main challenge was that we didn’t have the final version of the track until literally the day I was supposed to record the drums. The arrangement wasn’t fully fixed, so I went into the studio without a clear picture of what the final song would sound like. It was almost like playing catch-up. I had to write out the drum sheet music on the spot, figuring out my parts as I went. I didn’t even have the final tempo or structure locked down, and I had to adapt quickly. That kind of uncertainty made it really tough to get into the groove. Normally, I would have more time to rehearse or get familiar with the track before recording, but in this case, I had to do it all at once. That was stressful, and it definitely made AKAKAGACHI the hardest song for me to record.
Hazuki: Honestly, Just Do It! was a big challenge for me too. It wasn’t just a matter of repeating the same guitar parts over and over—it required a lot of variation, which made it tricky. So, I had to prepare in advance. I spent time writing out the guitar sheet music before even entering the studio, just to make sure I could nail everything. The solo, in particular, was really tough for me. I struggled a lot with it. I kept overthinking the whole thing, trying to figure out exactly what kind of sound I wanted. The more I thought about it, the more stuck I became, and I started to question whether I was even on the right track. I kept asking myself, ‘What’s the best approach for this solo? What will sound the most powerful?’ There were moments when I felt like I couldn’t get it right, and it was frustrating. I ended up recording the solo over and over again, trying to find that perfect feel and sound. It wasn’t easy, and there were a lot of moments where I felt unsure, but in the end, I think I finally found a version I was happy with.
——After the departure of a band member last year, how did it feel to create this album as a smaller group? Did the dynamic shift lead to new creative approaches?
Hazuki: Yeah, losing one guitarist definitely changed the dynamic a bit. Before, we had two guitarists, so one would handle a solo here, and the other would take over for a solo there, which helped create a certain balance and depth in our sound. But now with just one guitarist, things feel a little different. When we started thinking about how we would perform live, I did wonder how the solos would work out. I thought they might have to be a bit shorter since there’s only one person playing them, but honestly, even if the solos are shorter, the songs still feel complete. They’re still powerful and work well in the context of the performance. What hasn’t changed is our vision and what we want to achieve as a band. Our drive and the sound we’re aiming for are exactly the same. So, despite the change, I still feel like we’re moving forward as we always have—it’s just a bit more streamlined now.
Tamu: Rather than focusing on how to recreate our past songs as a four-piece, we felt that it made more sense to take a fresh approach and create something entirely new. By doing that, we were able to shape the music in a way that felt natural and authentic to us as we are now. It gave us more freedom to explore our sound and figure out what works best with just the four of us. Instead of feeling restricted, it actually felt really exciting—we were able to experiment, push ourselves, and enjoy the process of crafting songs that truly represent this new chapter of NEMOPHILA.
mayu: The sense of responsibility I feel now is completely different from before. When we were a five-member band, the goal was to come together and shape NEMOPHILA as a unit, making sure that we blended our individual styles into a cohesive sound. But now, with four members, I feel like our dynamic has shifted. Instead of trying to mold ourselves into one unified entity, each of us is bringing our own unique strengths and musical identity to the table, and those elements naturally come together to form NEMOPHILA. It’s less about ‘all of us becoming NEMOPHILA and more about each of us being NEMOPHILA in our own right. I think that change in perspective has allowed us to grow individually while also strengthening our bond as a band. It’s a different approach, but one that has made us even more confident in our music and who we are.
——Are there any core aspects of your identity as a band that you’ve held onto since day one, despite all the growth and changes over the years?
mayu: The core positivity we’ve always maintained. From the beginning, our thoughts, what we express through our music, and even the lyrics have all been about sending out positive energy. We’ve always wanted to give people something uplifting, something that resonates with hope and strength. I think that’s the key part of what makes our music us—it’s about focusing on the positive, no matter the challenges we face. Even if our sound or the style evolves over time, the core of it has always been to share a message that encourages people, that lifts them up, and makes them feel like they’re not alone. That hasn’t changed from the start, and I believe it never will. It’s not just about the words we say but about the overall vibe we aim to create in our music. Even when we’re tackling tough or heavy topics, we try to approach them from a place of hope and resilience. We want our listeners to feel empowered after hearing our songs, so that’s always been a big part of our mindset and will continue to be in everything we do.
——You mentioned that the recording process was particularly exhausting this time. Can you share more about the challenges you faced?
Hazuki: Yeah, it was quite different this time around. In the past, we often relied on others to help with the production, but this time, we really took control of the creative process. We focused on the raw material that each of us created. Each member brought their own original demos, and we worked together with the producer to bring those ideas to life. It really felt like a test of our own abilities. It was up to us to shape the sound, and I have to admit, it pushed me to grow in ways I hadn’t expected. It wasn’t just about playing and recording; it was about taking responsibility for the final product, and I think that made the process more fulfilling but also more challenging.
Haraguchi-san: With the change to four members, it felt like we were entering a new era for NEMOPHILA. There was this sense of starting a second chapter, and I think that really changed how we approached everything. We made the decision to move forward as a four-member band, and that decision really made us think differently about the sound we wanted to create. There was a kind of resolve in that. We wanted to reflect the change in our identity, and for me, it was important to show through the music that NEMOPHILA was evolving. We’re still NEMOPHILA, but we’ve changed and we wanted that to be evident in the music. One of the big challenges was creating a sound that felt both true to who we are and also more intense, more core. We wanted to make sure that, even as we explored heavier sounds, we stayed connected to the NEMOPHILA essence. It wasn’t easy figuring out how to blend the two: keeping our signature style while incorporating a more aggressive, metal sound. That balancing act was something we struggled with, but it was a challenge I think we all took on with a lot of energy. There was a lot of back-and-forth, a lot of refining, especially in making sure we could communicate that evolution to our fans while still keeping the songs engaging and meaningful.
Hazuki: Personally, I don’t think I’ve grown much as a person, but when it comes to my role as a guitarist, I’ve definitely put a lot of thought and effort into my performance during the recording process. I always focus on being the best guitarist I can be. However, as a band, there was a time when I wasn’t sure what the right direction was, especially during the creation of this album. It was a period of uncertainty and confusion. We were working with new challenges, figuring out how to evolve and what kind of sound we wanted to create. During that time, I wasn’t entirely sure about the outcome. But when the album was finally completed, I felt a real sense of achievement. It was like everything came together, and I could feel that NEMOPHILA, as a band, had really grown as a whole. The sound, the energy—it all felt like a natural progression and a reflection of how far we’ve come. That sense of growth became clear to me once the album was finished, and it made all the struggles worth it.
Tamu: Yeah, it was a mix of both challenges and growth for me. One of the things I’ve definitely improved in is my ability to work with music production software, especially with programming. As a drummer, I’ve always been focused on rhythm and percussion, and I don’t have a strong background in melody or playing other instruments like bass or guitar. I used to struggle with understanding how melodies fit or how to arrange them. But this time, I spent a lot of time working on DTM (desktop music production) and learned how to use it effectively to contribute to the sound we wanted to create. It was a challenge, but it pushed me to improve my technical skills, and I can definitely say I’ve leveled up in that area. I’m now able to contribute in a way I couldn’t have before, and it feels good to be able to support the music in a new way.
mayu: I feel like I’ve grown in many ways, but more than anything, I think what has developed the most is my depth as a person. Singing itself is something anyone can do, but the ability to refine one’s sensibility, to truly express emotions in a way that resonates with others, is something deeply personal. It’s not just about technique—it’s about understanding emotions on a deeper level and being able to translate them into music. To really convey the emotions behind a song, sometimes you need to have personally experienced those feelings, whether it’s sadness, pain, joy, or hope. It’s not always easy, but through those experiences, I’ve been able to grow emotionally, and that growth has directly influenced my music. As I was working on this album, I realized how much my own emotional journey shaped the way I wrote lyrics and delivered each song. The nuances in my singing, the way I chose certain words—all of that was affected by the things I’ve felt and lived through. Looking back, I think this album could only have been made because of everything I went through, all the emotions I processed. That’s why, more than just technical growth, I feel like my biggest development has been as a person. That inner growth has shaped my music in a way that feels more authentic and real than ever before.
——How did you manage to maintain team spirit and motivation through such an intense process?
mayu: I think what kept our sense of unity strong was performing live. While creating music and working on our projects, we always had live shows in between. And during those live performances, we relied on each other—it wasn’t just about playing music individually, but about trusting and supporting one another to make the performance complete. There were times when I had small doubts or uncertainties, but once I got on stage and experienced that energy with the band, those doubts would fade away. The act of performing together, feeling that connection, and sharing the moment with both the band and the audience—that became the motivation to keep going. Looking back, I think live performances were what continuously brought us back together and kept our spirits high.
——Motherhood is rarely discussed in the rock scene. How has becoming mothers influenced the lyrics or themes on Apple of my eye?
mayu: Becoming a mother has had a huge impact on my lyrics. Before, I could only see things from my own perspective, but now, when I try to see the world through my child’s eyes, everything looks completely different. Things that I once took for granted are completely new experiences for him. For example, something ordinary to me might be his very first encounter with it, and seeing his reactions—his amazement, excitement, and sense of wonder—makes me realize just how special those moments are. It’s given me a deeper appreciation for the little things in life. That perspective shift has influenced not just my lyrics but also my overall human experience, my way of thinking, and my emotions. So, I definitely feel that becoming a mother has brought significant change to my creative expression.
Tamu: Well, after becoming a mother, a lot of things in my life changed. I no longer had time for myself, and I found that I became more of “someone’s mother” rather than just focusing on being me. It’s easy to lose yourself in those roles, and I did feel like a lot of my identity shifted. But even with all the changes, being in the band has given me a sense of balance. It’s become a space where I can still express myself creatively, and it’s had a really positive influence on me, both personally and artistically. Being able to work on music and still be part of the band, even with the responsibilities of motherhood, has helped me find that equilibrium. In terms of creativity, I’ve noticed a big shift. It’s like my experience as a mother has become integrated into my music. I feel it in my beats, and I can tell that it’s affecting the way I write songs and lyrics. There’s a different energy now, influenced by the way I see the world through the eyes of a mother. It’s like my perspective has broadened, and I’m able to put more of my emotions and experiences into the music. So, while my life has changed in many ways, I feel like it has made my creativity stronger, and I can see it reflected in my work.
mayu: I can’t really let him listen to our music too much, but there was one moment that made me really happy. When I was working on the lyrics for ‘Just Do It,’ I kept singing this one phrase over and over while creating the song. It seems like he was listening to me without me knowing. Even before the song was officially released to the public, I found out that he had been singing it. At first, I was so surprised, like, ‘How do you know this? Did you hear it somewhere?’ But then, it made me really happy. It was a small moment, but it felt special. As for the impact of being a mother on the music production, one major change was that we had to start working earlier in the day. As musicians, we’re used to working late into the night, but since I had to be up early to take care of things at home, everyone else started adjusting to my schedule. Slowly, we began to shift our whole routine to be more morning-oriented. It was an interesting change, but one that made us all more productive and it brought a new energy to our work. This change in schedule and routine, it really affected how we approached our music and even the atmosphere in the studio. I think it’s one of the many ways my role as a mother influenced the process in a positive way. It was a bit challenging at first, but ultimately, it helped us all work in a new and more balanced way.
Hazuki: Since they became mothers, NEMOPHILA’s schedule has changed. We used to work late into the night, but now we’re starting to adjust to a more morning-oriented schedule.
Haraguchi-san: Exactly. Everyone’s been adapting to that shift, and it’s made a big difference in how we work together as a team.
——What’s the biggest lesson you’ve learned about balancing motherhood with the demands of being in a rock band?
mayu: I’m not sure if it’s exactly a lesson, but when you have a child, you can’t afford to act weak or embarrassing. You don’t want to do anything that looks uncool. So, the awareness of wanting to stay cool really grew strong for me. Every day, every second, no matter what I do, I always want to be cool. Since becoming a parent, a lot of things have changed, and that awareness has deepened.
Tamu: I think one of the biggest changes for me is that I’ve reached a point where I can think, ‘It’s fine,’ about certain things. It’s not that I’m giving up or not caring, but rather that I’m learning to accept things more easily. This shift has been really impactful, not just in the band but in other areas of my life too. There was a time when I used to stress over every little thing, trying to control everything and make it perfect. But now, I realize that not everything has to be perfect or go exactly as planned, and sometimes it’s okay to just go with the flow. Being able to let go and say, ‘It’s fine,’ has really made a difference in how I approach challenges, and it’s helped me stay more balanced. I think this mindset has allowed me to be more creative and less anxious, and it’s something I’m constantly learning to embrace.
Now that you’ve achieved incredible milestones like performing at Nippon Budokan, what’s the next big dream for NEMOPHILA?
mayu: After achieving the incredible milestone of performing at the Budokan, I feel like it’s time to set a new, even bigger goal for the band. This time, I want us to reach that stage with just the four of us, relying solely on our own strength and determination. It’s important for us to prove that we can do it as a tighter, more united group, without any external support. It’s not just about the venue; it’s about showing our growth and resilience as a band. This will be our next challenge, and I’m excited to keep pushing forward towards it. I believe that by aiming for this goal, we’ll grow even stronger and continue to create music that truly represents us.
——During your Budokan performance, mayu, you mentioned a teacher who discouraged you from pursuing music. Looking back, how did that experience shape your determination?
mayu: I came from a place where people doubted my path, where music wasn’t seen as a legitimate career by many, especially in a sports-focused school. The mindset I grew up with was so limiting, and at times it felt like I was living in opposition to the very world I was in. The contradiction between the world of sports and the world of music always stuck with me. There were those who tried to impose their views on me, saying that pursuing music was a waste or something frivolous, but all along, I held onto the belief that I could do more. I wasn’t one of those people who would boast or speak too proudly without backing it up. Instead, I chose to focus on my work. Gradually, I started to see results. People started recognizing my music, and the feedback I received from people all over the world—especially online—was a turning point. It was overwhelming and humbling to see how my music could transcend borders and cultures. And then, when I stood at the Budokan, I realized that this was not just about me. It was about all the times I’d overcome the doubters and those who underestimated me. That feeling when I stood on the stage was one of validation, but it wasn’t just for me—it was for everyone who ever told me no, or who didn’t believe that what I was doing had value. That moment felt like it wasn’t just my achievement, but a collective one. It wasn’t just about proving something to others. I began to see it as an opportunity to be a role model. My goal now is not only to chase my own dreams but to help inspire others who might have been told they couldn’t do something. I want to be a part of their story—just like the ones who inspired me to keep going despite everything. That’s why, in a way, my new goals have shifted from just personal accomplishments to something much bigger—maybe even changing someone else’s life in the process. And yes, surpassing those teachers—well, it’s not just a matter of proving I could do it. It’s realizing that the very constraints they put on me only fueled my determination to go further, to keep pushing beyond what was expected. That’s what keeps me moving forward now.
——Being in a sports-oriented school—has that had any impact on you?
mayu: When we were really little, there were still a lot of old-fashioned teachers with that strict mindset. But I think around the time we were students, things started to change little by little. For example, we were finally allowed to drink water freely. It might sound surprising, but when we were in elementary school, we weren’t even allowed to drink water during P.E. class until it was over. Looking back, it was pretty harsh, but at the time, it was just considered normal.
Haraguchi-san: That might depend on the region, but yeah, my school was super strict. My high school club advisor was incredibly tough—one of those teachers who believed in old-school discipline. Even during summer break, when we had club activities in the middle of a scorching hot day, we weren’t allowed to open windows or drink water. We would have to repeat the same drills over and over for an hour straight, no matter how exhausted we were. And if we were late, we had to run for however many minutes we were late. If someone messed up or if the coach felt like we needed more “motivation,” they would actually slap us. That was just part of our daily routine. Of course, at the time, we didn’t really question it—it was just how things were. That kind of strict training environment was normal for us, but I know it would be considered extreme by today’s standards. Still, in some ways, I think that experience made me stronger. Going through that level of discipline forces you to build resilience. There’s a part of me that feels like I wouldn’t be who I am today without those experiences, even though I don’t necessarily think that kind of strictness is always the best approach.
mayu: That kind of strict discipline might be something unique to Japan. There’s a certain mindset here where enduring hardship is seen as valuable, and that kind of thinking was especially strong in the past.
Hazuki: Even in Japan, though, that level of strictness isn’t exactly normal. It’s on the extreme side. There were other harsh rules in school, like with school lunches. If you couldn’t finish your food during lunch, you had to keep eating it during class time until you finished everything. Some kids would end up crying while eating because they were forced to finish their meals. That kind of thing also depended on the school and the region, though. Some places were more lenient, while others had really rigid rules about everything. It’s interesting to see how different upbringings shape people in different ways.
——Last question, on a fun note: What do you like best about the person seated next to you, whether it’s something professional or personal?
Hazuki: The thing I love most about mayu-chan is that she’s the brightest person in the world. She has such a unique charm, and her positivity lifts the spirits of everyone around her. No matter what’s going on, she has this energy that makes the atmosphere lighter, and just being near her makes people feel better. It’s not just about being cheerful—she has this genuine warmth that draws people in. She can turn even a tough situation into something more manageable just by being herself. I really admire that about her.
mayu: Thank you… that’s embarrassing! As for Haraguchi-chan, what I love most is how grounded and dependable she is. She has this quiet strength, and when I start to feel uncertain or think something might be too difficult, she’s always there to give me a push in the right direction. She has this strong Yamato-damashii—that unwavering sense of perseverance, responsibility, and inner strength that’s often associated with the traditional Japanese spirit. It’s not about being forceful or overbearing; it’s more like she carries this deep resilience and pride in what she does. When I waver or hesitate, she doesn’t let me dwell on it. Instead, she reminds me of my own strength and pushes me forward in a way that feels both firm and kind. On the outside, she’s really mild-mannered, but she has a way of gently but firmly keeping me on track. If I say, “Maybe this is the right way,” she’ll honestly tell me, “No, I don’t think so.” She’s like a guiding presence for me—someone I can always rely on, no matter what.
Haraguchi-san: What I love about Tamu-san is how incredibly unique she is—like she’s made up entirely of her own identity, but at the same time, she’s full of warmth. She has this distinctive kindness that surrounds her, and no matter what I talk to her about, she always listens sincerely. She doesn’t just nod along—she really takes in what you’re saying and gives thoughtful responses. That’s something I really respect about her. Even if we have completely different perspectives on something, she never dismisses anyone’s feelings. It’s like she has this open-minded curiosity about the world and about people, which makes her such an interesting person to be around. I really love and respect that about her.
Tamu: Hazuki-san… well, this is a bit weird to say, but sometimes I honestly don’t understand what she’s talking about. She has this way of saying things that can feel totally unexpected, like she’s on her own wavelength, and I just have to stop and process it for a second. But at her core, she’s truly a good person. I know for a fact that she never speaks or acts with any ill intent, and that’s something really comforting to watch. She also has this effortless charm about her—like, she’s just being herself, and yet people are naturally drawn to her. I think part of that is because she has this mysterious, almost enigmatic aura. You never really know what she’s thinking, but at the same time, there’s something really soothing about her presence. Even if I don’t always understand where she’s coming from, I know that everything she says comes from a pure and genuine place, and that’s what makes her so special.
——Thank you all for this interview. Congratulations on the release of your 4th album. I hope it will take you to the Bukodan and beyond the Japanese borders.
All: Thank you
