I'm not like a gorgeous bombshell or anything like that.

And it was then that I realized wow, I'm able to write lyrics and sing and stuff like that.

I don't like going to the gym because I don't like being with people I don't know in that intense environment.

No one told me I had to make something that would sell, but I personally want everyone to like my music.

I do feel really determined, and that I have to pull myself together, but I don't really think like, my market has changed and my company has changed, and I'm going to make it BIG in America!

It's just that, when I'm in Japan I could foretell to a certain degree what would be accepted, so I certainly don't come up with any crazy arrangements.
