I've been missing Japanese literature so much of late.

When people ask me exactly how much time I spend in each country, I always tell them I have no idea.

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.

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

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.

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!
