‘Lies’ that we released in 2007 was very well received and so did ‘Haru Haru’ in the following year. However, after that, we were accused that we have plagiarized the song of Free Tempo, a Japanese singer. Even the singer himself had to stand out for us to acknowledge that we had not copied his song. Although the issue was settled afterwards, I was still so confused about what I was doing at that time.

At that time, one sentence popped up in my mind, that is,

‘Too young to live, to fast to die.’ (This is the sentence said by Sex Pistols when a member was trying to take up the role of the legendary bassist Sid Vicous in the movie)

People can have many different interpretations of this sentence but for me, it means,

‘no matter how many hardships I have to overcome, it is just too early for me to give up at this moment.’ I think this is the right attitude that I should adopt at that time since I had to deal with so many difficulties.

I usually think a lot when I am preparing an album. After thinking about the meaning of my life for so many times, I decided to make a tattoo of ‘Vita Dolce’ on my right shoulder. Originally it should be ‘Dolce Vita’ which means ’ whenever and whatever, I have to lead a happy life’ but I change it to ‘Vita Dolce’ which means ‘a blissful life’. And for my left should, I have tattooed ‘Moderato’ since I have to remind my self not to run too fast in my life since I also have to watch my sideways with a not-too-fast pace.
