This is an old entry, from almost 6 years ago, so I believe some of this might have changed somehow. But it's always good to know about such thing, especially because I love him as a song writer....

久しぶりな気がする。。。
I feel it's been a while...
ワンマンライブ来てくれた人、遠くより応援してくれた人ありがとう!
次へと繋がる楽しい夜を過ごせたよ!
そしてそんなライブを終え、最近は何をしてるかといえば
夜な夜な新曲を作っています。
ワンマンライブ、demonstration CDとひとつの節目が付いたので
新たな挑戦を試みてる最中。
To those who came to the one-man live, as well as those who supported from afar, thank you very much!
It can surpass the next fun night!
And then, after the live finished, talking about what I do recently
I'm writing new songs from night to night.
Because the one-man live and the Demonstration CD are all a turning point,
we're in the middle of a new challenge of experiment.
僕の曲作りの仕方は一ヶ月間ぐらいダーっと集中して何十曲も完成、未完成関わらず書く。
そしてその中から「これだ!」という曲を選りすぐっていくんだけど、それがある程度出来るとエネルギーがなくなって1.2ヶ月冬眠に入ってしまう。
そしてエネルギーを吸収するまで眠って溜まると曲作り期間が始まる。
いつでもそれの繰り返し。
そして今はワンマンとかでいろんなことを吸収して曲に
作り替える期間で新曲のかけらが少しずつ生まれて来てる状態。
今回はどんな曲が出来るか自分でも楽しみ。
それに吸収したエネルギーは曲だけでなく、シアターやHPやデザインにも変換されてゆく。
そのすべてに見てくれる人、聴いてくれる人がいるのはすごく幸せなことだと
つくづく感じてしまう。
その幸福感が受け取ってくれる人にも同じであれば
最高!だと思う。
My method of songwriting is about one month of full concentration to have about 10 in completion, regardless the number of those unfinished.
And then from among these pieces of music, there are compositions that makes me choose as the best, like, "this one!" but having to be able to do to that extend makes me lose energy and made me hibernate from writing for about 1-2 months.
It's always that kind of cycle.
Now into a song that absorbs a lot of things, for example in the one-man live
while remaking those songs, by piecing together the new pieces, a new song is slowly born.
Now I'm anticipating what kind of composition would come out.
Moreover, the absorbed energy doesn't turn only into a composition, but also continues to change into the (moonside) theater, HP (homepage), as well as design.
That there are people who see and hear all of those is happiness to me
I feel it thoroughly.
If there are people who are getting that kind of happiness,
then I feel like, it's great
音楽だけに限らず
すべての人が他の人と繋がるものを作ったり
利用したりする。
街の看板、レストランのレジ打ち、工場で出来たネジ、
誰かに書いた手紙、パソコンで書き込むコトバ。。。
色々なことが世界で日本で周りで起きるけど
自分達の手が生み出すものは幸せへ繋がるものでありたいね。
As expected from a song, it's confining
making all human tied together to other people
a blessing of use.
Street sign, hitting the restaurant cash register, neji made in factories,
letters written to someone, words posted in a computer...
a lot of things in this world, in Japan, in our surrounding rise
What our hands creates, I want it to be tied together towards happiness
さあ今夜も「最高の瞬間」を目指して
曲作りだ!
Well, this evening too, I'm aiming to that "supreme moment"
song writing!
