I'm always hungry to learn. I always look for something that I can study.

Music taught me how to always be patient and focused, and to train the little concentration in myself.

It was in Shizuoka, where my home was. I first attended this school when I was five years old. I also attended a regular elementary school, and I was taking piano lessons with a local teacher. I began to study composition at the Yamaha school. And I continued to study there until the age of 15.

Whenever I do a performance I always hope it is the best day of my life. Sometimes it happens and sometimes it doesn't.
