The beautiful thing about music is that even so-called negative emotions like anger, sadness, frustration, when they come through the filter of music, they all become beautiful.

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.

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

Challenges are the key in life. You always have to challenge yourself and try to get to different states.

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

Every day is different and improvised. Sometimes, a song can lead to a completely different adventure. You can't control it.
