Namie:
It's not like I sing rock as a musician, I can't measure what is the so-called "rock", but if it means a "violent spirit" or a "rebellious spirit", then I believe there's a "rock soul" inside me. Among the images, rules and categories, which one do I enter in?

I'm into it right now, but I don't want to be captured only by this feeling. I don't want to stay passive, I want to believe there are other possibilities.

.... That's probably a lot of greed. When I start wanting to do something, the words i hear the most are like "That's impossible" or "That's no good", I feel like doing those things with excellence to shut those words up. (Laughs) If someone say me "Today's live was the best!" I will still try to think that the next time I can do better. If someone says me that I keep on evolving, then maybe that's the reason. I'm not satisfied with myself from yesterday. I think that is this feeling that is moving me.

"The myself I see and the my self that people see are different." It is something that took me many years to understand. I started to be able to receive from the others. That's why I don't do any estimation of myself. After all, it's something that they are going to feel when they receive it from me. That's why even when it comes to the content of what I sing, I think simultaneously in what I want to sing and what people want to hear.

Now, I'm recording my next album little by little, and I'm planning to keep on thinking with much esteem in who will hear it. The contents? What I can say now is, if my previous work "Play" intended to show a image of a strong woman, the next one will be probably expressing the image of a woman who you can feel her weakness. Well, and about that question "Where is you goal?": I can't decide that. And I don't want to. Now I'm someone who will proceed to tomorrow with a smile even if rejected, I know since the old days that it's a way which I don't have to exert all my strength.

I think it will be good if I'll keep on going spontaneously, being myself. I really love doing lives. Releasing an album and doing the lives... That's the real happiness for me.

Grazie Tana! Bellissime parole *O*
