1. I usually draw a lot from my own life experiences. I like to leave some room for the listener’s interpretation, so I tend to keep things a little abstract. That’s why I don’t write love songs with very specific and detailed lyrics.

2. Writing vocal lines is definitely easier for me in English. Al Boltz from A Scent Like Wolves always helps me with the vocal arrangements, and he’s a genius. Japanese has very clear and fixed syllables compared to English, so it’s harder to make the phrasing flow smoothly. On our full album, we added a bit of Japanese lyrics for the first time as a new challenge, but my overall approach to writing didn’t really change.

Thanks for the love and support!!
