In 2008, I went to an electro rock party in Tokyo. And I thought I want to play at this party at that time. Because that party was so cool. I had never knew about electro music but I started to make a few demo songs and brought it to the organizer of the party.

Yes I thought that. I’m having confidence but it is not easy to keep on doing music. It is very very difficult. Usually it was not going well. So I was always falling down. But I’m always telling to myself “I can do it” ”I can make it” ”I’ll never give up”.
