Phew...
That's it for my post-bath solo practice session!
My head felt refreshed after a bath, so my fingers really got moving!
At the same time, I'll get all sweaty again if I start playing with everything I've got...
Still, what Shiho said today was so cool...
But what I saw that band do...
I thought it was the coolest thing in the world the way they pursued what they really loved.
And if somebody going through the same thing I did back then hears me play...
Maybe they'll realize that it's okay to be yourself and do what your heart says. I wanna put on those kinds of performances for them...
That's what I want my music to be about.
I'm so glad she found an answer to that question she's happy with.
I mean, that story!
I had no idea about any of that...
I knew she loved that band since she's recommended their stuff in the past... But she could've told us this story sooner!
(Still, what she said today.
It all made so much sense.)
(Pursuing what you really love. Yeah, that is pretty cool... And Shiho is clearly doing that.)
(And Ichi also got to say what she wants to accomplish with our music...)
(She wants to bring people together through music the way Miku does...)
(I really like that. It's so Ichi.)
(Hona still seemed unsure, but I know she'll find the answer she's looking for...!)
(I mean, she's the toughest one out of all of us! And we'll be there to help her if she thinks she needs it!)
As for me...
I tried writing a song that showed real empathy for someone who needed it. I wanted the listener to feel better after hearing it...
I want to create more music like that.
...
This is so strange...
I remember being in so much pain back then.
(I was all alone for so long. I spent every day wishing that I'd get better and be back with the others as soon as humanly possible.)
And yet...
(I was able to write a great song because of what I experienced. It's why I was able to get through to everyone else who was feeling lonely.)
(Because of the pain and loneliness I felt back then.
I was able to turn that into music...)
I never thought what I experienced all those years ago would come back around to help me someday...
Wait, that means... What I'm thinking and feeling now might help me in the future!
(All the stuff I've been thinking about and worrying over... I might be able to turn that into music for people to listen to someday...)
Alright...!
That means I need to make the absolute most of each day moving forward!
I'm gonna do my best with both our band and school! So that I can keep making amazing music!
