He just says, `Do what you want to do, That's Mr. Mashimo's way. He always says that, so I do what I want! I enjoyed this work very much. Noir and Dothack were so fun for me. I didn't recognize them as soundtracks, I simply made music.
I don't know how the story goes. I don't know if she will live or die, When I look at the pictures, I don't know what she's going to do. When I write lyrics, I don't know what the characters will do, so what shall I write? I'm always confused. (she reveals the process of her composing)
At first, I disliked playing piano for him," "I was an only child, so I wanted to go out and play. But he made me play the piano for him; he liked beautiful music, and I gradually came to love it." (recalls how she got into music)
In making music, I just feel whether it's good for live musicians or not, It's case-by-case. When I can use live musicians, I do, but sometimes a sampled sound is more effective.
Lyrics like "I bought three radishes and found them cheap" aren't relevant to my interests! It goes like "A traveler searching for eternity" instead.
