When I entered high school, I had a band. ーSo after that, how do you do to continue singing? (※T/N: after he graduates middle school**) I would be lying if I said I didn't cry back then, but I found music is a fun thing so even from now on, I would do my best to continue my career. But it such a mystery that everything turned out alright, and I began to think, "Singing is fun!". I bought a microphone for myself (※T/N: before he did the performance), and I thought, "Is it alright? Is my voice really okay? What people would think about this?" and anxiety began to hit me. But after I performed, it was different than I first thought. I started learning music, practicing, it felt like I was practicing somekind of sports! (laughs).


That was how desperate I am at that time. So what happened?Īt that time, I really want to show to those guys who forced me into all that, and I thought, "I should show them I could do this!!". ーSo how do you feel when you first practiced the song? You said you're not really updated with songs back then and I believed you said you didn't have DVD player. It was SMAP's song, 'Sekai ni hitotsu dake no Hana" and WaT's song, 'Boku no Kimochi' ーBy the way, what was the song you performed back then? Then after that I feel obligated and since then I decided to continue singing. (After the event) That was the first time someone praised me like, "You're really good at singing!". Since then, I have been practicing playing acoustic guitar by myself. After all that happened, honestly that was my first time listening to songs.

I didn't want to do it but people around me said, "You don't have any choice, just do it". But there was this day, when I was in my 3rd year middle school (※T/N: if you're wondering, 3rd year middle school is equivalent to 9th grader), there was this 'someone', or perhaps I could say, 'a-bully-type-of-person'.Probably I was the only one who see him like that, since he often irritates me (laughs).But anyway, since he was like that of person, he chose me to perform acoustic guitar for school's festival. ーSince you're that type of person, how are you able to create songs and sing? What makes you interested in that? (*T/N: stuff like singing and creating songs)īack then, at my house, I don't have CD player so I am not really updated with latest songs before. ーSo does that mean you're an indoor type? I am the middle child among all my brothers, but I also didn't get along with them. ーSako-san, what kind of a kid were you back then?
