Zitat des Tages von Namie Amuro:
Even where friendship is concerned, it takes me a long time to trust people.
I guess you could say I'm cautious, or a coward.
Aside from my work, in my everyday private life, I'm not a very adventureous person. I don't look for change.
I think afterall, a promotion video is a piece of work in it's own right.
Until now, I've not done a project where the produce, rapper and singer has never worked together like this before, and I had a chance to try a variety of styles.
I never had the chance to consider what or how I wanted to be.
Even my closest friend said I was finished, but I think I may be a little different from the others.
From my debut until now, I've always wanted to sing and dance.
I stopped caring what people thought.
I think that ballads are always something where I can really become one with the audiance.
If I don't think about anything, and start with a clean slate, in terms of what I have to do, a lot of different ideas come up, and I can think about things more openly.
In the beginning, I didn't dance that much and stuff.
Up until now, I had ideas that I wanted to try but didn't have the opportunity to do them.
Actually, recording the Suite Chic album was so much fun and while working on this new album, people that I've worked with from Suite Chic has lend their voice.
My popularity plunged three years ago and I didn't try to court publicity.
Now, on nights that I can't sleep, I play video games alone until the morning.
I enjoyed the opportunities, but there was no time to think.
I came back to do a live concert. Nobody had done that before and I know my managers were worried.
When I was younger, there was a huge gap between what I wanted to do and what I could do as an idol.
When I was snowed under with the work of an idol, I didn't have time to think.
Simply, there are many things I would like to do.
For the most part, I don't care about what everyone else is doing, or what is popular.
During my grief, I realised there was nothing I could do for my mother, but I did have a child.
People around me called me an idol, so that's what I was.
If I get to wrapped up in how I have to be, or what I have to do, things gradually get worse and worse.
I had no choice in the decision to make myself available. I was not always doing things I wanted to do.
After I can be happy with knowing that I did what I wanted to do.
I'm not completely at ease at rapping, I can't do it well yet.
