【TatsuBlog】07/03/2016, 5:07JST - “I’m not homesick, but”
Recently, I’ve been re-listening to songs from my self-titled album, and also had someone come up and say to me, “I’ve been listening to your self-titled album. I really like ‘Myself’.”
Well, it comes with all kinds of memories bringing up some very complicated feelings, but I feel sort of sorry, thinking “Come to think of it, I haven’t put any kind of closure to these songs.” Just disappearing without doing a live concert or anything.
When I’d first released that album I felt embarrassed, because more often than not, I was seen as a voice actor, - it’s a feeling that I have even now.
When it was proposed that I release a self-titled album, I, who still didn’t have anything to show for myself at the time, resisted to the very end, telling the music label and my agency, “But I entered the agency with this name because I want to act.”
Afterwards, the CD was released anyway so I guess I wasn’t very persuasive.
Everything has changed since then. My environment, time, me. Heck even the Chinese Zodiac has made a full cycle.
Right now, I’m in America for an OLDCODEX concert. It’s something that I couldn’t even dream of back then.
And as I look around this American scenery, I’m listening to both OCD and my old songs. It’s fun to hum along.
Right now, the time’s 1:50pm.
You’ve come a long way, baby.
Taking in the time you debuted at 18 years old, 15 years in the making and I wouldn’t have you any other way.
