Hello, Could you please greeting to your Thai fan and how do you feel [about Thailand]?
This is my first time in Thailand. I’ve read about Thailand in a book and feels like I want to come here. Now I’m in Thailand, which I’m glad.
How did you feel when you were in Thailand?
I always wonder about what will Thailand looked like, but when I was here everyone was so kind. During the mini-live, everyone sang along with me. I was very happy and wanted to come here again if I have a chance.
Have you ever tried Thai food?
I usually eat Thai food in Japan. Personally, I like Thai and Vietnamese food very much, for example TomyamKung. Also Thai food is kind of popular in Japan right now so there are lots of Thai restaurant there.
Compare to Thai food in Japan and Thai food here, are there any different?
I don’t think it is the same. In Thailand, the taste was more flavored and spicier. I think I have eaten the original taste of Thai food.
What about coriander? Did you eat it?
Coriander….? I like to eat it very much.
Since you were in Thailand have you try to catch Pokémon here?
I didn’t really have time so I didn’t try it yet. But I wanted to! Because this place [Siam Paragon] have tons of Pokémon wasn’t it? *laugh*
Fact: Siam Paragon is one of the best places to catch Pokémon in Bangkok.
How did you feel about your performance in AFATH2016?
This was my first performance in Thailand. At first, I was worried that the audience will like it or not. However, everyone is singing, cheering and dancing along with me.
Are there any different in Thailand compare to Japan?
Japan doesn’t have a street food but in Thailand, there is a lot. The food looks delicious and clothes are also not expensive.
What do you think about Thai fans?
Even though this is my first time in Thailand but I’m so impressed that everyone enjoyed the mini-live.
We got this question from fangirl….. Do you like Thai woman?
I think that’s ok [I think Akibatan asked Krad was it ok to ask this question] Everyone looks ok *shy laugh* [I don’t know how should I translated this Orz]
How do you prepare yourself before the performance?
I often relax myself and drink warm water. Also slowly do a voice-warmup.
How about if you feel nervous?
I see… Like today, it is the last day so I want everyone to extremely enjoy my mini-live when I think like that all the nervous will go away. I just want everyone to feel enjoy.
In an additional from music, what is your hobby?
Play games; online-game, RPG game for example. To be honest, if it is a game I think I like everything *laugh*
Anything to say about your new album ‘Mind Hack’?
This is my 4th album. I want everyone to enjoy all 12 tracks in there. Also, there are different kinds of music so I want everyone to try listening, sing along and enjoy the song.
Do you have any future plan about music?
I want to try working on EDM because I think it’s a type of music that everyone can enjoy the music, melody, and lyrics. Moreover, I want to work on music that everyone can have fun with it.
Is there anyone that you want to collaborate with?
Yes, there is. He is an EDM DJ name Zedd. It will be great if I have a chance to perform on the same stage with him.
What about Utaite that you want to collaborate with?
I want to try singing with utaite that also has high-voice like un:c, mafumafu, etc.
Will you come to Thailand again?
Of course I will!
Any words to Thai fans?
It’s my first time coming here but I’m very interested in culture and food of Thailand. It will be great if I have a chance to perform live in Thailand again. Let’s have fun together and Thank you so much!
