We each have our own differences. Sensitivity, memory, athleticism, stamina, looks, figure, the timbre and power of our voices... As we have these various things that make us unique, it is only natural for our methods of training to be varied. There is much to be gained from lessons with others. However, when you cannot partake in them, you must devote yourself to whatever you can. That is the essence of self-production. I cannot take the same lessons and training as everybody else. Thus, some heartless people have said certain things to me... that I could not be an idol. When I begin to feel that way, I imagine a world and tell myself: I am in a frozen landscape. Locked away by the relentless winter, I have nowhere to go, no path to take. Scream as I may, my voice vanishes into the blizzard. However, now is the time to endure. The snow will one day melt. Just as there is no night without dawn, beyond every winter waits spring! Until that day, I will continue to sing. No matter what ills befall my body, I will allow no one to take my dream away.
