Isshi's Tedium Diary
#23
Good evening, how is everybody doing? I am Isshi. Lately I like the dark times of the day best, since it's easier to go out. Saying that, I'm only going from my house to the studio and back again, so the amount of time I spend indoors doesn't change much. And now, we're in the midst of recording. Next month "Haru Urara," our first CD of this year, will be released. Since it'll be a song that's nothing but easy to listen to, everyone please listen to it.
Well, what should I say of the atmosphere among society lately? I've been feeling a little down with only dark news, but nevertheless people do their best and have no choice but to go on living. I don't watch the television much, but occasionally when I get up early and fumble around for the remote to turn it on just for the "Morning Fortune-telling" that comes on. Sagittarius is stuck with the lowest rank at such times! It's like that again and again. And each time it gives me a bad mood. Does everyone else have experiences like that?
People like me in particular, since it's no exaggeration that it's decided from the moment we wake up early that the day is going to be full of tension, even getting out of the futon on days like that can be troublesome. It's always that the schedule is already in place, so I reluctantly get up and prepare to go out, but I'm stuck with passing the day in a mood that's quite indescribable.
Speaking of fortune-telling, in the past, before Kagrra had begun yet, I went to see a diviner with Izumi. I think for sure it was in Shibuya. We saw it on our way home, but I don't remember what it was about. However, somehow, I remember that the two of us were told that if we wanted to open up a restaurant it would prosper. Although we were told our fortune about the band, I don't remember what the details were except for the restaurant. When I consider it now, I think, 'Did she hit it halfway?' but anyhow it's generally accepted among everyone that I'm tone deaf for cooking and tone-deaf for taste. Even now I don't really understand why someone like me would open a restaurant. Izumi's form standing in the kitchen and cooking is something I can imagine easily, but that's only half of the significance. In various questionnaires we're asked, "What would you be doing if you weren't in a band?" A similar one that we're asked is, "What was your dream when you were a child?" I had innumerable dreams when I was a child, from being a sports player to being a sculptor, ahh but whichever it was, I had a fickle nature. I was like that from the time I was in university until now, so it's a pretty strange thing that I kept going this whole time with music. And that I'll keep going from now on too. However, speaking of a way I've changed from the past, "Because I like it" has turned into "because I want to give a deep impression to everyone with songs I like." In letters and such people will write, "I keep going every day by listening to Isshi-san's songs." I think it's really pleasant to read letters like that. Therefore, even when I'm the lowest rank in fortune-telling when I get up in the morning, when I sing my songs I'll cheerfully open the front door, so I think I'll put a lot of effort into making that the power of such songs. I don't know how many years or decades will pass, but I want to carry out just that dream until I die. I want to sing songs that reach everyone. Those are my circumstances.
Well then let's meet again next time. Yours truly.
