JUNON August 2013 Interview

 



Deep love is best.

If you’re wondering what the best way to love is, a deep love is the best. Because you’ll get hurt. Your original heart is like a stone with lots of lumps sticking out. It will be hurt by loving deeply, and that hurt will carve into it, carving the corners away and making it into a smooth circle. That process hurts, but the shape becomes more beautiful, and you’ll become more enriched as a person. I guess that’s what love is.

Quality is more important than number or length.

By loving and being hurt, you come to understand the meaning of being hurt. Therefore, you come to understand people’s pain, and will stop hurting them through carelessness. But that’s only people who loved well. If you only search for quantity in love, it’s too meaningless. Love isn’t a question of number or length, it’s a question of quality. I want you to love very deeply.

What is a love that makes you grow up?

They say that love exists outside of reason, but I wonder how many people have really ever loved that much. Isn’t it important for people to become absorbed in something? It’s hard to find an object for that, but love is the one thing everyone can become absorbed in. Those who can’t even get absorbed in love are immature. I guess they’re in a state where they have a lot of impurites in their heart. On the other hand, people who can get absorbed in love no matter how old they become are always pure and beautiful. They shine brightly. They continue to mature as people.

Confessions of unrequited love…

You should confess. And tell them straight. There are girls who like to play cat and mouse, but if you do that with a man who is experienced with love it will backfire on you. If you confess, it might be a good result or a bad result, but as long as you tell them straight, it should leave an impression on them.

Painful unrequited love is important too

Heartbreak is necessary because it makes people mature, and it’s the biggest opportunity to live practicing self control. For example, those who have never suffered ill health don’t worry about their health. But those who have practice self control. Feeling unrequited love for someone means that you’ll live with self control over your heart. Those who think this is annoying are averting their eyes from something they have to face every day. For example, work, family, the rules of society… You won’t mature like that. To have a painful unrequited love is for your heart to develop a “safe amount” that’s enough to cover unreasonable things. You should encounter a new self when you do that.

Saying, “I’ll never love again”?

I wonder why people think of it that way. It doesn’t matter if you’ve been dumped, or two-timed, or three-timed. In an old TV commercial, a girl said to her boyfriend, “What do you like about me?” and was told “Your body”. And the girl was overjoyed at that answer, “I see, you like my body”. When I saw that, I thought, “I like this girl”. If it was an obsequious girl, she’d say, “You mean you don’t care about my personality?” The innocence in being happy to hear he likes your body is fascinating, and attractive to men. If you make a man think, “If I say this, she’ll get mad at me”, then you’re immature as a woman.

If the guy you like has a girlfriend

It shouldn’t matter. There are people who think it’s no good, and call it “homewrecking”. But think about it. Since they’re the person you like, surely they’re attractive? Rather, if you hear he has a girlfriend, you should think, “Oh good”. If you hear that he doesn’t, then you should wonder if there’s a problem with the guy. The most common being, “He’s lying” and “He has strange personal habits” (laughs). It’s not absolutely decided that you can’t love him because he has a girlfriend. Men in particular always have an interest in new things, so you might be able to become his new girlfriend. It’s just that you may or may not become his favorite. There’s the possibility that you’ll be toyed with. But you can love him even if it’s just for a little while.

I can’t forget him

That’s something to be happy about. You were able to meet someone like that. I’m turning 40 this year. I’ve been in love a lot of times, but the number I can’t forget could be counted on one hand. The percentage is that small. If you think about it that way, meeting a guy you can’t forget is a very happy thing. You have to be grateful for it. You should be thankful for it without thinking of not being able to forget as a painful thing.

How about barren love?

Basically I don’t think there is such a thing. Love has no set form or definition. But love can bring risks. For example, adultery. Loving someone with a marriage is like running with a kettle of boiling water. You’ll get burnt. But it will be that exciting. And if it goes well, then you’ll be the one to take on that risk. Because he’ll probably cheat. If you aren’t prepared to take on that risk, then you shouldn’t.

The meaning of gaining years

I turn 40 on July 4th, but I think gaining years is as wonderful a thing as gaining loves. There’s a responsibility in it, and I want to gain years with a goal of “This is who I want to become”. If I don’t, young people will stop wanting to grow up. On July 3rd, the day before my birthday, I’m going to release my first album in 3 years, two “Best of” albums simultaneously, “THE BEST OF THE BEST vol.1 -MILD-” and “THE BEST OF THE BEST vol.1 -WILD-”. It’s to commemorate my birthday. I’ve re-recorded a few songs for them. It’s not that I want you to sink into memories of the past, I want to tell you that, with this history, I’m here now. I’ve been solo for 14 years, if you include the time with a band, it’s close to 20. Because my voice has changed over the years, there are songs that don’t fit my voice now. And this time I felt again, what’s important isn’t just singing them well, but including all of the force and instablity.

“Sakura Chiru…” love

I put two new songs, “Sakura Chiru…” and “CLAYMORE” on the albums. It will probably be the representative song of the national tour I’m carrying out now, and it’s also a preview that “This kind of world is waiting”. “CLAYMORE” is a song that represents the feelings of a girl who fights. I want all the girls who are fighting with something now to listen to it. And, even if it’s only once in your life, I want you to love like in “Sakura Chiru…” I think if you are able to love like that, you can carry that feeling and live kindly for the rest of your life.
