But when the time came on the day, I felt a bit restless even while watching, and before I knew it, it was over. I’m going to watch it again. I was also happy to receive so many comments from everyone! Thank you so much.” She conveyed her feelings to her fans.

Today I was able to make music with some of my favorite members, who I’ve been friends with since my 20s: GENTA on drums, Sawada Hiroshi on bass, Tanaka Yoshito on guitar, and Higuchi Naohiko on guitar.
