*'''You have written lyrics and sung on many DDR/Bemani songs. Did you first create the lyrics and then music was composed to fit the lyrics or was there a different process involved? How much studio recording time is involved to complete one song?:''' I am always given the music first. I listen to it once and the concept of my lyrics pop up in my mind. Then I start writing the lyrics and I'm usually done in 3 hours or less. Spending too much time on thinking does not help. It's pure inspiration. It takes about 2 to 3 hours in the studio to record the voices. Then the engineers spend more time to finish up everything. I do not stick around until everything is done.

But as I got better, the fact that people were watching me did not stop me a bit. Then the time came when I was asked to write lyrics and rap for DDR. That moment when I evolved from PLAYER to RAPPER & LYRICIST is one I will never forget. I hope you all play the game and dance like you've never danced before and evolve from PLAYER to ULTIMATE DANCER. Enjoy! | ||
