I think there are a lot of people out there that don’t know who or what Acid Black Cherry is. My only wish for listeners is to not be immediately put off by how I look or judge my music based upon my appearance.

I have this image that people from countries outside Japan have a comparatively less judgmental and express their opinions in a more straightforward way. Of course I would love to become a success overseas but I feel I need to accomplish this in Japan to do so. My foremost goal at the moment is to gain support in Japan and then make my way overseas. Once I lay the finishing groundwork for my career in Japan, then I will start looking to make a debut overseas.

I know that there have been a lot of people supporting me up until now, and I cannot thank those people enough. My dream is not to become a big star but rather to create music that people from all different walks of life can enjoy.
