Q. When have you felt the most lost or conflicted in your life?
“At 19, when I quit school and moved to Tokyo to pursue music that moment was both the most difficult period and the biggest turning point of my life.”
Q. When you feel lost, where do you go? And if you don’t go anywhere, how do you spend your time?
“Whenever I feel lost, rather than going somewhere, I pause for a moment and say something firm to myself.
That quickly clears my mind, so I don’t need a special place or time to move forward again.”
Q. What does a RAWROW product mean to you?
“It’s a spacious container that can even hold a drum stand—and at the same time, a small refuge where I can sit down and catch my breath.”

Q. What does the RAWROW product you’re using mean to you right now?
