It has been a moment since I wrote you. I have been fighting a lot in my life - mostly to protect my true music and spirit here in New York - and I want to report to you that I have been able to keep up my true self and my confidence 200%! Sometimes when I struggle about something or with somebody, I realize that I go through struggle because I always seek to create greatness! I realize that I don't do this by myself, but with ALL of you who likewise face challenges each day and seek to become better and wiser people. This feeling of unity makes me so assured about my life and my dreams! I want to thank you for opening your hearts to me and letting me share...
Likewise I believe that, in this period where Japan is undergoing reconstruction of damaged areas after March 11th, the courage and the determination of the Japanese people will also create amazing greatness! It is never about what we face - it is always about our attitude and how we navigate through diversity. Never losing our hearts! We have to protect the beautiful things in life, and we have to protect each other.
I was thinking a lot about Japan today. Honto ni, we are always connected in spirit, and I just wanna say THANK YOU for being in my life!
And p.s.! The new record is underway! I still can't reveal anything, but Masuzaki-san has made it possible for us to create some AMAZING recordings across the ocean. Nothing can ever stop Annekei's music from reaching you :) Thank you Taka, also!
