I know just enough Japanese to get by if I get lost and greet an audience properly, just from having a lot of Japanese friends and being there over the years.
I got to do school properly and all the stuff that you should do when you’re young and teenage: first friends, first girlfriends. It wasn’t like I needed to be doing acting.
I feel like if I’ve written a song about something I haven’t experienced, I wouldn’t be able to perform it properly, and people would be able to see that. People can see right through that.
We like to engage in a normal publishing effort, which is to act in a responsible manner and make sure the material is not likely to harm anyone, that it is properly investigated by quality news organizations, and by lawyers and human rights groups and so on.
