Watching my full-time poker, another best player told me to focus on my strong points, which was to look like I'm having fun. I was playing the bass on stage after that I started to really enjoy being on stage without always looking down. fun in whatever you do so I commend you for that thank you so much do you have any advice for any you know aspiring musicians you know anybody who wants to get you know started playing any type of instrument or singing any advice at all Yes. I think musician is a special job. I don't think it's a good idea to compare yourself to others. So no matter what the situation is, it is important to believe in yourself and continue to work in any way you can. yes thank you so much because that's the best advice and I think that you know all aspiring musicians can take that to heart so I appreciate that thank you so much what is one message that you would like to give to your fans besides me to our fans in the U.S. thank you for your support I have so many favorite artists in the US.

Hopefully, you know, if you can't do it in 2023, we definitely got to pray for 2024 or definitely 2025 because, you know, everybody is so happy and your journey has just you know inspired a lot of musicians so what can you tell the fans about what you are working on next yeah we have a lot of shows in japan in japan this summer we hope we can go overseas soon yes me too i agree i'm getting my passport soon so I can't wait to see you all right here's the fun thing Haru since you play the V bass which is an amazing bass okay how did you decide on what kind of bass you want to use? I got to test out a bass played by Kyle of of genres to a band that I love. And that was the first time I played a V-bass. I liked it because it looked cool, but it looked difficult to play. However, it was the same moment when my image of the V-Bass changed. Since then, I have been borrowing the same V-Bass from Kyle. Oh my gosh. And I think I like that because you have your signature V-Bass with the bow in it. And I think that's so unique and that's so you. So I'm I'm happy about that. I haven't played the V-bass before because I'm too scared So Moa Star Wars fan. Yeah Yeah Are you excited that the Star Wars celebration will return to Japan in 2025?
