Then again I don't think I need to have a reason. If I can feel it, that's enough. I have listened to all kinds of R. and B. music, but I grew up on American soul music. The environment, though, was Japanese. That's my favorite song.
Many people love it.
I tried to express my style, but I didn't know many people then, and I didn't know the American people's style or what kind of music people wanted to listen to. At the same time, I didn't want to lose my uniqueness, or my attitude. So I combined those with what people wanted to listen to. That's what I did on the second album that I didn't do on the first. Tell me something about Toshi Kubota.
