My new EP was criticized on Japanese Amazon
and I know the best thing for me to do is to ignore.
But that was the only review it got on the page
and the person only gave it 2stars so
it doesn't give a good impression to the people
... who visit the page and it bothered and saddened me.
I'm being honest.
All music are different.
That's why there are hundreds of us=musicians in this world.
People prefer different things.
Sometimes I do oil paint, another time I use pencils.
Yesterday, I used water colours to paint . . . through my music. :)
The music doesn't need to be always so hyped and packed.
In Japan . . . in the anime industry and everything,
musicians and their staff create such hyped and busy music productions.
So many notes, so many instruments, so many sounds, so many effects.
I'm not saying that's wrong. I know some of you love J pop music.
But I'm not one of those "busy" musicians.
So . . . my music might feel too simple or
even empty for some people who prefer busy hyped music.
My music doesn't need to be packed.
Debussy once said "Music is the space between the notes"
I agree 100%. Well said.
