MEMORY album interview

SHEBA INOUE

What made you come back to music?

I wouldn't call it "coming back to music". I've had a few.. rough weeks lately, and music has always been an outlet for me. I sat myself down for a couple of days to cool myself off. Sitting turned into writing, then writing turned into composing, and composing turned into singing, I suppose?

"Wouldn't call it coming back"? Will you not be making another album?

No, likely not. Music is a passion of mine, but I would prefer to keep it that way.

Why did you stop making music?

Aha.. I stopped because my contract ended. After that, being signed with a modelling agency kept me too busy, on top of my interest in the beauty industry. Like I said before, music is a passion of mine. I won't ever stop making music, but the world will never hear it.

Why did you release MEMORY?

... Honestly, I'm not sure. 

I intended to keep it to myself, like the rest of the music I've written, composed and sang. It felt like something I needed to do, because it felt like I'd lose something in myself if I didn't. I felt like I'd be.. losing something very, very important.

You'd lose something important? Do you mind getting into more detail?

If I gave you a ring, it would only be a ring. If your partner proposed to you with a ring, it would become a wedding ring. The value of something depends on the sentimental value of it and... I was afraid that if I didn't release MEMORY somewhere, the feelings I had while composing and singing it will disappear. 

I couldn't tell you why I feel the way that I do, but it.. feels like I've woken up from a dream. I feel like I've woken up from a long, deep slumber.

But it's funny. I don't feel rested.

Your music always had a weight to them. Is it related to that?

Maybe~. I always poured my heart into the music I made. It hasn't changed. Maybe it makes it more impactful because it's always sang in my mother tongue?

How would you describe this recent album?

A collection of memories, and a... likely futile attempt to preserve them. I suppose you can say they're a message in a bottle to myself, and they're my message sent out to sea in hopes that others remember it, too.

... Longing? Grief, longing, and gratitude. Ah, yes. I quite like that description. 

Grateful longing.
