Formula Indie Sessions _ Interview with Sarah
What is your earliest memory connected to music?
When I was a child, I was given an acoustic guitar. The first chords I learned were C and G. When I played the chords in succession, it became music. That’s my earliest memory of music.
How did your passion for creating music begin?
I started listening to a wide variety of music and was influenced by many different genres. Gradually, I felt a strong desire to express myself through music, so I started writing melodies and lyrics while playing the guitar
What’s the story behind your current music project?
Aside from music, I’m also active in the worlds of design and art. In both cases, the act of expression itself is the same: when I want to communicate something, the chaotic images that pop into my head are organized and shaped into art or music. In my music projects, I think about how I can convey those images, whether through sound or lyrics, to as many people as possible.
How would you describe your sound to someone who has never heard your music before?
My music is primarily pop music composed of electronic instruments and vocals. The sound is diverse, ranging from danceable songs to ballads. I’m influenced by a variety of musical genres, so there are phrases with alternative sounds and a retro feel. I hope you enjoy these aspects as part of my music’s appeal.
What is one thing you’ve learned that completely changed the way you make music?
The development of digital technology has brought about dramatic changes in the music production environment.
What tools, instruments, or software are essential in your creative process?
Guitar and various music production software
How have your personal experiences influenced your music and artistic vision?
Everything I have experienced in my life up until now has been filtered through me and turned into a musical work, just like snow piled up in the Alps turns into a clear stream at the foot of the mountain.
What emotions or messages do you hope listeners take from your work?
As I said earlier, the experiences I’ve had and the people I’ve met so far – for example, the people I’ve loved, the people who loved me, and the people who didn’t love me – all of these things influence my music. I try to express the words I want to convey to the people who live in my memories, and the feelings I have for the people who support me now, through my music and lyrics. I would be happy if my music resonates with many people, they empathize with me, and I hope that they enjoy it
What’s the most important lesson music has taught you so far? It’s important to stay passionate about the things you love.

What do you hope listeners will discover about you along the way?
I’m sure the songs I’ve released so far and the ones I’ll be releasing in the future will have a variety of different atmospheres. I hope you enjoy the differences. The lyrics are written in Japanese. It may be an unfamiliar language for many of you reading this article, but I hope you’ll translate them and enjoy the worldview of the lyrics.
