Aoi Kubo, a 16 -year -old singer songwriter from Adachi -ku.The Z -generation of the Z generation, such as the MV of "Teacher Teacher Teacher Kiri -no -Hao today, the rising angry rising of Naka -no -Maki", which was released in February 2021 and cannot be covered, is played about 1 million times on the YouTube channel.It has attracted attention as an online transmission artist.
She has never appeared, but decided to work with her real face with the release of the song "Solon -speaking" she wrote for the first time.Behind this is that she wants to sing and deliver the painful past she has experienced, conveys the song more, and to snuggle up to those who are worried or painful.I had a consistent feeling.We talked roughly about Kubo's roots and ideas, which have little interview experience.

-What kind of environment did Kubo listen to music?
Like YouTube, I was listening to the music that my mother was singing in the kitchen.
-Did you sing with a cappella?
I agree.I sang with a lot of voice (laughs).I sing a lot of songs, but I also sing Ayumi Hamasaki, Kumi Koda, and enka.
-Did you have a singer?
No, I didn't do anything, but I love songs.I think that was inherited by me.
-It's very unusual to listen to what your mother is singing and know the music.When did you start touching your smartphone or computer?
About 6 small.At first it was a kids mobile phone, but I had a smartphone so that I could contact you.From there, I started listening to songs on YouTube.At first, I was watching YouTuber, which was popular at that time, but I came to listen to the songs taught by my friends and listen to the songs I sent on LINE.
-Do you have any songs you listened to?
The lyrics of the song "Atonement" by Umura Village were Donpisha and I often listened.It is a song that I sympathize with when I listened to it when I was painful, such as being patient when I wanted to cry, or living little by little today.I thought the lyrics were really good.
-What did Kubo himself want to be a singer?
When I sang in front of my mother and friends at karaoke, I was glad I was impressed and cried.She had been saved by a song, so I wanted to save it this time.
-Do you remember which song did you cry?
My mother was a song called "Ai's Shape" by Tsukiyoshi Nakamura.It's a grandmother's song with dementia, but I was very impressed because my grandmother had dementia.My friends cried when I sang a song I sympathized with when my heart was painful.
-Do you were surprised when you saw the tears after singing?
I was surprised.If you think something because you can hear it on the way, you are crying.
-Did you feel good at singing until then?I was praised in music classes.
I was praised only for the song (laughs).After that, I measure the score at karaoke, but the pitch bar is quite good.I sang what would happen if I practiced more.
-Kubo -san has been active without appearing.At this time, he decides to work out and work, but are you worried or pressure?
Until now, I wanted to enjoy the song purely, so I didn't show up.But from now on, I decided to sing myself as a song, and decided to talk about it.Until now, I had to make songs, but from now on, I will make songs, so I'm worried about what to tell, but it's hard to say in the past.I hope I can make something a little different.
-In a separate interview, he said, "I'm not very interested in myself. I want to save people more than that."Why do you want to help others more than yourself?
I have a painful experience, so I can understand it very much that others feel the same.It may be easier to save people around you than you.
-Do Kubo has a good idea of a hard past and a sense of being saved?s
When a comment came on YouTube, I think, "Oh, I'm happy, I'm happy," and I'm going to do my best, so my heart has been saved from that part.
-However, on Twitter, "I'm looking for" easy ", but I'm scared if I don't have anxiety.I don't like the inconsistent self. "I want to be saved, but I'm worried if it's gone.Is there such a contradiction feeling?
I'm scared if I'm looking for "easy", but if I don't have anxiety.I hate inconsistent myself.- Aoi Kubo (@kuboaoi_desu) January 23, 2022
I have only a contradictory feeling.Even though I'm so contradictory that I don't even know, I'm going to go ahead, so I don't understand again.I write that kind of feeling in a notebook so that I can read it back someday when I understand the meaning.
-Did you think that inconsistent feelings are the reasons for singing or making songs?
yes.I hope I can find an answer that I don't even know.
-The "Solon" to be released this time is a song written by Kubo's lyrics.In writing lyrics, the prose is first written every hour.Why did you decide to take such a way?
I just cut out the day of my usual days, but there was a lot of things I thought in one day, so I thought I could make it a song.This song draws a casual day.
-Why did you prose instead of lyrics suddenly?
I wrote the lyrics for the first time this time, but it was easier to write such a sentence and write the lyrics from the unity.I'm thinking of doing so in the future.
-What do you want to have a casual day when writing lyrics?
I thought that the casual day I thought was a completely different day from the surroundings.Oh, is that so?There are quite a lot of things like that.So, I wrote the lyrics as if I was muttering what I always thought in my heart.When I write myself in this way, I realize for the first time that I was thinking so much.
-Isn't it difficult to make the lyrics from each story?
I wrote while worrying about how the scene would come up.No. 1, I wanted to tell you what you wanted to live, so bring it to the rust.After that, I wrote it in chronological order.
-Do you want to know the meaning of living?
I agree.When I noticed, I was always wondering.At first it was an emotion that could not be written, but I understand it little by little, make it into words, and make it a lyrics.
-I don't think there is a clear answer, but what do you think Kubo thinks about living?
Is it a song?After that, I think that the desire to save people or snuggle up is my life now.
-Kubo -san also composes "Solo -speaking".How did you make songs?
The staff made a simple code and played the melody accordingly.When the arrangement was added, I thought that it was a kind of song that I thought, which was completely different from the time of a piano.
-By the way, is there anything you can do with instruments?
I can't do this completely, but the only thing I can do is the piano and guitar.The guitar was done in club activities, and the piano was almost self -taught.One left hand (laughs).
-What was the club activity?
What is it?It was a club activity that combines guitar, mandolin and mandra, but it was a bit too skipping ...
ー (laughs).Wasn't the school a favorite place?
I liked it, but I didn't like doing the same thing around, so I was doing something different.I didn't want to go or return at a fixed time, so I was late, leaving early, and doing something different.You can't do it during class.Personally, I liked doing something else during class, and I liked the atmosphere and special feeling that was a bit off normal.
-What did you do during class?
I was drawing a pattern on the notebook.When the teacher comes, change the page.Also, I looked at the textbooks, looked at the lyrics books, and did all the truly silly things.
-Did you write something like prose at that time?
just a little.However, I was embarrassed to see it around, so I didn't write much.I knew that I was different from my surroundings, so I still felt ashamed.Regarding prose, I wrote when I was in an exchange diary with my teacher.
-You had a diary with your teacher.What were you talking about?
It was the time when the environment was rough, but I got on consultation.I sang it and I was really close.Why was that good friend?
-Isn't that the teacher salvated by Kubo?
I agree.I went to school to go to see the teacher.
-What did you think of yourself that you were a bit different from other people?No, or that's proud.
There are both.It was a bit inconsistent, but the past was hard, but it seems that this was done because of this past.Thanks to that, I think quite a bit about myself now.
-In a separate interview, you said that your mother would like you to be happy, but why do you care so much?
I wonder why ... I wanted to give back because my mother supported me the dream of becoming an artist.I want to be filial piety.
-Do you have a fight with your mother?
I don't do much now, but I fight with silly (laughs).Because it's really a friend.I often play "Teru's Uta" when I'm wearing makeup recently, but if my mother is in a relaxed mode, I think it's a lullaby (laughs).
-It seems that you tried to sing a song that nobody could sing because it was popular because it was popular because it was popular because it was popular in the past.It may be connected to the part that you want to do something different from other people you said.
Is it connected?I sang such a difficult song for the first time.I hate to think about it, but I like writing kanji.Then you can make a song with only kanji, and if you release it, everyone will listen.I thought I had to sing and sing.
-It's really difficult to sing, can you do it live?
No, I want to avoid it (laughs).
-Ahahahaha.Do you want to live in front of your customers in the future?
I want to do it.But I don't want to sing at a big live venue.The best wish is to save people a little.Regardless of the size of the venue, I think it will resonate with my heart.
-You'll consistently, other people are the first.
I'm not very aware, but I think so.
-Do you want to be a name or to meet your approval?
Not much.Maybe there is something like my song saves my life or that kind of thing.Because I was saved.I keep that feeling in my heart, and now I want to save it.
-What was the moment when Kubo was saved by the first song so far?
When I felt so much, my friend always told me the "Atonement" I just talked about, but I was saved by that song.Listening to a song that I sympathized with when my life feels very heavy, I feel easier.It was a moment when I thought singing was really amazing, so I would like to be able to write and sing that song someday.
-What kind of artist do you want to be in the future?
It will be the same story, but because I have the same experience, I hope that I can make a lot of songs that can be made for those who are worried or those who have a hard time.I am.
