Tomohisa Yamashita Comment
Strong feelings stay like tattoos and make a person unique.
The Artist is a light sound of that leftover feeling.
…isn't that worth writing about?
Strong feelings and sensations remain like tattoos and go on to shape a person, don't they?
"The Artist" is a song that turns those emotions and memories remaining in the heart into sound.
I thought I wanted to write a poem [song] like that.
