I really loved this episode of Over the Bubbly! Thankyou for the inspiration Beni! Thankyou for the lovely interviewing skills Saki! I have been a long time international listener since the Arashiro Beni debut album. So this podcast filled in some of the blanks that I couldn't put together. I always feel a sense of gratitude being able to see and hear the transformations, the moments of resilience, and the turning points. And I think the final part of this video about your current drive to move people through the music is so powerful and true. I am not fluent in Japanese, and yet your songs have been a beautiful part of the soundtrack of my life since I was 15. I remember making little dance routines to songs like Gems or Flash Flash. I remember learning how to draw and paint by doing portraits of all my favorite singers and album photoshoots. Now I just feel immense gratitude to be in my 30s, making my living as an artist and remember those early days of inspiration. Having a creative career can be so up and down, but I always feel reinvigorated by when I see things like "Beni 15 year anniversary!" This is a long comment and such an extra way of saying LOVELY podcast 😂 So i'll stop journaling and just say always excited for the next podcast episodes!! 😂
