Soshina explained the relationship between chords and melody while playing the keyboard and guitar and singing on the spot. He also offered some practical advice: “Don’t worry too much about whether your message gets across. Sometimes the recipient will interpret it for themselves. It’s okay to try bolder expressions.” During the Q&A session, participants actively asked questions. One participant asked, “When I compose my own music, it ends up sounding like my favorite artist.” He replied, “If you combine it with something that’s very different from that artist, that’s what becomes your own individuality.” In response to a question about how to succeed, he replied, “It’s important to work harder than anyone else in order to surpass the people you respect,” emphasizing the importance of continuing to take action to make your dreams come true.
