Now, this time, let me talk about just a story of my interviews. Since 2011 when we started this website, I have interviewed with someone at times somehow. About the interviews, I hardly feel regret. It never means, however, that I don't have any regrets at all.

Don't get surprised at my sudden confession. My best musical producer was Sakuma Masahide. Let me omit talking about the reason why I guessed so, because it will make long long long as you may be tired before my conclusion.

So, featuring Japanese pop music, I had to interview with Mr. Sakuma before anybody as long as the interviewer was me. Around 2012, however, I was a very fresh writer and interviewer and then, felt a lot of hesitation to interview with such a great producer. It means that I believed I didn't have elements to interview with Mr. Sakuma enough.

The world autonomously goes on without worrying about my circumstances ━━ like it coolly does to you who read this. He got to suffer from terminal cancer while I was feeling hesitation. In 2014 Jan., the greatest musical producer passed away. Needless to say, the chance to interview with him was forever gone.

Hearing of his death, I suffered from strong regret which said "why didn't you ask for an interview at all?" Of course, it is very considerable that his management office refused or ignored. It could make me give up without regret. But anyhow I didn't even apply. The accident made me know the importance to ask.

Actually, after 2014 Jan., interview articles have increased. That's the reason why I said I hardly feel regret about my interviews. This half year, we have come without an interview. I wonder if I will do again someday.
