Like you can reserve it if you want to.
Like you can play.
Oh, there's a pre.
Yeah, you can listen just a minute.
Oh, really?
Of a song.
Yeah.
It's not released yet.
Wait, what's the merit of releasing just one minute of the song?
No, I just released the whole song.
But it's like a, it's on Apple Music.
Oh, I see.
You can purchase it.
Yeah, beforehand.
Okay, got it.
You can kind of listen just like a trial listening thing.
I see, I see.
Got it, got it.
One minute.
So it's not on Spotify or?
I mean, it will be on anywhere on the releasing day.
Got it.
But.
Got it.
Still, it's like a.
I see, I see.
Yeah.
There's a teaser version.
Yeah, yeah.
They do like a teaser video.
Yeah, it's on.
It's only on the like Apple Music.
It's like a, it got own feature.
Got it, got it.
I didn't, I didn't do it.
It's just.
Oh, shit.
Yeah.
It's got feature.
Oh, shit.
So.
Isn't that a congratulations kind of thing?
Of what?
Oh, am I not understanding properly here?
So.
Yeah.
So.
It will be out.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So it will be out.
Yeah.
When is it going to be out?
It will be like 12th March or like 10th March.
So it's like two weeks from now.
So now it's going to be out on all platforms.
Everywhere.
Yeah.
Or like Spotify, Amazon Music of course.
Everything right?
Everywhere.
Yeah.
YouTube Music.
YouTube Music.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
But right now.
Yeah.
It's like, what can you listen to?
Only like Apple Music.
Because Apple Music has own feature.
Uh huh.
Uh huh.
Of like pre.
Pre-listening, trial.
Trial.
Reserving system.
03:00
Have a bite kind of thing.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
Okay.
Got it.
Got it.
So it's kind of you can listen just a minute of a song.
Uh huh.
And you can like pre-purchase it.
Got it.
Yeah.
I see.
I see.
I see.
But even you do it, you can't listen the whole song.
I see.
Because it will be released on like middle.
I see.
March.
Wait.
So you can purchase a single song.
Yeah.
But.
On Apple Music.
Yeah.
Because Spotify doesn't have like purchasing a song.
Right.
It's a subscription for the whole thing.
Right.
Yeah.
But isn't Apple Music the same thing?
Um, they got like subs.
Same as Spotify Music.
They got subscription.
Oh, that's different.
But at the same time they can.
I see.
Buy it.
Like they can purchase it.
Got it.
Like they can purchase it.
They can purchase a whole album.
Like one song.
Oh, that's, that's what's up.
Yeah.
I see.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
So there's the individual types.
Like.
Yeah.
You can buy it and then.
Like, well.
I'll be happy if you, if people buy that song.
And then like, it will be like in like Apple, like somewhere.
With all the subs, like in general, like with all the.
The, um, the streaming services.
What's the merit of buying individually?
Um, you can listen it at everywhere.
Without the internet.
Yeah.
That's one.
And also like.
Um, just supporting the artist.
I see.
Oh, so it's more, the artist gets more when it's bought directly.
I mean, if you listen like millions of times, you know, that depends on.
Oh, I see.
I see.
Like 200 yen for one song, then it will be like, I don't know the percentage, but.
So that number will coming into like artists.
I see.
A lot more than say someone who's subscribed to Spotify once.
Yeah.
It's a lot more.
It's different.
Way more.
I understand.
I get it now.
And plus if you don't listen to so much music, like if you only listen to this song or this
song, it's so limited.
I guess it's better for you to just go for the individual purchases, not the subscription
for the whole library.
I get it.
Yeah, I think so.
Well, congratulations on your release.
Yeah.
Thank you.
The name of the title.
It's dance, dance, dance.
All right.
Yeah.
Thank you.
My Magora.
Yes.
Yes.
I'm going to do an English consultation.
Yeah.
Just a little bit though.
Yeah.
Just a little bit.
Yeah.
So that'll be like the newest, like latest.
How recently are you releasing songs?
I tried to release a song, one song a month.
06:00
Okay.
Yeah.
How's that working out?
Yeah.
Kind of.
Not so well.
But you know, the last time I released my song was like, I guess that was December, last
December.
Okay.
And now it's January.
March.
Skipped.
Yeah.
You know.
I mean, still like, you know, you just skipped once, right?
Yeah.
So it's not bad.
Yeah.
I'm working on the next one.
Well, then you're not bad at all.
You're, you're on track.
Yeah.
Of course.
Yeah.
So this song was like a thought of like rapping.
Right.
Right.
Right.
You know, took me time to write lyrics.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Because it was...
Is that more difficult?
To write raps?
Yeah.
Like, it's not difficult, but it's just many.
Right.
Like, you need to write more words.
Yeah.
Right.
That's true.
That's why you just take time to because it's...
Yeah.
Which one's more enjoyable?
Or is there no difference?
Like rap versus normal?
Like I won't say normal, but like, you know, your usual kind of flow.
Well, both are fun to me.
Okay.
Yeah.
You are a lyrics guy.
Yeah.
You love writing lyrics.
Yeah.
And especially like if you write raps, it's like a puzzle things kind of like a, you know...
If it rhymes or not.
Yeah.
That's like a, it's like a quiz.
It's like a puzzle.
I see.
Yeah.
Like if a word describes this, it has this ending.
Yeah.
Right.
Right.
Right.
Right.
That's fine.
Both are fun.
Yeah.
Are you excited for the release?
Yeah.
Like what kind of feeling do you get?
Like on the release day?
Like...
Happy.
Happy?
To like...
So I have two feelings.
Okay.
One is like if I finish making song, that's like, okay, I'm done.
Okay.
Stepping into the next one.
Okay.
It's like done.
Like I finished.
Okay.
Feeling.
Like very "sukkiri"?
Yeah.
Done.
Okay.
And now kind of already like shifting into like...
Shifted into like new...
Okay.
Song.
Okay.
All right.
Like my mind isn't there anymore kind of.
Oh, you moved on.
Yeah.
I see.
I see.
Kind of seeing next song.
That's one feeling.
Okay.
Okay.
Yeah.
And the another one is like I know the song, but it's just only me know the song.
So nobody knows the song until the releasing day.
Okay.
So like finally, it's like finally, you know, released.
And everybody can listen the song.
Okay.
So it's like a new birth feeling.
09:04
Really?
Yeah.
Oh, interesting.
Yeah.
It's like exciting.
But a bit nervous.
Nervous?
Yeah, a bit.
Okay.
Yeah.
Oh.
Do you ever like wonder how many plays you get?
Or like, what kind of comments you get?
Is that something that that runs through your mind?
On the releasing day?
Yeah.
Yeah, of course.
Like if the song like, if people have fun time from listening that song, how we're happy.
Like if they say like, yeah, of course.
Is it going to be on YouTube as well?
Not YouTube music, but YouTube?
Yeah.
It's like an auto generated YouTube.
Yeah.
So that is yes.
But it's not me for upload.
It's not like usual, like through the YouTube studio thing.
I see.
It's also generated with a jacket shashin.
So people can still put comments on the video?
Nah, it's like, it's auto generated and it's off comment.
You can see you can't see the comment.
So there isn't really a way to like, publicly comments written on your work?
Yeah.
But people can.
Some people kindly send me some messages.
Like Instagram and stuff like that.
Yeah.
And then when I post like, it's released, and then people will kindly comment to that.
Oh, right, right, right.
Yeah.
Right.
Instagram.
Yeah.
So that's why I can.
That's how I see the comments.
Yeah.
So right.
True.
So if I upload the video, then people can comment.
What about music videos?
Yeah.
Making music videos?
Yeah.
I mean, no, I mean, yeah, I made a one lyric video.
Okay.
Yeah.
With like, the one with the car?
With the car?
