We had a little gathering earlier today to tell Toya about our thoughts, feelings and experiences in order to help him with his song.
An
He took everything that we said and organized it into a massive timeline in his notebook! Isn't that so him?
Ken
Sure sounds like it.
You really get to see what makes a person tick when they're writing a song.

Little An
Yeah, this sounds more like what I wanted... But can't you teach more like Aunt Nagi?! I always get what she's talking about!
Musician

What choice did I have? I didn't know what I was doing back then! Actually, I still don't really understand the theory behind it all...
Ken
That's good to hear.
