Every time I release an album, I immediately want to start working on another one right away, but as soon as I start working on it, I feel the pain of labor. I have great respect for all mothers in the world. I am working on this album concurrently with my tours, acting, and fashion, but both my production teams in Los Angeles and Tokyo are working hard to push it forward. I'm finally done with the first half, now going into the second half. There are many songs that are filled with my personal feelings. I will do my best that it will reach a lot of people." Details on one of the two albums will be revealed on February 14.
