As a pianist, my fingers are masculine and thick. My greatest nightmare is that when I get married, my ring will be bigger than that of the groom. I am haunted by the image of the two rings being presented side by side at the ceremony, whereby my ring would be the larger one of the two.
I love cooking, especially Japanese food. I also love using a very sharp Japanese knife. I once cut my thumb with it, but ironically, it was not while I was cooking. I am extremely cautious when I prepare food, but I somehow stumbled over the kitchen table, on which the knife happened to be placed, and it fell on my hand and cut my thumb. Later, the doctor told me that I was actually lucky – since the knife’s edge was so sharp, the clean cut would heal much faster.
As a child, I used to bite my nails constantly. Generally, I would say that I have hyperactive hands, particularly a few fingers with which I constantly have to do something. As a result, my fingernails and cuticles are a mess. When I play a glissando on the keyboard, my cuticles often tear apart leaving the keyboard all bloody. I don’t feel pain. I guess I’ve grown accustomed to it.
Pianists typically don’t carry their own instrument with them, and often can’t get a decent backstage warm-up, which makes it difficult to avoid cold hands. It was by coincidence that I discovered Rubik’s Cubes, and realised that they are the perfect solution for cold hands. Solving a Rubik’s Cube is really just a matter of algorithms, and once you’ve learnt the algorithm it becomes a memory challenge. The easiest way to solve the cube is actually by doing it fast, while letting the hands work automatically. It becomes a motor skill and an ideal alternative for warming up on the piano. I’m obsessed with these cubes and always carry a couple of them around with me, loosing them all over the place. I believe that I have acquired about 50 or 60 Rubik’ s Cubes in the last five years alone.
My Father had huge hands and so do I. My hands are often bigger than those of my male friends. Naturally, I have big feet as well, which I absolutely hate. I’m not very tall, but my feet are a size 40! In Japan, I can hardly find shoes my size. As a teen, I had very long arms and huge feet. I would go on stage feeling like a gorilla.
I bought the rings myself. These are the two that I like the most these days. I like geometric, clean lines, rather than flowers or girly embellishments. I bought these in Berlin and I wear them all the time, even on stage – I believe that there is no place anymore for rules regarding dress code. I dress however I like, red nail polish and all.
Love this?
Amazing
What an original way to get to know the inner artist. I read the stories with great interest, it’s much more fun than to read a article about an artist. I can identify with her memory of her father’s big hands…
I am so sure she is a great artist, if she talks so openly about herself, I fell in love!
And what a way to share this!!
Such a cool concept!!
He will love you and not worry about your hands or feet. He may be slightly insecure about your immense talent, but he will get over it as he won’t have to buy your wonderful music and he will hear it the best of anyone.
I like you the way you are. Your face is expressive and so are your hands. What is important is not how big your hands are but what you do with them. You are a passionate
girl/woman. A man who respects and appreciates you, a man who values you and can feel your soul is a man who deserves you. There is nothing wrong with your feet: I like to see you on stage
without shoes. Can you wear Tabis?
私はあなたのようにあなたが好きです。 あなたの顔は表現力があり、手もそうです。 重要なことは、あなたの手がどれほど大きいかではなく、あなたがそれらで何をするかです。 あなたは情熱的です
女の子/女性。 あなたを尊敬し、感謝する人、あなたを大切にし、あなたの魂を感じる人はあなたに値する人です。 あなたの足に間違っていることは何もありません。私はあなたを舞台で見たいです。
靴なし。 あなたはタブビスを着ていますか？
Charming
