I am a thief. Throughout all time, there have been many kinds of thieves, but I am a little different from them. I don’t steal money. I have absolutely no interest in antiques, jewels, or other valuable works of art. I am a thief who steals sound. "Haru o hisagu" is a slang term for prostitution. Here, it functions as a metaphor for "music as a business." Don’t you think that’s sad? It’s even more foolish than real prostitution. We shave away our pride to make a living, choose themes that cater to the masses, and search for pop melodies. We create works that are neatly worded and easy to understand. In this way, we sell ourselves—ourselves as expressed through the form of music—to you at a bargain price. I call that "haru hisagi."
