![]() ![]() His mother told him music was worthless unless perfect, and he was severely limited by her instruction. He grew up with the most technical interpretation of music. It also makes her the musician she is, and this is something Arima especially appreciates. That’s what makes her who she is, a free-spirited young girl who loves music and just does whatever she wants. ![]() Kaori the individual is one thing she’s turbulent, a bit full of herself, and temperamental. And obviously, Kaori wants to impress some people, though not necessarily the judges.įor Arima, Kaori’s performance is the pivotal moment of his attitude to music. It’s a scary thing to be a performer you want people to love what you do, and it can be really hard to please or express yourself to them. She does, however, care about how her music is perceived and enjoyed by her audience. Though people like the judges might feel downright offended by Kaori, she herself doesn’t really give a damn about following the rules.

Yes, we rely on math and rhythm and technical knowledge to understand how to create it, but even the most exact performance can mean nothing if the musician doesn’t put some of themselves in the work.
