Bio
One day, I started voice training in 2016. Another day, I started composing music in 2022. My goal is to send a message to the world through music. That message is, “Be Happy Together.” Everyone “wishes for happiness,” so if even one person is unhappy, it causes confusion. For me to be happy, everyone must be happy. If everyone is happy, I am happy too. That’s why I sing. That’s why I compose songs. Music connects people beyond countries, cultures, and religions. Let’s all use music to make Earth the happiest planet in the universe!
Takeshi Arima,
What Musical Genre Do You Feel Best Describes Your Music And How Would You Describe Your Sound?
I don’t think there’s a particular musical genre, but if I had to say, I’d say it’s Latin pop.
I believe music is meant to be enjoyed, so when you listen to it, it makes you happy.
It makes you want to dance.
It makes you feel positive about life.
I think that’s the kind of sound I have,
And that’s the kind of sound I’m aiming for.
How Did You Get Your Name? Is There A Story?
The name “Be Happy Together Capitan de la emocion” combines my message, “Be Happy Together,” and the Spanish phrase “Capitan de la emocion,” which means a captain who will liven up “Be Happy Together.”
I once formed a team to “liven up” a city that had been hit by a disaster in Japan, so this is a nod to that.
What Are or Have Been Your Musical Influences?
What influences my music
is my life experiences.
From the moment we are born, we accumulate a variety of experiences.
Those experiences shape a person’s outlook on life and their values.
They become a person’s foundation and provide strength.
I write all the lyrics for my songs myself, and they are all words born from my life experiences.
I would be happy if my life experiences could be useful in someone’s life! (^^♪
What Are You Working On Now? Any Future Collaborations We Can Look Forward To?
Currently, I compose all of my own music and write all of my lyrics, but I use Suno Music for melodies.
I’m a singer, but the only instrument I can play is the tambourine.
I’d like to be able to perform the songs I compose live, and I would be happy to collaborate with someone.
What Is Your Ultimate Goal In The Music Industry? What Is Your Plan of Action?
My goal in music is to create a world where everyone can sing and dance.
When a person is born, they inspire joy and courage in those around them with their first cry.
Everyone is an artist.
I hope that through my musical activities,
I will help everyone to remember this,
and make their lives richer, more enjoyable, and more meaningful.
That is my wish and my goal.
What Is Your Favorite Track To Perform Live and Why?
It’s my original song, “Dream Dance.”
The reason is that “Dream Dance” is the only original song that I can sing.
Suno Music’s vocals are amazing!
I’ll work hard and practice so that I can sing it
What Has Been The Biggest Challenge In Your Career Thus Far?
When I started composing music in 2022,
I was able to quickly write the lyrics and melody line for my first song, “Dream Dance.”
I then purchased a DAW, sound modules, and various equipment to try to complete the song, but I hit a wall.
I eventually applied for and passed an audition, and was able to complete the song, but it took a considerable amount of time and money.
I’m currently using Suno Music to compose my music, but I think it will be difficult to do it alone from now on.
What’s Your Typical Songwriting Process?
My typical songwriting process is
First, decide what I want to communicate to everyone.
Once I decide what I want to communicate, I choose words that succinctly express that content.
Then I write the lyrics while imagining a melody line centered around those words.
Currently, I use Suno Music to create songs based on those lyrics.
How Has Social Media Influenced Your Career As An Artist?
Social media hasn’t had much of an impact on my career.
I’m hoping this initiative will have a positive impact.
What Are Some Tracks and Artists Currently On Your Playlist?
I don’t have any particular playlists.
I’ve been using YouTube to do voice training since 2016, so I bookmark videos of artists that I use in my voice training.
What Did You Do Before You Started Making Music?
Before I started making music,
I was a company employee, and I still am now.
Any Advice For Young People (Men or Women) That Want To Succeed In The Music World?
Speaking from my experience, I think it’s important to enjoy music, but at the backbone of that is how you live your life as a person.
So how do you want to live? What kind of person do you want to become? I think it’s important to ask yourself these questions and build your “human strength” through a variety of experiences.
What would you change in the music industry if you were a top music executive?
People need to acquire the “things” they need to survive, so it’s inevitable that “money” is needed these days. However, as I mentioned earlier, I believe that everyone is an artist, so I would be happy if we could create an environment where more people could express their musicality.
How Do You Feel About Originality?
Everyone is born into this world, has different experiences, and lives a different life.
Everyone is different and unique.
The question is how and why we express that.
I think that’s the answer.
Learn from those who came before and add your own originality to that.
I believe that various rights are necessary, but musicality is something that is given to us freely from the moment we are born, so I think we need to create a world that nurtures the next generation with a warm heart.
Is There Anything Else We Should Know About You Or That You Would Like to Add?
I would like to express my gratitude to Djwax for finding my song, taking an interest in it, and sending me a message. Thank you very much.
