"I requested it. It was my first joint work. These days if I make music it unconditionally becomes depressing. I played piano and if you only heard the chords it was clearly bright, but at the completion it became depressing. That was incredibly annoying. I made it brightly but because it became depressing I was stressed out. Even the members felt heavy, and because they said it would be better if it came out brightly than gloomily, I sought reinforcements. They gave the energy that we needed to be bright and enthusiastic."

People say Tablo has changed, that he has gotten dark. Really? You think so? How does a person change? I would ask, but they say that his music has changed. I got curious. And, people had curiously obsessed over him and discussed him. Why do people fixate on his origin? Was it because of morning dramas? Or had he done wrong? Had theydone wrong? Time had passed. Tablo has released a new album. Rounds of applause ensued. Although, we could no longer see him on TV as often, his music became much more pervasive. It wasn’t dark. It was with heft and warmth. He had married, fathered a child. As we all do, he has also grown older, and he has become a father. Whether in praise or reproach, people talk of him. But they do not know him. It has been ten years since he stepped onto the stardom, showing up pell-mell on tv, but people do not know him.Tablo cracks open a beer can. It looks refreshing.
