In piano, if you try to force hitting this key and that key, it's very broken. It's not pretty. When you're in archery, you can't try to force it step-by-step-by-step. Then the shot doesn't flow and it's not a good shot. If you just let the performance flow, it's really beautiful. ↗

The only instrument I can play is piano. Whenever I make songs at home, I play the piano and make them on the piano. ↗
