YM：it's very simple it's very simple you know it's very simple I remember when I was first starting recording the first solo tour Steeler album was produced by Mike morning but it wasn't really small as in they go yeah great great and then the second one did was actress I producer in there and it kept on tell me to slow down you know I said hey slow down oh no no remember less is more that's the Morrison and I always said how can that be how could less be more it's impossible more is more you know simple simple logic and so that it became a little bit of a joke and you know motto so so I like the most marshals and the fastest notes and stuff faster Scott whatever I like I like it because it's fun and you know why dude halfway I just can't see why less is more as impossible for me to relate

Q：what's your legacy so far in your opinion it's a big question but what what do you feel in the big picture is what you've brought to to music

YM： I can tell you this much that I went to America with one guitar one extra pair of pants and a toothbrush with a no direct plan you know and the fact I'm sitting here now 27 years later told you you is mind boggling which means that people still give us you know a hoot but what I'm doing to me that is the reward you know that it's not only being great all of like really great but it's been great for a long long time you know and I never really expected that you know I never thought that it would happen and so I take take that as a great gift you know
[word_balloon id="1" position="L" size="M" balloon="bump" name_position="under_avatar" radius="true" avatar_border="false" avatar_shadow="false" balloon_shadow="true" avatar_hide="true" balloon_full_width="true"]アメリカにはギター一本と替えの下着、あと歯ブラシ一本で行ったんだ。当時はまともな計画なんて特になにもなかった。でもこうして俺は27年後になってここに座っている。自分でも驚いてるよ。人はまだ俺に関心を持ってくれていて、それは素晴らしいミュージシャンになるだけじゃなくて何年もの間素晴らしいミュージシャンであり続けられたからなんだ。それは大変に光栄な事だよ。[/word_balloon]
Q：what do you think it is you did specifically musically that allowed you to be here 20 cents

YM：the only thing I can think of is the fact that I've always been stubborn and extremely dedicated to what I do and I really believe in what I do and to quote niccolò paganini one must feel strongly to make others feel strongly it's a gamble but I think that's what makes it work because if we just follow the wind you blow away one day you know and I've always kinda liked taking the good with the bad and you know criticism I you used to you know so I just as long as I believe in what I'm doing I think that's the right thing to do I think that's why I'm still here
[word_balloon id="1" position="L" size="M" balloon="bump" name_position="under_avatar" radius="true" avatar_border="false" avatar_shadow="false" balloon_shadow="true" avatar_hide="true" balloon_full_width="true"]一つ思い当たるのは、俺は常に音楽に対して頑なでそれ以外何もしなかったって事かな。自分のやる事を信じてるし、パガニーニを引用するならば「他の人に強く感じてもらうためには、自分自身が強く感じなければならない」。一種のギャンブルみたいなもんなんだけど、それが重要な要素なんだと思う。風に身を任せてるといつの日か気がついてしまう。色々な批判もあったし良い事もあったけど結局そうやってここにたどり着いたんだ。[/word_balloon]
