\nNON's 3rd full album \u201cRenarrate\u201d was released on Wednesday, September 3rd.
\nTo commemorate the release, we present an official interview where Non candidly discusses the entire album, track by track
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u2015\u2015The album \u2018Renarrate\u2019 struck me as a work that unfolds like a story, tracing the path Non has carved out. Moreover, while establishing the sound of the \u201cNON Band,\u201d I felt the range of expression within rock music expanding. Could you start by telling us why you chose the theme \u201cRenarrate\u201d for this album?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

In my music, I used to prioritize projecting a strong image of myself. But with the album \u2018PURSUE\u2019 I released two years ago, I realized I could still pursue my art freely even by showing my vulnerabilities and softer sides. While I expressed my emotions up until \u2018PURSUE\u2019, with \u2018Renarrate\u2019, I wanted to retell those stories by crafting songs like weaving a narrative or making a film. It's like attaching an objective story to things I'm not satisfied with or messages like, \u201cThis is how I want to live.\u201d I tried to retell it from that perspective, so listeners can imagine their own scenes and connect it to their experiences. I hope it gives them that feeling you get after watching a movie.<\/p>\n

\u2015\u2015Why did I feel, during the \u2018PURSUE\u2019 era, that it was okay to show not just the positive aspects but also vulnerability? And why do I now feel the urge to revisit that?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Whether acting or directing films and music videos, I believe that delving into a character's weaknesses, vulnerabilities, and negative aspects makes them increasingly compelling. Even though I felt that way, before creating \u2018PURSUE\u2019, I strongly believed \u201cI want to show music through music alone.\u201d But when I started thinking about how to amplify music's power, I began to understand that it would be good to express myself in a way where my musical self and my acting self intersect. Once I did that, I lost my resistance to digging deep into my weaknesses, my pathetic moments, my regrets, and expressing them.<\/p>\n

\u2015\u2015If Non-san were to leverage her acting prowess to portray fictional characters within her music, I'm sure it would undoubtedly result in fantastic pop songs. But I also believe that it's precisely because she sings so candidly about \u201cherself\u201d as a person that her music moves us so deeply. So why does Non-san persist in expressing \u201cherself\u201d through her music?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Maybe it's because I prefer songs that let me picture the creator's life. Even with fantastical lyrics, I find myself connecting to songs that make me think, \u201cThis person must think like this,\u201d or \u201cI wonder if they ponder things like this in daily life.\u201d Even if I'm mistaken, that kind of imagination makes me care deeply about the song. So, I hope my own songs can make listeners feel that same kind of connection.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u2015\u2015This album features 12 tracks completed primarily by NON and guitarist Kei Higuchi. I felt this approach gave the entire album a sense of unity and depth, like watching a single story rather than an omnibus film. What led you to adopt this production method this time?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Until now, I've made albums by having people I admired provide the music, thinking, \u201cSince it's my acting career that's widely known, that's how it should be.\u201d But I started feeling it was time to show, \u201cI'm serious about music.\u201d I didn't want my music to be seen as just a side project. It's not like I'm just going along with someone else's plan. I wanted to make an album that could show that. Kei has played guitar for me since I started making music. He's now my bandleader, and he even handled the soundtrack for my film (Ribbon). She's my \u201cmusical partner.\u201d So deciding to make this album just the two of us was a big decision. There are songs where Kei wrote the music and I just wrote the lyrics, but I'd decided I'd compose half myself. Including the ones I scrapped, I wrote way more songs than ended up on this album... There was this moment where I thought, \u201cOh, I'm already dried up\u201d (laughs).<\/p>\n

\u2015\u2015When I was dried up, what became my \u201cwater\u201d?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Since it took two years, I had other work during production, and I feel like I was given water while acting as an actor. There were moments when I thought, \u201cActing really is fun,\u201d and I realized I could never escape the joy of expression. Also, at Chiba (Yusuke)'s tribute live (\u201cOhara\u2606Break '24: Paint Over with Love\u201d), I covered two songs. Jumping in while feeling dried up was genuinely fun\u2014that was water too. So many artists were there, like Hiroto Komoto and Kazuya Yoshii, and the sound hitting my ears was just so cool. After the live ended and I stepped offstage, Hiroto-san told me, \u201cYou're a rock \u2018n\u2019 roller, aren't you?\u201d That made me think, \u201cWow, I'm so glad I've been doing music.\u201d It felt like I'd been rewarded.<\/p>\n

\u2015\u2015That's a phrase that will support me for a lifetime. From here on, I'd like to present a full track-by-track commentary on \u2018Renarrate\u2019, with Non-san discussing each of the 12 songs one by one. The first song is \u201cThe Light of Film\u201d (Lyrics: NON \/ Music: NON). I recall being struck by something you mentioned during a previous interview with Kiyoshi Reitaro: \u201cWhen I see people where power or something other than acting is their top priority, where acting isn't their \u2018absolute number one,\u2019 it really gets under my skin.\u201d This song feels like it captures that essence of you, Non-san, who values the dignity of acting and human emotion above all else.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

This song truly became an outlet for expressing that very frustration I feel. It was created from the desire to experience many moments like watching a beloved film, and it serves as a way to confirm that \u201ceven though things feel constricted, what I believe in remains.\u201d Since it was crafted using film as a motif, I feel I was able to write phrases I probably wouldn't have used before. I even tried writing slightly cheesy lines like \u3008You're my only light\u3009. I'd be too embarrassed to say something like that myself, but since I wanted to depict the story of a protagonist utterly captivated by a film, I could write it.<\/p>\n

\u2015\u2015From the very first drum beat, it's such a cool opening for the album, and the melody is amazing too.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

I'm thrilled! I absolutely love this one myself. While creating it, I wanted the chord progression and melody to carry a more poignant, tingling emotion than what I usually craft. For the arrangement, I thought Shibata-san's (Takahiro Shibata \/ Wasureranaiyo) style would link well with the lonely boy's feelings in this song, so I asked him to handle it. Then he sent me an incredibly cool demo, which made me so happy.<\/p>\n

\u2015\u2015The second track is \u201cRenarrate\u201d (Lyrics: NON \/ Music: Kei Higuchi). It serves as the title track representing the album<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

I absolutely love this one too. Kei-san had always said he wanted to \u201cexplore a sound that feels like a NON-chan-style band track,\u201d which is exactly why I wanted to work with him on this album. The first result of that was \u201cHaru wo Ukete tatsu\u201d (released January 2025). So I asked him to create another song in the same vein as \u201cHaru wo Ukete tatsu,\u201d and that's how this song came to be. During production, Kei went through a slump too. When he tried making this song thinking \u201cI want a song like Haru wo Ukete tatsu,\u201d he couldn't get anything he was satisfied with. But then I went to his place and said, \u201cPlay me all the demo scraps you have,\u201d and among them was \u201cRenarrate.\u201d While Kei was stuck, she was experimenting with different approaches. We'd talked about how \u201cmaybe it would be good to try composing music based on the lyrics I wrote first.\u201d So, I threw out a list of words, and this chorus came out of it. It was absolutely perfect. \u201cHaru wo Ukete tatsu\u201d is a song that flows under the sun or in springtime warmth, but when I first heard this demo, I pictured a scene in pitch darkness after sunset, lit only by car headlights. So I wrote the A and B melody lyrics with that image in mind.<\/p>\n

\u2015\u2015Hearing that, I realized this song's theme of \u201cwalking an unknown path\u201d reflects both Non's life and the album's creation process. The third track is \u201cThe Taste of Dreams\u201d (Lyrics: NON \/ Music: Kei Higuchi). It's a song that opens the \u201cchildlike heart\u201d whose door has closed as we grow up, and then embraces you.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Kei had been saying for a while, \u201cI want to try something like rap too.\u201d So, with a nervous look, he sent me \u201cThe Taste of Dreams,\u201d saying, \u201cI feel like this direction could be new territory too.\u201d I think the lyrics for \u201cThe Taste of Dreams\u201d involved quite a bit of trial and error. I usually jot lyrics in my phone's notes, but I hit a wall, so I thought I'd try writing in a notebook. I woke up, grabbed a pen, and started stringing words together analog-style. I think I wrote things like \u201cholding a treasure chest\u201d and \u201ccandy\u201d with sleepy eyes. I was writing in a daze. You know how sometimes words just come out without passing through your brain? That's how I wrote it.\u3002<\/p>\n

\u2015\u2015So those words really came out while I was half in a dreamlike state.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Conversely, the rap part has this grounded, real-life feel to it, which I think makes for an interesting song. I hadn't written many rap lyrics before, so I wrote the A-melody, B-melody, and chorus first, then wrote about 20 times as many words for the rap part and handed it all over to Kei-san. Then he picked things out from that and pieced them together to make these lyrics.<\/p>\n

\u2015\u2015Is the \u201cchildlike spirit\u201d expressed in \u201cThe Taste of Dreams\u201d something that's always at the core of Non-san?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cChildlike spirit\u201d is a really important theme for me. Doing this kind of work, I think it's vital to have this kind of boundless desire to express yourself, this boundless curiosity to keep learning. There's also this kind of obsession, this fear that if you lose that curiosity and that sense of exploration, your talent will end. So as long as I keep creating, I don't want to lose that childlike spirit.<\/p>\n

\n<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2015\u2015The fourth track is \u201cClimy.\u201d This song was born from a rare collaboration between the Higuchi sisters: composed by Kei Higuchi and lyrics by her older sister Ai Higuchi (writing under the pen name \u201cAi Higuchi\u201d).<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2015\u2015The fourth track is \u201cClimy.\u201d This song was born from a rare collaboration between the Higuchi sisters: composed by Kei Higuchi and lyrics by her older sister Ai Higuchi (writing under the pen name \u201cAi Higuchi\u201d).<\/p>\n

It's special, isn't it? When Kei sent me this song, I felt like I couldn't come up with this kind of melody or lyrics on my own. Then Kei said, \u201cI was thinking of asking Ai-po.\u201d I thought if Ai wrote the lyrics, this song could expand exponentially, so I asked her. The next day, Ai sent the lyrics, and I was both surprised and delighted. Keiko told Ai something like, \u201cI love Non-chan's attitude\u2014like she's glaring at someone while shedding tears of frustration.\u201d From that, Ai wrote the line, \u201cCrying in a fighting pose.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2015\u2015Lines like \u3008This jumbled heart is mine alone\uff0fI won't give it to anyone\u3009 and \u3008Saying things like \u201cI hate you\u201d or \u201cI won't forgive you\u201d\uff0fIt's like a boomerang\uff0fStabbing deep into my chest, prickly thorns\u3009 really capture those moments when the human heart trembles. It feels so quintessentially Non-san, radiating that pure anger toward anything that tramples on those feelings. It's a song packed with the charm of Non-san, as seen by sisters who know her well.<\/strong><\/p>\n

That's how they wrote it, it seems. I absolutely love these lyrics too.<\/p>\n

\u2015\u2015The fifth track is \u201cMeiwaku na Rinjin\u201d (Lyrics: NON \/ Music: NON). I pictured you writing music at night, NON. When did you create this song?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cMeiwaku na Rinjin\u201d is actually about me (laughs). I'm the type who gets sudden bursts of inspiration at night. When I can't sleep after getting into bed, I'll grab my guitar and compose while singing. But one day, a notice appeared near the elevator in my apartment building saying something like, \u201cWe've received complaints about pet noises, musical instrument playing, and loud singing. Please refrain.\u201d I thought, \u201cWhat if they're talking about me? Oh no!\u201d That's when I wrote this song. I wrote it imagining a scene like something you'd see in a movie.<\/p>\n

\u2015\u2015So how have you been composing since that notice went up? (laughs)<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

I've been behaving myself (laughs). I make music by playing my electric guitar without plugging it into an amp.
\n
\n<\/em>\u2015\u2015The sixth track is \u201cMizu o\u201d (Lyrics: NON \/ Music: NON). I felt this song represents NON's approach: cherishing the tremors within her own heart while crafting music that creates moments of heart-stirring emotion for the listener.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

This song was made with the decision to break my own habits and create something I'd never made before. Even the chorus\u2014which used to be mostly simple, repetitive four-chord structures\u2014I wanted to break down and create a completely different type of chorus. I made it with the feeling of, \u201cI would have done it this way before, but I'm deliberately going to avoid that.\u201d I also incorporated poetic word arrangements and metaphorical expressions into the lyrics.<\/p>\n

\u2015\u2015What would you say the metaphorical expression \u201cwater\u201d represents?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

During the album production, I was constantly outputting and felt myself drying up. That's when I started thinking about how important those everyday moments are \u2013 like eating a home-cooked meal, going on a hot spring trip, visiting museums or movie theaters. This song was made during that time. So, I think water represents \u201cthe ordinary, everyday life.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"\u25b2During recording, discussing the songs<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u2015\u2015\u2015The seventh track is \u201cKirei na Kutsu Haite.\u201d This is the only one written and composed by Kei Higuchi.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

I believe this is the first time Kei has written both the lyrics and music. When I asked why, I realized it's truly a sacred song, so important that outsiders shouldn't intrude. I learned that Kei-san's grandmother had passed away. Since he was very close to her, the sense of loss was immense. He wanted to show his grandmother with confidence, \u201cThis is how I'm living now.\u201d It's a song born from that. Entrusting such a special song to me is a huge responsibility.<\/p>\n

\u2015\u2015I imagine that by having Non-san's voice carry it, it became something Kei-san could proudly present to his grandmother. And I reckon she'd be happy too. Track 8 is \u201cHaru yo Ukete Tatsu\u201d (Lyrics: NON \/ Music: Kei Higuchi). As you mentioned earlier, this song's background is the reason the two of you decided to co-create this album. And track 9 is \u201cByoushin\u201d (Lyrics: NON \/ Music: NON). I feel this song is also a crucial point in the album.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This one was made without thinking at all, really casually. It feels like \u201csimple me.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2015\u2015That's where Non-san's charm really shines through, how something punkish comes out when you're in that mode.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yeah. I was surprised myself to realize that when I let my guard down, it turns punk. It's like when I was stuck, thinking \u201cI can't do this anymore,\u201d \u201cWhat should I do?\u201d and just went with my instincts, and this song came out. So it's a song that expresses \u201cI haven't changed at all,\u201d \u201cPeople don't change, huh?\u201d Even after building up all this stuff, if you don't let your thoughts wander, this is what you end up with.<\/p>\n

\u2015\u2015That's where the explosive appeal of Non lies: her rebellious message against systems where power or someone gains vested interests, delivered through punk-inspired musicality. Track 10 is \u201cNigai Kazitsu\u201d (Lyrics: NON \/ Music: NON).<\/strong><\/p>\n

This song feels a bit more sensual than my usual style, I think. It also came from wanting to create something I'd never made before, something where the actor and the music intertwine. When acting, I value thinking about the character's pain and interpreting it in a way that's grounded in that pain. I also value infusing that pain into the music, and I think that's what gives this song its dark feel. It's a song written as if someone else\u2014a character different from myself\u2014were speaking. I feel closer to the person seen through the eyes of \u3008The Me Who Bit Down\u3009.<\/p>\n

\u2015\u2015But the chorus line, \u201cBecause my heartbeat showed me the way \/ My shining dream will keep on running,\u201d really struck me as lyrics that capture Non-san\u2014someone who believed in her own heartbeat and kept running even when the path was invisible.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I guess I can't completely separate myself from it after all. More than who I am now, this might hold traces of the me who was feeling stifled, the me who was just throwing myself into things without a second thought. That was an important time too.<\/p>\n

\"\"\u25b2<\/em>The two of us at the recording studio<\/p>\n

\u2015\u2015Track 11 is \u201cMe, the Fool, and You\u201d (Lyrics: NON \/ Music: NON). That line, \u201cEven being worn down by someone else, that too is life. Such illusions, fantasies, ahead lies utter darkness. Break it,\u201d is the best. Plus, the melody and shout for \u201cBreak it\u201d here feel absolutely amazing.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thank you! Actually, the only part I wrote was those first two lines. The rest was composed by Kei. When Kei was stuck, I gave her a pep talk: \u201cI'll throw you all these scraps I wrote. If anything clicks, just run with it.\u201d That's how this song came together. So I wondered if it was okay to say \u201cComposed by NON,\u201d but she insisted, \u201cIt stems from Non-chan's chorus, so it's a song Non-chan created.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2015\u2015That chorus really expresses the core part that Non-san wants to cherish most, the part that came out naturally in \u201cByou Shin\u201d too, expressed straight.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The chorus I wrote had a punk feel, and I think Kei-san made it in a \u2018Renarrate\u2019 style. The lyrics for the big chorus at the end were really tough, and I couldn't come up with anything until the very last minute. They finally came together the day before the second recording session.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u25b2The two in matching outfits every time they record
\n<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u2015\u2015The chorus of \u201cFools Like You and Me \/ We Can't Live Without Screaming\u201d felt incredibly emotional and really elevated the song. And finally, \u201cLittle Rabbit\u201d (Lyrics: NON \/ Music: Kei Higuchi). NON's acoustic version is included as a bonus track, and this song is just so incredibly cute.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kei said, \u201cI want to make a bonus track kind of song,\u201d and \u201cI want to make a recording just with Non-chan and Kei Higuchi,\u201d and just threw it out there. I thought it was nice to have a lighthearted song like this on the album, so it ended up feeling like a playful track. The lyrics are based on the bunny from my picture book (\u201cCute Bunny. The Beard Club\u201d). It's a story about a bunny who says \u201cI want to be cool\u201d and goes searching for it. I depicted the bunny feeling lost, or pacing around in the forest going \u201cthis won't work, that won't work,\u201d making it a song about \u201ccherishing what you love and aspire to.\u201d It ends with the bunny accepting that it has both strength and weakness, even though it had only shown its strong side before.<\/p>\n

\u2015\u2015Earlier, I asked why you chose the theme \u201cRenarrate\u201d now. Hearing your story, I feel that precisely because you endured that period you mentioned as \u201cimportant\u201d \u2013 a time when the path forward wasn't clear for you as Non \u2013 and have now found your own light, you were able to renarrate yourself. Do you sense that?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ah, that might be it. The structure shows the journey from the person I was back then\u2014someone who rarely shared my weaknesses with others\u2014to the stronger person I am now. It feels like a work that encapsulates my entire life.<\/p>\n

NON's 3rd full album \u201cRenarrate\u201d was released on Wednesday, September 3rd. To commemorate the release, we present an official interview where Non candidly discusses the entire album, track by track   \u2015\u2015The album \u2018Renarrate\u2019 struck me as a work that unfolds like a story, tracing the path Non has carved out. Moreover, while establishing the sound of the \u201cNON Band,\u201d I felt the range of expression within rock music expanding. Could you start by telling us why you chose the theme \u201cRenarrate\u201d for this album? In my music, I used to prioritize projecting a strong image of myself.

And why do I now feel the urge to revisit that? Whether acting or directing films and music videos, I believe that delving into a character's weaknesses, vulnerabilities, and negative aspects makes them increasingly compelling. Even though I felt that way, before creating \u2018PURSUE\u2019, I strongly believed \u201cI want to show music through music alone.\u201d But when I started thinking about how to amplify music's power, I began to understand […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_locale":"en_US","_original_post":"https:\/\/nondesu.jp\/?p=27074","footnotes":""},"categories":[10,7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-27195","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-musician","category-web","en-US"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nondesu.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27195","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nondesu.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nondesu.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nondesu.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nondesu.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=27195"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/nondesu.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27195\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":27197,"href":"https:\/\/nondesu.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27195\/revisions\/27197"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nondesu.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=27195"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nondesu.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=27195"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nondesu.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=27195"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
