"What feels good to listen to are dramatic arias that are upbeat and exciting." The first time I went to see an opera was about 20 years ago when I was staying in New York for a long time near the Metropolitan Opera. Actually, I had very little interest in opera, but I remember being very impressed by the atmosphere of the elegantly dressed audience in tuxedos and dresses chatting over champagne during the intermission. It felt like "getting a glimpse of high society," didn't it? It was really fun to see such a different dimension. Before I started serializing "Pride," there were many women around me who said, "I'd like to go to the opera once, but it feels a bit intimidating..." Originally, I was more interested in peeking into glamorous, unknown worlds and their hidden sides than in depicting the everyday lives of ordinary women. So, I thought it would be interesting to use the world of opera as a theme and have two contrasting women clash. I never imagined that opera would be so profound and that it would lead to me tying myself in knots... When creating "Pride," I had people tell me about songs that seemed necessary for the story, and from those, I narrowed it down to famous ones. Since I'm a manga artist, I initially tried to follow the story intently when listening to opera, but at some point, I started thinking, "Opera has a story because of the singing!" and then I found it really exhilarating to listen to upbeat, dramatic arias with a strong sense of rhythm, and sometimes sopranos that even conveyed a sense of madness. Also, I've had more opportunities to attend opera performances recently, and sometimes when I go to a pop concert, I think, "Huh? Weren't they better than this?" I didn't really notice it before, but opera singers' voices are indeed "the real thing." Moreover, I've recently started to enjoy opera more by doing the minimum necessary story preparation before attending a performance. In Japan, there are subtitles when you watch it. In any case, I would be happy if people who are not very familiar with opera listen to this CD and think, "Ah, this is what was being sung in that scene from 'Pride'," and enjoy it.
