In Thailand, we also have a lot of anime events, and there are so many anisong contests, but I never applied for them because I was scared of singing in front of people. With YouTube, you\u2019re recording by yourself and [are] just singing in front of the camera, so it was fine for me. So I started that YouTube channel, and because of that, it [shaped] me a lot.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 12pt\">Many of my fans gave me confidence [and] very sweet words like, \u201cI like your voice!\u201d or \u201cYou\u2019re singing great!\u201d Something like that built up my confidence and I\u2019m able to sing in front of people now.

It\u2019s great because I feel like how we watch anime has changed a little [because] everything is so fast. You have to end everything in 13 episodes, or [at] maximum 25. Before that, anime series were so long and the [development] of the characters was still so beautiful. So, I just want the new generation of otaku to watch more old anime.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 12pt\"><b>Yes, there aren\u2019t many of those 56-episode anime anymore.\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 12pt\"><b>MindaRyn: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Yeah, I know, right?\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 12pt\"><b>So your second album, <\/b><b><i>Across Miles<\/i><\/b><b>, is coming out on August 21st.\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 12pt\"><b>MindaRyn: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Yes, only four days to go.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 12pt\"><b>It includes a lot of new songs from many recent anime series.

Otherwise, there are three original songs that I wrote just for <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Across Miles<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. Mostly, my songs are more positive and cheery, but these three songs in this album are darker [and] express more about my anxiety and fears. [They] dive more into that side of me that I haven\u2019t really expressed to anyone before.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 12pt\">I hope that people will know me more through this album as well.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 12pt\"><b>I can\u2019t end this interview without asking one thing about the album, which I was kind of curious about. I think the song is called \u201cVoid,\u201d but it\u2019s a Thai cover song, right? Tell me more about that.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 12pt\"><b>MindaRyn: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I started my singing career by doing covers, right? So, we try to keep that gimmick. Every time I released a single, I always included one track as a cover track which is usually a famous anisong in English. But now that it\u2019s my second album, we wanted to do something different. Instead of making a Japanese song into an English version, why not try to introduce Thai songs to Japanese people too?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 12pt\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">So, I just chose a song that really connected with me and I\u2019m introducing fans to it with a Japanese version in the album. It was originally called \u201cSing Kaung\u201d by <\/span><b>KLEAR<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">**, but the song is called \u201cVoid\u201d in Japanese.
