In places like Malaysia and Indonesia, where audiences are more English-speaking, my setlist naturally includes more English songs, which creates a different dynamic compared to Japan. I\u2019ve also noticed that audiences there really respond to more upbeat songs, so I\u2019ve been incorporating more of that energy into my performances.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size:16px\"><strong>Speaking of performing, you\u2019ve been performing since childhood. How has your confidence on stage and showmanship evolved over the years?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size:16px\"><strong>Hana Hope: <\/strong>My confidence on stage is always evolving, especially in recent years. I really value connecting with the audience and hearing their honest responses. I want my shows to feel like a safe space, where people can express themselves and feel their emotions freely. Especially in Japan, where there is a culture to keep these emotions pent up, so many people use music as an outlet. People listen to songs that reflect what they\u2019re feeling, take that emotion, and really validate it. I hope my songs and shows are something of that sort to my fans.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size:16px\"><strong>Lastly, David Baron revealed on his Instagram that the two of you worked on multiple songs together. Can fans look forward to something exciting on the horizon, perhaps even a new album?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size:16px\"><strong>Hana Hope: <\/strong>I\u2019ll be going back to the U.S. at the end of August, and I\u2019m really excited to spend more time in New York, hopefully doing more co-writing sessions and, most importantly, just creating as much as possible.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<p style=\"font-size:16px\">Our thanks go to Hana for once again sharing her stories with us.
