My Father

ge_science

My father doesn’t know much about music. Every time I perform on stage, my mother gets excited, but my father remains calm. My father and I rarely talk about the piano. However, we love eating and talking about sushi when we go out to sushi bars.
When I was seven, I won the first prize in a contest. My mother was very happy, but my father warned me: “There’s always someone better than you.” He told me, “There’s more to life than just playing the piano. You have to study more in school.”
I felt rebellious toward my father when I was in junior high school. Whenever he told me to study harder, I’d say, “Stop bugging me! I know what I am doing!”

When I was 17, after the Chopin Competition, some of my friends came together to talk about planning my future. At that meeting, my father said, “All I want is for my son to stand on his own two feet and have all the sushi he wants. That’s all I ask.”
