Album: MET

——“Ichigoichie.(いちごいちえ，一期一会)"

It’s a proverb in Japanese teaism culture, which means once in a lifetime chance. All what you have experienced is the once and only time you would have MET it. 

I heard about MET program of ETC@CMU in 2020 fall, from one of my friends at university. Since I first heard of it, I knew this is my dream program for my graduate study — but time is so short for me to prepare. 

However, this may be the once any only time for me to meet ETC.

In my album cover, my MET characters is broken, indicating that everyone is not perfect. But, having the chance to meet itself is already a gift from destiny. I treasure my meet with ETC, and I would try my best for it.

And the second reason is, I found my first love short time ago online. She studies in Japan now. She is so adorable and gentle. We make phone calls every night and she is with me whenever I prepare my application materials.

She is not a perfect girl as well. She was raised from a family where parents usually quarrels even fight with each other. But, she is strong enough, to overcome all those harm on her.

Due to COVID-19, traveling becomes nearly impossible. But I want to meet her so much. I treasure how we MET each other. I hope to put my feeling into this album and send to her as a gift.

So please allow me to make this album as a gift for ETC, and for my love.
