Act for this time that is only now.
Hagina Hagiwara is currently active in a variety of fields and has many different "faces".
Hagiwara: Thank you . I was originally a dancer, and after quitting my previous agency, I became the president of the management office of my husband LEO's band, ALI, and produced the fashion brand "Role Model" and the kids' brand "Natural Born," etc. , and became a mother of twin boys. . and so on. . Now, I am mainly working behind the scenes.
What has changed since you became a producer?
Hagiwara: When I was an artist, I was given a piece of music and a stage to perform on, and I made it my own to express myself, but now I basically create something from scratch by myself, while asking for help from others.

. . you are now a person who understands both sides of the issue.
Hagiwara: Yes, it was. When I was working as an artist, I thought it was quite difficult for us as artists, but I realized that many people were supporting us behind the scenes, working with their minds and bodies to bring our works to the world. Now that I have a real sense of how difficult it is to support an artist, I am thinking of doing the same thing that was done for me, and taking great care in each step of the process of creating and presenting our work to the world. . It is because of that time, which I thought was very difficult, that I am here now.
Have you changed your sense of time compared to when you were working as an artist?
Hagiwara: Since meeting LEO, I have the sense that the density of our time is getting denser and denser. We have been together all the time in our lives and work, so although we have been married for about 4 years, it feels like we have been together for more than 10 years already. It feels like time is progressing rapidly and being compressed. ...... I think a big part of it is that our priorities have changed from work to family.
LEO: We were really together 24/7 for 365 days a year until the birth of our child. When we met, I felt like "I finally found my ideal partner! . . and it all happened so fast, and now we're together (laughs). I've been having fun ever since I met Hagihana.
Hagiwara: Looking back, the time we spend together is fleeting, but if I have the LEO and the two kids stay at home with me, for example, and we just go to the supermarket 20 or 30 minutes apart, the time seems so much longer. I feel like, "I miss them so much! (laugh). Since the birth of our child, my sense of time has obviously changed; LEO is always busy with songwriting and live performances, and I am not able to visit his sites as often, so I want to cherish the time when all four of us are together as a family more.
─ Was the "bullet trip to Okinawa" that LEO talked about in the first part also to spend more time with your family?
Hagiwara: Yes, that's right. Before that, LEO and I went to Lollapalooza, a music festival in Chicago, and I left my child with my parents for about a week. When we returned home, he was very spoiled and didn't want to leave me, so I felt a little guilty and said, "I'm sorry we were the only ones having fun. ...... I immediately tried to think of an event that my two boys would enjoy, so I rushed to find airline tickets and a hotel, even though it was the middle of the Golden Week holidays. Luckily, I found the right tickets and a family-friendly villa. So I said to LEO, "Okay, let's go tomorrow! (laughs).
LEO: It's bad, isn't it? I'm going to pack now." [Laughter].
Hagiwara: Since I became a mother, my energy has increased tremendously with the feeling of "for the sake of my children" (laughs). The time I have as a child is fleeting, and it's the only time I have, so I want to show them a variety of sights from an early age. Even if it's a dozen-hour plane ride, I can think, "If my children can have a wonderful experience, I'll definitely get over it! ." so I'm also trying to get passports for both of my children by next month. . I keep thinking about how I can spend my time for my family.
. . you mean that every minute of a child's life is irreplaceable. How do you usually deal with such time?
Hagiwara: Especially in my personal life, I am the type of person who thinks about efficiency, so I set goals a little ahead of time, such as "I will finish the laundry and cleaning by this time. . I want to have enough time to play with my sons, so I calculate the time in detail. . On the other hand, when I wake up in the morning, I realize that it is already late in the evening. On the other hand, since I have a child, my workload has decreased, so when I come to a job site like today, I feel like, "I don't remember time passing so slowly" (laughs). (laughs). (Laughs) . Perhaps it is because I am away from my children that I am even more concerned about them. I would like to have two more children of my own.
. I know that balancing work and childcare can be a challenge.
Hagiwara: . partly to complete tasks, but also because I want to feel the joy of spending time with my children three times as much (laughs).
. indeed (laughs). Time is limited, so I think the greatest expression of love is to "only think about how to spend your time for your family" .
Hagiwara: I'll work things out and make time for him to go to the record store. . because he really only thinks about music.
LEO: Thank you! I never run out of things I want when it comes to music (laughs).
Hagiwara: But I always manage his money so that he can't shop for himself .
LEO: Please write this down for sure (crying).
Hagiwara: (Laughter) . . and still ordering records cash on delivery without permission. He said, "If you like it that much, you can go around record shops all day long.
LEO: I did it!
