- ON HER MUSIC CAREER:
关于音乐生涯
Apollo Leader asks: When you were growing up, when did you know that music was going to be a major part of your life?
粉丝：在您的成长历程中，您是何时意识到音乐将成为您生活中的主要部分的？
Mari says: When I was a 5th grader. :) The message was always in my heart since I was a child, "Mari, you are going to be a musician" by God. :-)
饭岛真理：当我念小学五年级的时候。从小时起，上天传来的信息“饭岛，你将成为一名音乐家”就萦绕在我心头。
Ginrai asks: What does singing mean to you personally?
粉丝：歌唱对于您个人意味着什么？
Mari says: Almost everything. :)
饭岛真理：意味着一切事物，
Apollo Leader asks: At what point did you decide to start recording your music for the intent of releasing it to a US audience?
粉丝：什么时候您决定为美国听众（在美国发行）录制音乐作品的？
Mari says: I've always intended to do so. When my record label in Japan let me go at the end of 1998, I decided to make it a positive move. So I released my first English album “No Limit” in 1999 as an indie artist.
饭岛：我一直想这么做。1998年底，我与原来在日本的唱片公司解约后，我决定做出一个积极的调整。于是我在1999年以一名独立音乐家的身份发行了首张全英文大碟“No Limit".
Hikura asks: Are you surprised by the popularity of your music by the American fans considering most of your music is in Japanese and released only in japan?
粉丝：您是否为您的音乐在美国粉丝中的高人气感到震惊——在大多数您的歌曲都只在日本出过唱片的情况下？
Mari says: Well... I write & sing many of my original songs in English. Of course, all the Macross songs are in Japanese though. I'm truly thankful that people in the U.S. support my music. Thank you!! I'll keep on trying to expand my career.
饭岛：恩。。。我用英语创作和演唱许多原创歌曲。当然。所有MACROSS里的歌曲仍用日语演唱（重新配音的英语版中，饭岛用英语重新演唱了MACROSS TV版本的插曲）。我真的非常感谢美国人能支持我的音乐。谢谢你们，我会坚持扩展事业的。
2002年英语、日语混合专辑SILENT LOVE封面SkullWingLeader asks: what is the most surprising thing you have encountered while working in the business?
在您推进事业的时候遇到的最令人惊讶的事是什么？
Mari says: If I wish really strong, and work hard, I can meet and work with people that I admire and respect! Jeff Porcaro... I was still married and my ex-husband was my partner then, so I asked him to contact some studio, so I could contact Jeff. David LaBruyere... my very favorite bass player in the whole world, who played with me on my latest - Wonderful People. I contacted John Mayer's manager, Michael McDonald first, and he was kind enough to give my message to David. Everything started from there. When I really really want to play with someone, first, I get very passionate about it and I focus, almost like sending my wish to heaven. Then I start the process... to actually get that person on my record.
如果我的意愿坚定而且肯不断努力奔走的话，我可以与那些我尊敬并且喜爱的人共事！比如Jeff Porcaro... （Jeff Porcaro... 是美国著名POP ROCK乐团TOTO的成员，该乐团首张专辑即荣获1983年格莱美年度最佳唱片、最佳和声编排、最佳伴奏乐器编曲、年度最佳专辑、最佳录音工程以及年度最佳制作人奖，RICHRAD MARX还特别为JEFF写了一首“ONE MAN”。）我是已婚人士而且我前夫是我的搭档，所以我让他联系录音室，于是我认识了Jeff和David LaBruyere－我最喜爱的贝司手，同时也是我的新合作伙伴之一。（David LaBruyere是美国比较著名的贝斯手）... 我此前结识了“少女杀手”约翰梅尔的经纪人麦克麦唐纳，他帮我向David LaBruyere传达了意向。当时我对此非常热心，但我觉得有点象是向上天传达讯息。接着我开始了邀请他参加我唱片录音的进程。
2005年最新专辑WONDERFUL LOVEZinjo asks: What album are you most satisfied with?

粉丝：除了您的个人网站，那里还能买到您的专辑？您是否希望让您的专辑打入大零售店和面向家庭客户的音像商店？
Mari says: If you come to my website, there are links to CD stores. I prefer you guys to go to cdbaby.com, 'cause they kindly understand indie artists' lives :) The iTunes Music Store is cool too. And, Robotech.com! Haha. Yes, I want my cds to be available through major retail stores in the States. :)

Apollo Leader asks: How did your interest in live acting come about?
粉丝：您是怎么对参加影视剧演出感兴趣的。
Mari says: Well... since I auditioned for “Memoirs of a Geisha” back in 1998. My neighbor was a manager and she was kind of helping me out at the beginning, then I met my acting coach right after I booked “Pacific Blue.” I learned a lot in her technique and scene study classes, so I got really into acting.
饭岛：恩，那是我为“艺伎回忆录”试镜（失败）之后，在邻居的帮助下开始的。。。
Apollo Leader asks: Since you have made a name for yourself both in Japan and in the United States because of both your music and acting, where do you plan on concentrating your future music and acting efforts - the US or Japan? Or do you plan on equally reaching both markets?
粉丝：您现在在日美两国都有了一定知名度，您打算在那边发展演艺和音乐事业－日本还是美国？或者您打算在两边都努力发展？
Mari says: I want to take care of both countries. I have no plans to move back to Japan for now. That much I can say. :)

Apollo Leader asks: What will you be up to next? Do you have a new album in the works? Any future plans for live acting or voice acting?
粉丝：下一步您有何打算？有新专辑出版吗？有没有参演影视剧或幕后配音的项目？

饭岛：首先我要飞回休斯顿录完英文版MACROSS。我会不断争取广告、电影、电视剧的演出机会，计划在2006年某时出版一张专辑。
Zinjo asks: What do your kids think about being kids of musicians, are they musically inclined or haven't shown any interest in it yet?

关于私生活
Apollo Leader asks: Where were you born and raised in Japan?
您在日本的什么地方出生和长大？
Mari says: I was born in Tsuchiura-city, Ibaraki. I was raised there until I started high school. I went to this prestigious music school called "Kunitachi Music High School & College" in Tokyo, so I left home when I was 15 and lived in the dormitory and other places where I could play piano freely at any time. When I got a record deal, I was still living in this huge female-students-only building called "Harajuku Gakusei Kaikan" with 500 other female students in Harajuku, Tokyo. :)
我出生在茨城県土浦市。我在上高中之前一直住在那里。后来我升入著名学府日本国立音乐大学附属高中读书-后来又升入国立音乐大学。所以我15岁就离开了家，此后一直住在学生宿舍或者其他我可以随时没有顾虑地弹奏钢琴的地方。当我接到第一个录音机会的时候，我还和500多个女学生一起住在东京原宿的“原宿学生会馆”。

Steve Yun asks: When you say Snoopys do you mean your sons or do you mean Snoopy from Charlie Brown?
粉丝：您说的SNOOPY是指您的儿子还是SNOOPY玩具啊？
Mari says: Snoopy is Snoopy, Steve!! Hahaha. My sons are definitely NOT Snoopys. I was one of the very first Japanese people to purchase (I'm 99% sure of it) a Snoopy in Japan. I was like... 7? Since then I've always wanted to marry Snoopy. I was THIS close to marrying one of them, but it didn't work, 'cause he had too many professions. :) Anyway, I have a few favorite Snoopys in my house, but I especially love this one Snoopy, and we are like a married couple, you know. We are ALWAYS together in the house. :-)
饭岛：当然是真正的史努比拉！哈哈哈！我的儿子可不是史努比哟！我敢99％肯定我是日本的第一批史努比玩家。那时我才。。。7岁吧？从那时起我就想嫁给史努比（囧。。。。难怪会离婚），我几乎想嫁给其中一只史努比了，但是不行啊，史努比的种类太丰富了。当然，我还是有几只比较喜欢的，不过我特别喜欢这只史努比，我俩就像夫妻一样，你知道，我们一直胶在房间里。。。。。（囧，这只史努比真幸福）
