• ... that singer Shiyui got her stage name from a Buddhist statue in Kyoto? Source: それまでにも使っていたハンドルネームとかじゃなくて、そこで新しく考えました。もともと私は仏教が好きで……と言ってもそんなに詳しいわけじゃなくて、お寺の空間とか仏像の顔とかがただただ大好きだったんですね。で、五劫思惟阿弥陀仏（ごこうしゆいあみだぶつ）っていうアフロの仏像が京都にいるんですけど、それがめちゃおもろいやん！と思ってそこから取ろうと。でも「五劫思惟」だとちょっと長いし、仏教みが強すぎるので「思惟」だけを取って、カタカナ表記にしたらかわいいと思って「シユイ」にしてみました。/It wasn't a handle name I'd used up until then, but a new one I came up with. I've always loved Buddhism... but I'm not an expert on it, I just loved the space of temples and the faces of Buddhist statues. There's an afro-haired Buddha statue in Kyoto called Gokōshiyui Amidabutsu, and I thought it was really interesting! So I decided to take it from there. But "Gokōshiyui" is a bit long and sounds too Buddhist, so I thought it would be cute to just take "shiyui" and write it in katakana, so I went with "Shiyui."
  • ALT1: ... that Shiyui went into singing because after finding her college tuition spending unproductive due to her lack of creative works? Source: 美術系の大学だったんですけど、せっかく美大に通ってるのに何も生み出せていない状況を「学費の無駄遣いやん」って感じていたんです。それで何かを作ることがしたくなって、お菓子を作ってみたり、石鹸を作ってみたり、Tシャツを作ってみたり……といろいろやっている中で、“歌ってみた”も「楽しそうだからやってみようかな」という感じでぬるっと始めた感じでした。/I went to an art university, but I felt like I was wasting my tuition money because I wasn't producing anything despite going to art school. So I wanted to make something, and while I was doing all sorts of things like making sweets, soap, and t-shirts, I started doing "cover songs" with the feeling that "this seems fun, so I might as well give it a try."
  • ALT2: ... that singer Shiyui has made several illustrations for her music videos? Source: 2021年1月にネットを中心に音楽活動を開始。デジタルイラストも手がけ、楽曲のイメージに合わせて描き下ろしイラストによる動画も投稿している。/She began her music career online in January 2021. She also creates digital illustrations and posts videos featuring original illustrations that match the image of her songs.
