pistachio queen
Why the title? A very odd name, I agree! But Shinya's character is very complex and I wanted something that would resonate from that persona. His feminine looks are obvious enough for him to be dubbed queen, but the pistachio comes from a fairly popular clip of Toshiya and Shinya enjoying ice cream. One of my friends told me how funny Shinya pronounces pistachio and I had to immediately search for this clip. It was just way too cute how he reacted to the word. Even though the title obviously doesn't represent the brilliant talent that this man has as a musician, I think it fits the more personal side to him.
