■INTERVIEW & PICK UP ARTIST
Hiroshi Minami

I was roasted in the sun this summer as usual. "Hot" was not enough to describe this summer, and we suffered the heavy rainfalls called "guerrilla rainstorm." The world is getting unruly and our government is doubtful these days. At least, I can forget about those troubles when I am playing the music, so that helps me a lot. And I try to make beautiful sounds every day, hoping that my music can save the audience in the same way. That is how I am doing lately. Besides that, I will have 3 Days event on November 1st, 2nd and 3rd at Pit Inn. Please check the details on this website. It is a big upward move for me considering how I used to be in old days. Also thanks to you all, my band "Go There!" is still vigorously going forward with the same members for the last decade without a musical setback.Art reflects the social conditions, elaborately speaking. You cannot think about them separately, but when I see the live schedule of Pit Inn, I feel that the musicians' powers are accelerated because of the unstable society. It can be said that interesting music can be born right in this situation where nothing is reliable. Or there is also some other kind of music that is totally free from the social conditions. My music would belong to this latter category.
In fact, I am rather living an unworldly life. My direction is always like jazz in any way. But now in the current situation where people cannot predict their futures and feel anxieties about what is going on in the world, I think that Japanese people need to be Latinized a little. That means, we should not think about the future so much, and just enjoy some good music at Pit Inn Shinjuku tonight. If more people become like that, I will be happy as a person who has always lives my life that way. Well, I am just spinning a daydream, though.Anyway, I look forward to seeing you who could share this daydream with me again.
