- Could you share the thoughts and ideas behind this mix?
Thank you very much as well. I genuinely enjoyed selecting the tracks. Of the vinyl I picked this time, 30% were collected during travels after the pandemic, another 30% were bought around my home, and the rest are my own EPs and some cherished pieces from the early days of my collection. Sorry if this doesn't explain the concept very well.
- Can you tell us about your approach to creating mixes?
I want to play any sound without hesitation, with respect for both nature and my own inner nature, embracing all emotions from joy to sorrow.
- What methods do you prefer when searching for new music? Do you still enjoy browsing for music in record stores, or have you come to prefer online purchases?
It's wonderful that in Tokyo, you can hear fresh music in various shops just by going for a walk. Friends who introduce you to cool music are all special. It's also fun to visit record shops as a form of entertainment. If I find something a bit pricey, I just check Discogs on the spot.
- Besides DJing, what stimulates your creativity?
Challenges and perseverance—going as far as possible.
- Do you have any advice for those looking to start a career as a DJ?
I believe embracing the spirit of freedom is the way to go.
- What plans do you have for 2024?
I am currently preparing for some significant changes in both my personal and professional life. I want to connect with children's hearts through music and art, so I'm laying the groundwork for that.
