The following is an interview question and answer.

? Musician (pianist), please tell me did you aim.
It was a meeting with me to take piano lessons at age five is my mother. The musicians began to aim, and that led to the high school formed a band.

? Jazz piano and I thank you a brief description of what genre.
Each of the people "theory of jazz," I think that there is something that's called jazz think I am, for the theme song to my own songs and you are an existing Iki evolved to improvise from there , the improvisation is a big part, I think music like that. Since it is difficult to say a word and those who are interested, please come to the live experience.

? Experience the most impressive musical career so far what.
Music by the environment and I feel my will that they shall be subject to independent. Australia and Japan not only to the same song in different sounds, different music can be air or by a person of the place, it is impressive.
? You surprised by Ryudo Uzaki's played with and are there any established artist.
Everyone has an aura. The singing and playing, I felt the sensation of life to hear it.

? But I lived in Australia for 11 years, it was good to keep what is living abroad.
(The Australian), so multi-ethnic country, now that good for me to meet people from different countries. For example, when I met the taxi driver came from Afghanistan, "Afghanistan is a country like this" tell-dimensional voice and live on TV ... and that means more than anything else great to hear different voices of the real I thought. And musically, it has a chance to play with people from various countries could also be a feeling that frequently travel lightly.

• The three "Toraisoniku" Please tell me did you decide to organize.
Jazz at the owner's house "Please once collaborated with Sugimoto," and suggested that it did. The opportunity together, listening to the sound Why do we "finally find the music I wanted my partner" I felt. The largest was the clincher with a combination of Keyaki Hiroshi Sugimoto's. I really appreciate. The band made music that wishes not only played three.
? "Toraisoniku" Please tell me it's music to tell.
Different in the sense of "freedom" to think that asking for the music. Or areas not yet seen, so we start to believe it, I am happy to listen if you can dream of their prominence.

? Is that the South Korean citizens, you have been to Korea.
Yet. There is much desire to go if you go through the music at least. I am also interested in my roots, of course. Go play overseas, so it can go directly into the scene and the local people, I like to feel as the journey itself is more meaningful. Since the first half of next year is planned to debut Korea, looking forward to it.
