A collaboration project between CHO CO PA CO CHO CO QUIN QUIN (hereinafter referred to as CHO CO PA) and the exhibition “Tanaka Isson: Light of Amami, Paintings of Soul” has been decided.
In March of this year, NHK General TV aired “Night Light Ride – Document 20 min.”, which showed CHO CO PA creating a song based on Tanaka Isson’s masterpiece “Pandanus Beach.” In May of the same year, they released a song with the same title as the painting, “Pandanus Beach.” This collaboration project was made possible as a result.
A special live video of the band performing the song “Adan no Umibe” in front of the real painting “Adan no Umibe,” which is on display at the “Tanaka Isson Exhibition: Light of Amami, Paintings of Soul,” which will be held at the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum from Thursday, September 19 to Sunday, December 1, will be recorded and released. This will be a rare attempt to have the band perform live in front of the work inside the exhibition room of the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum.
In addition, it has been decided that the song “Adan no Umibe” will be included as a soundtrack in the audio guide at the exhibition venue. You can enjoy the world of Tanaka Isson’s work more deeply while immersed in the music.
This exhibition is a major retrospective showcasing the entire career of Tanaka Isson (1908-1977), a painter who dedicated his life to the pursuit of his own art, from his childhood when he was called a child prodigy to his final works painted on Amami Oshima, the place where he died. Why not enjoy the worldview of Tanaka Isson along with the music of CHO CO PA through this project?
