■Comment from Takahiro Matsumoto
◇What is a live performance for Takahiro Matsumoto?
It’s a great place to grow as a musician. As you perform more and more live shows, your skills as a musician will improve, and ideas will start to come to you.
On the day of a live show, I always practice the setlist from beginning to end. Even if I’ve been playing a song for years, I sometimes make new discoveries, and sometimes I play it live differently than when I recorded it. I always think that something could be a little better.
