Tatsuya Kitani Comment
Music has a softness and depth that allows for various words, self-expression, and imagination. I have been saved as a listener by music, which is a vessel that contains a wide variety of lives, and I have also been saved as a creator by presenting music that contains my life to others. I think it would be great if we could all approach music in this way, rather than alone.
Participant entries began at 10:00 on Wednesday, October 2nd, and a new web commercial starring Tatsuya Kitani about this project was also released on the same day.
