【Interview with MAN WITH A MISSION who completed the live recording】
・This time, we showed us acoustic LIVE, so please tell us how you feel after the LIVE.
That was really fun. It was a very valuable experience for us. I didn’t come here with sound equipment, but I am grateful to have a big and beautiful live concert here. thank you very much.
・Please tell us the key points and awareness of song selection for this live performance.
In terms of songs, we released a new album a few days ago, so we will release new songs and also incorporate old songs into them. The world is in a tough place like Corona, so we chose and delivered songs that are sure to be remembered by all.
・ MAN WITH A MISSION has engaged in various musical activities in the disaster area. If you have any unforgettable episodes with the locals, please let us know.
As for the Northeast, I am very grateful for the festival. I really deepen my connection through music. Of course, we also tried to do something, hoping to help a little bit, but the locals were more energetic than we thought.
I think it’s because of that mindset that we’ve been able to get back to where we are now.
・What do you think of this project, which is performed live and distributed at iconic locations in the domestic region?
I think this is a really great project. The past few years have been a very painful time for people in the music industry. The possibility of offering this (live) is greatly realized, while the entertainment of attracting customers to a place called live and enjoying it takes a hit. In this project, we are excited to be part of this project, which is more thoughtful than delivering music together in a special place.
・The theme of “Let’s go with music” is “spreading places and charms you didn’t know”. Please tell us where you want to go as MAN WITH A MISSION and where you want to spread the charm.
There are so many. But like this time, I want to go to a place that is not a big city, and it is difficult for us to go. Japan is full of beautiful places, and it’s great that people gather and liven up in these places. We also want to go to as many places like this as possible.
・ This time, a live concert will be held at “Miracle Ikonmatsu Hall”, but after Miracle Ikonmatsu,
Please tell us if there has been an event in your life as an artist that you consider “a miracle”.
We’ve been making music for 12 years, and it feels like a miracle to have customers come to see us. It’s a miracle that we make music in front of such a variety of people.
・In this project, we also spread “Rikuzentakata’s Now”, which began to walk actively.
Tell us about your future challenges and prospects for MAN WITH A MISSION.
To be honest, no matter how much it changes, not much has changed in what we do. We are always chasing the music we want to play and the scenery we want to see. This time, we are delighted to host an acoustic-style live concert in such a place. I want to do this kind of live concert together again.
・Please leave a comment for all fans who participated in “Let’s go to the music of au 5G LIVE”.
thank you all. I think (“Let’s go with music”) is a great project. We are really honored to be part of this project as musicians.
While the live format we and we all know has not returned to 100%, this project that allows us to continue to enjoy music with new values and ways is a very inspiring project for us.
I’m sure its content has the potential to offer something more and new for everyone, so I hope you enjoy it.
