However, I feel that this isolation is also strange. Most of my international projects are collaboration works and I travel around all over the world with a large-scale team like THE END.
I believed that my piano solo would be the result of self-checking and habits. But I realized that it may be unconscious resistance or expression of attitude against homogenization which goes underneath my country,.

The piano is like mirror, it doesn’t only reflect myself but also the surroundings. And sometimes light comes into that reflection.
This end of the year, rather than being on my own, but not clustered, I wanted to try to play with both strikingly individual towering artists.
Performances have quite different contents in the matinee and Soiree:
It will feature Naruyoshi Kikuchi as a guest in the matinee from 4pm and in the Soiree from 7pm, the dance of Mirai Moriyama will be performed.
Sax is co-starring the musical instrument that makes sound, on the other side, dance has not other sound than the sound rubbing the breath or the floor.
There will be also improvised part where I will play my own songs, but there may be standard, I think I want to go back and forth them seamlessly.
I hope you to experience the isolation of each of us condensed in the one space of the Terada warehouse.
