シンガポール行き、は初めてです。ましてや歌えるなんて、なんという楽しみだろうか。シンガポールの音楽シーンで強い牽引力となり、その持ち前の明るさと一緒に、多くのGIGを駆け抜けてらっしゃる 関根綾 AyaSekine(p)さんとのDUOです。大変楽しみ。サイゴンに住んであと1ヶ月程で2年になりますが、そう恵まれた環境とはいえない音楽シーンのなかでも、何回かのGIGを通してはっきり感じた事があります。楽器と日本語とが絶妙なサウンドを融合、クリエイトした時、言葉の壁を破って、日本語を知らない、様々な言語を使う人達にも大きななにかが伝えられるという事。それは様々な国のお客様、ミュージシャンの反応から教えられた事です。英語で歌うと同時に、日本語でも歌う......日本で歌うときとは又異にする言語との混沌のなか、大きな励みになっています。その殆どをシンガポールで育ち、音楽をやってきた綾さんとの共演、体調整え臨みたい。そうそう、お洒落しても、行きたい。
