TAWINGS and Ken Kagami's love story.

As the famous song goes, "Gender problems are always troublesome," the more complicated a relationship between a man and a woman becomes, the more bogged down it becomes. When the elements of music and art are involved, it is already difficult. Do we direct our love toward others or do we put it into expressive activities? On a day at the beginning of March when the cherry blossoms began to bloom, we had a serious (?) discussion about such issues with Ken Kagami, a contemporary artist, and the members of "TAWINGS," a three-piece girl rock band that he is currently interested in. We had a serious (?) discussion about such issues.

It works better when we have compassion for each other.

Do you have any questions for Mr. Kagami or TAWINGS?

Yurika:May I start? Sometimes I think that when men are in love, they don't seem to be having much fun . I feel like they seem somewhat bored. I don't understand that. Girls seem to have fun when they are in a relationship, but .

Kagami:Boys, you know, are basically dirty. I don't think it's a good idea to put everything away with that.

Yurika:I've been thinking a lot lately that there's no reason for a man to stay with the same person forever.

Kagami:I have known my current wife since we were 18 years old, and as we build our relationship, other connections emerge. For example, living together, getting married, having children, etc. .

 

You said that change is coming.

Kagami:Yes. In this way, both of us can see what we need to protect. This is how the two of you can see what you need to protect, and how you can share the same issues. What is important here is the feeling of consideration for each other. That should not change no matter how long you have been together.

 

Do you mean that as a result, after many years of being together, it is no longer a romantic relationship?

Kagami:It changes somewhat from the beginning of a relationship, doesn't it? Of course, I'm sure there are exceptions. Some people are in love with each other all the time for many years.

Cony:But the change is wonderful, isn't it? Isn't that important, isn't it? And the relationship after marriage.

Kagami:. It's not enough if you think that way on your own. It is important that we share the same values. Especially the values of what is wrong with things. As long as they are close, even if they fight, I don't think it will be a big deal.

  

Kagami:Also, for example, if you help someone with a task when they seem to be busy, you would usually get a "thank you". When you do so, you usually get a "thank you" from them. Don't you think it is very important to say something like that? It may be a small thing, but it is nice to have that kind of communication.

TAWINGS:Lovely~♡♡♡

 

. So you are saying that there is courtesy in familiarity.

Kagami:Oh, yes. I think in many cases it works out well when both parties have that kind of compassion for each other. I can't say for sure, though. Human beings are always the most protective of themselves, no matter what. However, I think the secret of a successful couple is to be conscious of each other.

Cony:It really is. People who can say thank you are wonderful.
