I would like to continue to be the one who beats next to Mr. Sato's music.
I think it is partly because there were people who agreed with that idea that the crowdfunding was a success and the film was made. Fans want to see the film, and they want to know about it.
Mogi:I was also happy about the crowdfunding. I wondered how many people would agree and participate, but that many people are ...... amazing.
MIU:If you had made the documentary at the time of your activities, it would have had a different feel. I think that because of this time, there are aspects of the documentary film that resonate today. I feel like I know what I am doing now after watching the film, but if I watch it 3 or 5 years from now, I wonder how I will perceive it in a different way. I was given so much, and I felt I had to give it back to them.
Mogi:Any more thoughts on this? (Laughs) . I'm already too happy. I'm really glad I've been playing all these years.
. For our part, we are filled with gratitude for continuing to play the sound of Fishmans.
Mogi:I can only say that I'm really glad I did it. Even if I were just a music lover instead of a musician, I probably would have fallen in love with Fishmans and spread the word (laughs). Even if I worked at a company, I would have said at a company party, "Hey, everyone, listen to this. There's a group you all need to hear." . I think I would have been that active.
You are the biggest fan of the group as a member (laughs).
Mogi:I love it!
Mr. Mogi, while you were there, the situation surrounding Fishmans became more and more serious when watching the film, didn't it? The members and Mr. ZAK left one after another. But only Mogi stayed on. Why is that?
Mogi:I thought I was able to organically intertwine with "Camp in the Air" and "Long Season" both as a member and as a drummer. However, with "Space Japan Setagaya," I felt that I could not come up with any great ideas even though I was a member of the band. However, I don't think that I had to quit just because of that. There was music to be delivered, and even if I couldn't get involved, I knew from listening to the music that it was of great value. For example, in one song, "IN THE FLIGHT," it is true that I could not get involved in the song as a drummer. But I always wanted to bring this great song to everyone through live performances. I knew that the band members had to do their best to make that happen.
. So, there was no choice at all to leave Fishmans' music. Sato will continue to make new songs, and if he says, "I want to seek out the possibilities of other drummers" with the new songs he continues to make, that may not be a problem. In my mind, I have always had the feeling that I would like to continue to be the one who beats next to Sato-kun on his music. I honestly saw no reason for me to leave the project. This is the first time I have ever said something like this.
I could really feel the love and respect you have for Mr. Sato.
Mogi:I really love him already. . I'm not exaggerating, he really is the best songwriter I've ever met. I can't find a reason to quit when I meet someone like that.
. You said in the movie that you would like to continue to do so.
Mogi:By continuing to play, we were given the chance to perform at "Fuji Rock" and "Rising Sun", weren't we? If Mr. Sato were still alive and Fishmans were still going, it would definitely be a sight to see. If Sato was alive and well, he would be the absolute leader of the Green Stage. I really want to see the scenery that Sato-kun should see with my own eyes, even if it is only for him.
And the next time I see Sato, I want to tell him that I saw him and said, "Sato-chan, Fuji Rock was amazing. I also want to tell him about today, "I met you guys, we had this talk today, and I love Sato-chan's music, and I love karaoke, and kids much younger than us are singing "Chance" and "Everyday Every Night" in the year 2021. How about this? I want to tell them, "How about this? That's what I want to talk to Mr. Sato about. For me, this may be the moment to make a movie.
I would love to see you do a live concert this year!
MIU:I want to bathe in it (laughs). Fishmans sound!
Mogi:I need to get her to listen to live music. When I was talking with miu-chan earlier, I was shaken when I heard that she likes live music. I was shaken when I heard that she really likes live performances.
MIU:I would like to have a friend who I can go to live concerts with. I go everywhere by myself, so I don't have many friends I can go with. ......
Come with us! Today we are all Fishman's friends!
MIU:Yes, let's go! (Laughs)
Mogi:I wish we could all come together! If now were not the world of Corona, I would say, "We're all going out for a drink today!" I would say (laughs).
MIU:. because sometimes it's lonely to go home after a concert and bask in the afterglow by myself (laughs). I still want to talk about it!
Mogi:Wow, I want to drink here already! (LOL)
