Please introduce yourself.
This is FUJI.
He's not in a band or a singer-songwriter, it's a solo project.
Please tell us what inspired you to start making music.
Originally, I started by uploading my music to SoundCloud, without even knowing what my name was.
I decided to release a collection of music once I had finished a few songs, and released my first album in the winter of 2021.
Tell us about your latest release.
"Mismatched Prayers"
I started working on this project because I wanted to create a choral piece.
I believe that a choir is the only thing that can repel the apocalyptic atmosphere that is currently spreading.
As in the past, I was in charge of almost all the instruments, programming, and mixing by myself, but I had Yukichi Kasaku/men and fuki (iVy/cephalo) join me on the chorus, and by clearly communicating my intentions and entrusting them to others, I think I was able to output the music in an appropriate way.
What are your favorite clothing brands?
I've always been interested in clothes.
I usually wear OUR LEGACY or Maison Margiela on top, Dickies double knee and Vans Authentic.
I think I prefer clothes that are not complete on their own, but have enough room to be influenced by the person wearing them.
I have been wearing the brands mentioned above for about 7-8 years now because I feel that they have stylish designs, regardless of the size of the brand.
Rather than relying on the iconic power of the product to do anything, I think the ideal thing would be to achieve something by multiplying it with the aura that emanates from the human being (although I think Margiela is the brand that is currently suffering the most from self-promotion).
Naturally, the same is true for music, and I strongly believe that music should exude the aura of the artist, rather than resting on its laurels, wearing designs that have been archived for a long time.
It was the first time that I talked about something that wasn't directly related to music, such as my favorite brands, but I thought that by conveying "why this person likes this," it might help promote understanding of the song or project.
It's always fun to talk about things you like, so I hope I can share that in this way as well.
Please let me know if there are any future announcements.
Regarding FUJI's activities, several live shows have been scheduled for the summer.

I prepare different gimmicks for each live performance, so I would like to continue expanding the range of expression in the future.
