COVID-19. How did we conduct ourselves in response to the coronavirus, an invisible otherness, that abruptly appeared before our eyes?How are the two from moogabooga, who make a living by breathing life into objects in their animation, currently living and creating?

This time I was fortunate enough to visit FUJI|||||||||||TA and his partner Megumi Ishiwata, an artist, in Otsuki, Yamanshi, where they live together, and interview them. I have visited their place several times, and thinking about going there again brought me a sense of comfort.

I felt a strong urge to visit artists and directly hear them talk. Artist, Motoshi Tsuda. At his studio in Kobe, I asked him what he had been thinking about, and what he had been painting.

This time, we decided to catch up with musician, Kosuke Shimizu, who is active in projects such as mama!milk.

Surely, despite the current circumstances, these two are still in touch with music as if life has not changed.

As he travels around the country, Eiichiro Taruki sings in over 300 stages a year. Unable to do either activity, I wonder what his mind is up to now.

As an artist who absorbs the little joys and sorrows of everyday life, what could he be feeling? How does he gaze at the world? What kind of future does he envision?
