First there was the blues. Without the blues, there would be no rock and roll, no soul, and no jazz. When our generation was young, we were mostly influenced by the Rolling Stones, and we became interested in R&B and blues, which had a deep influence on them. Blues, which is now considered to be music of the past, is actually a timeless important cultural property.

Peter and I are two years apart. Although they were born and raised far apart in London and Tokyo, they share a common background: they fell in love with the Animals and the Rolling Stones when they heard it on the radio, and from there they fell in love with the blues. Maybe that’s why when we talk together, it’s always a good session, even if the topics are different, such as music or movies. This time, the theme is “Blues”, which I have always wanted to do. There was no script at all, and the sessions involved each other choosing the songs. It’s going to be a great night.
