00:00:08.508 --> 00:00:12.178
What was the relationship between the Vietnam War and your practice?

00:01:48.233 --> 00:01:50.985
This, like, Japanese mentality,
but at the same time

00:01:50.985 --> 00:01:55.073
I have like an Western thing
happening in between.

00:01:55.156 --> 00:01:58.576
And when I first experienced their music,

00:01:58.660 --> 00:02:03.248
that was like ten years ago, 11 years ago,
something like that.

00:02:03.331 --> 00:02:06.918
And I\'m also coming from improvization,
like a background,

00:02:06.918 --> 00:02:10.922
kind of like a John Cage,
kind of like thing.

00:02:11.005 --> 00:02:14.300
And I thought,

00:02:14.384 --> 00:02:18.513
what they were doing
and was actually what I wanted to do.

00:02:18.596 --> 00:02:23.393
You know, like you\'re and individual,
and you have yourself,

00:02:23.476 --> 00:02:26.146
but at the same time
you are in a collective

00:02:26.146 --> 00:02:30.316
group like.

00:02:30.400 --> 00:02:38.116
How has the trip been so far?

00:02:38.199 --> 00:02:39.909
It\'s been quite fresh.

00:02:39.909 --> 00:02:40.451
It\'s fresh.

00:02:40.451 --> 00:02:49.794
Do you like translating?

00:02:49.794 --> 00:02:51.963
Do you like being an interpreter? No.

00:02:51.963 --> 00:02:55.258
Why not?

00:02:55.341 --> 00:03:00.471
I don\'t like taking responsibility
over anything, like that

00:03:00.555 --> 00:03:04.142
for people and for the translation.

00:03:04.267 --> 00:03:06.895
You always have to be also careful.

00:03:06.895 --> 00:03:13.610
Like, what\'s the words
they have behind their words, you know?

00:03:13.693 --> 00:03:15.945
Especially with Japanese people.

00:09:00.331 --> 00:09:03.334
You are meeting someone for the first time

00:09:03.501 --> 00:09:08.214
and you have small talk and they say,
what kind of music do you play?

00:09:08.297 --> 00:09:09.590
What do you say?

00:09:09.590 --> 00:09:11.300
Strange music.

00:12:23.993 --> 00:12:29.331
I think that we\'ve changed,
but he says that we haven\'t changed.
