Recreating those days in the 1980s with friends who like the late Showa period.
Takano: I have heard rumors that you are a drummer.
Risa:Originally, it was The Beatles that made me fall in love with music. It was also because my parents were listening to them, and that is how I started playing drums. After this, we have studio practice again today.
Takano: Playing in a band?
Risa: I also play in a band.
Celeina: Cool!
Takano: Do you have a sound source?
Risa: We used to release a few sound files in the past, but not recently, so we would like to do so in the future.
Celeina：Does the band all have a retro-pop feel?
Risa:Yes. The band is more like 1960s Western music.
Celeina：It’s The Red Album.
Takano: It’s definitely not The Blue Album.
Celeina： I would love to hear it. Are the photos you post on Instagram also your works of art?
Risa:Yes, they are. I have friends who love the Showa era and are good with hair, makeup, and cameras, so we get together at home and take pictures using these items as props.
Celeina：You just mentioned these things, but we also have materials and magazines from the 1970s and 1980s that you bring to the studio.
Risa: We also have records, cassette tapes, and walkmans.
Takano: “Deluxe Shonen Magazine”?
Risa: I love Akina Nakamori, and this is one of my favorite magazines with pinups.
Takano: Where do you find it?
Risa: Secondhand bookstores in Jimbocho. They have all kinds of things.
