We spoke to StampApiwat and H_R_S_H about their recent collaboration, views on the current music scenes in their respective countries, future goals and more.
Now, that I'd love to hear. [Laughs]
FIVE NEW OLD has performed in Thailand a number of times after you met Stamp. What's your impression of the Thai music scene, Hiroshi?The sense I got from performing alongside local bands in clubs and music festivals is that Thailand is also up-to-date on current global music trends. Stamp tells me that hip-hop is also big in his country, and I noticed that many of the bands in the lineup in festivals played music that would be categorized as "city pop" in Japan.
The same can be said of Japan as well. Within this context, Japanese bands and hip-hop acts have been making their way into Asian markets in recent years. Politically, tensions between Japan and South Korea have been escalating again lately and there are other countries that don't necessarily get along, but the cultural exchange in music among the younger generation is definitely encouraging.I think the world has been growing more and more divided since Trump became president of the U.S.
perform at Summer Sonic three years ago. We took a photo together backstage, which I uploaded to my Instagram. He texted me when I was on my way home and we've kept in touch since. It'd be interesting to hear what you, Hiroshi and Christopher could come up with together in the studio someday.Are there are any projects that you'd like to work on together down the road?If Stamp and FIVE NEW OLD and other Asian acts could tour North America and Europe together, that'd be really encouraging.I'd like to incorporate more Japanese sounds into my music. I think it might be interesting to ask Shun, the bassist of FIVE NEW OLD, to produce on my next album.
