Masato Okano
My art is the bridge between art and music, between people, between me and the world.
The music tape I bought for the first time in my life was Iron Maiden. The reason I chose this music tape was because the cover art was awesome. I realized that the artwork of the music tape connected me and good music. At this time, I was aware of the power of art that can connect things.
Because my mother is musician and there is a music studio in my house, music is something like air for me and I met many musicians who have pure mind when I was a kid. I think this is the reason why it began to occur to me that I want to convey my art in the field of music.

Masaya Nakayama
Since he was young, he was obsessed to drawing by the influence of his father, who was an artist in his young age. His concept is the gap between purity and insanity. As a person learns the social mechanism and form one's characteristics, generating both contradiction and possibility, he projects the fragile hope that he finds in his own childhood. Now that the unclear peace theory is about to collapse, it is time to ask ourselves, whom don't know anything about the real war, what so-called "complacent with peace" really is. By using a paper called Mashi (hemp paper) as canvas, you will catch a glimpse of perfect purity of human existence through the natural white paper color peeking through the layers of bleeding pigments--
