The answers from Ichiro Yamaguchi of Sakanaction, Takahiro Sai of bonobos, Shigeru Kishida of Quruli, Keiichi Sokabe of Sunny Day Service, and Hiroto Komoto of The Cro-Magnons. Bands are mysterious. Even though they don't usually meet, or even seem to be that close, when they make music together, your heart trembles and won't stop. A middle school student who just bought a guitar yesterday looks somehow, for some reason, proud just because they "formed a band." At their peak, they can easily disband for some reason and become a legend. A collective of humans that, at one moment, bonds harder than a diamond, yet is fragile enough to fall apart with the impact of an eraser dropped on the floor. To find out the answer to the question of what exactly is the charm and mystery of a "band," interviews with the frontmen of five bands have been compiled into one book.
