What will be the situation in August as of this writing? Are the musicians back to work as usual? Are the stores open for business as usual? This Covid-19 pandemic may affect all of us for more than a year, and we will have to live with it according to our own ways of thinking and positions. The state of emergency was declared on April 7 and was extended to May, although there were hints that it would be mitigated to some extent depending on the situation. However, I was almost crossing the bounds and was even losing my attachment to playing music. It was honestly how I was. An old restaurant in Chofu has been closed due to the pandemic. The owner of the restaurant said, “I couldn’t see the future, and my heart was broken.”

I truly understand how he felt. I feel the same way as he does. Disheartened and unmotivated, “for what and for who” are we enduring this situation? I remember that I read a story about the late writer Hisashi Inoue in a newspaper after the Great East Japan Earthquake. It was the culture column of the Yomiuri Shimbun dated April 28, 2011. “People say, “Hold on, Japan. I believe in the power of Japan.” But Mr. Inoue may not have empathized with such words. Since wielding a cause was what he hated most.” “Mr. Inoue always spoke out what everyone thoughts were right, or what people thought wrong in their hearts but couldn’t speak out loud.” I can’t help but feel the present situation is something like that. What is the purpose of voluntary restraint, and furthermore, the establishment of a new normal of life?

However, people are all different and we all have different strengths and weaknesses, qualities and personalities (I hate the word “sense of values” though). I would like to say this out loud: people don’t live in prison camps, they live in a series of happenings. I’ve been really exhausted while going through this time with the self-restraint depression. We are still living in an unusual situation and there is still a fear of the second wave of coronavirus, but I feel that there is a brighter path back to our normal lives. I myself feel that this 3DAYS event at the Pit Inn is always something special to me, but this year, it will be even more special and I am thrilled to think of it as an important event. I am a musician and all I can do it to prove something with my music rather than words. I would like to thank all the musicians who have agreed to play during this 3DAYS event in spite of the current difficult circumstances. I am grateful for your support and hope to make this 3DAYS my opportunity to convey something important via my music.

– Takaya Honda
