Sensibility ‘The moment the lid came off’ -- Iolite vol. 5 Editorial postscript

Editor's Note ‘The moment the lid came off’

On 13 September, I was photographed and interviewed for the November issue. I wanted to get the emotion down into a manuscript, so I'm writing this manuscript in the heat of the moment on the night of the event.

As you know, guitarist MIYAVI graced the cover of this issue.

I had been imagining the interview for a few days and reading the book he wrote. The first impression I had when I read the book was that his face as an artist and his face as the artist's manager seem to coexist within him. I also wanted to dig deeper through the interview into the keyword ‘freedom’, which appeared multiple times in his book and left a strong impression on me.
