I realized that there were almost no interview articles in print in a cohesive form so far, so I decided to plan a long interview with Uchida. I felt that leaving the discourse of
"Shinnosuke Uchida in 2020" for posterity was of great significance. This time, I decided to thoroughly delve into a rare artist named Shinnosuke Uchida.

However, the new coronavirus raged all over the world, and Japan is no exception, and the government declared a state of emergency in the spring of 2020. May 4th in the midst of that. Due to the government's request to refrain from going out, I decided that it would be difficult to have a face-to-face interview with Shinnosuke Uchida.

 

I applied to Uchida for an online interview using "zoom" and it was approved.

 

Uchida achieved a 12-hour online distribution of games, drawing, drinking free talk, etc. called "Uchida DAY" the day before. Although the lingering sound did not awaken, he did not feel tired at all and was willing to respond to the interview.

Uchida's manga live painting has been temporarily stopped while the activities of people all over the world are greatly restricted by the new coronavirus whirlpool, but even in such a situation, her activities as a creator artist are steady. However, it is definitely proceeding.

 

A valuable interview that felt the enthusiasm of Shinnosuke Uchida

The interviews were conducted in a relaxed atmosphere from beginning to end, as they were at home with each other. Uchida also has the face of a radio personality, and responded to my questions with a first-class speech technique in a light tone without stagnation.

Of course, in very straightforward and serious words with a passion as an artist. As the saying goes, "Frankness and honesty in an interview is rightly proportional to the talent of the artist."

I would be more than happy as a writer if the readers could get to know the existence of Shinnosuke Uchida and feel her charm as much as possible. Below, I will post an interview article with Shinnosuke Uchida, but since the amount is large, I will send it in several times. Please forgive me.

 

Recent status of Shinnosuke Uchida

 

About overseas expedition in 2020

 

――The recorder can record for 40 hours continuously, but ... I don't do it for that long.

Shinnosuke Uchida (Uchida) I won't do it! (Lol)

――Well, you don't do it (laughs)

Uchida: Well, I won't do it. I'm dead.

--Well, then, I'm looking forward to working with you. Yes.

Uchida: Thank you. Yes.

――You were supposed to go to Germany this year, right?

Uchida Yes. I was planning to do that. The event I was planning to go to was postponed to September. Well, September may be difficult too. But I want to go if I can.

 

Counter punch to the new coronavirus

--Miss. Uchida has recently been acting as a flag-bearer for Art Street Tokyo's T-shirt sales because of the "New Coronavirus Infectious Disease Spread Prevention Activity Fund / Artist Support Project", but this is ... ??

Uchida: It's a project that was originally launched by a T-shirt printing company who spoke to me at the Design Festa that came out last November. I got a voice from there and I was ... I wasn't the leader, but the printing company didn't do much SNS. I was doing a lot of activities, so I feel like I'm sending it out for the time being.

――Well, it feels like you've taken the lead. It's good that it spreads well.

Uchida: That's right. I also talk to artists I know on Twitter and LINE. It feels like it's expanding from there, so I'm very grateful.

――It's wonderful, isn't it?

Uchida: It's a very good project, isn't it?

――It's also socially significant. The artist is also helpful.

Uchida: That's right. When an artist makes a basic T-shirt, he often pays for printing and body, but in this project, the artist doesn't pay anything. I have nothing to pay. It's a system where all you have to do is submit a picture and the printing company will do everything with that data, 10% of the sales will be donated, 35% will go back to the artist, and the rest will go to the printing company. I think it's really good for artists.

――Happiness will be distributed to everyone with a good feeling. All right.

Uchida: Yeah. It's a plus for everyone.

--Yup. Great.

Uchida: That's right. I think it's a good idea.

 

Top Runner's mission

As a result, Uchida's "New Coronavirus Infectious Disease Spread Prevention Fund / Artist Support Project". This activity is reminiscent of the success of Michael Jackson's 1985 charity song "We Are The World" for the relief of African hunger, which was performed by a total of 45 famous musicians in the United States.

After all, do those who are at the forefront of the times and artists who live with the times have a common thought, action, or mission?

From the next time, I will send you an article about Shinnosuke Uchida as a "manga live painter" from various angles.
