Artist Profile
IAN KOJIMAJapanese Artist [IAN KOJIMA]
An ordinary young man
moves to Tokyo after graduating from university.
He begins his life in Tokyo searching for himself.
In the midst of his hectic life in Tokyo,
he suddenly wanders around India.
There he decides that "travel is life!"
and to live life to the fullest.
After returning to Japan,
the young man is looking for a new job when
he receives a job offer from a publishing company
where he knows someone.
It is a publishing company
where venture people gather.
Inspired by the spicy people around him,
the young man sets out on a journey to sing
and play all over Japan.
He sets off on July 4, 2000,
the day of the Declaration of Independence
in the United States,
and finishes his wandering journey of a year
and a half visiting every prefecture
on December 31, 2001.
During this time,
he has wild experiences surviving mainly
by hitchhiking,
sleeping rough,
and singing and playing on the street.
This experience awakened his latent creative spirit,
but due to the effects of survival life on the streets,
it took him many years to return to society.
During that time,
he continued to create small amounts of art
(music, painting, etc.)
Steadily and steadily...
Before he knew it,
he had created over 300 works.
Eventually, the young man found a credo.
"ART raises the emotional temperature by 1 degree"
Art amplifies the intensity of emotions.
Making a dull world interesting.
IAN KOJIMA's creative activities continue to this day.
Genre: J-Pop
