Great to have you guys back. Tell us what inspired you to create 初代議長, a film that delves into the world of competitive music and the sacrifices it entails?

It’s always hard to say exactly what inspired 初代議長. Sometimes ideas strike us as interesting before we know why we thought of them. この場合, it must have to do with the fact that we’ve both been playing in a band since fourth grade, and there’s a unique environment in music that puts pressure on us to decide where we place our value. Both of us have been first chair before, and that’s something that caused us a lot of feelings of insecurity. But I think we also used the metaphor of music school to express some deeper ideas. In some ways, 初代議長 comes from our experience in elementary school. But that might take a few more therapy sessions to fully explain.

Can you share some insights into the creative process behind the story and character development, especially the protagonist’s dilemma of choosing between passion and ambition?

何度も, we have sat in a practice room with the intention of practicing our instrument, but we often get lost in something else that we enjoy more. You could just call it procrastination, but we think there’s something more interesting going on. Sometimes moments like these are what force us to realize that we are avoiding the things we most love in the name of success. We built 初代議長 around the concept of a test. The whole story serves as a test of Jin’s allegiance. The character of Nathan was designed to put fuel on the fire of Jin’s internal struggle. 最終的に, she has to choose whether to follow her joy or her pride.

初代議長 addresses the theme of competition and sacrifice in the pursuit of excellence. What message or emotions do you hope the audience takes away from your film?

Jin is a character in pursuit of musical excellence, which is an objectively good thing, but the reason why she is pursuing excellence is perhaps not so pure. We hope 初代議長 can help our audience consider the deeper motives behind the various things we do in life. We have to be careful that we aren’t pursuing things out of a self-centered desire to feel valued.

If someone is struggling in one’s career and passion, which can be a conflict, what do you suggest?

I think we would both first suggest talking to someone more worthy of answering this question, but maybe it’s worth asking: “Is your lack of passion in your career caused by a deeper love of something else (like singing for Jin) or merely by boredom or procrastination? There’s no doubt in our minds that the world would be a better place if more people found joy in their vocation.

Thanks Guys!
