―As a future development, for example, if ANDY is drawn in Nagano, may it change?

Matsumoto: Since ANDY was born in the United States, the background is strong, but I think it will change because there are more opportunities to draw in Japan. Does that depend on my life? In fact, the taste is changing a little by little. Characters have a lot of regulations, but I don't have to worry about fixing my series, and I don't have to put too much brakes on it.

―Finally, again, this "Fun!" exhibition seems to be able to enjoy various ways from the angle of view, regardless of men and women of all ages.

Matsumoto: That's right. I would be happy if everyone who has not touched much on art before can share the fun together.

―If Mr. Matsumoto saw this exhibition from someone else's point of view, how do you feel?

Matsumoto: It's fun! To. Do you think there is such an exhibition in such a place, not in museums or galleries? In the sense that you can see it with ease. Art? Is it an illustration? The design? It would be nice if you could see it without thinking too much.

―Why aren’t you categorized yourself?

Matsumoto: There was a time when I was worried about thinking that art should be like this, but in the end I was able to switch my feelings by focusing only on drawing and displaying what I thought was good. So, whatever you think, I hope you enjoy this world view.
