―As a future development, for example, ANDY may change when drawn in Nagano?

Matsumoto: ANDY was born in the United States, so the background is strong, but I think it will change as I have more opportunities to draw in Japan. Is it up to my life? Actually, the taste is changing little by little. Characters have a lot of regulation, but I don't have to dare fix their own series, and I don't think it's necessary to apply too much brakes.

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

Matsumoto: That's right. I would be happy if everyone could share the fun even if they didn't touch much art before.

―What do you think if Mr. Matsumoto watched this exhibition from the perspective of others?

Matsumoto: It's fun! Yeah. I don't think there are such exhibitions in such places, not museums or galleries. In the sense that you can see it with an easy feeling. Is it art? Is it an illustration? Is it a design? I would be glad if you could see it without thinking too much.

―Why isn't it categorized by yourself?

Matsumoto: There was a time when I was worried about thinking that art must be like this, but in the end I was able to switch my feelings only by drawing and displaying what I thought was good. That's why you can think of it, so I want you to enjoy this world view.
