Where are they now?

In 2015, #KokiTanaka and I exchanged works with each other. We decided that the works we would exchange are #sentences that we will #write with each other in mind. I wrote, The first thing you saw and the last thing you will hear. He wrote, Touching the surface you love and remembering the texture you feel. #HemanChong @koki.tanaka #Exchange (at Vitamin Creative Space) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQpec0VFJou/?utm_medium=tumblr

Koki Tanaka 1975- History is written from someone else’s perspective, someone you don’t know. Making our own history requires each of us to rewrite it from our own point of view (2010)

Provisional Studies: Workshop #7 How to Live Together and Sharing the Unknown Koki Tanaka  Skulptur Projekte 2017 “Tanaka brings people together in unaccustomed situations that are often unsettling. In these unusual collective moments, he tests the possibility of defying existing routines. The documentary footage that was produced in these situations and workshops serves in various forms as the basis for his multichannel video installations.”

2016.7.10(Sun) INKT SUMMER CIRCUIT LIVE 2016 produced by Kei Part 2

Have to write it before tomorrow otherwise memory overlap. LOL.

You can check the first part here.

Kei said it was very nervous today. Even when he was playing Flower of Life, he kept thinking about "okay..so what's the lyrics for BASKET CASE? What should I do later? Is there anything I forgot?" Koki then said, "you had too much distracting thought!!!" LOL.

SASSY then said he was the same last week (being nervous). Basically he thought about MC for 80% of the time and the guitar he had to play for 20%. Kei was like "nothing for drum?" LOL.

Kei said that every time he tweeted things about live, fans always RT with "I'm going today! Very looking forward to it!" or "I can't go today but I will send my support!" However, for Kei Day all he got was "I can't go but please ganbatte!" LOL. So he was worried about the turnout. Kei was like what if people came just for the rin-chan t-shirt? Like they came to buy the t-shirt and then just went home. LOL. Koki then said, "that's cruel!!" Koki "then next time we will sell cat for goods." LOL. Seriously rin-chan is soooooooooo cute though!!!!

Then Kei was like "should we go to the next song? But I don't want to go yet." OMG Kei was just too cute!!! Kei asked mACKAz "do you have anything to say?" mACKAz "It's your day, Kei Day." Kei "You are also part of Kei Day!!" Cuz they kept saying "Kei Day" then Koki was like "how difficult it is to say Kei Day!!" LOL. Kei "I know right!!! I was very hesitated, too!! SASSY Day, mACKAz Day, KOKI Day, they all sound fine but Kei Day is difficult to say!!"

Seriously the talk was so long and so relaxing Koki was like "is it okay that we have this kind of lazy live?" Kei "well...why not? it's nice to have this kind of live sometimes." Koki "well..this is INKT!" Kei "this is ALSO INKT!!! Don't say this is INKT! That's sad!" LOL. Koki "yeah...this is ALSO INKT!!" Too cute!

I think maybe Kei was nervous or feeling a little weird to be in the center so during the last section of the songs he kind of stepped back and let Koki to be in the front. However, I think Koki also paid very careful attention to the members and make sure he didn't take too much spotlight from them on their days. I just really love their balance!!!

There was no HELL NO rap for FTW. Also I felt guitar's note was a little different. It was a good twist!!! I wonder if Kei will do it again :)

During The Gift, Koki all of sudden shouted English asking us to sing louder. LOL. He was like "one more time! one more time! not enough! Motherfucker!" (with good pronunciation :p)

Encore started with Keizap (Kei's diet. It's a play of word on a diet program in Japan called RIZAP) and everyone came out but Kei. Koki "if you pay attention to twitter, you know that Kei was trying to diet. Ever since we met, he has gradually increased his weight." LOL Koki "then during the two-man lives back in Feb/Mar he has reached his highest. He increased his weight by 7? kg in only one month!!! He was like increasing 1kg every four days!!"

Then Kei came out with black scarf covered his whole body!!!!! kya~~~~~~~~ Koki "is it okay? you are not completed naked underneath the scarf right?" mACKAz "why not?" LOL.

They had two photo card boards one with the photo Kei posted on blog (of him showing his belly) and another one with him weighting 72kg. Kei "to be honest for people my height, this weight is normal I think. However, no matter how much I gain weight, it doesn't show on my arms or legs." Koki "same here!" Kei "like a kid! just belly!" LOL.

Then they weighted him on stage and Kei weights 60.9kg!!!!!!! That's 12kg!!!! In one month!!!! Everyone was so surprised!!!!! Is that even healthy? LOL. To be honest I don't even know why he started this project in the first place. LOL.

Finally Kei took off the scarf (yes he didn’t wear a shirt but he was wearing pants. LOL.) and omg seriously he became so thin!!!!!!!! Kei said that he basically didn't eat any carbohydrates. If he was hungry, he drank diet protein. Koki was like "wow! you are really thin!! If I were this thin, seriously everyone would really think I do drug and has me tested all the time." LOL.

Kei said that after SASSY DAY he got a lot of comments saying he looked a lot thinner so he got carried away and ate a lot after the live. He gained 3kg within two days. He was like OH NO! and then ate nothing later to reduce weights again (seriously was it even healthy? LOL.). Koki was like on this pace Kei will go back to before within a week. LOL.

Some fans shouted "Kei looks better now!" WHAT!?!? Kei was like "really? ummm...... it's difficult to keep" Then Koki shouted "I don't want to see Kei eating salad only!!!!" YES!!! Kei is too thin now!!! Good job, Koki!!!! LOL.

Kei then started to complain that we were being very mean during his diet period and always RT him with food photos. Yeah...I think I did that a couple times...(I'm sorry..:p). Members were mean, too especially Koki always sent him LINE message of food he ate. LOL.

mACKAz was like "but you reduced weights with no exercise, right?" Koki "that's right." LOL. Koki "let's gain weight with muscles together!" YES!!!! btw, Koki said he gained 4kg. FINALLY!!!!!

mACKAz was like "so what's the most difficult thing during diet period?" Kei "You!!!!" LOL Kei "Usually mACKAz never invited me to go drinking/eating but during diet period mACKAz kept inviting me to go drinking/eating a lot!!!! What's that about!?!?" mACKAz "I was testing you if you can hold it!!! I was trying to act like your parent to challenge you!!!" Koki "mACKAz was trying to act like your parent and I was trying to act like your child." Kei "Uh? I have no idea what you are talking about." Koki "Everytime I sent you message on me eating is a way telling you I am doing well! I eat well! Don't worry! See! I am being a nice son." LOL. Seriously I couldn't stop laughing.

mACKAz "so actually SASSY is the nicest among us." Kei & SASSY "well....." SASSY "actually I think I was doing the same thing to Kei-san as well with my SASSYLOG(the food review he is doing on blog). I think Kei-san and I have similar interest on dessert." Kei "yes!! Your blog is horrible!! It always makes me hungry!" SASSY "yeah.. I think I am also like Kei-san. I will die without chocolate." Koki "yeah...don't worry. I really don't think you will die without chocolate." LOL. OMG seriously too cute.

Kei then said that he did well with this diet because the protein shake is chocolate flavor. If not, he really couldn't do it (cuz according to Kei, he must has chocolate every day. LOL). On the other hand, Kei had no ice cream at all the whole time. Koki then was surprised, "really? I think I have ice cream every day, even in the winter." Kei "why?????" This is the funny part cuz Kei asked why and I was like cuz it's delicious! (I love ice cream :p) The second I said that Koki then answered "cuz it's delicious!" LOL. Feel connected. LOL.

First song of encore is the shuffle song, "My First Kiss." You can read more about the shuffle song on my last repo here. Seriously Koki was just toooooooooooo cute while playing bass!!!! And this time he also joined the chorus singing "chu~~~." Too cute!!! After the song, Koki was like he couldn't help himself but to sing the chorus but after he sang, he forgot how to move his fingers. LOL. Don't worry! We couldn’t tell :p

Kei then talked about next week is mACKAz Day so he wanted him to say something. mACKAz was like "yeah...umm...you know...next week is that...oh well..never mind." We were like uhhhh????? mACKAz "that day!!!" It was mACKAz's birthday! :) Kei "oooohhh.. that!! yeah...the anniversary of you coming to Tokyo, right?" Kei "that's a lie by the way." LOL. Koki "anniversary for coming to Tokyo? never heard of it!!" LOL I'm so looking forward to celebrate mACKAz's birthday!!!!

Then I think someone was asking Kei's boxer and mACKAz said "Kei's boxer has panda illustration." Fans "we can't see!!!! we want to see!!!" Koki "what can't you see?" Fans "Kei's boxer!!!!" Koki "are you guys idiots?" LOL. Koki "sorry that I called you guys idiots but wanting to see Kei's boxer? LOL."

Last song was Shangri-la. Perfect for ending this live. Everyone was waving their hands and heads and everyone was so happy.

Kei Day was just perfect! Kei also kept saying "should we continue? but I really want to chat more!" the whole time. It's just sooooooo cute!!!! It really made me love INKT even more! :)

That's it! Thanks for reading! :)

Koki Tanaka - Someone’s junk is someone else’s treasure.

The public instantly relates to the piece. Something is passed.

The public doesnt need to know a lot about art and the way art works to understand it.

it’s effective. it works.

junk might be a strong word.

treasure might be even stronger.

Someone didn’t need that object anymore / Someone needed to sell that object.

Someone needed that object / Someone wanted that object.

There’s not much to tell about a flea market, we pass by it, we might look at one or two objects, that’s it.

The “junk” Koki was selling made that flea market not so ordinary.
