English Translation below the cut 🥰
Mick: “Ehm.. childhood is the best word I believe I can use. Because I was here very often as a child, I drove karts here – well not here exclusively, also at the track in Kerpen-Manheim – and it was a very lovely time, a time where you didn’t think too much and just had fun.”
Peter Hardenacke: „‘Hardenacke meets…‘ Episode 3 and from a very special place at that! We are in Kerpen, at the Michael Schumacher Kart Centre, and are meeting his son, Mick Schumacher. We’re excited!”
PH: “Mick! I’m glad we found the time to talk! A very special place, Kerpen, hometown of your dad, Michael. I think the name ‘Kerpen’ is immediately connected to the Schumacher family! What does it mean to you?”
PH: “So Kerpen is a piece of home for you in a way? You’re on the road a lot with Formula 1, the US is a location for you, Switzerland.. Where would you say is home for you?”
Mick: “Switzerland, really. Just because I grew up there and we have our house there. Therefore, it’s home. But I definitely see this as my second home and have my friends here, so I love to be in this part of Germany.”
PH: “What were you like as a child? As a student in particular?”
Mick: “What I was like as a child? Well, someone who has been very distracted, because he had something really nice and that was karting. That’s where my thoughts have always been, even in school. And I always went here or to another kart track near straight away and was allowed to drive races and I knew from a very young age that I only wanted to race and luckily it went in that direction.”
PH: “We’re going to come back to that later – but staying at that, your time at school..”
Mick: *laughs* “I’d rather forget about that!”
PH: “I’d love to see that in front of me! How was Mick as a student?”
Mick: “Ah! How was I as a student? Well, I really liked German and English, because I was better at that than most of the others, ehm, but my absolute favourite subject was sports! It was always quite nice, school, of course, but my favourite was being at the racetrack or at home.”
PH: “And karting, when did that start?”
Mick: “Well, I had my first kart at 2 ½ years old, 2 years old and drove around the yard with it and a bit later at 4 years old it got cross tyres, a chain saw engine (I have no clue if it’s the right translation, never heard of it) and I got a quad on top of that, the motorbike at 5 years old.. I then had a nice arsenal to choose from, but always used the kart. At home we had a little hill, where I always came at with verve and jumped over it with the kart! I loved that! And a bit later the kart grew and with it the urge to drive. I started my first race at 8 in Spain, if I’m not mistaken and.. yeah, I never stopped racing since.”
PH: “And when have you known ‘That’s going to be it!’ regarding the direction you want to go to.. Because I think Michael never really wanted that for you both? I watched the documentary about you in the intro he said, ‘Oh well, if possible, it would be great if they would do something else!’, right?”
Mick: “Yeah, but I never wanted to do anything else! *grins* My dad asked me when I was 11 years old if I’d rather come here to play football, to hang out with friends and my answer was very clear that I wanted to do it, to do it properly, and decided the following year to drive international or to start at bigger national races and then also race internationally, Europe Championship, World Championship, ESK and what else they had back then. And that was basically the start to ‘professional racing’.”
PH: “And the decision was made here, right? Where you discussed it?”
Mick: “In Kerpen, in the KS Imbus.“
PH: „And what were the changes for you then? You already said it all got a bit bigger, also with all journeys, but regarding what you invested or were allowed to invest yourself, was that a big change?”
Mick: “Yeah, along the lines of not taking your helmet off and going off to play again, but rather think about it, what you can change to get faster, think about the driving itself, what I can do better – of course, at that time I was around 11, 12 and you don’t really think about (physical) training as it is way too early for such a small body – but just simple thoughts afterward and not running off, talking to the mechanic about what to do with the kart to get faster.”
PH: “How big was the influence of Michael at that time already? Could you learn something about how he works, which approach he had to some things?”
Mick: “I think at that age you don’t really perceive what happens around you. Of course, I knew that Papa was a racing driver, but what all that entailed wasn’t that clear, yet. And.. I always knew that I wanted to do it, but I didn’t know how hard it was actually going to be. So, I know what Papa meant by saying ‘Rather do something else!’, but in the end, I am incredibly proud to have taken this path and seen it through until the end. And without his support, his tips, and everything I wouldn’t have ended up where I did.”
PH: “What kind of feedback was it? You know about the dads who are always there at football practice, cheering and talking at them during the matches.. Was there a kind of exchange.. when you drove..?”
Mick: “Not at all. The exchange was always that he tried different tactics. Sometimes he tried to be very strict, sometimes not at all, always tried to see ‘what does Mick react to?’ and there were always a few moments where I actually had to think about ‘Okay, what did I do wrong now?’, but those were always moments that brought me forward, so I really liked this up and down, this inconsistency in a way, because it’s not that different in motorsport. You meet people who are giving you everything, who support you 100%, and some you are not behind you 100% and you still must deliver the performance.”
PH: “So he had a really good feeling about you-“
Mick: “Very good”
PH: “-what you need at that time, if you need a bit more pressure, or a hand steadying you.. so that was mainly where he had a good feeling about you.”
Mick: “Exactly”
PH: “So not like with Max Verstappen, where he - do you know that story? (*Mick nods*) - Where he (Jos) left him (Max) at a gas station?”
Mick: “And he had to walk.”
PH: “And he had him collected by the mum an hour later because the result wasn’t good?” *laughs*
Mick: *With a very neutral voice and expression* “No, we didn’t have that, no.”
PH: “How was it for you in general with the pressure? I mean it’s always there anyway and you also put it on yourself, to win races, to get better, but also to get a foot in with that name in the karting scene? Was there ever someone, or didn’t everyone say, ‘Now here comes the son of Michael’ and was that a special burden?”
Mick: “No, not at all, because Papa never gave me that pressure. So it was super easy to just do what I wanted to do, in a sense of how hard I wanted to push myself or not, and as I said Papa had an amazing feeling for it ‘Don’t think about it too hard, we’ll do the best that we can’ and it was clear from the very beginning of what Papa said and also Mama that if I don’t want to do it then I don’t have to. And that has taken a lot of pressure off me.”
PH: “What was your biggest talent?”
Mick: “The first lap. These one-on-one battles, the first laps, let’s say when I didn’t start from pole to always fight my way up to the front when the field was very compact, making the right decisions, which line to take, or when I started from the front to have a kind of calmness and to not take on the pressure but to start the race relaxed.”
PH: “Timo is also saying that about you, Timo Glock (former F1 pilot and current fellow Sky Germany host) because I talked to him about you before I talked to you. He said what had always been impressive about Mick was his racing intelligence. To know when to do what, he said that is really distinctive with you. Would you agree?”
Mick: “Yeah, I would agree. It’s a lot of fun for me, so it might be a bit easier for me.”
PH: “You started your Formula career via karting, with Van Amersfoort, which memories do you have of that time?”
Mick: “My first year in Formula 4… (I remember) That those were the first 2 weekends that I had, so the first 6 races in my career and they were an absolute rollercoaster. From an average race to win to a crash to a broken thumb, it was all within those first 6 races that I had, but it was still a very nice time. I learned a lot from Van Amersfoort and definitely took it with me to my second season that I then did with Prema and yeah, where it went relatively well.”
PH: “Fritz van Amersfoort said that you above all always tried to improve, looked at where those possibilities were, such a meticulousness that you have taken with you from how you learned it.”
Mick: “Yes, I think so, too. I had it in me then and it guided me throughout my whole career, this ‘always try to improve and always trying to get the best out of the package that you had’.”
PH: “Then you went on to Prema, Formula 3, Formula 2, and particularly in the second seasons always taking the big leaps. Why was that do you think? That you always needed the first year to settle in? Was that normal?”
Mick: “No, we had some difficulties in the first year with technical problems that you can’t really see. We were always well off regarding the speed, ehm.. so we could’ve been further up in the championship, but that’s all history in the end. We won in the second year and that’s what counts.”
PH: “When was it clear to you that the step up to Formula 1 was happening?”
Mick: “With the Formula 3 victory.”
PH: “In Spa?” (Referring to Mick’s first race win in F3)
Mick: “No, with the championship”
PH: “Ah okay, I thought. But the first race win was in Spa?”
Mick: “Yes, the first win was in Spa, with the first pole position and the first win. But to win the championship was the first moment for me when I thought ‘I can do it’ and that I do have a little talent to be able to make it.”
PH: “When you said ‘Phew, I can do it!’ – were there doubts along the way?”
Mick: “Doubts? I think if you don’t drive without any then you would never try to achieve the 100%. And I think it’s very important as a racing driver but also a person to doubt yourself – of course to a certain degree – but, to always try to get better, and to get the best out of yourself. If you’re too self-assured, then you’ll say ‘Oh well, I achieved everything’ and you lean back and then.. it starts going backward.”
PH: “How was the transition then? I remember when we met in 2019 at Nürburgring when you were supposed to drive for Alfa (Romeo), the first free practice, and it rained too hard that it didn’t work out. Many believed back then it could work out with Alfa and in the end it was Haas, take us with you again on this journey.”
Mick: “Ehm.. I mean the Formula 2 season was that you had the last race in Europe in Monza and then you had this big break before the last race in Abu Dhabi. Ehh, Bahrain, sorry. And in between was (F1) Nürburgring, for example, where we were supposed to drive the FP1, but didn’t due to the weather. And then it was clear that for the last race of Formula 1 in Abu Dhabi I was supposed to drive the last FP1 for Haas. What went quite well for me. I was feeling well very quickly and yeah, it became clear pretty quickly that that would be the next step for me for the next year. And I then won the championship, which was my first goal before getting into Formula 1, the first goal I then reached, the second goal still being open, which is to become World Champion, so.. I’m still working on that.”
PH: “Which I’m sure is going to work out. Mick, regarding the decision, when that happened, how was it to reach this milestone for you?”
Mick: “You can only be 100% sure when it’s signed by both parties. And when that was the case I was really happy, that I got this chance. But when I was really, really happy was when I drove the first race.”
PH: “How was that first meeting with Günther Steiner, do you still remember it?”
Mick: “Pfft.. Ehh.. In Bahrain when I did the seat fit. That was the first time when I met Günther.”
PH: “What was your first impression back then?”
Mick: “Well, back then ‘Drive to Survive’ was already out, so I had an impression of Günther, already, but yeah, it was like you would imagine.”
PH: “That first year in Formula 1 was under hard circumstances anyway, I believe, with Haas practically knocked off, basically driving the race for oneself. And what you had to do, to beat your teammate Nikita Mazepin at the time, you did. What did you take with you in this first year?”
Mick: “Yeah, we had our highs two or three times, with a Q2 appearance, which wasn’t thinkable at that time, but we did it and that was really nice. The first one was in Turkey, the second one was in Paul Ricard. But if you drive a car that is soo inferior, I mean our highest downforce setup, the Monaco downforce, was even higher than the downforce setup for Ferrari. So that’s how you can imagine that it had nothing to do with it (the 2021 Haas). And even if I drive the cars now, from Mercedes for example, the 2021 car that I drove at Goodwood, which I was allowed to test prior at Silverstone, that has nothing to do with it (the 2021 Haas). So it makes sense why Lewis and Valterri were able to drive those times when we really had to fight for, but I personally think that it’s good that I also achieved something with the car that I had at that time. Of course, it was a bit different in the season after that, but you couldn’t really learn a lot when you’ve only ever taken a look at your own data and didn’t really have a comparison and the team expects you to develop the car but we didn’t have any experience from Formula 2 how to develop a car, so those are all processes that you learn from a teammate of course, who might have some experience, or needs the time to learn it himself. In that case, I sadly didn’t have the time to really learn that myself.”
PH: “And in the second year, Nikita Mazepin had to leave after testing, Kevin Magnussen came – who came back from pre-retirement in a way – as your teammate. How was the dynamic within the team before the season started in Bahrain?”
Mick: “The dynamic was positive, of course everyone was happy that Kevin was back, and had placed their bets on him in that case. It was the first time for me to be able to collect experience from a teammate. Sadly, because we had such difficulties within the first year, we adopted some habits, that fit that (2021) car really well, but not to the new one. Which we then tried to change with new setups and whatnot and Kevin simply drove, which we probably should’ve done, too. Because those are such minor details, which when you have too few people who are looking after two cars will of course get difficult. But yeah, we made the best out of what we got and still had some few successes throughout that whole year that were positive.”
PH: “You have pressured yourself a bit too, then, with the crash that you had in Saudi Arabia, in Monaco was another one, the situation with Sebastian Vettel, where you had the duel where you could’ve driven into the points where it didn’t work out in the end – how did you experience it back then for yourself? Also what came then, from your team principle, from Günther Steiner, from your team principle? Would you have needed something different to be able to show the bets you’ve got?”
Mick: “I mean I don’t want to justify myself there, but there is more about the crash and the situations than meets the eye. Because there were things there that were depicted way worse – about the crashes and about me – than they actually were. And of course, if you then have a person that is very active in the media who is taking this thing with them and is building this thing up in a way that it didn’t have to be built up in. Of course, it wasn’t ideal, it was not ideal. Because everyone crashes. And in that situation in Saudi Arabia, I was relatively happy that I was okay and certain people then started talking about something else that was unnecessary and.. just tried to.. to make a complicated situation out of a situation. Didn’t really like that, and yeah, I’m with you there, I could’ve needed something different, especially when I’m looking at how it’s actually supposed to be when I’m at my new role at Mercedes with Toto Wolff, but also with different team principles, for example at McLaren or Williams, then the two 2 years had nothing to do with it. You can’t expect your drivers to be able to show their best when they’re not supported in the right kind of way. So much about that. But I learned a lot, I learned a lot as a person and in the end, no one will ever give you flowers, you have to pick them yourself, I know that now. And I feel ready to fight again and to show what I can actually do because I think a lot of people don’t actually know what I can do.”
PH: “Mick, what I have always found very admirably, which I think I’ve always told you, is the calmness that you had. You were never rattled by anyone, were always in balance, and were able to free yourself from that pressured situation, by driving into the points, in Austria, in Silverstone, the curve went upwards, and that despite the little experience that you have. When you now look back at that situation, would you still say that you would’ve done something differently, that you should’ve stepped back at one point and said ‘Until here and no further’? Or are you at peace with yourself and would say everything was okay the way it went for myself and for my part?”
Mick: “In the end, you are always wiser. I always say ‘Woulda shoulda coulda’, it is how it is, I experienced the situation how I did and handled it how I did, and looking back, sure, you can always do something differently. Would you want to do something differently? Maybe. But all in all, I am the person I am today because of those experiences. If I tried to undo all my mistakes retrospectively or to improve them, I would not have the desire now to improve myself. I am the person I am today because of the experience I have had, and I know what I am able to do and what I am worth and can, hopefully when I get the next chance, do it better accordingly.”
PH: “You have already described it a bit how it is with Toto Wolff, for example, who is looking after you – how would assess the next year? All of the German Formula and motorsport community is hoping for you for you to drive in Formula 1 again. What do you think is happening now? Which options do you have?”
Mick: “Well there is not a lot moving at the moment, a lot of the drivers are set, a lot of the drivers have a set long term contract, of which many end at the end of next year, so we have to see. The season is still long. I am in touch with Toto a lot, we think about what we can do daily. But in the end the decision is not mine to make, sadly. I can only present myself and say ‘This is what you can get, this is what you can expect’. I know that I have yet a lot to give, that I want to show a lot more, can show more, and that’s what I fight for now.”
PH: “What you can also see with Alex Albon, who also made it back to Formula 1 with a little detour. Is there a Plan B for next year, in case it’s not working out with Formula 1?”
Mick: “Sadly, I have to say yes, there is a Plan B, but I have to talk about that a little later on. Yes, there is a Plan B.”
PH: “What do you wish for, for the future?”
Mick: “Well hopefully another chance in Formula 1, that is my goal, that is what I want to do, where I see myself. That is my life. I have worked 15 years of my life towards it and won’t settle for being out after 2 years. Therefore, that’s my goal, that’s what I want to do, that’s what I fight for now and will do my best.”
PH: “Our fingers are crossed! Mick, thank you!”

My life’s been a lie. I need to know where the misconception that Mickbell & Kuro open a noodle shop post-canon comes from
Kuro and Mickbell’s profiles both talk about it as if it’s a store that sells a bit of everything. A variety store, なんでも屋。
Mickbell’s sentence on the topic is 現在はクロとともに、なんでも屋を営んでいる。 And Kuro’s is 現在もミックベルにこき使われつつ、いっしょになんでも屋を営む。 No mention of noodles whatsoever. "Currently running an all-purpose shop with Kuro." "He is still being worked hard by Mickbell, and together they run a store that sells everything."
I thought maybe the confusion was because Mithrun’s profile had a similar wording that made people think it was the same thing, but Mithrun’s line straight up doesn’t mention anything about a store or noodles either, so. The assumption that Mithrun opens a noodle shop is fully from the comic about Fleki asking Mithrun to be pardoned, where really he only says offhandedly he’ll try making some.
Mick and Kuro’s Knicks Knacks!! It does suit them real well. I just wonder where they get their stock…
#Sorry for the mike wazowski treatment mick#Am I still going to write a sitcom mickrin fic where he and kuro have a noodle shop? Yes. But the disappointment is very real#Shocked and apalled and can never trust again#Dungeon meshi#mickbell tomas#kuro#in a way that seems like a bit less of a stable business somehow: where do they get their stock from?

Used Google Translate to, well translate but I don't think it's all accurate...
So... Ian's parents are David Bowie and I think that's Mick Jagger. Alan, Eric and maybe Leslie are gay for Ian, can't relate and Elton John is their teacher. Not sure who pat's parents are and they moved schools because the uniform is ugly??

English Translation
Schumacher vs. Wirtz
Ready, set, go!
Together with his sponsor Mick Schumacher is hosting a Kart race in his home town Kerpen. Nationalplayer Florian Wirtz (German National Football Team) also let's himself be challenged to a race. The Schumi-son decides the race for himself, but Mick also won in love.
He is in a relationship with the Danish model Laila Hasanovic - and talked about his new luck.
Mick: "If I will say something about it I will continue to do it via posting it on social media or via pictures."
I: "But it is like that, that it's kind of a public thing and it's a good and important step, right? That you stand (up) for it?"
Mick: "Right. I'm not hiding and that's why I shared it, but it's still not something that I will publicly discuss in the media, but rather through a picture or social media."
A clip from Mick's recent karting event in Kerpen.
source- rtl.com
#mick translations#mick translation#i seriously don't get it how interviewers sometimes get away with such offensive and private questions that is none of their busines#the questions wasnt even a proper question it was just him stammering wanting to get some private information and gossip#and mick clearly didn't want anything else get public than what he likes to share#and then the guy saying 'oh but it's the public thing you have to say something' 🤮#and I bet they cut our worse parts#the interview was probably longer bit of cohrse only the parts anout his girlfriend were interesting#please leave him and his relationship alone#🙃

merry-go-round
no matter how much i try to chase i can’t catch up just like a merry go round
mick schumacher/reader, ~1k words
inspired by this song, so if anything, blame the song not me 👍 Smalltext in the middle starting and ending with a ー are lyrics from the song!
i’m still trying to get back into the groove of writing so please be kind 🫣
feedback, likes, and reblogs appreciated ♡ thank you for reading!
“I’m sorry.”
The memory was still fresh in your mind, just as if it happened yesterday. You were clearing your old, unwanted items out from your room before packing to move. Underneath your bed, you pulled out a DIY-ed photo journal that you’d tried to forget about.
Brushing off the dust from the cover, you took a seat at the edge of your bed, the book seemingly weighing twice as heavy as it is. It was pale blue with some white flowers decorated on it, with the words “Special moments” on the cover, something he threw together in celebration of your third anniversary.
(Back then you argued, but every moment’s special with you, sharing a laugh at how cheesy it was.)
(But it’s true.)
After some internal debate, you decided to flip open the book to the first page, seeing a picture taken of the both of you before you both were even a couple. Tipsy and laughing at something the blond boy had said to you, it was taken at a Christmas party hosted by the Schumachers. Being a friend of Gina’s, you along with your family were invited over.
While it wasn’t something as significant as love at first sight, you and Mick definitely became fast friends over the course of the night, talking about anything and everything. He endured the teasing that came afterwards when he asked Gina for your phone number, rolling his eyes and saying that you’re a fun person to talk to and be around with.
The second picture stuck below the previous one was a selfie you both took after spending the day at the arcade together. Similarly, it was when Mick had yet to ask you out, but it was the day when he realised that he loves his best friend. His heart practically melted seeing how your eyes sparkled after he handed you a plush toy he caught from the claw machine, the toy that currently still sits on your bed.
It was then he realised he wanted more of that - hearing your laughter and seeing your smile, spending the days with you, or something just as simple as getting morning coffee together or talking about the pigeon you saw by the road and mentioning that it reminds you of him.
You flipped through the rest of the pages, pictures from your first date - followed by many others, gifts you both got each other, holidays celebrated together, races you went to see. The journal’s last entry was a little over halfway through the book (he left the rest empty, saying you both could continue to fill it up together after the journal was gifted to you).
It was almost the same as the first picture, both of you at a small dinner hosted by the Schumachers. Except, he had his arm around your waist, and the affection was clear with the way you both looked at each other. And this time, the dinner was to commemorate Mick debuting in Formula 1.
It wasn’t like you both didn’t take any pictures together after that, but you both didn’t really have the time to go through them and stick them in the journal. The increasingly busy schedule not only for him but also for you now working your way through university wasn’t avoidable. You tried to fly to his races whenever you could afford to, and he tried to spend as much time with you whenever he had breaks between race weekends. But no matter how much time you both tried to find for each other, you both missed each other very, very dearly.
With the responsibilities you both were bearing on your shoulders and not wanting to burden the others with more worries, you and Mick decided to keep your mouth shut, thinking you both could tough it out. Which you both did, until 6 months into Mick’s second year of his Formula 1 career was when the thread was at the verge of snapping, and you both knew that you had to address this.
He came home to you during summer break, trying to cherish every second spent with you before he sat both of you down to talk, a couple of days before he had to leave to race again.
“Love, we need to talk.”
You both knew it was over before the conversation even started.
“We haven’t been able to spend a lot of time with each other recently, and- please don’t take this like I’m blaming you because I really am not-” He almost panicked with his words but you held his hand in yours.
“I know, Mick, I understand.”
“I just… I’ve missed you so much, love.”
“I’ve missed you too.”
Mick pulled you closer to him, savouring the moment where he could have his arms around you like this.
(Savouring the moment where he was able to call you his.)
You broke the silence and continued, knowing the longer you both dragged this on the more painful it will end up being.
“But I don’t think I can really handle a relationship where I spend more time missing my other half than actually spending time with them in person, at least, not right now. And I think… I think it’s safe to say that you feel the same. You have your career to chase, and I have mine. I think this will only affect our focus on what we want to achieve, and it really hasn’t been the easiest to try and find balance between everything.”
ー(How many times have I put into words, saying ‘I love you’, But why is it that right now, there is no one by my side)ー
You gave him a sad smile.
“But we both tried our best, haven’t we?”
He looked at you with the same sadness pooling in his eyes.
“I’m sorry.”
You shake your head. “I’m sorry too.”
“I love you, Mick.”
“I love you too, y/n.”
The doorbell rang, pulling you out of your thoughts, and you hastily wiped the tears you didn’t even know were rolling down your cheeks, mentally scolding yourself as you told yourself to let it go. It has been 6 months since you last saw each other in person, 6 months since you two ended things.
You rushed to open the door and the surprise was evident in your voice seeing the person who was in front of you.
“Mick? What are you doing here?”

Great Guitarists 100 - Mick Ronson, Joe Perry, Steve Jones, Mick Jones, Paul Weller, and Andy Gill [CROSSBEAT (November 2009)]
Mick Ronson What is the sound of glam rock? In a nutshell, it's the sound of Mick Ronson's glossy guitar. From 1970 to 1973, Mick Ronson was David Bowie's right-hand man and the guitarist who defined the sound of the glam rock era. His best-known work from the glam period is Bowie's 1973 album "Aladdin Sane". The sound of glam's golden era can be fully appreciated, including the guitar sighing in "The Prettiest Star". His independent 1974 solo work features songs that show Bowie's influence. He remained in intermittent contact with Bowie and Ian Hunter until his death in 1993. However, I think his best work as a rock guitarist is the 1971 Bowie song "The Man Who Sold the World". Listening to the dynamic performance of 'The Width of a Circle', you realise that he had plenty of potential to become a hard rock guitar hero. -Hirose Tohru
Representative albums "The Man Who Sold The World" (1971, photo) David Bowie "Aladdin Sane" (1973)
Joe Perry Besides Jeff Beck and Jimi Hendrix, Joe Perry's biggest influence was Peter Green, the guitarist of the early blues-tinged Fleetwood Mac. His cover of "Stop Messin' Round" is a favourite, sung by Joe himself and performed live without fail, and is included in the covers collection "Honkin' on Bobo". He mainly uses a Gibson Les Paul, but also plays chords and solos on a six-string bass as well as a regular guitar, and his weighty sound can be heard on two of Aerosmith's best-known albums of the 1970s, "Rocks" and "Draw the Line". The figure of him singing with Steven Tyler on stage with one microphone is reminiscent of Mick & Keith of the Rolling Stones, and countless artists, such as Slash of Guns N' Roses, admire his cool guitarist image. -Ikuyo Kotani
Representative albums "Rocks" (1976, photo) Aerosmith "Draw the Line" (1977)
Steve Jones Steve Jones is the guitarist of the Sex Pistols, a band synonymous with 70s punk. His most famous work is, of course, his debut album, "Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols". At the time of its release, he was playing the guitar behind the bellowing Johnny Rotten, and that's exactly what he did. At the time of its release, the only impression it gave was that of a punk band with a bad-ass vigour, but 30 years later, on the live reunion album "Filthy Lucre Live", the band sounded extremely decent! However, if you look back after the Pistols broke up, they played on many albums, including The Professionals with Paul Cook, Suzy & The Banshees and Bob Dylan. The 30-year gap in the sound of "Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols" may be proof of his struggle to find a place in the world before the Pistols, when he liked Iggy Pop, David Bowie and others and stole their equipment, while being torn between the rise and fall of punk and the rock music that followed. -Ikuyo Kotani
Representative albums "Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols" (1977, photo) The Sex Pistols "Filthy Lucre Live" (1996)
Mick Jones Mick Jones used to be a big fan of Mott the Hoople, to the extent that he even followed them around. The guitar that made his mark on the world was that jangly, crisp guitar. The Clash's "London Calling" was a milestone in punk, but it also showed many different directions, including reggae and rockabilly. It is a must-hear along with "Combat Rock", which later spawned big hits such as "Rock the Casbah". The band's versatile sound, while also defining punk guitar cool, earned them a spot on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 25 most underrated guitarists in history. Since the Clash, he has been involved in various bands and projects, including Big Audio Dynamite, but in recent years he has been more active as a producer, for example with the Libertines. It is no wonder that he is close friends with the members of Hard-Fi. -Ikuyo Kotani

Paul Weller During his time with The Jam, Paul Weller was far more highly regarded as a vocalist and songwriter than as a guitarist. It is well known that after the Style Council, which greatly expanded his musical range, his presence as a guitarist increased alongside this. Originally, his guitar playing was more of a backing for songs, focusing on chord cutting and rhythm riffs, and he was not a technically gifted guitarist by any means. He has actively played guitar solos since going solo, but when listening to his playing, I feel the influence of Neil Young, with whom he has also featured on cover songs. The common denominator is his clumsiness, which becomes a passionate emotion and erupts in his tasteful, bad-guitar playing, and his hot, rough guitar charm is even more powerful in his spontaneous playing live. -Yoshihiro Hoshina
Representative Albums "All Mod Cons" (1978, photo) The Jam "Catch-Flame!" (2006) Paul Weller
Andy Gill Gang of Four from Leeds were one of the first post-punk bands to be enthusiastically re-appraised in the 1990s and 2000s. The band's first impression in the early days was Andy Gill's incisive cutting. His clean, cutting-only playing on tracks such as 'Damaged Goods' inspired later alternative acts. It is also symbolic that in later years Gill produced work for the likes of Red Hot Chili Peppers and The Jesus Lizard. Although the general reputation of the band is concentrated on their first two albums, their later works, which replaced the band members and had a more funk-tinged sound, were also revisited in the 2000s. Yeah Yeah Yeahs and The Rakes, who participated in the 2005 revival album "Return The Gift", were the first of the bands to inherit Gill's chappiness and dry funk feel. Gill's shadow can be clearly seen in the arrangements of Franz Ferdinand and Bloc Party. -Masatoshi Arano

Top 10 guitarists by genre: Instrumentalists The country-tinged (1/ Les Paul) is an exception to the rule, and the influence of the guitar he developed, as well as his playing style, is enormous. The founder of garage (2/ Link Wray), known for "Rumble" (also covered by Guitar Wolf), inspired Pete Townshend and many other guitarists. The Shadows' bespectacled man (3/ Hank Marvin), who used tremolo arms extensively to produce a clear sound, was Britain's first guitar hero and was admired by Brian May and Ritchie Blackmore. (4/ Allan Holdsworth) and (5/ John McLaughlin), with their superb technique and wealth of musical information, have moved freely between jazz/fusion and rock, influencing everyone from Eddie Van Halen to Vernon Reid and Mike Stern. (6/ Duane Eddy), who helped make the guitar the mainstay of rock 'n' roll in the 1950s, has earned the respect of too many guitarists, including George Harrison. Telecaster user (7/ Steve Cropper), who supported Stax Records as the guitarist of Booker T. & the M.G.'s, also deserves a lot of credit. Kraut-rock stalwart Ash Ra Tempel's (8/ Manuel Göttsching) has continued his experimental guitar adventures as he released 'Inventions For Electric Guitar'. John Frusciante has been playing delicate guitar sounds sprinkled with various effects since the heyday of punk/New Wave, and (9/ Vini Reilly) has been highly acclaimed by John Frusciante. (10/ Dick Dale), familiar to many for "Mirselou", established the surf guitar with a Middle Eastern melody, and impressed even the young Jimi Hendrix. -Shiho Yamashita

Long distance: Alpine confirms talks with Mick Schumacher
The "plan B" endurance race with the highlight of the 24 Hours of Le Mans is taking shape for Mick Schumacher. The Frenchman Bruno Famin, vice president of Alpine Motorsport and interim team boss of the Formula 1 racing team, confirmed talks with the 24-year-old. "We are talking to Mick about the possibility of working in our endurance program," said Famin at a press conference on the sidelines of the Japanese Grand Prix (Sunday, 7 a.m. CEST/Sky) and added: "We are trying to organize a test soon." Schumacher lost his Formula 1 regular cockpit at Haas at the end of 2022. This year, the son of record world champion Michael Schumacher is a reserve driver for the top team Mercedes, and his chances of one of the last open regular positions for the 2024 season appear to be slim. Mercedes wants to keep Schumacher Mercedes Motorsport Director Toto Wolff made it clear last week at the Singapore Grand Prix that he would like to have Schumacher on board as a replacement next year if no door opens for the 24-year-old in Formula 1: "If his commitment to another manufacturer allows him to be a reserve driver for us, then of course we will keep him." Schumacher himself emphasized in the SID interview at the beginning of September that he had "of course thought about it" and was simultaneously pursuing a "plan B", which he initially did not want to name precisely because: "Hope dies last. As long as all the seats are not allocated, it's not over."
