When we got together, I read my poems in the same way that I always read them out loud. Aki played, listened carefully to the poems, and started improvising."〔Brandt, Bettina (January/February, 2006) "An Interview with Yoko Tawada". ''World Literature Today'' (80:1) pp. 43-45.〕 In later performances, Takase used more unconventional instruments when accompanying Tawada.〔 Since 1987, Takase has lived in Berlin. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Aki Takase」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
