In a unique blend of music and personal stories, the original show, "Takeda Shinji's Journey with the Saxophone: Meeting Musical People," is set to premiere on July 19 (Saturday) on Skyperfect JSAT. This enchanting program features actor and saxophonist Takeda Shinji as he traverses various locales with his saxophone in tow, engaging with musicians and everyday people to uncover their personal musical journeys.

The Concept Behind the Show

Takeda, renowned for his multifaceted career in acting and music, embarks on this idyllic journey with a saxophone slung around his neck. He engages participants in discussions about their musical experiences and life stories, sometimes even jamming together. The first episode takes viewers to Mito City in Ibaraki Prefecture, where Takeda interacts with enthusiastic individuals passionate about music.

Among the people he meets are a dedicated woman promoting the use of the Electone, university students mastering the clarinet, and songwriters sharing their creative journeys. The anticipation builds as Takeda also collaborates with the brass band of Mito Third High School, creating spontaneous musical moments that are bound to resonate with audiences.

Takeda's Thoughts on His Journey

Reflecting on this endeavor, Takeda expressed some initial hesitation about exploring the themes of music and life. However, he was profoundly moved by the stories he heard throughout his encounters. He noted, “Engaging in impromptu sessions brought me joy, and meeting the members of the brass band evoked a wave of nostalgia and warmth.” His enthusiasm is infectious, making viewers curious to see what unfolds.

A Unique Viewing Experience

"Takeda Shinji's Journey with the Saxophone" stands out from conventional travel shows. Takeda aims to create an unscripted exploration where viewers can feel the authenticity of each encounter. He encourages audiences to relish the heartwarming experiences that emerge from genuine musical connections. Moreover, he cheekily adds, “And don’t forget, the Natto Tonkatsu I sampled in Mito was nothing short of amazing!”
