A round saw, a push-off, an impact driver ... A man with a slightly stubborn feeling who masters the three sacred treasures of a carpenter with vivid hands and finishes a fashionable cafe stand.
"Hello".
The expression with his face raised turned from a serious look toward the wood, and a refreshing and dazzling smile!Yes, this person was a unique carpenter singer, Kenta Sano, also known as Sanoken.

Mr. Sano is energetically engaged in music activities as a singer-songwriter while being involved in various construction sites as a carpenter of his parents' house, Sano Kogyo.
After appearing on TBS TV "Wednesday's Downtown" at Monster House, the balance of work is now about carpenter 2: music 8.Why is it a carpenter singer who wears two pairs of straw sandals?

"Honestly, there were times when I was shaking a lot. I have the right balance for myself, and I can't be too biased toward either side. Now carpenters are having fun, and not only that, but they are firmly inheriting the family business. I want to come and sing and live. In short, I'm greedy (laughs). "

Mr. Sano says that carpenters and musicians are the same artists in terms of making things.
"The fun that comes from nothing, it's the same thing. Of course, it's made from scratch, but it's also a remodeling, eh? This is what happens !? It's really amazing magic! Carpenters and singers At first glance, it's completely different, but within me, that distance is getting shorter and shorter (laughs). "
Because of Mr. Sano, I could feel the way of life from the appearance of singing as a carpenter, and it looked very shining.

A world born of a broken heart

It was a broken heart that gave Mr. Sano a chance to sing.
"When I was in high school, I went out with a girl I fell in love with at first sight, but in a blink of an eye, I couldn't get an email during the test period! I'm really shocked. I don't know why! Is it useless during the test period ?? (laughs) ".

When I was drooling in one hand of the guitar and playing with poron poron, I was able to sing.The title is "Kimi to Zutto".
Let's sing now that we're done!Singing in the classroom, gathering friends and doing an electric shock live in the park behind Ito-Yokado.
According to a friend who knew the time, it became a bit of a topic, saying, "Sanoken is singing!" "Suddenly Sanoken, what did you do ??" "What happened to Sanoken !?"

On the day of the interview, he performed a memorable song "Kimi to Zutto"!
As expected, an entertainer with a strong spirit of service!
I was surprised at the transparent, delicate and wonderful singing voice that overturned the image of Mr. Sano who was full of vitality and full of wit!
The beautiful melody that touches the heartstrings and the sad singing voice make me want to close my eyes and listen to it forever ... It was a moment that made me think like that.

Value of music x value of carpenter

"Mr. Sano, who started singing because of a broken heart, is active mainly on the street in front of Kofu station.
"Every weekend, I lived on the street from about 6 pm at the south exit. I even sang until 5 am. Homeless old men gave me body percussion (laughs)."

In the spring of high school XNUMX, he won the grand prix at the NHK Nodo Jiman Tournament and decided to go on the path of music in earnest.
By appearing in various media such as THE Karaoke ★ Battle and Monster House, the range of music activities has expanded.
"No matter how major it may be, I and Yamanashi are inseparable keywords. I don't want to make it a city that accepts only what is visible and easy to understand. For example, I would pay for 400 yen coffee without any discomfort. How much do you pay to listen to a song? I want to make Yamanashi a decent value for such invisible things. No, I will do it! "

Carpenter and music.There are walls facing both, and I have a dream that I want to overcome and accomplish.
That is the role and significance of "Sanoken's goal" as a carpenter singer.
The work of a carpenter who was once the number one profession he wanted to be.Currently, there are few successors, and the industry is seriously aging and labor shortage.In order to fulfill the responsibility of adults who could not convey the charm of carpenters, we started the Sanoken style approach in a new way.

The destination of a man who cuts through the headwind

"What is a carpenter singer?" I always ask myself. At first I just sang in a carpenter's style, but lately I'm not just sticking to my style, but what I want to convey as a carpenter singer. Came to think about what she wanted to see. "

Making a chair while singing makes the fun of making things as easy as singing.And Mr. Sano wants to lower the hurdles of carpenters to the extent that there are carpenters on the extension of DIY, and to convey the fun and fun to children and young people.
