インスタ、音楽専用の公式アカウント「@Music」開設 日本からtricotを紹介

29日、写真・動画SNSサービスのインスタグラム（Instagram）は、音楽に特化した公式カウント「@Music」を発表、開設した。

音楽コミュニティがサービスにおいて重要な役割を果たしているというインスタグラム、@Musicは「世界中の音楽との出会いに特化したアカウント」（インスタグラム CEO Kevin Systrom）とのことで、330万以上のTwitterフォロワーを持つQuestlove (@questlove)や日本の3ピースガールズバンドtricot (@ikkyu193)の2組を例に出しながら、今後、アーティストの普段とは違った側面だったり、世界で注目の新人アーティストなど、音楽にまつわる写真や動画を随時紹介・発信していく。

Since 2010, Ikkyu Nakajima (@ikkyu193), Motoko “Motifour” Kida and Hiromi “Hirohiro” Sagane have been on a journey with no destination — an endless road trip of instant ramen, rock climbing walls and fake mustaches. The girls make up the band Tricot (pronounced “tree-ko,” after the French word for a type of knitting), a math rock trio based in Kyoto with a penchant for emotional vocals layered over complex guitar riffs. “When we first started Tricot we thought that we wanted to be signed to a big record label but we don’t think it’s cool at all,” says Nakajima, who plays guitar and sings. “The way we’re doing things at the moment, we have absolutely no idea what’s going to happen next — and that’s precisely why we want to do it this way.” –– Mike Sunda for Instagram @music Photo by @ikkyu193

The music community is –– and always has been –– an important part of Instagram. For the past four years, we have become the home for artists big and small –– a place where people across the musical spectrum come to share stories, reveal their creativity and connect directly with fans. Today we’re launching @music, a new account dedicated to exploring music around the globe, from those who create it to the community around it. Each week, we’ll take a look at the musical experience on Instagram. That means showing you a different side of artists you know and love, like Questlove (@questlove), and introducing you to up-and-coming talents from around the world, like Tricot (@ikkyu193). It means highlighting music photographers, album illustrators, instrument makers and, of course, fans. In the Instagram tradition, we will also welcome community participation with a new, music-themed monthly hashtag project. Music is a huge part of all of our lives here at Instagram. It’s a passion of ours, and we know it’s a passion of yours. So follow along at @music –– we think you’ll discover something new. — Kevin Systrom, Founder and CEO Art by @jaredeberhardt
