Captain Funk-interview at J-Pop World thumbnail

Tatsuya had an interview with “J-Pop World (https://www.j-popworld.com/),” American website dedicated to promoting Japanese music and related artists from around the world. They talked a very wide range of topics, from his musical background, his thoughts about remix & collaboration, to recent activities and future visions at Tatsuya’s label Model Electronic. It is very rare for him to have such a long, deep interview like this (and he enjoyed it very much).

We would like to thank and give a shout-out to the interviewer Mark for his interest in Tatsuya’s music and, above all, his deep knowledge of Japanese pop music!

Hope you’ll read and enjoy, it’s rare to talk about the detail like this.

About J-Pop World (quote from the website):

昔、あるミュージシャンが「音楽を作るのは畳職人が畳を作るのと同じだ」と言ったという記事を読んだ。出典がなかったので真偽は定かではないが、その言葉を読んだとき、膝を打ちながらも、かなりドライな意見だと感じた。ただ僕自身は長らく、誰かに頼まれて畳(曲)を作ったことがなく、創作を職人気質に捉えすぎないようにしている。それは、畳作りを一生好きでいられる(=嫌いにならない)方法について真剣に考えた結果の、自分なりの答え。

遅ればせながら「ショパン国際コンクール」のドキュメンタリーを観た。1位を獲ったエリック・ルーの演奏スタイルが非常にアメリカ的なのが印象的だった。僕はこれまで、コンクールやコンテスト、ランキング、オーディションといった、他人による優劣の判断や評価システムに対して猛烈な反発心があって、それをバネに生きてきたところがある。演奏者の方々にはコンクールを一つの通過点と捉え、「自分が音楽と演奏を好きでいられること」を最優先に、邁進してほしいと思う。

何事も経験を積むことは大事だけど、経験を積んだことで「何をすべきか」じゃなくて「何をすべきでないか」が先に浮かぶようになって、結局進めなくなったり、リスクを冒せなくなったら意味がない。知識や経験を得るほど臆病になり、快適領域でものを考え、バカなことをしなくなる。それを防ぐ一つの方法として「好奇心を持ち続ける」ということがあると思う。「これは自分の領域じゃない」と関心を限定しすぎない。ただし、噂話とかゴシップとかじゃなくて(笑)。
