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.

音楽以外で時間を割いているのが語学と数学の勉強。教養のためではなく、実用を目指すからこそ現実とのギャップに気が遠くなる。英語だってそうだったから、習得には膨大な時間がかかるものだと割り切り、気長に取り組むのが大事。しかし、なぜ音楽だけは挫折を感じないのか。作曲を始めた時点で、すでに膨大な量の音楽が自分の中に蓄積され「準備が整っていた」のもあるが、一番には「他人と比較して優劣を考えない」からだと思う。ありがたい。

アルバムのタイトルと収録曲が決定。すべて新曲のCaptain Funkが、新たなスタイルで帰ってきます。ところで、このMaxwellのデビュー作を愛聴していた’96年、僕はまだ会社員。帰宅後に欧州のレーベルに送るためのデモ作りに明け暮れていた。翌年のNY出張で、街の至る所で彼の曲が流れていたのを覚えている。幸い、僕もその年にデビューできたのだから、今思えば運が良すぎた(笑)。30年という年月は長いようで、ほんの一瞬。

「太陽神」と聞くと、僕はアース・ウィンド・アンド・ファイアーのアルバムタイトルを思い浮かべてしまうのだが、太陽の神様は天照大御神からラーまで世界中に存在する。中国でも古くから太陽崇拝の文化があり、山東省の煙台市はその聖地なのだそうだ。これは最近知った話なのだが、きっかけは建築雑誌でこの「Sun Tower」を目にし、強く惹きつけられたこと。現在は韓国経由でしか行けないようだが、いつかこの場所から太陽を眺めてみたい。
