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):

We try to highlight Japanese groups who are making an effort to grow a fan base in English-speaking countries, as well as highlight international groups who are heavily influenced by Japanese music and culture.

日系2世のアーティスト、ルース・アサワのドキュメンタリーを見た。以前から作品は知っていたものの、その生涯や背景に触れるのは初めてで、深く引き込まれた。彼女は第二次大戦中の日系人強制収容所で、同じく収容されていたディズニーのアニメーターから絵を学んだという。逆境をアートへの扉へと転換した彼女の強さに胸を打たれると同時に、ふと思った。僕の曽祖父の家族もまた、あの時代、同じ場所にいたのかもしれない、と。

最近使う生成AIは3つほどに絞られた。その一つ、Geminiの強みは「知能の高さより、UXのフリクションレス(摩擦のなさ)」を追求している点だ。個人利用において我々は、説教や融通の利かないファクトチェックは不要だし、時に「正解」さえ求めていない。この「ザラつき(違和感)のないコミュニケーション/インターフェイス」の設計力こそ、今のデザインやサービス開発に最も問われている。アートや創作においては、違和感は大事な要素だけれど。

ラスタファリズムで言う「イスラエル12支族」という概念は、迷えるアフリカ系ジャマイカの人々(特に貧困層)のことであって、現在騒がせている国家イスラエルとは関係がない。”Get up in the morning, slaving for bread, sir / So that every mouth can be fed”(朝起きて、パンのために奴隷のように働く。みんなの腹が満たせるように。)というこの曲がヒットしたのは、僕が生まれる1年前。そんなに昔のことでもない。
