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):
J-Pop World is dedicated to promoting Japanese music and related artists from around the world. 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.

次の作品をどうまとめようか思案中。久々に歌物を作りたいと思って数十曲スケッチを作ったのだけど、歌詞とヴォーカルをどうしようかと考え出すと途端に手が止まる。実は、僕は大の音楽好きの割に、言語を問わず、歌詞に注目して深く浸る事はあまりない。でも、中身のない言葉が載った曲は、言語を問わず、耐えられない(笑)。1971年の言葉が、2026年の今、色あせるどころか、むしろこれまでになく切実なリアリティを持って鳴り響く。

3月は事務作業が多く、音楽を浴びる時間が減る。散歩や運動中は語学番組やオーディオブックを聴くことが多く、音楽の出番が少ない。間もなく運動公園の近くに引っ越す予定なので、そこで音楽を聴きながら安全に歩こうと思う。日本では自転車の交通違反が厳格化されるが、歩行者にとって、接近してくる自転車の動きや距離感が(自動車のそれと違って)どれだけ予測不能で、ランダムで怖いかを、運転者側に理解・想像させるのは絶望的に難しい。

昨年末に「今年はAIチャットによくお世話になった」と書いてまだ2か月だが、このところめっきり使う頻度が減り、サブスクもやめた。期待できる答えが返ってくる分野が意外と限られている(コーディングとか)ことが分かったので、それ以外のことを真剣に聞くだけ時間の無駄と思うようになったというのが近い。Redditとかでは「ChatGPT最近、マジでムカつくし、うざい」などと言われているが、機械相手に感情的になるくらいなら、電源を切って外に出よう。
