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.

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。

ヨーロッパやアメリカの名監督たちに「映画は死んだと思うか?」とインタビューしていく、身も蓋もない映画に遭遇した。僕自身、20世紀の欧米文化やアートへの思い入れはある。けれど、良いんだか悪いんだかよく分からないものを、映画祭や内輪の評論家、メディアが持ち上げて守ってくれる「エコシステム」は、もう終焉を迎えたのだろう。「映画は終わった…」なんて嘆くヒマがあったら、彼らも『RRR』のキレッキレのダンスを見て、前に進むしかないよね(笑)。
