Dark Model – Broken Arrows

Dark Model 2014

This is the next preview from Dark Model’s first album which will be released on May 16th, 2014. This track begins with a dark piano intro and builds dramatically with a full orchestral arrangement and massive electronic beats.

By the way, this may be different from what you would expect from the title, but this track was not inspired by the famous movie “Broken Arrow.” Not limited to the feudal era in Japan or the Middle Ages in Europe, there has been many parables and anecdotes where “arrows” come up as symbols of human bonds and wills such as loyalty, trust, creed, or even fighting spirit. Those symbolic connotations inspired me. Having said that, what I wanted to incorporate into this music was, “Your (fighting) spirit never dies even if your arrows are broken.” That is opposite to most of the contexts where broken arrows are figuratively used.

For details of Dark Model’s first album, please refer to the album page.

This track has been licensed and featured in some media projects such as Mr. X Inc’s 2016 trailer. (article)

海外の書店も似た状況だが、日本の書店に「発明」コーナーはない(図書館の方がまだ望みがある)。法律やビジネス書の棚には知財/IPや特許を語る士業の本が溢れているが、リスクを負い、無数の失敗を経て奇跡を生み出す「創造の張本人」は彼らではない。特に個人で発明やイノベーションに挑む人達の声は、驚くほど届かない。ドクター中松やアイデア主婦だけが発明ではないというのに、その真髄は棚の隙間に消えている。

日本の図書館には不思議な魅力がある。欧米の図書館は割と賑やかで「人々の知的な交流の場」的な佇まいのところが多いように思うが、日本ではむしろ日々の交流とは距離を置いた「一人空間」を求めてくる人が多い気がする。蔵書数が多くて、無料の貸出を徹底しているのも特徴だろう。国立国会図書館は好きな図書館の一つで、最近の僕のリリースが輸入盤扱いな中、Dark Model『Saga』(日本盤)が収集されていて驚いた。

僕の生まれた広島県は全国1位の移民送出県だという。それを今日知った(笑)。僕の曾祖父も20世紀初頭に家族で渡米したのだが、その事実を知ったのも割と最近だ。祖母の家にはMJBコーヒーの緑の缶やスパムの缶詰があり、僕によくパンケーキを焼いてくれた。幼稚園児にもなっていない当時は、そのハイカラさの背景など考えもしなかった。もっと詳しく知りたいと思った時には、事情を知る人はもういない。それが世の常なのだろう。
