Billboard biz

Tatsuya had a long interview with Mark Frieser, contributing writer of Billboard biz and founder of Sync Summit /Sync Exchange.

This was originally held as a series of interviews on Billboard biz he has been working on from the standpoint of “possibilities of music licensing business,” and the article has been pre-published on Sync Exchange and Music2Deal websites (as well as Blog page on this website). Publication on Billboard.com is due in this early summer.

While we comprehensively covered many topics about music licensing business, these are based on what he has actually experienced and learned for years. We hope this article will be helpful for independent musicians and publishers who have been exploring possibilities of the music business on a daily basis.

If you’re interested in Mark’s other interviews with Gerald Casale (Devo), Martyn Ware (Heaven 17), Chuck D (Public Enemy), Mathew Knowles (Music World Entertainment, and Beyonce’s father), etc., check out Billboard.biz and Sync Summit pages. These precious talks with the music industry greats should be helpful for you as well.

「(広告や商業)デザインは自分を消すことだ」という意見があると聞く。僕の生業では、表現から自分を消したら終わり。ただ、万が一その手の仕事をするならば、商品やサービスを実際に使う生活者(エンドユーザー)にとってその表現が「善かどうか」で判断したい。現実的にはお金を払うクライアントがOKを出してくれれば仕事として成立するが、課題を解決し、本当にハッピーにしなければいけない相手はその先にいる。「自分問題」はそもそも課題の次元にはない。

阪神・淡路大震災から31年。あの日、仕事場へ着くと皆がテレビに釘付けで、画面越しに戦慄が走った。1月17日の早朝に地震が発生してから、実家と連絡がついたのは数日後の夜だったと記憶している。両親は家具の下敷きになりかけながらも無事だった。東京にいた僕は安否を案じることしかできなかったが、震災はその後の自分の生き方を確実に変えた。
