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.

日々の業務でAIChatは色々と使っているが、音楽制作のアイデア出しや作曲ツールとして使うことはない。僕が惹かれるコードの響きやリズムのシンコペーション、「間」の取り方、そして展開の予測不能さは、AIが目指している方向とはまったく異なるし、AIにアドバイスされるのも困る(笑)。これは老子の言う「無用の用」なのかもしれない。役に立たない(=AIが「攻略できる」と興味を示さない)ものこそ、侵食されずに生き延びるということ。

アメリカにいると特に、「価格」と「価値」は全く別物だということを思い知らされる。このコラムにもあるように、もはや古典的なミクロ経済学の概念は殆ど意味をなさない。だが音楽ビジネスがさらに絶望的なのは、作り手側から「価格決定権」が完全に剥奪されてしまったことだ。プラットフォームやテック企業を非難するのはたやすいが、音楽業界側の脇の甘さと怠慢が招いた、「知恵比べの敗北」であることは否定できない。

僕がプロとして音楽を始めた頃、ダンスミュージックの魅力の一つに「匿名性の面白さ」があった。DJがスピンする曲で盛り上がっていても、どの国の誰の曲か分からないし、そんなことに関心を持つ気配もない。DJブースの場所や、誰がプレイしているのかすら分からないこともあった。その晩のヒーロー/主役はDJではなく(グルーヴや音の響き、ストーリーなど、すべてを含めて)「音」。Ron TrentのDJは、そんな純度の高い音楽体験を提供し続けている。
