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.

高校の先輩(年が離れていて当時は面識はなかったが)で、国内や外資系企業の経営を手掛けてきた方の話。彼がインタビューで「人生を変えた英語の先生」と語っていた人物は、まさに僕が英語を教わった先生だった。僕自身も、その型破りな教育スタイルに大きな影響を受けたので、強く共感した。大学では熱心に講義に通った記憶がなく偉そうなことは言えないが、その後の人生で、あの先生を超えるほど刺激的な教え方に出会ったことはない。

After Effectsを使って凝ったエフェクトを作ろうとすると「エクスプレッション」の理解が欠かせないが、ざっくり派の僕はスクリプト系の学習に時間を割くのが苦手。JavaScriptも20年近く触っている割に未だに使うのが億劫だし、Flashで日替わりブログを作った時はActionScript(懐かしい)とPHPの連動で苦労した。ただ、色々プログラムやアプリを触ってきたお陰で、音楽とテクノロジーに関しては、試行錯誤自体も楽しみの一つではある。

少し前に僕の曲が使われたチリのテレビ番組を紹介したが、チリで人気の番組といえば「31 Minutos(31分)」。結構毒のあるユーモアを含んだ、パペットを使った教育番組。日本にも人形劇やユーモアの効いた良質な子供番組はあると思うけど、決定的に違うのが音楽。どちらが良し悪しの問題ではないにしても、なぜ日本で生まれ育った自分がこういうファンキーでリズミックな音楽の方がしっくりきてしまうのか、今更ながら不思議に思う時がある
