Captain Funk-Sunshine-review-Spring Magazine-September

We would like to deliver a comprehensive press/media exposure report on Captain Funk “Sunshine” here. We appreciate that these magazines, radio programs, and websites took the time and featured “Sunshine.” Thank you so much!

Captain Funk “Sunshine” album page

– “Sunshine” album reviews & comments-

(original language: Japanese)

“Have you ever heard such catchy and all-direction dance music? “Weekend,” which sounds almost like being possessed by Michael Jackson in his prime, is particularly a gem. “(bounce)

“The way he pursues “pop” in this album is overwhelming, which almost makes me wonder if there has ever been high-quality dance music crafted like this. “(Oops!)

“If you’re looking for music to listen to, you should choose a good one like this. “(Spring)

“This album, filled with outstanding melody as sustainable as that of Brian Wilson and Kyohei Tsutsumi, clearly answers the question if popular music can survive in the 21st century.” (Studio Voice)

“This album includes straight-ahead radio friendly songs. His attitude toward pushing the envelope to make outstandingly pop music reminds me of his 90’s masterpiece “Bustin’ Loose EP.” (CD Journal)

– Press & Chart Info-

“Weekend” got ranked No.5 at FM COOLO “Hits40″ (Japanese international radio station program).

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)。
