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.

政治経済をはじめ、あらゆる分野において、今ほど「予測」が意味をなさない時代は珍しいと思う。2008年の大統領選挙で50州中49州の結果を的中させ、時の人となったネイト・シルバーが新刊を出すと聞いたが、正直言って、今はどんな専門家の予測も当てにならないと感じているし、むしろ知らない方が賢明だと思う。「〇〇が勝つ確率は71%」と言われても、それはあくまで「モデルが正しければ」の話。コロナ禍のモデル論争が、今となっては牧歌的に思える。

昨日に続き、お気に入りのブラジル音楽を紹介。ギタリスト、ルイス・ボンファの『Introspection』は、彼のリリース作の中で最もよく聴いてきたインストアルバム。恐らく彼の作品の中では商業的に成功しなかった部類に入るだろうし、レコード会社RCAとの契約もこれが最後だったようだが、YouTubeのコメントでは絶賛の嵐となっている。この作品を発表した1972年当時の彼に、2025年のリスナーからの反応を届けてあげたい。

先日、「心に響く、一生モノの曲」の話をしたけれど、ブラジルの音楽にはそのような曲が本当に多い。ひとつ残念なのは、僕がブラジルポルトガル語をあまり理解できないこと。外国語に関しては、時々思い立ってラテン系言語や中国語のテキストを買ってみるのだけれど、結局は英語に逃げてしまう。この「É Preciso Perdoar(赦してあげよう)」という曲は、失恋についての内省的な歌で、A→Bパートへの展開がゾクッと来る。
