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):

1977年、NASAの宇宙探査機ボイジャー1号と2号は、金色のレコードを携えて果てしない宇宙へと旅立った。「ゴールデンレコード」と名付けられたその盤には、地球の自然音や画像、脳波データ、そして世界各地の音楽が約90分にわたって収められている。 日本の古典尺八の曲と並び、ひときわ異彩を放つのがブルガリアの歌手ヴァリャ・バルカンスカによる民謡だ。この曲自体に、我々を宇宙の深淵に引き込むかのような壮大な引力がある。

ふと中学受験の頃を思い出した。僕は小学校時代、関東、関西から九州まで転々とした。各地方の方言をマスターする(リスニングとスピーキング)のも大変だったが、一番衝撃だったのは、小学校4年の終わりに引っ越した県は公立、私立関係なく中学生は丸刈りが強制だったこと。体罰も普通だった。そのおかげで県外の私立中学校に進学しようと猛勉強したが、自分の中の「越境メンタリティ」はその辺りに形成されたのかも知れない。

Dark Modelのニューアルバム、大枠が完成しました。これから数週間かけてミックスダウンを行います。準備段階からじっくり時間をかけた分、かなり中身の濃い作品になりそうです。毎回アルバム作りの終盤になると、「これ以上のものはしばらく作れないな」と思うのだけど、数か月経つとそんな気持ちもどこへやら、気づけば次の作品に取り掛かっている。このサイクルが30年近く続いているのは、本当にありがたいことです。
