Music Life interview is interesting! Thank you Nath!

what made me laugh,
:smt043
スティーヴのヴォーカル----そういえばこの春に彼らのデモ・テープを聴いたときの声があんまり初期のデヴィッドのヴォーカルに似ているんでびっくりしたことがあった。そのことを言うと、スティーヴは思わず食べていた甘栗を落として「えーっ!?」と苦笑い。

Steve's vocal.... now I remember, When I heard their demo tape in this spring, I was surprised because Steve's vocal too resembles early days of David's vocal. When I told him so, Steve unintentionally dropped the sweet broiled chestnut which he ate , said "Eh!?" And a wry smile.

Steve likes Japanese sweets?

those articles seem very interesting
but first one is hard to read, it is blurred.
would you mind if I ask you put it more clearly, Nath?

David Sylvian
Behind A Thick Layer Of Make Up

I can't have the image of popular musician for teenagers anymore....

it can be read David wore gray suits, white shoes, glasses. Dark brown hair? he took polaroids, singing "Forbidden Colours" ...woo sweet!
at Portperu hotel? where?
interviewer forgot his work and watched David.
then Yuka Fujii turn up!
let's start interview!
interviewer: you look so young.
David:eh? I thought I look older than my age.
and smiled shyly.

seems like this article was translated from foreign magazine...

6th picture, page 69


David Sylvian, he is going to release his 2nd solo album "Gone To Earth". This time, "Gone To Earth" become double Album, as he requested.
And, another his request was, only 7 vocal tracks and others are all instru numbers. Moreover, recorded in last year, but played with his love and respect, Ryuichi Sakamoto, he / we can't be not satisfied. Besides, Robert Fripp, Steve Jansen, Richard Barbieri helped him, but still there's no name of Mick Karn. David is trying to show us the conclusion from the experience of "Brilliant Trees" and "Words With The Shaman" with the new album.
Well, besides of those fact files, let's see David Sylvian's present state.
Speaking frankly, he was real eccentric among the people rather straight, Japan. He was essentially, more "eccentric" than Mick Karn, shaved the eyebrows, and the appearance was outstanding strangely. When a common person does "eccentric", it might to be said just "gloomy", or when it be misunderstood terribly as "a metamorphosis", it may be a miserable experience as a result. However, he is advantageous because it becomes "the art" when the owner of such good looks does it.
several years ago, it is affected, and stuck to the body, but recent he becomes natural at all, and the smile seems to come to appear to him from a body relaxedly. He dissolved Japan, and hid like to drop own dust was the sake of the smile for today? Once David locked himself in his room, and refused all another person, he only met younger brother Steve and Yuka . I feel that ambition for the worldly-minded person faded away from him who was the top of the crazy music industry.

2枚目のソロ・アルバム「ゴーン・トゥ・アース」を発表するデヴィッド・シルビアン。今度こそは、彼の希望通りダブル・アルバムになっている。そして、もうひとつ彼の希望通りなのは、ボーカル・トラックは7曲だけで、あとはインストル・メンタル・ナンバーばかり。
しかも、録音されたのは去年だけど、敬愛する坂本龍一と一緒にプレイしたものでは、満足しないわけにはいかない。その他、ロバート・フリップ、スティーヴ・ジャンセン、リチャード・バービエリが手伝ってるけど、やはりミック・カーンの名はない。今回のアルバムでデヴィッドが狙っているのは「ブリリアント・トゥリー」や「ワーズ・ウィズ・ザ・シャーマン」を経て、そのまとめを見せてくれるらしい。
さて、そういうファクト・ファイルはともかくとして、デヴィッド・シルビアンの近況に触れてみよう。
はっきり言って人間的には比較的まともだったジャパンの中で、この人だけは、本気で「変人」していたと思う。まゆげを剃ったり、外観だけは異様に目立っていたミック・カーンなんぞよりも、ずっと本質的に「変人」していたと思うんだ。その「変人」っていうやつも、普通の人間がやると、単に「暗い」と言われることになったり、恐ろしく誤解されて「変態」に落ち込んだ結果、悲惨な目に会いかねない。
しかし、あれだけの美貌の持ち主だと、それが「芸術」になってしまうから得だ。数年前の彼には、それが気取りになって身についた所もあったが、最近の彼は、とても自然になって、微笑も体の中からゆったりと出るようになっているそうだ。ジャパンを解散して、自らのほこりを振り落とすように身を隠してしまったのは、今日という日の微笑の為だったのだろうか?
一時は部屋にこもり、一切の他人を拒否し、唯一弟のスティーヴとユカさんに会うだけだったデヴィッド。
クレイジーな音楽業界の頂点を極めた彼には、俗物に対する野心が消えたように感じる。

ソウダナア・・・丁度、思春期のベッド・ルームでのあの悶々とした感じにチョット似てるカナ?」 とチョッピリ、テレ笑い。
 僕も、デヴィッドの意見には大いにうなずけたけど、チョッピリ、イジワルな質問もすることにしたんだ。 「じゃあ、君が、もし海外に目を向けなかったら、何を見つけるつもりだったの」 ってね。するとデヴィッドは、又、笑いながら 「もし、君が、アヴァン・ギャルドはトップだっていう事と共に、卑しい流行歌の底辺なんだって感じることが出来れば、ボクの様に何かを見つけられるハズなんだよ。トップ・ミュージシャンと底辺のミュージシャンとの中間にいる頃にネ」 と僕には、ムズカシイ、なぞかけをしてくる。
 ディスク・ブリュ (煙草) を吸いながら僕の前に座っているデヴィッドは、以前とはまったくの別人に見える。単にイメージの変化というよりは、小さな仕草まで変わってしまったようだ。 「ボクは、アヴァン・ギャルドに値するような、完璧な仕事は出来なかったよ。だって彼らのうちのほとんどが、本当にプロなんだ!なのに、ボクは何年もこの世界にいながら、全然プロじゃなかったしね」


Well, it is just feel like... in the distress in the adolescent bed room?"
he said so and laughed a bit embarrassd.
I could agree with David's opinion a lot, but I decided to do the slightly unkind question.  "Then what intended to find what when you do not pay more attention abroad?" Then David lahghed again,
"If you could feel that avant garde is the top, and the bottom of the vulgar popular songs at the same time, you can find something in it like me. While you were in the midway of the top musician and the musician of the base."
His riddle was very difficult for me.
David was sitting in front of me and smoking Disque Bleu.
He seemed totally another person than before.
Not only the change of the image, even his small gestures seemed to be changed.
"I couldn't do the perfect work which worth to avant garde. Because, most of them were really professional!
But I wasn't, while I was in this (music) world for many years.
