Sakuran Interview
I half promised to translate an Sakuran interview a year ago... which answers some questions people had about what really happened with Sakuran and Heisei Fuuzoku, whether SR made any 'electronic' music etc.
I'll just note that the interview doesn't say that the initial soundtrack she made was 'electronic', only that she used various different instruments.

Thank you, D.K. Liu. Major props.
Very curious about the instrumental soundtrack that got rejected. Maybe Minagawa have killed the new Danny Elfman? |

Wow! Thank you thought it's easier for me to read the original text...haha! XD
recent interviews: yahoo! music TOWER (I feel weird to post this one... @@ anyway, I translated a small part of it but I don't own the credit. It's better if someone else translate it again.) and an attachment. I forgot where I got it brief notes of radio interviews from a fan blog: MUSIC LINE 1 MUSIC LINE 2 ASAHI SUPER DRY MUSIC FLAG bonus: Mummy-D's webdiary...XD

Wow, awesome.
Thanks for the translation, D.K. Liu. So HF could have been so much more (It's funny that the instrumental version of what HF became sounds better anyway). Really, it's such a pity. =( And thx for interviews, papi. Now we know exactly what needs to be translated. |

many thanks for these interviews. i find them to be very revealing and almost explanations for just about every question people brought up about the albums, why some liked them, some didn't, etc.
"Interviewer [to uki] Maybe you are in some ways the "rock" factor that subverts the band." that's funny. i like that ringo was actually overseeing the song writing to some extent. though it doesn't seemed she helped them, it gives me a better image of how it worked. i had originally thought she just showed up and they told her what to sing. even though ringo liked the end product, i think she should have spoken up about how she felt. her initial thoughts about her vocals not feeling right seems to have been the right, gut instinct. i guess she could not have expected more, though, if she didn't make them change the songs more to fit her. it was an interesting experiment. i'm really excited for their next album. i want to see if uki and izawa have become better songwriters, especially knowing that she really does trust them with that responsibility. i guess it shows that uki didn't have much experience as a song-writer, but i give him props, those were some pretty good songs for someone who barely writes. |

Shiina is surrounded by people limiting her creativity. Don't care how fanboyish that sounds.

^ well, that's not too surprising considering it was a job request. it wasn't supposed to be her own exhibition as an artist but rather her lending her talents to an already thought out cause. i think SG is where her creativity would have taken the music she was into around that time.

I suppose. And the director's the director, after all.
But bah. This could have been something different. |
