Take Your Time - Haruomi Hosono Remix

The Secret Life of VIDEOTAPEMUSIC

Stork (feat. 折坂悠太)

On the show this time, it’s the sunny 50’s and 60’s movie theme songs of Japanese singer Yuma Abe.
Yuma Abe released his second solo album Hotel New Yuma in December of 2024.  It’s a concept album. The music is based on a fictitious variety show at a hotel “on a warm island, somewhere south of the country”, with Yuma himself as the host of the show. The songs on the record are the theme songs for the variety show.  It is available on White Noise Records.

私は自分自身が嫌いです//Ihatemyself

私は自分自身が嫌いです

This is another remix style song. I am going back to the wicked style for the next album. I am slowly letting that sink in with remix styles. 

Forest Goes Silent

FADING FOOTSTEPS

I heard them every night
for a while.

Same rhythm.
Same pause on the third step,
like whoever it was needed a second
to decide whether to keep going.

The house never looked toward the sound.
It just let it pass.

At first, the footsteps stayed close —
hallway distance,
close enough to count.
I told myself it was pipes,
old wood remembering weight.

Then they started moving farther away.
Stairs I don’t remember building.
Rooms that didn’t used to be there.

I tried standing still,
holding my breath,
like I could catch the moment
they chose to fade.

One night,
I didn’t hear them at all.

That was worse.

Because silence doesn’t mean gone.
It means whatever was walking
learned how to leave
without being noticed.

Sometimes,
when I’m almost asleep,
I feel the floor settle —
just enough to remind me
I’m the one still here.

I spent an hour with a Japanese tutor going through this song and translating its lyrics. The melody is infectious and I love it.

美味い煙草をくれないかい
Won’t you hand me a good flavored cigarette
紅い色の炎をつけて
… and light it with a deep red fire
燃える炎をからだにつけて
lighting my body with a burning flame
うまい話はないのかな
is this an offer that’s too good to be true?
宝島の地図が最後の望み
my final wish is a map to a treasure island
キャプテンクックの様に俺は今
Now I’m like Captain Cook
住所不定無職おまけに低収入
homeless, unemployed, and additionally, low income
今夜の夢見が良かったら
If I have a good dream tonight...
明日は海原ふらつく予定
Tomorrow I plan to wander around the open sea
そこで女神にめぐり会い
I might meet a goddess by chance there.
珊瑚の上で ララララランデブー
 … and rendezvous on top of the coral
うまい話はないのかな
is this an offer that’s too good to be true?
宝島の地図が最後の望み
my final wish is a map to a treasure island
キャプテンクックの様に俺は今
Now I’m like Captain Cook
住所不定無職おまけに低収入
homeless, unemployed, and additionally, low income

明日は友達のイベント
めっちゃかっこいいファンクバンド
月一くらいしかライブやらないけど
みんな輝いてんだよなホント

このままでいいのか俺、ちょっと！
天地の差が広がるぞ ずっと
いまこそ何かを始める時だと
今日は集まってラップをやるぞ

コタツを囲んだ俺たち急に
リリック書いてる夜10時
「機は熟した」とはまさにこの事 
どの子をめがけてラップしよう

楽しいけど 難しい音楽
自分の声 恥ずかしいとにかく
みかんを食べて考えてる
ラップのやり方　黒人文化

やりたい事はたくさんあるけど
やりたいように上手くできない
でもここから始めよう
何かを今から始めよう
言いたい事は特にないよ
それでもうまくいけば採用
友達のライブを見に行こう
そこからライムを見つけよう

あいつも俺も

Obscure Ride

Orphans

D.A.N. were formed in the summer of 2014 in Tokyo. Their unique and thoroughly modern sound, sitting somewhere between the minimal alt-pop of The xx and the live dance music dynamic of Caribou has won them fans throughout their home country, and an offer to appear at the prestigious Fuji Rock Festival in 2016 & 2018 has been swiftly followed by the band opening for international artists including The xx and James Blake and Floating Points in Japan. The band’s self-organized event, “Timeless”, has seen them invite and play alongside acts such as Mndsgn (LA) and Jamie Isaac (UK) in Tokyo, whilst in late 2017 D.A.N. took off to London, where they spent some time recording with Floating Points at his personal studio, appeared on Giles Peterson’s Worldwide Radio and performed at the legendary Hackney hipster haunt The Shacklewell Arms. In May 2018, they appeared at The Great Escape in Brighton, UK, winning enthusiastic new fans from around the world. The band’s latest full length album “Sonatine” was released in July 2018, followed by an Asian tour through China, Taiwan, Bangkok and an appearance at Hong Kong “Clockenflap” festival. With influences ranging from underground house and techno through to psychedelic and African music, the three piece are equally at home in the club as they are on a festival stage, and are being widely touted as the most exciting prospect to emerge from the Tokyo scene in many years.
