ブーガルー・シュリンプ 『マイケル･ジャクソンのダンスの話』

I got started dancing right after the disco era happened. I mean when Saturday Night Fever came out, I literally thought I was John Travolta, like most kids.
ちょうどディスコ時代が到来したすぐ後に、ボクはダンスを始めたんだ。サタデーナイト・フィーバーが出た頃だよ。多くの子供たちと同じように、ボクはジョン・トラボルタになった気分だったよ。
My first trip to Japan was in 1983 and I did a TV commercial for Nissan.
ボクが始めて日本に行ったのは1983年で、日産のテレビ・コマーシャルをやったんだ。
Then I went back with Lionel Richie and the Pointer Sisters, I was on their world tour.
そして、ライオネル・リッチー＆ポインター・シスターズと一緒に戻って来た。ボクは彼らの世界ツアーに出ていたから。
Then I came back as a star with Breakin’ and then I wore that Bonsai - Japan’s traditional worn Bonsai Bandana.
そして、映画 『ブレイクダンス』 のスターとして、戻って来た。ボクは あの『ボンサイ』 を巻いた。擦り切れた日本の伝統的な 『ボンサイ・バンダナ』 だよ。

Right after the end of the 70’s the 80’s came along with what we called new wave music along with Techno and synthesised electronica. The music took on a faster tempo which was also reflected in the wardrobe that new wave artists wore.
70年代が終わってすぐに、ボクたちがニューウェーブと呼んでいるテクノとシンセサイザーの電子音楽で、80年代が始まった。音楽はより速いテンポのものになって、それがニューウェーブのアーティストたちが着ているものにも反映されたんだ。
If you look at what we were wearing it’s pretty much early Madonna, early Flock Of Seagulls, some Depeche Mode and Duran Duran. You know I have to give it up to British artists for the new wave of music they came out with. They had a pretty interesting wardrobe so we were always trying to reflect that within our selves whilst being contemporary.
ボクたちが着ていたものを見ると、初期のマドンナ、初期のフロック・オブ・シーガルズ、デペッシュ・モードやデュラン･デュランとかなり似ているよ。イギリスのアーティストたちがニューウェーブの音楽と一緒に持って来たものを、ボクは歓迎する。彼らはとても面白いものを着ていたし、ボクたちはいつも同時代のものを自分たちに反映させようとしていたんだ。
Well back then we had the spiked bracelets patterned leather look, if you looked at some of the hair styles they would put their hair in a Mohawk and try to imitate the new wave or the Punk Rock look.
あの頃、ボクたちは鋲付きのブレスレットと柄付きのレザーという格好だったけど、髪型を見ると、モヒカンにしたり、ニューウェーブやパンク･ロックの格好を真似しようとしていたね。

[@sventrogrlic6370]

The so called moonwalk (the back slide) was performed in the 40's and 50's for the first time. Black musicians and dancers were doing the walk a long time before him on stage....

[@ninelives4738]

That is true, however it was not mainstream until the 80s due to them popularizing it.

[@richardkovacs2006]

Exactly. And none of the guys, who taught him in their own style did. It evolved through decades through circus artists, dancers and pantomime artists (like Marcel Marceau). Then by the lockers and poppers.

[@RandomBlackGamer]

None of the guys who taught him claim to have either. They re just giving their history with Michael.

[@djqnonamus955]

I never heard him say it out his own mouth but everyone believes he did. Whether they’re a fan or not. And it’s Bboys who ride his jock the most when it’s they who influenced him not vice versa. Michael was an amazing artist/entertainer but just not as innovative as people want to believe. When you’re an icon I guess you can get away with a lot.

[@user-ee9lb1yw3e]

Майкл был очень талантлив от природы , плюс очень трудолюбив .Он никогда не говорил о том , что ,,Лунная походка ,, его изобретение , он просто делал это лучше других .Вот поэтому все эти танцоры обижены за это на Майкла ! Зависть , ребятки , простая человеческая зависть ! А ещё добавлю , что Майкл был хорошо сложен физически и имел превосходную фигуру танцора которую сумел сохранить до самой смерти .

Michael Chambers and Jeffrey Daniel's story seems to conflict as to who taught Michael Jackson the Moonwalk. Jeffrey states that it was his group Eclipse; which included him :Jeffrey Daniel, Casper Canidate and Cooley Jaxson that Michael first saw the Moonwalk done. The Soul Train performance is on KZbin. Someone needs to really clear up this timeline because it doesnt make sense what Shrimp is saying. You can even go further back and see the Electric Boogaloos in 1979 performing on Soul Train and doing the same Moonwalk. Ive spoken to Jeffrey several times about this and his account makes more sense.

【ブーガルー・シュリンプ - インタビュー （2014年1月20日）】 Our first meeting was very interesting. A local news show called Eye In L.A featured a segment on street dancing and this new sub culture that was happening in the city in the early 80s. And I was featured on this segment along with some other street dancers. A lady called Susan Scanlan, who had been working on this TV programme, knew the Jackson family. She told Pop N Taco and I, who was also on the segment, that Michael Jackson would like to meet us. I was just 14 at the time. ボクたちの初対面はとても興味深いよ。『Eye In L.A』 というローカルニュース番組がストリートダンスと80年代初頭に街で起きていた、この新しいサブ･カルチャーを特集したんだ。ボクは他のストリート・ダンサーたちと一緒に、この特集に出演したんだけど、このテレビ番組で働いていたスーザン・スカンランという女性がジャクソン・ファミリーの知り合いだった。その特集に一緒に出演したポッピング・タコとボクにマイケル･ジャクソンが会いたがっていると、彼女が言ったんだ。その時はボクはまだ14歳だった。 We ended up going to the house, and it was kind of like an audition. We got there and the whole family was there. Michael introduced himself and then took us to a rehearsal room they had in the house, and as we were dancing I saw Joe Jackson whispering to Michael on the side, and I’m sure he told him: ‘you know what? These guys are the next big thing and you need to have them as your personal coaches’. ボクたちは彼の家に行くことになったんだけど、それはオーディションみたいなものだった。ボクたちが家に着いた時には、彼の家族が全員いた。マイケルは自己紹介をして、家の中にあるリハーサル・ルームにボクたちを連れて行ったんだ。そして、ボクたちが踊ってる時に、横にいるマイケルに小声で話すジョー･ジャクソンをボクは見た。 『わかるか？こいつらは次のブームになるから、こいつらをお前のパーソナル・コーチにしろ。』 って彼は言ったはずだよ。 When he did the Motown special, he worked with Jeffery Daniels, Cooley Jackson and Casper. Right after that show, I had been working out with him and he was looking to make his solo bigger. So if you go online and look at the Victory tour, which was directly after Motown 25, you will see the change in that solo. My move that you see, is when he does the Billie Jean solo, and he is stationary, doing the moonwalk in a circular flow, he doesn’t just goes backwards - that’s floating. モータウン・スペシャルをやった時は、彼はジェフリー・ダニエル、クーリー・ジャクソン、キャスパーと練習をしていた。あのショーのすぐ後にボクは彼と練習してたんだけど、彼はソロ・パフォーマンスの幅を広げようとしていた。モータウン25のすぐ後のビクトリー・ツアーをインターネットで見れば、あのソロ･パフォーマンスに変化が見えるはずだよ。彼がビリー･ジーンのソロをやる時にボクの動きを見て取れるけど、彼は同じ場所で浮かんだように回転するムーンウォークをやるだろ。ただ後ろに進むんじゃなくて。あれがフローティングだよ。 Michael Jackson always loved the robot. He used to do it in the 70s but I had an updated version, and he really loved that and he wanted to master my version of the robot. So him mixing those two styles, it gave him more to play with on his solos. I was always called in as like a creative consultant for his solos. Other dancers worked with him for his choreography, but I worked with him on his solos. マイケル･ジャクソンはいつもロボットが大好きだった。彼は70年代にやっていたけど、ボクは最新バージョンを持っていて、彼はボクのバージョンのロボットをマスターしたがってたんだ。その2つのスタイルをミックスすることによって、彼のソロ・パフォーマンスの幅が広がったんだ。彼のソロ・パフォーマンスのクリエイティヴィティに関する相談役のような感じで、いつもボクは彼に呼ばれていたよ。他のダンサーたちは彼の振り付けの仕事をしていたけど、ボクは彼のソロ・パフォーマンスのための仕事をしていたんだ。 I worked with him from 1983 till about 1991, whenever his scheduled permitted. But he was such as genius and master of dance that we really didn’t have to work out that long. We would practiced for like an hour or so and ‘boom’ he got it. He did a lot of filming and I often wonder what happened to those tapes and whether they will ever surface. 1983年から1991年まで彼と練習した。彼のスケジュールが空いた時にね。でも彼は天才的なダンスの達人だったから、ボクたちはそんなに長く練習する必要はなかったよ。ボクたちは1時間ほど練習したら 『boom』 って感じで、彼は習得したんだ。彼はよく撮影してたんだけど、あのテープたちはどこに行っちゃったんだろうて、ボクはしょっちゅう思うんだ。いまだに日の目を見てないし。 So for 15 years I didn’t really push the issue publicly coz the whole thing about teaching Michael was to contribute to him being the greatest performer, and that’s exactly what I did. If anybody would have come out at that time and said, ‘yeah, I’m the guy behind Michael Jackson’, it would have taken credit away from him. He accomplished exactly what he wanted to do and that was to be known as one of the world’s greatest performers. Period. During that it was the people that really cared about him and respected him, that were like ‘okay, we know what we know, just let the man do what he’s gotta do’. So you didn’t hear Jeffery Daniels back then saying he taught Michael Jackson. You didn’t hear anything like that. It was years later. 15年間、このことについてボクが公に語らなかったのは、マイケルに教えたことのすべては、最も偉大なパフォーマーとしての彼への貢献だったから。それがボクがやったことだよ。もし、あの頃に誰かが表舞台に出て、『そうだよ。ボクがマイケル･ジャクソンの後ろにいる男だよ。』 なんて言ったら、彼からクレジットが奪い去られてしまうだろ。この世で最も偉大なパフォーマーの一人として知られるために、彼はやりたいことを完全にやり遂げた。そういうことだよ。彼のことを気にかけて、彼のことを尊敬している人たちは、『いいよ。オレたちはわかってるんだから。彼の好きなようにやらせておけよ。』 っていう感じだった。だから、ジェフリー･ダニエルがマイケル･ジャクソンに教えていたなんて話を聞いたことないでしょ。そんなことは何も聞いてないでしょ。それはずっと後のことだよ。 It did hurt me at times, as there were moments when I really needed it, like when I was looking around for work… And there were opportunities for it to be put out there. Like when Michael did that interview with Oprah Winfrey back in 1993, she specifically asked him, ‘Michael, who taught you the moonwalk?’ And he said he had been working three kids in the ghetto, three different dancers. And then he said he perfected it. That was a chance for him to let us all shine as co-contributors, but he kind of skipped over it (laughs). I guess he felt he didn’t need to name us publicly since we were already known in our own right. But I’m glad that stuff is starting to come out. I see a lot of artists who used to work with him stepping out of the shadows, and it helps me to get work and be acknowledged by a lot of people who looked up to Michael. 時々、つらかったよ。ボクが仕事を求めてあちこち歩き回っていた頃なんかは、つらい時があった。表舞台に出る機会があったはずなんだけど。例えば、1993年にマイケルがオプラ・ウィンフリーとやったインタビューで、彼女が 『マイケル、誰があなたにムーンウォークを教えたの？』 って聞いた時なんか。でも、彼はゲットーの3人の子供たち、3人のダンサーたちと練習したって言った。そして、彼がそれを完成させたと言ったんだ。あれはボクたち全員を貢献者として光り輝かせる彼のチャンスだったのに、彼はそれを無視したんだ。すでにボクたちは個別に知られていたから、彼はボクたちの名前を公に言う必要はないと思ったんじゃないかな。でも、そういう事実が表に出始めていることが、ボクは嬉しいんだ。彼と仕事をしていたアーティストたちが陰から出て来るのが見えるし、それによってボクは仕事が得られるようになって、マイケルを尊敬していたたくさんの人たちに知られるようなったんだ。 I didn’t push the issue because I didn’t have the right representation, but I also didn’t say too much as I wanted to keep the working relationship with these artists. But if I did have a manager they definitely would have pushed for me to get more credit. But I guess all I can do now is speak on it and hopefully help younger artists. The best thing I can say to them is when you work with known artists, go in with representation so you can at least come out of that job and put it on your resume, and as a result be able to raise the amount you get paid. ちゃんとした法的な契約がなかったから、強く言わなかった。でも、アーティストたちと仕事の関係を持続させたいから、あまり言わなかったってこともあるかな。もしボクにマネージャーがいたら、もっとクレジットを得るように、ボクのためにプッシュしていたに違いないよ。若いアーティストたちの役に立つためにボクができることは、それについて話をすることぐらいかな。ボクが彼らに言える最も役立つことといえば、有名なアーティストと仕事をする時は、法的な代理人を伴って契約するということだね。そうすれば少なくとも、その仕事を辞めた後に、それを履歴書に書くことができるんだ。結果的に、受け取れる金額を上げることもできるしね。 www.imisstheoldschool.com/archives/michael-chambers/

【ジェシー・ジャクソン - インタビュー (2005) 】 Jesse:did you ever have like a dancing coach? ジェシー：ダンスのコーチみたいな人がいたことはあるの？ Michael: You know what, I never studied dancing before. It always became natural for me. マイケル：わかると思うけど、ボクはダンスを勉強したことはないよ。それはボクにはいつも自然にできたことなんだ。 Jesse: Michael, where did the moonwalk come from? ジェシー：マイケル、ムーンウォークはどこから来たの？ Michael: The moonwalk is a dance I would love to take credit for but I can’t. Because I have to be completely honest here. マイケル：ムーンウォークはボクがクレジットが欲しいダンスなんだけど、ダメなんだ。これについては完全に正直にならないといけないから。 These black children in the ghettos are, they have the most phenomenal rhythm of anybody on the Earth. ゲットーの黒人の子供たちは、この世で最も驚異的なリズムを持っているんだ。 I’m not joking. I learned, I get a lot of ideas from watching these black children. They have perfect rhythm. 本当だよ。この黒人の子供たちを見て、ボクはたくさんのアイデアを得て、学んだ。彼らは完璧なリズムを持っているんだ。 From just riding through Harlem, I remember in the early, you know, late 70’s early 80’s, ハーレム（ニューヨーク市マンハッタン区北部）を車で通り過ぎた時に、70年代終わり頃から80年代の初め頃だったと思うけど、 I would see these kids dancing on the street and I would see these kids doing these, uh sliding backwards kinda like an illusion dancing I call it. ボクは子供たちが通りでダンスをしているのを見て、ボクはそれを 『イルージョン・ダンシング』 って呼んでるんだけど、その子供たちが後ろ向きに滑っているのを見たんだ。 I took a mental picture of it. A mental movie of it. ボクはその画と映像を頭に焼き付けた。 I went into my room upstairs in Encino, and I would just start doing the dance, and create and perfect it. ボクはエンシノ（ロサンゼルスの地区）の自分の部屋に行って、ダンスを始めて、それをクリエイトして完成させたんだ。 But it definitely started within the black culture. No doubt. That’s where it comes from. でも、それは絶対に黒人文化から始まったんだ。間違いないよ。そこから来てる。 Jesse: Did you ever watch Don Cornelius Soul Train? ジェシー：ドン・コーネリアスのソウル・トレインは見たことあるの？ Michael: Oh I love that show. Are you kidding? Of course I did. マイケル：あの番組は大好きだよ。何言ってるの？もちろんだよ。 www.allmichaeljackson.com/interviews/jessejackson.html 【オプラ・ウィンフリー - インタビュー（1993）】 Oprah :Where did the moonwalk come from actually? オプラ：ムーンウォークは実際にどこから来たの？ Michael : Well, the Moonwalk came from these beautiful children, the black kids who live in the ghettos, you know, the inner cities, マイケル：ムーンウォークは美しい子供たちからやって来たんだ。都心のゲットーに住んでる黒人の子供たちだよ。 who are brilliant, that just have that natural talent for dancing any of these new - the running man - any of these dances. 彼らは聡明で、近頃の 『ランニング・マン』 とか、そういうダンスをする天性の才能があるんだ。 They come up with these dances, all I did was enhance the dance. 彼らがこういうダンスを編み出すんだけど、ボクがやったのは、そのダンスを改良したことだよ。 kzbin.info/www/bejne/p3LHfX-ujMR2jaM 【『ムーンウォーク 』（1988) 210ページ】 I had been practicing the Moonwalk for some time, and it dawned on me in our kitchen [on the night before the taping] that I would finally do the Moonwalk in public on Motown 25. ボクはしばらくの間、ムーンウォークを練習してきて、ついに 『モータウン25』 で、公の場でムーンウォークをすることを、収録日の前夜に自宅のキッチンで知らされた。 Now the Moonwalk was already out on the street by this time, but I enhanced it a little when I did it. 今ではムーンウォークはすでにストリートでやられているけど、ボクはそれをやった時に、少しだけそれを改良したんだ。 It was born as a breakdance step, a 'popping' type of thing that black kids had created dancing on the street corners in the ghetto. ブレイクダンスのステップとして始まったんだけど、黒人の子供たちがゲットーの街角でダンスをして作った 『ポッピング』 と呼ばれるものだよ。 Black people are truely innovative dancers. They create many of the new dances, pure and simple. 黒人の人たちは本当に革新的なダンサーだ。彼らは純粋でシンプルな新しいダンスをたくさん創造する。 So I said, 'This is my chance to do it,' and I did it. そして、ボクは 『これはボクのチャンスだ。』 と思い、それをやった。 These three kids taught it to me. They gave me the basics and I had been doing it a lot in private. この3人の子供たちがそれをボクに教えてくれた。彼らがボクにその基礎を与えてくれて、ボクはそれをプライベートでやっていたんだ。 I had practiced it together with certain other steps. ボクはそれをいくつかの別のステップと合わせて練習した。 All I was really sure of was that on the bridge to 'Billie Jean' I was going to walk backward and forward at the same time, like walking on the moon. ボクがはっきりとわかっていたことは、『ビリー・ジーン』 の間奏に合わせて、ボクは月面を歩くかのように、前進と後進を同時にするということだった。 books.google.co.jp/books?id=whzu2CkgLqIC&pg=PA215

【ブーガルー・シュリンプ - インタビュー （2014年1月20日）】 I had a lot of natural concentration because I realised very quickly that this was going to be something that was historical from the California side. ボクには多くの天性の勘がある。これはカリフォルニア側からの歴史的なものになるってことを、ボクはとても早い段階で気付いたんだから。 A lot of attention had already been focused on New York, as there was a documentary called Wildstyle before Breakin’, and that was focused on the B-boy scene in New York. すでにニューヨークにたくさんの注目が集まっていたけど、『ブレイクダンス』 の前に 『ワイルド・スタイル』 っていうドキュメンタリーがあって、それはニューヨークの 『Bボーイ・シーン』 に焦点を当てたものだった。 We were representing the West coast section of hip hop dance, so I was thinking if we don’t do anything else it was a chance for us to show people how we were living in California. ボクたちは西海岸側のヒップ・ホップ・ダンスを描いたんだ。ボクたちが他のことをしなければ、これはカリフォルニアでのボクたちの生き方を人々に見せることができるチャンスになると、ボクは思っていたよ。 www.imisstheoldschool.com/archives/michael-chambers/ もちろん、ジェフリー・ダニエル、ブーガルー・シュリンプ、ポッピング・タコはカリフォルニア側の人たちだった。 ニューヨーク - ロサンゼルス間 （飛行機で約５時間半） blogs.c.yimg.jp/res/blog-7c-76/m_masahi/folder/1019947/11/22829111/img_9?1259965020

【ジェフリー・ダニエル Jeffrey Daniel - インタビュー (2010)】 He was very interested in the back slide and boddy popping. He may have wnated to learn those moves. 彼はバック・スライドとボディ・ポッピングにとても興味を持っていました。彼はそういう動きを学びたかったんです。 He was already a big star, so he couldn't to go to a club and learn those kinds of dances easily. Somebody had to go to his house and teach him there. 彼はすでに大スターだったので、クラブに行って、そういうダンスを学ぶことは容易ではなかった。誰かが彼の家に行って、そこで彼に教えなければならなかったんです。 He was trying to do the same things that we were doing which was to mix James Brown's move and a new type of dance which was popular in LA those days. 彼はボクたちがやっていたジェームス・ブラウンの動きをミックスしたものや、あの当時にロサンゼルスで流行していた新しいタイプのダンスをやろうとしていました。 Michael was still young, so he was trying to do his own thing. マイケルはまだ若くて、彼は独自のものをやろうとしていました。 s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/cb/dd/83/cbdd83f20ea7d0f976fcae588ff94a4b.jpg Michael is No.1 entertainer in the world and people around me showed their respect to me because I taught him dancing. マイケルは世界でナンバー･ワンのエンターテイナーでしたから、ボクは周囲の人たちから敬意を示して頂けました。ボクは彼にダンスを教えていたからです。 It is humbling, that's why I have never talked about me teaching him in an interview before he died. それが光栄なことだったので、ボクは彼が亡くなる以前に、彼に教えていたことをインタビューで言ったことがなかったんです。 s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/e3/7e/48/e37e480d5b5cce6c26ea0cd595c87b06.jpg But even this Michael once became selfish and emotional. He was very confident about his work. He believed that he should have been recognized throughout the world. しかし、こんなマイケルでさえ一度、わがままで感情的になったことがあったんです。彼は自分の作品にとても自信を持っていた。彼は自分が世界中でもっと認められるべきだと信じていたんです。 I was close to him and I felt his selfishness at that time. I'm not saying that he was selfish just to be selfish but he was trying to become the best all over the world in this process. ボクは彼のそばにいたんですが、あの時は彼のわがままを感じました。わがままになろうとしてわがままになっていたわけではないんですが、ちょうどこの頃は、彼は世界中で一番になろうとしていたんです。 He was always so calm. He shared or gave everything to the people around him. But he really wanted to be No.1. He wanted to be the best artist in the world. Not like other R & B singers in the same generation. 彼はいつも静かだった。彼は周囲の人たちにすべてを分け与えた。しかし、彼は本当にナンバー・ワンになりたかった。彼は同世代の他のR&Bシンガーとは違う、世界で最高のアーティストになりたかったんです。 s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/02/bb/13/02bb135a994029da8d18c1124b90900e.jpg He likes chicken soup.

【ブーガルー・シュリンプ - インタビュー （2014年1月20日）】 Did you get a lot of work after the films? 映画の後は、たくさん仕事がありましたか？ Not as much as I thought I would. There was a lot of stuff that was way ahead of its time back then. I got a sense that people didn’t start appreciating it till recently. 思っていたほどはなかったよ。あの頃からすると、多くの仕事はそのずっと先にあったんだ。こういう時が来るまで、人がそれに気付き始めることはないってことは何となくわかっていたんだよ。 At the time the opportunities presented to me were overseas. I couldn’t really get a lot of work in the US because of gangsta rap and then there was a period when people weren’t really dancing in the late 80s and early 90s. I was making a living doing choreography, teaching private lessons and doing trade shows in Europe and Japan. あの頃は海外に機会があった。ギャングスタ・ラップが出てきて、アメリカで仕事をたくさん得ることは本当にできなくなったし、80年代の終わりから90年代の初めにかけて、人があまりダンスをしなくなったのが一つの終焉だった。ボクは振り付けや個人レッスン、ヨーロッパや日本で展示会なんかに出て生計を立てていたんだ。 www.imisstheoldschool.com/archives/michael-chambers/

+michael truthson Not really bro...it's a chance to reflect on what you did in your Life because your not busy doing it and proving ishnit. You can really see the significance (or lack) of what your Life means. I'm enjoying Life now and really digging passing on what I've experienced to my grand children. I guess it might suck for someone who never did anything to change their surroundings positively or be of service to others. That's not Shrimp's case and he's got a lot to be proud of.
