[ENG SUB] My 10 Golden Rules - Nakata Yasutaka 1/2

[@いぬ犬-w5k]

中田ヤスタカって本当に天才ですよね…… 鳥肌立つすごい音楽しか作らない。 でも才能だけでここまできたわけじゃなくてちゃんと自分の意思をもって音楽に向き合ってることがこの動画でわかりました

[@kenji2463]

5:56 「あと、作ってる人…も借りてああだこうだ言われるよりも買ってああだこうだ言われた方が納得いくじゃんみたいな」 これって素敵な考えだなぁって思いますね。作り手も売上が入ってくる。買った側もハッキリと意見が言える。対等な感じがしますね。

[@Heroyesterday]

He's disgustingly talented. I don't think there's anyone near as prolific in music today.

[@JaMal-ps1zh]

Just goes to show, you don't need a top notch studio, you just need talent and time.

[@RmaNYouTube]

He is an Underrated Genius !!!

[@jeraldhughes7808]

I discovered Yasutaka Nakata in 2014. I have since bought every CD with his work on it. Early on, these were imports from Japan - worth it!!! Like others listed below, I include him in the very top rank of musicians in popular music. My favorite work has a harder edge to it: most of capsule, mid-period Perfume, MEG Step, but all of it is worth owning. Just on raw musical talent: melody, harmony, counterpoint, rhythm, SYNTHESIS, arrangements - he's #1. Can't get enough!!

[@biconditionals]

Ah he's so awesome. I love that he's a total control freak and a bit of a social outcast. All genius songwriters are like this.

[@memoriesentwined1167]

新時代、最高の曲です。中田ヤスタカ氏、心から尊敬します。

[@dsm3490]

作詞作曲、レコーディングエンジニアとか1人でやってて良い曲作るとか化け物すぎる。

[@davidtollefson8411]

I watched this awhile ago when I was first getting into the music of Perfume. Now I am a big fan, and believe this man to be a musical genius on par with many of the greats (Bacharach, ABBA, Kraftwerk etc.), just his work with Perfume makes him legendary. And to see such a simple studio create such great work is truly interesting and inspiring. I've been listening to the new Perfume release Plasma obsessively, and find his song-writing and arranging abilities to be at the highest level, still. I have never known, though, if the guitar on Perfume is him or someone else.

[@CaropBec]

He is amazing. I'm sure you probably already listened to Capsule too, but if not check out songs like 'Transparent' 'Control' and 'In The Rain.' Also the last Capsule album 'Metro Pulse' is quite similar to Plasma, very 80s vibes. Nakata is a genius - I feared he'd lost it with the commercial EDM sounds of Cosmic Explorer and Wave Runner, but he's back to making music that is as good as anything in his amazing 20+ years discography. As for the guitar, I always assumed it was samples since it mostly seems like repeating loops rather than 'live' - but could be wrong.

[@NikiWonoto26]

i just want to say thank you very much for sharing & subbing this video, i've been looking everywhere for yasutaka nakata's interview, and finally found it on your excellent channel & video!

[@ann29light]

1. Don't make a stock of songs 2. Do not rent (making music in a rented studio does not give freedom) 3. Do everything by yourself as much as possible 4. Have beer at a club 😂 (don't forget to socialize with people and have fun!) 5. Ringtone is silence, black display (I want to hear music when I want to hear it, and ringtone is not that music) 6. Do not listen to music while moving/doing something (because I will focus on the music and pay attention to details, and you need to enjoy the different sounds at different places) 7. Don't take medicine until last minute (only take medicine when you need it during emergency) 8. Decide what to eat before working (enjoy food! Eating is a source of energy and motivation) 9. Be inspired by future pros (get inspired from watching people have fun while working on their job) 10. Make music that I want to hear myself.

[@iampetergriffin]

Thanks for uploading and subbing this! This is really awesome!! Greetings from the USA :D

[@notrombones5041]

Nakata's only possible obstacle to international fame may be the reluctance (at least perceived) of English-speaking countries (US, esp) to sing-along in a foreign language, as much of the world was compelled to do (in English) with The Beatles. Admittedly, it is a big obstacle, but the brilliance of a great pop artists can break through this reticence, as has been proven before. If Nakata doesn't do it, someone else will, someday. I still believe in the power of music to change the world.

[@EpicHotCheese]

This guy will become to god of future pop one day. The entire world will recognize his music.

[@rick9021090210]

wow... so the saying "big things start small" is true hu?... big hits start in that humble room... but for me at least, it's hard to imagine for instance Nocchi, A-chan, Kashikuya, Toshiko or Kyary recording their voice parts in that tiny boot... since he has produced music for all of them... Nakata Yasukata, "honto ni arigato gozaimashita" for sharing this with all of us...

[@TheDobermanTriangleMusic]

Nakata-san is so inspiring.

@DragonGooey Go download massive demo. And you can try to choose among it's collection of basic oscillator. This kind of sound is the reason why massive is also the go to for complextro n dubstep.

[@MusisiKamarIndo]

@DragonGooey It's massive from native instrument. It's just the basic oscillator actually.

[@freecss927]

[@bravetherainbow]

I love 4:31 just a simple little room where everything happens :)

[@DragonGooey]

@Camido2003 nono, I have the the collection of basic oscillators, but I don't know which one it is. Nakata's sound is like an "electro saw", but I don't think anything in the collection sounds the same.

[@notrombones5041]

I realize the the techno trappings (mechanized beats) and vocoder-alteration of the voices in Nakata's work is a turn-off for some listeners. But the melodic inventiveness, structure, and masterful modulations are umistakeable characteristics of a master pop composer--Probably the best Japan has ever produced (with the composer behind AVTechNO perhaps being 2nd?). I definitely find this music to be fresher and more melodically inventive than most of what I hear in The West these days.

[@notrombones5041]

Being a traditionalist myself, I tend to agree with you on the band/collaboration aspects. Actually, I found Nakata quite by accident, since I am not normally a fan of DJ/dance music. Normally, I listen to progressive rock like Gentle Giant, or jazz like Chick Corea, or varied artists such as Mew, Beck, Cocteau Twins, etc etc

[@jeraldhughes7808]

VERYery much like my process. I started listening to Yes and ELP in 1977, and I've stayed within progressive rock and generally more complex music genres. Got to Yasutaka via Kids React KZbin video my kids found with Kyary Pamyu. I could tell just from Pon Pon Pon that this was music worth following up on. Second piece heard was MEG 'Why', 3rd was Perfume 'Edge'. Multiple 'omg' moments, right in a row.

[@notrombones5041]

@@jeraldhughes7808 - --- Nakata is just a flat-out phenomenal melody writer who seems to have a total mastery of song structure and all its variations. I'd love to hear his songs done by a great band with top-flight musicians and strong vocals and harmonies. Have you heard "Transparent", by Capsule? What a chord progression---OMG!! A Unique and magical song, IMO (Steely Dan meets Journey?). And songs like "Electric Light Moonlight) (Capsule), and "Have a Stroll" and "575" (Perfume)----I swear to god, these are huge hits, if done by a bit more mainstream-type (i.e. non-techno) band. I have this obsession that many of his songs could break BIG in America. It may sound crazy, but it has happened before----a song sung entirely in Japanese went to #1 in America and much of the world in 1963; Not a word in English, but the beautiful melody and elegant simplicity of the song captured the hearts of millions. That song was named (to appeal to a US audience) "Sukiyaki". This is JMO, but I think Nakata's songs could do the same thing, and perhaps many times over. If Nakata were to truly break internationally as a songwriter, he'd be a billionaire in a couple of years. Almost a "1-man Beatles" . Of course, this is JMO. :) I'm in my 70s now, but if I were young and playing in a good band again, I'd be doing "Spider" (Capsule) and "Clockwork" (Perfume), with that band, for sure.

[@ginosaputosalvatore]

[@タニグチ-y5r]

ドリキンさんと話が合う感じ、分かるわ〜

[@notrombones5041]

He might be the best pop songwriter in the world already. I've read he is not totally comfortable with fame and popularity. Well, he better get used to it. Once his reputation breaks thru in The West, he could be as famous as The Beatles. Yes. I used the "B" word: Beatles. His talent is in a league with theirs, for sure. I've been listening to great pop music for over 1/2 a century. I know what I'm talking about. Yasutaka Nakata is The Real Deal.

[@MusisiKamarIndo]

@DragonGooey You're just not looking at the basic osc on massive hard enough then.

about his phone.... why dont he have the old " RING RING.. RING RING" not music :P

[@notrombones5041]

OK, I qualified my statement. And your response: chirp...chirp... Nakata is as capable musically as my own heroes and musical role models such as McCartney, Bacharach, Jobim, Hatch, Wonder, etc etc etc, and he is clearly SUPERIOR to the current crop of hit songwriters, who write mainly to the star-power appeal of the singer, than they do to the actual lasting excellence of a quality song. If you want to discuss this point using specific songs and their structure/analysis/appeal, fire away.

[@notrombones5041]

OK, didn't mean it to be a duel or anything. I just feel Nakata's melodic/compositional gifts and productivity are on a par with the greatest post-50s song composers like Bacharach, McCartney, Carlos Jobim (a major influence of Nakata's work with Capsule, it would seem), Stevie Wonder, Elton John, etc. I don't speak Japanese, so I can't say how great his lyrics actually are (although translations are compelling). I also don't know of any current pop songwriters who can out-melody him.
