Yu Sakai on ‘Tiny Workdesk’ Launching, New Cd ‘PASADENA’: Meeting

Yu Sakai recently released his eighth CD Pasadena The title of the CD originated in Pasadena, a city in the suburbs of Los Angeles that he lived when he moved to the United States alone to become an artist. The 4 tracks on the CD were recorded in Los Angeles and he had such a passionate memory of it, and the other four tracks on the CD were composed in Tokyo and created by Shingo Suzuki (Ovall) (Ovall) (Ovall), an artist with pleasant competitors after YU returned to Japan. He also recorded 3 reward tracks in New York City in 2014, which has not actually been used on streaming before.

Last October, Yu commemorated the 15th anniversary of his founding work. Signature Japan talked to him about his expectations, representing his origin. He also discussed his current efficiency in a small show in Washington, D.C.

What prompted you to start making brand new CDs? When did you start?

Here are all the protocols we made with my ideal CD ( Yu Sakai’s playlist [White and Black]). Last March, I finished a CD scenic tour and then started videos in Los Angeles and Japan because of the summer.

Can you start a video discussion with Los Angeles recordings? The maker and songwriter of the brand new CD works with world-renowned musicians like John Tale, John Tale, Tender Love Care and Anderson.Paak. Did you write it by the tune?

We form one another from one aspect of a square.

So it starts with you going to the seminar and playing the piano?

Correct. Maybe I shouldn’t say it, but the tracks they actually prepared for me were just what I wanted, so I ended up denying each of them. They remembered that I composed the tune. They are all great tracks, but they have no clear attributes, shouting “Yu Sakai”. Trying to include these attributes in the tracks they are currently actually making, this simply brings unpleasant confusion, so I think it would be sure to be faster to go back to the first aspect. We formed 4 tracks from a part of a square.

Are there any kind of manufacturers associated with LA recordings particularly outstanding?

Sam Barsh is an excellent pianist who co-authored “Amakuna Kikenna Kaori”. I just hope to connect him all the time and play the piano, just two people. His highest quality did stumble upon the song. It has simplified jazz, metropolitan consistency.

What type of track are you going to release separately with “Pasadena”?

Los Angeles is not the kind of tune you can create in New York City (laughs).

So it has clear fresh grooves when you create in Los Angeles

precisely. From the beginning, I chose 3 points: I hope the target market repaints the scene at the moment of listening to the song, I hope this song will be the first tune on the CD, and I hope to complete the CD with folk songs. I chose the title of the CD Pasadena On the same day, we formed this song with each other. I’m similar to saying: “This C needs to be called PasadenaWoolen cloth”

You released the tune of “Pasadena” last December, and in January this year, the city of Pasadena was hit by a wildfire.

I really didn’t expect to see something like this.

The whole situation is so heartbreaking. However, the tune of “Pasadena” starts with “I’m back” and then after that, in the ode, you sing “Pasadena Beautiful”, so it’s just as much like the city’s momentum.

Yes you are right. I’m still upset with Pasadena and my heart is upset with everyone affected by the fire. To me, this actually ended up being an amazing tune.

What is the style of “What about you?”

National politics. It asked, “What are you most likely to do?” My own environment is just one of the vibrant resignations that can summarize my frame of thought in “Amakunai Kikenna Kaori” and “Got Ta Stand Up”.

So, what you are trying to communicate is that individuals should be positively connected to national politics?

Yes. Also, if you choose not to consider national politics, you can live through a life that is not affected by national politics. There is information about “related to you” and “stand up”. I think there are a lot of people who have encountered this difficult opponent and cannot imagine any means to solve the problems we are dealing with, so they do feel helpless and they surrendered to their participation in national politics. They do feel that ordinary people like us do absolutely nothing. But if there are political leaders, I don’t think the information of the federal government is, so all we can do is pay attention to the information and explain it. Just doing this simply will surely make a debut on them.

What were you assuming when creating “Amakunai Kikenna Kaori”?

I blogged on all the junk around the world to make it work in tune type. Do you recognize that there is this strange smell around us? You can smell something but you can’t see it. But, individuals are defending it. “Look, I’ll tell you you can see it!” “What?! Why can’t you see it?!” That’s what this song does. The debate is great, but they are developing divisions, so we fight each other. Most of us need to get along with each other.

This is a “recognition” and its good understanding of the subject.

precisely. “Understanding” is also related to the country’s politics and context. I think that’s exactly how I’m psychologically versing this CD.

Adjust the style, in March this year, you recorded a small table performance in Washington, D.C. To be honest, what is incorrect?

This is and will surely continue to be one of the most enjoyable trips I have never been before. But that was 3 days and 6 days, so it was hard (laughs). I was so worried and ecstatic that I didn’t really blink at night. I wanted to keep my singing cable on a big issue, so I really didn’t talk to anyone. I simply put the bed reasoning: “I’m looking forward to it. I questioned what it would definitely resemble. It’s a workplace, which shows that the audio will be respected? Anyway, I can sing with Nate Smith’s drums. I can’t wait.”

What repertoire have you played?

“Put Each Other” is a song I recorded recently in Los Angeles. It’s an easy-going tone, but we’ve increased the rate to make it best for the bottle opener. I also wanted to do the J-Pop series, so we did a collection of “Stories”, “Gaze, Meditation” and “Rose & Rhodes” with each tune reaching a minute and fifty percent, and then we finished “The Darkness of Sinatra, Sinatra, Sinatra, Sinatra, Sinatra, Sinatra, Sinatra, Cherry Bloom.” The tune is related to New York City, but Washington is understood for its understanding of cherry blossoms, so I intend to do it. It’s similar to a 20-minute program. However, the 20-minute eye blinked.

What should individuals pay attention to when they see your small table performing?

Playing J-Pop in the workplace in Washington, D.C., I hope the actual songs in the United States will definitely like to follow J-Pop.
