Next, talk about the theatrical version of the song itself. I believe that the audience who watched the OVA version, the theme song of the theatrical version of “FLCL” is led by “the pillows”, not only does not disagree, but also feels very reasonable. However, this time the work invitation, for the pillows” mountain, but there is a feeling of a thousand long-awaited, so that he was excited to feel “やったー!” “Oh!” (too good). .
Shanshan has long heard the rumors that “FLCL is expected to open again”, but after a long time, he never received any news from the animation producer, and he secretly thought, “There is no one else.” I finally changed my mind.” Although there is a small resentment in the heart of “when I was originally in the OVA version, I was so enthusiastic about my work,” I heard that it was not GAINAX that was responsible for the production of the theatrical version. The supervision was not a crane and a shackle. Therefore, it was shocked. I can think of how much. Just as the mountain had no choice but to endure the inexplicable sorrow and loss of the heart, the situation reversed rapidly. The producer actively asked him if he intended to take orders. Therefore, the mountain did not say anything and agreed. .
Since it is tailor-made, the other party will naturally propose relevant ideas and conditions. According to Shanzhong, this time, a total of two theme songs will be written for the two theatrical editions. The other party asks to submit one of them first. At that time, Yamanaka knew nothing about the outline of the story. He was only told that Chunhara Haruko would appear and that the protagonist was not a direct reminder. However, the adult straight will be a guest appearance, but it was heard at the beginning. However, at least in the “Progressive” mountain did not see the shadow of Straight, so he even suspected that he was auditory when he was drunk. .
Because I heard that adult straight is too late, when writing the song “Star overhead”, Shanzhong is a person who grew up to 27 or 8 years old and thinks about the one caused by Haruko when he was young. The series is crazy and totally ignorant of the so-called nostalgic feelings of the days. However, when the song was written to about 80%, the mountain suddenly realized that the song is a typical type of word-matching. It is absolutely impossible to upgrade to a background music with the same equivalent explosive power as Ride on shooting star. In addition, the producer said that “Progressive” is scheduled to be released in the United States, and the mountain has decisively hid “Star overhead”. Although he personally likes this one, he has received the cooperation of “FLCL” again after 17 years, if he is accused of “no” In the same year, Lian Po is old, but it is quite unpleasant. After all, the American audience is still separated by a layer of lyrics, and the important thing is the melody! The goal in the mountains is still to be made, like Ride on shooting star, an unprecedented alternative rock that has not yet shocked the global listener’s eardrum. He wants to take the opportunity to show the world that “pillows” is different from “Nirvana Band” and “Radio Commander”. This is the style that the real band really has! The song that carries the pursuit of music in the mountains is the current “Spiky Seeds”. In the mountains, frankly, everything is important in the style, and the lyrics are basically written. Of course, it can’t be written without any target. The keywords have to be locked in the “Qingzi”. In short, the words that feel good are selected, and the associations that are properly pleasing are finally put together. .
To put it bluntly, “Spiky Seeds” for Progressive is more to cater to the needs of the American audience. Because in the United States “Progressive” before the “Alternative” release, in order to catch up with the progress, the mountain first took “Spiky Seeds” to cross. At this time, the deadline for the deadline for “Alternative” is still free. In the mountains, I asked the village to supervise and plan what type of songs I want. As a result, the supervisor in the mail made a description of the story and the characters, saying that compared with the violent Rock, this film is more suitable for moderate and moderate taste. In this way, the original “Star overhead” that was originally written is very consistent with both the lyrics and the tune. In the middle of the mountain, the supervisor explained the original truthfully and let him audition, and the other party immediately said good. In fact, the reason why the mountain said a lot of the top, is to prove that “pillows” and “FLCL” are very good to match!
With the experience of many years of music in the mountains, similar chemical effects are not easy to occur. Moreover, if “Progressive” is to be released in the United States in advance, it will adopt “Spiky Seeds” as originally planned, and it is likely that “Star overhead” will not be heard in “Alternative”. It can only be said that “FLCL” is an unconventional, unfriendly interface, and mischievous alternative animations, and the “Ride on shooting star” that is ingenious, my own way, unintelligible, wild and powerful. Match. In the mountains, the song was not officially published, but he has already predicted the potential of the song. Although “Star overhead” is also a very good song, but it is not a burning value, it is an accidentally written song. Therefore, the mountain has to rush to reflect, “it should not be played according to common sense!”, immediately wrote “Spiky Seeds.” But then again, the back of the hand is all meat, so “Star overhead” is also included in the “pillows” album as usual. .
In fact, the 4 beats like “Star overhead” are still quite rare in the songs published by “pillows”. According to incomplete statistics in the mountains, in the 29 years of the debut, there are a total of 3 in the track list. 4th. But now the 4 beats have become the mainstream of the popular. According to the observation of the new orchestra in the music festival in the mountains, in the past 4 or 5 years, the songs of the 4 beats do occupy an absolute majority, since it is the “competition contest” of the prescribed style, “ The players in the mountains are also able to withstand the temptation to try. The principle of arranger is to listen to the guidance of the song itself, otherwise it will only be “four beats for 4 beats”, but Shan Zhong firmly believes that “Star overhead” is a song that is most suitable for interpretation with 4 beats. If you don’t believe in evil, you can try to beat the beat with different drums, and you will immediately notice the difference. Although I have a little resistance to the 4 beats in the mountains, if it is obviously suitable for the 4 beats of the song, but it must be hard to change, which is equivalent to veto the best solution for the music, the mountain still decided to respect the facts. He feels that a band with an average age of 50 like his own, when he was young, happened to experience the 80s of the slapstick songs. It really must not be played after playing. In the mountains where the development of music has evolved, the old 4 beats belong to the “Funk”. Today, this stock is derived from “EDM”. The two are different beats of the past. However, in order to perfect the songs, the mountain is willing to compromise and listen to the call of the song. .
As mentioned above, the lyrics of “Star overhead” are based on the theme of juveniles, while the two new theatrical editions are the main descriptions of high school girls. So what are the considerations in the mountains as the songwriter and singer? ? In the past, Shanzhong had explained to the supervisor that the source of inspiration for the lyrics was straight, but after the supervision, he clearly stated that there is no need to say anything, just write the song according to subjective wishes. This makes the mountain once again thankful that their own songs and “FLCL” are really a natural pair. When he adjusted the lyrics toward the direction of the popular narrative, he listened more and more like a song. Even if it is like a POP style, but how to listen is not like a song created by a rock band, even the mountains I feel that there is no end to match “FLCL”.
With the lyrics, you can still recognize the shadow of FLCL from Star overhead. Looking back at the young and frivolous years of lushness, the mountain once had no ambiguity, intoxicated creation, wrote a love song that was intertwined with the sweet joy of love, and a song of rock that was unwilling to vent and vent. However, even in the prime of the year, how can it be brilliant and thoughtful, after writing 100, 200, or even 300 consecutively, it is difficult for the creators to escape the embarrassment of inspiration and Jiang Lang. Therefore, the singer-sponsored singer who has such a resume in the mountains will be desperately trying to grasp the “thinking line” that has passed away in the blink of an eye. For the mountain, it can be said that just because of the opportunity of “FLCL”, he was able to harvest the above two songs. The rest of the creative activities can also be attributed to the creative impulses triggered by such specific events. The mountain describes it as the process of watering and cultivating tiny seeds to grow into large trees. The so-called practice makes perfect, the first and the 100th and 1000th written in this life are naturally not in the same order of magnitude, and the excitement and emotions experienced will be gradually reduced. Therefore, only by trying to make yourself happy and always stick to the creators of the past can you end up with a lasting creative endurance. At this point, Shanzhong believes that the orchestra is still doing a good job. .
According to the insights in the mountains, the “pillows”, which is about to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the formation of the band, is in the fourth issue of the final period. In the first period, everyone still “doesn’t have more things”, good or bad, and has a set of music and cleansing. It is like “the ear does not smell the heart”, and fears that it will be rejected by the “bad” viciousness of the outside world. Young people. Of course, Shanzhong also pointed out that there are certain exceptions for a few geniuses. For people like him who want to engage in originality but are unable to do their best, they are just getting darker and darker. In the end, they are just behind closed doors to make cars and make some strange things that are incredible. .
After a few reflections, I was determined to change the style of music. In the period of personal creation, I tried various styles such as jazz, soul, reggae, and Bossa Nova. At this time, the mountains are still “children are not taking off”, but they are just demonstrating to others that they are versatile, intelligent and capable. In the end, the love in the mountains is only rock, and the rest of the early works are follow-up products, so they are quickly overwhelmed and forgotten. .
熬 第 作品 作品No. 3. At that time, the mountains were proud of themselves from the bottom of my heart, but it was born from Manchester, England! After that, he quickly joined the “Alternative” mountain. He also thought that the style that led the “pillows” to implement the third period from now on, from the end, could not be used forever. Moreover, some people in the band feel that they have mixed their popularity, and they will no longer be short of money if they cut corners. In this case, the mountains with cleanliness can not be tolerated, and for this reason, the orchestra activities were suspended. If you think about that person, you can consider returning to the team if you turn to repentance. .
Then there is the fourth issue. Then, it is the end of life. Although the name of the “late period” is said to be a joke, but it reveals the helplessness of the mountains, it is difficult to cover up, and it will come back sooner or later. The age is getting longer and the health condition is also ringing the alarm. .
But there is no denying that “pillows” has accompanied the happy music life in the mountains. The mountain admitted that when he was unhappy in his early years, he was once a cynical cynic, but after playing the music of the OVA version of “FLCL”, the happy days began. Since then, no one has ever given orders to him, no need to bite his teeth to write some music that is against the heart, and you don’t have to fold for the five buckets of rice. You can do whatever you want without doing anything. There is also, somehow, the peers have also emerged a number of younger musicians who claim to like “pillows” music, excellent and sell.
The mountain is very grateful for the tolerance and goodwill of the current environment for music, and the malicious slander of the music industry. To be extreme, the mountains have already faded away from the “active period”. He hopes that one day he will become like Wang Zhizhi and Long Island Supervisor, who have switched from retired players to baseball supervisors. Even if they are no longer in the battle, they can strategize and command operations, and they are still attracting attention. This is the goal of the mountain in the current stage, and he is confident in the value accumulated by the band along the way. The three people of “pillows” have been struggling with all kinds of pains and finally seeing the clouds. Therefore, the mountains are eagerly awaiting, and everyone can enjoy the happy time of getting along with each other after suffering. Because in memory, there is always a bump between members. .
On the eve of the band’s 30th anniversary, due to the opportunity of the theatrical version of “FLCL”, “pillows” created new songs like “Star overhead” and “pilish seeds” of “pillows” style. It can be seen that the mountain knife is not old. It also allowed him to bathe in the happy spring breeze to welcome the 30th anniversary of the “pillows”. The resurrection of “FLCL” is undoubtedly the perfect time to cut. Therefore, Yamato sincerely thank Dongbao, thanks to Production I.G, and thanks to “Cartoon Channel”! .
