Question 49
Many Japanese artists are doing various activities aiming to expand overseas, but I think that it is not possible to achieve the desired results.
*Of course, there are various scales of achievements. What do you need to be active in the world like Professor & YMO?
Music production men in their thirties
Professor answer:
I think it needs to be "music that cannot be replaced."
In programs such as "American Idol", there may be Asian young people born in the United States and raised in the United States who sing R&B like blacks, but no matter how good the song is, only Asian people will remain until the end. can not.
Audience chooses "singer who is good at singing black people" over "singer who is good at singing like black people".
The same can be said for rock and pop, not just for R&B.
I think it is very difficult for Asians to achieve global success in the so-called mainstream.
Neither YMO nor I myself have been successful in such places.
In that respect, many Asians have been successful in non-orientated genres such as classic, jazz, and crossover. Unfortunately, that trend will not change much in the future.
However, if "a talent that cannot be replaced" emerges, there may be possibilities.
Question 50
I think the professor is a "deified person" from the perspective of ordinary people (including those involved in the industry).

Planning Promotion Women in their 20s
