以下是我整理的坂本龙一Beauty演奏会访谈:
I really wanted to do the Last Emperor, and finally I was asked. But I expected to do music first, but I was asked to do acting for the film. So I was surprised twice.
Bernardo is really really difficult to work with. He's like an artist in the 19th century, you know, really artistic. When I was working with him, I was all the time forced to do writing music more emotionally, more, more, more! You know his dialect--(so) "More!More!"--The "More"s. So I tried hard.
I'll tell you about my dream. To do "Beauty Live", I have to bring different musicians, many musicians from all of the world. And this band, this orchestra, I would say, I would call it Neo Geo orchestra. And what's "Neo Geo"? This means "new geography" or "new map". And this map is in my mind. In this map, like New York is beside Tokyo, is beside Beijing, beside Romania. It's democracy. And I think it's a dream, but music makes it real.
注释:the "More"s在日文字幕中被译为:“更”攻击。
democracy在日文字幕中被译为:民主世界。
不好意思,最后一句music makes it real我在做片断截取的时候不小心截掉了。现在补在文字中。
在Beauty中坂本龙一提出了他自己的音乐理想,就是所谓的“Neo Geo”风,即可以跨越地理界线,使得世界各地的音乐都得以互相沟通,互相尊重,是一种音乐上的世界大同。
