LAST LOVE LETTER | Yojiro Noda

いつか出逢う君に今歌うから 顔も知らない君に歌うただ 「馬鹿みたい」って言うなよ テンパって間違えてしまうだろ

いつか逢えるかな 胸の中 スッポリ抱きしめられるかな いつか逢えるなら 今じゃだめ？ もう待っていられそうにないんだ

///

This song I’m singing is for you whom I’ll meet one day, Whose face I don’t know “That’s so silly,” you say, but please don’t Or I’ll get tense and screw up singing this song

When we ever meet, Can I enfold you in my heart? If we were to meet, could it be now? Cause I don’t think I can wait any longer

(Archive) Honorable mention: Isle of Dogs (2018)

Originally posted: January 5th, 2022 Huh, another stop motion film about Japan? What are the odds? Well, I think it's an interesting companion piece for Kubo in that the way they approach representing the country is diametrically opposite. Where as Japanese culture played a significant role in Kubo, ranging from art to folklore and even some of the philosophy of the characters, Isle of Dogs has the country's aesthetics(namely of Showa era Japan) as a mere backdrop for a story that could've probably taken place anywhere else. Kubo did face some criticism about it's predominantly white cast for a story set in Japan, but Isle of Dogs got much more flak for a plethora of reasons…and it's honestly not hard to see why.

While I can't say it comes from a consciously malicious place, Wes Anderson has a record of using foreign cultures for exoticism in the past and Isle of Dogs keeps this trend. Between one of the most important agents in the conflict being a white girl, to the rather neglectful way the Japanese language is handled(both in written and spoken form), it probably will rub some the wrong way. It was intended as a homage, but it can come across as orientalism instead. That said, some of this is probably an artistic choice about the movie's themes, considering translation issues in communication are a core part of the experience. You be the judge on that one.

So…this awkwardness aside what other things does the film offer? The charming, Wes Anderson awkwardness and quirkiness, of course. Deadpan humor, stunning and highly symmetrical cinematography, a color palette controlled down to the milimeter, some black comedy(with a few instances of grotesque imagery)and a movement quality in the animation that homages Rankin Bass with intentionally off timing. Potential stereotypes aside, the cast is also a likable and dynamic bunch, a little of kilter but charmingly so.

It's a film that genuinely gives a lot to talk about. In so many ways.

对我来说是一次“莫名”的行程。 朋友托我今天去代官山茑屋书店帮她买本书。想想很久没去这里了，就做了计划。上午录制完《在地与离岸》第13期，收拾收拾就出发了。 出门的时候朋友特意给我打气，“社长可能有机会见到很多漂亮的中/日妹子呢”，我就开始脑部一段情节： 某小众论坛上，某活动主办方发帖，“亲们，我们这么好的活动，感觉特别缺一个经典的‘奇怪的大叔’形象在现场参与排队，到处张望看妹子们。求问有人有资源吗？急，在线等！” 然后我这位朋友就主动请缨发帖，说，她来给安排一个。于是就找到我了。 嗯，所以吧，我就要好好去做群演了。 现场人没有想象中那么多，据说某次活动排七八个小时队 …… 买的书特别大、厚、重，7500日元；然后很多周边，价格都不菲，买了这个、买了那个，还遇到卖完的，基本都要了两份。最后结算36000日元。 我都替人心疼这钱。我自己是不太能进入到这种“热衷”状态，但是其实跳出来看，我倒是很羡慕的。人生大概总是要这么过去的，而那些充满热情、期待的所有时间，都是宝贵而美好的。 激动不起来的中年才乏味吧。 然后我自己去看摄影书了，流连着突然就有点焦虑，不想看了。于是顺从自己内心奇怪的声音，迅速离开了。有点“逃离里代官山茑屋书店”的感觉。我其实知道是为什么，在这么庞大的摄影书世界里迷失了，完全看不到自己可能的位置，就惶恐焦躁了。 回来才知道自己买的也是一本摄影书。然后就顺便被科普了很多日本大众文化有关的知识。 Takeshi Yao 算是被 野田洋次郎（Yojiro Noda）的官方摄影师了，相关现场和活动都是他拍摄的。Yojiro Noda 和他的乐队在日本已经获得了很好的成功，但因为被著名动画导演 新海诚 相中，最近几部“顶流”成功的动画片都是 Yojiro Noda 来处理的音乐部分，所以被带入了国际舞台。 这本《White Day Dream》某种意义就算是全球巡演的记录，Takeshi Yao 全程拍摄了非常多的照片，出了这本写真集。 很好看。 所以这算是一种怎样的成功？摄影师的成功？还是乐队的成功？或者是新海诚的成功？ 究竟是做出了非常好的内容产品就会获得成功？还是说必须进入到日本的这一套超级文化产业链条里才能有这样的成功？ 我不太确定。
