I heard on the participating artists

Flagship artists, Shinji Tanimura's interview

 

1982, still Shibuya called the city of music, Hatano, who open a live house that La.mama in just a little secluded location of the above Dogenzaka before To much. Together with a number of live house which produced the famous musicians, the city of Shibuya the changing to the president of Hata has continued watching for 25 years, for the expected approach to the "Shibuya Music Festival" that takes place in the music of memories and November 19 talk the we heard.

- Shibuya The live house gave birth to La.mama to little was 1982 is, why?

At first it was not in the category of live house. Originally, I am there also was doing a play and musical, in a theater of non-genre to do until the wedding not only live and musicals, I think it was a place where you can also meal. However, as the musical becomes the main, it has come to be more and more good work. But, the more I If you're work Ironically, the audience is not me to a meal in the hut. It becomes painful is management at the opportunity, while shouldering the debt, if Mr. Monch was Kuwashika' to music when I think of what to: (currently BAD MUSIC president), Nde was told, "can do it live house", the choices I decided to change the music and there is only this to the hut, which was the main.

--La.mama Because the audience of specific mortar type, but I was the flow of time was a theater.

That's right. In hindsight, the I mortar type, seems was good as a live house. Normally, I thing that or go outside If you came out of no interest band, while sitting on the floor, made to feel like being in Fountain Square, seems anxious to see the live of the various bands. Because there is no money as we, but not Ppoku live house but I just decided I would go anyway. But, the interior has changed quite hard. I bought the cement and wood, all that is required is to made on their own, with or fallen wall from the ceiling When removing the electric decoration, I because There was also things like could lead to major accidents. It has now become but is a funny story. Doing live at night, it is during the day or sleep in the dressing room in the back and leave the reception staff. "Dressing room in the back with a strange uncle has a sleeping Futari!" Came the band to do a live or is said (laughs).

- Not the first from the completed form, it is that the live house that has been built up in their own hands.

Such portion is very large. At one point, Ellen Stewart, who is a La.mama owner of the birthplace New York, it was there that I came here. A bad foot, It was a bitterness likely when you are down the stairs of out, I was seemed that somehow tired, become a pack and a bright face to the moment you enter the audience I "is not such a great space." I think I was me saying. "It contains so the hand of man, because the warm space is not, I want to show it to the entire staff of New York" (laughs). I think it it about handmade feeling was.

- Time from the time, did you come to be recognized as a live house?

ライブハウスとして動き出してからも最初のうちは大変でしたね。でも、バンド連中が“渋谷にLa.mamaっておもしろい小屋があるよ”って口コミで広げてくれてからは、どんどんスケジュールが埋まるようになってきましたね。同じころタイミングよく「イカすバンド天国」という音楽番組が始まったこともあって、注目度が高くなったんですね。そのおかげでブレイクした連中がLa.mamaの名前を口にしてくれるようになってからですよね、認知度が高まったのは。僕らの一緒にいい音楽を作っていきたいという思いが、バンドにもちゃんと伝わった結果なんじゃないかなと思ってますよ。 米米クラブが「3日間 La.mamaでライブをしたい」と言うのを、「半年以上も出演を待たせているバンドもたくさんいて…」と断ったのもこの頃ですね。

Perform live in La.mama "SPIRAL"

- But a lot of the band had been active in La.mama, Do you have a band that left an impression?

There are a lot. After all, the Tteyuu artists continue to break in, I because it is seriously the staff in front of the audience. "I called the guys music, I want to make a good live," I do not countless Nante bands Omowasa with. But, if it said that most, I guess is JUN SKY WALKER (S). Mon pond kun is very like that of them, because together to want to make the office, I It is also the opportunity to have graduated from La.mama on the grounds that. It is also similar to THE YELLOW MONKEY. Yoshii-kun I thought it was vocalist with a charismatic aura. In addition, the story of the great artists are too numerous to mention. The Miyazawa's Boom Nante, it to human nature is rich. And everyone, here is a place to talk about the dream, it was me to say that meeting place to fulfill the dream.

There are audition in order to appear to --La.mama, do we have to look at what kind of place?

There is that kind of band is always also come "three remember the fool", now if it is not strong band of the message of feel the intelligence, does not work. To do this, 1. Importance of staging full of ingenuity, 2. Rhythms and musical expression of the richness of importance, 3. The importance of physical balance of live. Do it the three neat, I'll get better in one month. 2 months in dull people. But it because no ginger in that it has not done it. Doing three months After vain Come say to me N Toko. Because there is a sleeping can be the room, it'll be special training in staying somewhere due to circumstances in there (laughs). Originally audition, I would do things that do not take the money, I think you also for I have no choice but to current situation where taken. It is, more than you have got the money, at the same I I think that it is not must return the same feelings I. Or more, which continues out to La.mama, be sure to hop to. Instead, what will either step it band soon. I band, it's Chau Utoshi to find a place that can jump as soon as a good tone, not to properly is step, but not a triple jump'm Ikeike steadily, the same thing as stick to the Sand from the head. Such band is, nobody'll I will not lend a hand again, also can not start over again from step turned back. That because I have a lot of Nante band you are hanging around doing so, I say to sour the mouth. But, a recent band, it because it is good. We will continue to quickly graduated from the live house, but words have not seen the band was in mouth, such as that about the last 10 years "We will break absolutely!". In the past, I because it was one of the status of the live at Budokan. Band with a large goal there is, I think the energy is different going there. And, Blake and me were bands from out, as once a famous band "at this stage of the Budokan undercard, La.mama is the production" I'm happy if me said there ne.

- What is that live house Shibuya expect to "Shibuya Music Festival", which through to Everyone?

I Another in addition to the La.mama, I'm thinking more non-genre huts want. When you are a band that has appeared in La.mama with a focus on the hut and lock meet at something event, I do think it me that it is the spread of the music. Rock band members and classical player, I Made up of taiko of people and JAZZ. It is, we are planning "Now, please" not 's what to do I, that rise with nature in a place that gathered artists with each other I think it's ideal. Because Shibuya music festival, I'm think that's what has been realized in that my ideal a little more great form. Artists of various genres, to gather in the city of Shibuya. It the people of fans without barriers of live house, could spin look freely. It'll be great I it. The Tteyuu live house, it was in much recognition, I citizenship has not been obtained. Noise problem, I because you come out is also a problem of the locals, but I think that it is better to had the association to work properly good. In the wake of the Shibuya Music Festival, First live house, artists, that the audience will liven up the streets of Shibuya, After me touch the more various music, I guess I think that happy.
