RADIO FREE TUJIKO II
Well, I couldn't wait any longer, and I haven't been impatient, but nobody seemed all that interested in publishing my unofficial English translation of Tujiko Noriko's 'radio' program found on her webpage. (The Japanese transcription is below that.) Perhaps I didn't shop it around to the right people? Oh, well. So here's the whole thing just for you, for free. Drop me a line if you enjoyed reading it.
---------------------------------------------------------------
TUJIKO NORIKO RADIO (English version)
Good morning/evening everybody! Tsujiko Noriko here. I make songs but I also sing and stuff too. So, I’m always alone in my room, plugging away at songs, taking drags on my cigarette, sipping beer and eating [Japanese] pickles while pecking away at my computer. When my friends see me like that, they always tease me, saying things like, “Tsujiko, you’re such a total geezer!” Let’s see...I like doughnuts and I’m also into Porsches. (laughs) So, about my songs...Oh yeah, I made an album and one of the tracks is about Porsches, so check it out OK? I’ll play that one now.
OK. Next is “White Film.” On this one, I was thinking about the day that I came across this fine, young guy. And then, I was reflecting on the beauty of youth (laughs) when I made it. I just kind of slapped it together with some sounds. Then my friend Hironobu Sasaki got in there and did a really detailed mix and kind of tinkered with the sounds. He really had a big hand in putting this one together, so thanks to him the track has a pretty good vibe and is kind of popular. My friends and I are really into it too. Well, just give it a listen OK?
Here’s “Bebe.” This one’s kind of long. My stuff always turns out on the girlie side, but I really like more macho-sounding music with a driving beat like hip-hop or some other kind of crazy stuff. But for some reason I just can’t make that kind of music, so I thought that I’d try and do a track that could break out in rhythm. As far as the content goes...people like like Mie Nakao, and Ms. Ito...Midori was it? Oh right, her name’s Yukari! Anyway, I’m going off on a tangent here, but a friend of mine told me about that song “Konichiwa Akachan” [“Hello baby” in the Japanese, a popular song which celebrates motherhood]: you guys know it’s not being played at all these days? They say it’s not very PC if you play it because people who can’t have children are gonna feel offended. So I (laughs) didn’t know about that and I was...er, singing it. Well, when I made my song, I didn’t have a clue about the “konichiwa akachan” thing. Anyway, I was pretty surprised (laughs)! Oh, and I’m also totally clueless when it comes to French. My French it so strange! If a French person hears it, they’ll probably be like “What the hell are you taking about?!?” When it comes to French like that, I can speak a little bit: basic, greeting-level stuff. Well, please give it a listen...and try not to get angry. “Bebe.”
OK. Well, now I’m chatting with a rather cute individual who happens to be here at the moment. Anyway, I’m gonna make a song called “Father,” or actually “The father who never comes home” and I think my dad’ll get pissed-off again. Next up is one titled “Tokyo.” It’s a pretty common title, so actually I don’t really even like it myself. Ummm...I often think things like, “Man, Tokyo is so filthy!” but at the same time it’s so dirty that it’s beautiful, or something like that. It’s a “so wack that it’s totally cool” kind of thing, you know? Well, I kind of fell in love with Tokyo and wrote and sang this one.
Actually, I was living in Osaka, I was also born there, but about 6 years ago, when I was 18 -- I’m 24 years old now (laughs) -- I moved to Tokyo. Recently it’s like I’ve gotten tired of Tokyo. What I’m saying is that I want to live in a different city with my significant other. Now I’m living in a place which is, even for a filthy city like Tokyo, pretty filthy. But it’s also so filthy that I’m into it. I’m living in Ikebukuro. [Ikebukuro is a large, somewhat seedy city in the Tokyo metropolitan area with a thriving red-light district.] From the station it’s around a 10 min. walk through a residential area, but there are a lot of apartments and condos too. So anyway, since I’m a girl, during that 10 min. walk not that many people try and talk to me, but when my male friends visit me here, the street girls are like [Tsujiko here is impersonating a foreign accent in Japanese], “Hey there!” What else was it? Oh yeah, “Massage! Wanna massage?” (big laughter) and stuff like that. What else were they saying? I forgot! But it looks like the people who pass by them are always getting propositioned, one right after another. And then...well you can always see like 10 of those girls standing around. But you know, there are a few that you’d think were Japanese. Yeah, well...that kind of thing. Oh, and the supermarket’s open really late here. Like until 5 AM. That’s pretty cool. Well, whatever. OK, here’s filthy Tokyo for you...
I started thinking that this summer I’d get into surfing, because one of my new friends -- I wonder, was it last year or two years ago that we met -- went abroad to study surfing [Japan has many surfing aficionados, but poor waves], but I guess he didn’t really get much studying done, huh? I’m not sure. Anyway, it looks like my friend was doing a lot of surfing abroad, and I guess he’s still going surfing in Chiba Prefecture or somewhere. So I was thinking that I’d go too, but...So the next one’s called “Mannequin Surfer.” It’s about surfing. Surfing and a mannequin. (laughs) That pretty much sums it up! (laughs) I’m really into this one. Yeah, I guess I like the lyrics. I’ve got a mannequin-heart. (laughs) What the hell am I saying?!? (big laughter) Weird! Anyway, this one has an icy feel and I think it’s cool to listen to it in the summer. Check it out!
So now I’ll play “Marble Waltz”. On this one, I was really going on no sleep, and on top of that I was drinking -- it kind of wrote itself when I wasn’t looking. Yeah, this one’s pretty cool. Oh, so my mom hates my music. She’s always saying things like, “Oh, Noriko! What’s with these dark songs?” There was something else too, “Make it sound more like Misia or Utada Hikaru or...” No wait! That wasn’t it! It was Ayumi Hamazaki! “Make it more like Ayumi’s music!” she would say. She never gives me one single word of praise, and actually that’s a pretty big letdown. So I wonder if I can get my mom Chieko to listen to this one that I sort of made. Mommy, please listen!
OK, this is the last one. This one is...umm...you know how at the beginning I was talking about how I liked doughnuts and Porsches and stuff, right? Well this one’s called “Porsche” but it’s not that great! (laughs) I just slapped that title on it! Recently, I went riding for the first time in a Porsche with the top down, and it was such a rush! They’re so cool, right!? I wonder if any dumb-ass college chicks will get pissed off if they hear this? Some people might even think of me as a dumb college girl too. Anyway, I love cool stuff. Yeah, this one was actually titled “Konchusaishu” [“insect collecting” in the Japanese] at first. (laughs)
So on this one, I was really going flat-out right from the start. It was the same with the lyrics too: green bugs, swallowtail butterflies, and lots of other insects show up in this song. It seemed like a really fun song, but then when I really thought it over, I was like, “Huh, guess this one isn’t so great after all!.” So I kind of choked. Then I was really trying to polish it up and rework it. So I was watching F1 racing on TV; I’m really into F1. The cars just thunder by! So I heard from a friend of mine -- this really made an impression -- that since the F-1 cars are racing pedal to the metal, after the race they can’t really run anymore. Well I mean, of course they can still run, but they’re kind of “spent” after that: just a burnt-out hulk. When I heard that I thought, “Wow, cool!” There I was flooring it, making “Konchusaishu” (laughs) and then before I knew it, it was going in file 13. Well, that kind of reminded me of the Porsche thing. It’s a beautiful song. When I made it, I thought, “Let’s burn some rubber!” Well, that’s it. Bye!
