Just wanted to share, as you may be interested : we had a long and really interesting interview with Bentley Jones on mimu, he talks about his passion for Jpop and his work on this album.

The article is available both in english and in french.

Here it is : Bentley Jones interview.


Greetings :)

Quote:

"The way the Japanese composers I worked with created their music had quite an impact on me, and it was shortly after that I was introduced to Ayumi Hamasaki. I was looking for Above and Beyond remixes and I came across their remix of ‘M’ on YouTube. I thought it was great but one of the comments said “the original is better” so I checked out the original and I thought it was incredible! Nothing like anything Western and it had a very raw emotional quality to it. From then I was hooked. "

GU: Did you ever get the chance to meet Ayumi Hamasaki?

BJ: No, not yet! (laughs) When I heard she called EMI, it was trippy, completely trippy. It was one of those mornings that I worked until silly o'clock in the morning and my manager from EMI called me up and very casually said "we've got permission for this track and this track. Oh, and Hamasaki-san called us yesterday and said that she loves your version of 'Depend On You' and approves your lyrics". And I was like "What, Hamasaki-san personally?", and he replied with "Yea". I put the phone down and it didn't hit me for a couple of hours and then I was just calling everyone.

GU: So you never got the chance to speak to her personally?

BJ: No unfortunately, but yea, you never know. I'm doing a lot more work over there this time and I'm going to be spending a lot more time over there. So if our paths cross...

GU: Maybe when you've sold a couple of 10s of millions more albums she'll want to do a collaboration?

BJ: If I reached a quarter of her level, I'd die a happy man.

More press coverage and exposure for Ayu in a Western market, perhaps?

jbrat2219 28th July 2009 02:21 AM

Oh wow, I'd love to get Ayu's approval, how cool! I wonder if she understood the English lyrics perfectly.
