CMJK answering questions at his blog...

So, CMJK is answering fan questions at his blog, and someone posted a question about her instrumentals that he answered:

Q,
アルバムのインストについて質問です。
インスト曲ってどうやって作るんですか??
この曲とこの曲の間に合う曲を作って下さい。
みたいに言われて作るんですか??
それともこんな曲あります。みたいな感じなんですか?
あとタイトル考えてから作るのか、
曲が出来てからタイトルつけるんですか??

A,
これは完全にあゆちゃんの
アルバムのインストの事ですよね？

あゆちゃんに関しては
募集したらキリがありませんし
僕なんかが答えられる立場でも無いので
本来はお断りしたいんですが
今回だけ特別ですよー　特別！

そろそろ作れ！と言われて作ります
特に注文はありませんが
こんなの入ってたらかっこいいかな
おもしろいかなというのは
当然ある程度考えて作ってます

タイトルはあゆちゃんがつけたり
自分でつけたりケースバイケースです
曲ができてからタイトルを考えます

Translated by the awesome tethevo/teth:
Q: I have a question about albums' instrumental tracks. How do you make them? Does someone tell you "please put a track between this song and this song" and then you make them? Or do you tell them "I have a song like this" (and then they put it in)? Also, do you make the songs after the titles are decided or vice versa?"

A,

This is completely about Ayu-chan's albums' instrumentals isn't it?

When it comes to things concerning Ayu-chan, if I accept submissions on such questions then there would be no end to them...and it's not the place of someone like me to answer them so originally I would refuse to answer, BUT I will specially answer this one time only...only this time!

When they tell me "it's about time to make some!" I make them.
I don't get any special orders but I always think to a certain degree "if it would be cool or interesting if I put in this kind of music"

タイトルはあゆちゃんがつけたり
自分でつけたりケースバイケースです
曲ができてからタイトルを考えます

As for the title, Ayu-chan sometimes comes up with them...
and I also name them too
so it's a case-by-case basis
Titles are decided after the song is done

Interesting!

i don't get it...
someone please translate it...

It has now been translated by tethevo. Thank him and credit him for this translation.

COOL! this -is- interesting. that question has been in my head since I bought "I am..." in 2003 :D
thank you for this!

Very interesting =)
Thanks for translating ^^

wow interesting question and answer!!

i dont feel surprised if he rejects to answer, and i like the reason he gave, but i wonder why CMJK would answer this time??

Hehehe that's awesome! It was great how he picked up on it being a question about Ayu's instrumentals.

He probably chose it because he realized that it was about Ayu since she is the only one he has instrumental tracks for, haha.

And since a lot of people have probably been wondering about it, here it is! Haha.

What does he mean Ayu names them "sometimes"? ahha..for his tracks? I bet Not Yet was named by him LOL!

thanks for this!

Interesting little tidbit. :)
I wonder which ones Ayu named and which ones he named? My guess is that the wierder names are Ayu's. :roflmao

Yaaiii!!!! I'm getting really excited!
Thanks for the translation! :D

I would say Load of the SHUGYO was his... he loves using that word. Haha.

interesting Q&A....
thanks for the translation

so the title not decided by Ayu? I thought so far all song's title decided by herself

I actually don't get his answer :laugh
to me is like he didn't answer it all oh well

Eh? You didn't get it? I thought it was pretty clear.

Basically, he gets told to make instrumentals and he makes them. There's no specific type or anything that he's told to make, so he feels that he just makes what he feels the album needs [a la NEXT LEVEL's, I guess...] and when it comes to titles, sometimes Ayu makes the titles and sometimes CMJK does.

That's interesting. I wish the person would have asked how many instrumentals would be on the new album lol. He probably wouldn't have answered anyway.

oh this is very interesting
i really do wonder about who made which titles though XD
its nice of him to answer

If the question was that specific, I doubt he'd have even considered answering it, haha.

That's really interesting to know! And it's funny how annoyed he is with Ayu-related questions. :P

This is nice :D
Thanks :D

thanks a lot its very interresting

lol he basicly didn't answer the question xD
but it's some interesting info never the less

thanks for sharing, interesting

Thanks! I never knew.

Is there a link to the blog somewhere?

http://ameblo.jp/cmjk

There's also a list of all of Ayu's staff who have blogs at this blog:

Mm, dedicated Japanese Ayu fans.

I must say that CMJK rarely mentions stuff about Ayu, though he did talk a lot about his work in London with Yuta Nakano (called Nobita, I think, like how Ayu calls him) and mentioned a few acoustic guitar recordings for the album in London.

thanks for this! had no idea he would help with titles sometimes

He is god for creating "disco-munication". Seriously, interludes just don't get better than that, instant eargasm. Lets hope he created another masterpiece for the new album :D
