内容説明
Julian Cope, eccentric and visionary rock musician, follows the runaway underground success of his book "Krautrocksampler" with "Japrocksampler", a cult deconstruction of Japanese rock music, and reveals what really happened when East met West after World War Two. It explores the clash between traditional, conservative Japanese values and the wild rock 'n' roll renegades of the 1960s and 70s, and tells of the seminal artists in Japanese post-war culture, from itinerant art-house poets to violent refusenik rock groups with a penchant for plane hijacking.
Book Description
Julian Cope, eccentric and visionary rock musician, hip archaeologist and one time frontman of Teardrop Explodes, follows the runaway underground success of his book Krautrocksampler with Japrocksampler, a cult deconstruction of Japanese rock music. Japrocksampler is a history of Japanese youth culture in the post-war years. It explores the clash between traditional, conservative Japanese values and the wild rock 'n' roll renegades of the 1960s and 70s, telling the tale of six seminal groups of artists in Japanese post-war culture, from itinerant art-house poets to violent refusenik rock groups with a penchant for plane hijacking. Japrocksampler reveals what really happened when East met West after World War Two and the mayhem that ensued ... and is a must for anybody interested in modern music and Japanese culture. The book concludes with enticing reviews of Julian's Top 50 Jap Rock albums.

細かい間違いや勘違いはありますが、戦後からの日本アングラシーンは、外国のミュージシャンからこう見られるのかという発見の方が多いです。というよりも、日本人の自分が知らない事の方が多いかも・・・取り上げているミュージシャンは筆者が断わっている通り、偏ったものになっているかもしれませんが、それは仕方がないでしょう。下手にあれもこれもと取り上げるより、話のまとまりが出てると思います。しかし、評論家の人が書く本よりも、ミュージシャンの視点で書かれている本書の方が音楽の捉え方に関しても説得力はあると思います。同じような本が今日本語で出版されていない状態を考えると、売れるとは全く思えないイギリスでよくこんなの販売したと思います。その心意気も含めて星4つ。後はこの人日本人の友達にちょっと校正チェックして貰っていたら、細かいミスは無かっただろうに・・・。日本の出版社にもこのような本、もう一度出版して欲しいですね。

読み物としては面白いけど人物の相関関係とかはかなり滅茶苦茶。
だから｢日本のロックの黎明期｣とかの基本的な資料には成りえないと思う。
これを真に受けては史実としてかなり歪み誤解して取る事になる。
悪い本では無いが事実を基にしたフィクションだと思う。
この本で周辺事情を知ったつもりになり、ここから語ったら恥をかくであろう。
実際の体験者や時代を生きた方以外ならば、本書以前に本書に登場するバンド群のいくつかのCDやレコードをリイシューや非公式版等でも良いから、興味を持って実際に聴いたり探したりした体験がある人や当時のシーンやそれらを取り巻く背景にイメージを持てる感覚のある方に向く本だ。
つまり、憚らず言わせていただけば、初心者向きでは無いと思われます。

Excellent
2007/9/20
形式:ハードカバー
Follows up on Mr. Cope 1995's Krautrocksampler, which detailed Germany's (1st of 3 Axis powers) late 60's early 70's heavy pysch and experimental music scene.
This book details Japan's (2nd of 3 Axis powers) late 60's early 70's heavy pysch and experimental music scene.( Therefore, it Does Not deal with contemporary noise/pysch Acid Mothers Temple, etc or JRock scenes).
Beautifully written, enclosed in a hardbound, "trade paperback size" book. Divided into two books: Book One has four chapters that deal with Japan pre and post World War II, the impact of Western/American culture, rock'n'roll, (GS)Group Sounds(the Mops, Jacks, etc) emergence and decline, the confluence of the Japanese avant garde, jazz, and rock scenes with the youth culture explosion of the 60's.
Book Two has 8 chapters, which deal with specific bands as follows:
Come Together 1969 (Blues Creation)
Flower Travellin Band
Les Rallizes Denudes
Speed, Shinki, and Glue
Taj Mahal Travellers and Takehisa Kosugi
J.A. Caesar and the Radical Theatre Music of Japan
Masahiko Satoh and the Free Thinkers' Union
Far East Family Band
A Top 50 round up follows with a short list of albums to avoid.
A truly great treat for the open minded and curious listener, this book promises to be the groundswell moment just as Krautrocksampler was. This is a great Rock'n'roll read. You will be turned onto new bands. You will learn about new sounds and scenes. You will be hunting down new 'holy grail' albums.
(Mr. Cope is there a book on the 3rd Axis power, Italy, due? Pejoratively titled " Woprocksampler"?)

Cope's done it again!
2007/12/22
形式:ハードカバー
After having written the excellent Krautrocksampler more than 10 years ago, Julian Cope is now tackling 60's and 70's japanese Rock. As in his previous tome, this is a delightfully written book that not just reviews the records, but also provides historic anectdotes and places the book within its historic context. As an example of erudite rock list book writing there is nothing better. The main difference is that while many or most of the artists in the prvious germanophile effort pretty well known within normal rock circles, here this is absolutely not the case and these groups are pretty far-out there. It does make you want to go out and buy these records in these times when the current British or American rock scenes are tired and tiresome at best. Overall, a joy to read.

Passions revisited and expanded
2009/7/16
形式:ペーパーバック
Julian Cope, the great rock 'n' roll literary yeti, follows up a book flouting his passion for Krautrock (i.e. psychedelic/electronic German music of the Seventies) with a book flouting his passion for Japrock (i.e. psychedelic/electronic Japanese music of the Seventies). The book goes waaaaay back to the thirties, forties and fifties, getting into Stockhausen, John Cage, and the first Japanese musicians to make avant garde music. At some point, Yoko Ono comes into the scene, and eventually John Lennon. The Japanese, at another point, become infatuated with the Ventures, and eventually rock bands appear. This movement goes corporate, and at one point rebels appear and dream up their own mind-bending experiments in sound and amplification. Cope launches into descriptions of his favourite bands Flower Travellin' Band, Les Razllizes Denudes (whose bass player got involved with the highjacking of a plane to North Korea - really!), Speed Glue & Shinki, Taj Mahal Travellers, JA Caesar, Far East Family Band, and a bunch of other long-hairs. Cope's passion is abundant, and it's clear that he's spend tens of thousands of dollars buying Japanese vinyl of all eras, and has probably made use of many Japanese volunteers who translated material and explained situations to him, lingering in the country at many points in his life too, perhaps. His writing is fluid, amusing and creative, and the story is fascinating as it unfolds. The book is intelligent and highly entertaining and Cope's descriptions make me want to hear more of these bands. As criticisms, I'd say that parts of the book are uneven - some musicians are given long biographies, while others are left as mysteries; and considering that writing about music is like dancing about architecture, what we really need to accompany the book is a sampler CD. Cope overuses certain words, such as "melted plastic brain" (we sometimes feel like we need to have dropped acid to understand his descriptions of some of these bands and their musical world-views, as well as his description of their sonic output) and "komische," and there are altogether too many mentions of the Velvet Underground and the various Krautrock bands; I could have also put together a decent list of Japanese typos. But these are probably quibbles - Cope has busted open a field that needs more recognition with humour and verve, a cultural and musical anthropologist (it's a small field) extraordinaire.
