Tomita book

Amazon Japan list a 253 page book 'Sound Cloud' by Tomita, with NHK in one corner on the cover. Is this some kind of biography? Probably all in Japanese but any further info?

 

Definitely all in Japanese. I've not seen it though. I would guess there are photos. I'm curious as to the amount and quality. NHK is just the publisher. Given the fairly low price it probably is mostly black and white images if there are many. Full color books tend to be more expensive.

here goes some bad machine translation:

p.s. "Snowflakes are Dancing" is called "Clair de Lune" after the most famous track in Japan, but it's further translated fully into Japanese. So it becomes "Moonlight" if translated back into English. Actually for even more trivia "Snowflakes are Dancing" is Debussy's original title. He gave his "Children's Corner" suite original English names

The author who is the musician is an autobiography that spells a lot of events that are more related in the concept "Sound of the sound" in the wide sense in early boyhood from music.

This book starts because the author visits the Tendan park in China and Beijing after an interval of 65 years. It is said here that it is a start where the author was interested in the sound of the sound at six years old it though the experience in which the sound rebounds to the curving wall and a mysterious echo happens is done. After it listened to the sound of the fighter, and it had begun to walk as a composer, the posture was consistent because minute attention was paid to the sound while the work of NHK radio and the television was done during the war. And, the sticking to accelerates by going out with Morgshinsesaizar of electronic musical instruments each other. The first work "Moonlight" completed through solitary hand work becomes a worldwide hit. It participates in the outdoors event including the open-air concert of Linz with a thick shade of the sound, and it concludes successfully more than music named Saundocraud afterwards.

For the author, Hit thing of versatility not to finish settling is generally one as those who compose about the television Taiga Drama to a narrow bundling (the composer or those who perform and the producer) clearly felt though known as an authority and a planner of synthesizers of electronic musical instruments of the open-air concert called Soundcloud of stereophony in Japan.

Sticking to in another meaning is felt in this autobiography carried out by sticking to to the sound of the sound. It is a reality of the scene description by a skillful, delicate sentences. See..scene..experience..matter..reader..tell..excellent..finish.(Seiji Sakurada)

1 and 2004/2/5 that can learn artist "Isao Tomita" of which Japan boasts near oneself
Rebuar: (Kanagawa Prefecture) All - reviews are seen.

The author is those who compose the theme song about "New Japanese account of a trip" and "New The Tale of the Taira Clan (Taiga Drama)" of "Jungle great emperor", "Knight of the ribbon" of the Osamu Tezuka animated cartoon, and NHK, and synthesizer performance album "Moonlight", "Picture of the exhibition", and "Planet" are known musician.
Sticking to to the sound from own personal history to recent work is talked about to this book by sentences that the person in question wrote. Isao Tomita is skilled to not only music but also sentences though musician's sentences are not necessarily comprehensible. The appearance of the performance of the attitude to author's music and Tomita Saundocraud is transmitted by the power full marks.

His footprint was traced, and I divided in my own way in some ages. "Age of recurrence" that rediscovers deep charm of "Age of project" that "Age of departure of a ship" that bets on "Age of television theme tune" to have dashed off tune during the beginning of television radio as taking a risk and Morgshinsesaiza and opens new stage and solid sound place grand event are made to succeed one after another and orchestra. And, remake is done to the digital versatile disc audio to hear the solid sound place even at home, and a past work will be able to be said now, "Age of the compilation".

Nostalgia raises crowding when CD of "New Japanese account of a trip/Isao's Tomita music" that The Tokyo Symphony Orchestra performed to "Age of the recurrence" is heard, and I assume that the chest is a gene the person in question is to attach too much importance to to stereophony by me.

Will it be knowing of "World of us in 70's"?The earth of which it took a picture from the spaceship Apollo the program at the beginning by the program of one feature a month at whom announcer Kenji Suzuki was presiding (It seems) appears on the screen, and boy's and girl's choir sings out in a loud voice , saying that "The blue ♪ earth is whose". It is ..going out.. . that this theme song and Isao Tomita composed. It misses …….

"New Japanese account of a trip" is also good. It speaks very highly of Inoue eaves by" from the bottom of one's hearts "To hearty the vicinity, and one that tears spilt instinctively hearing this theme biting green soybeans in the veranda in a Yamagata rural cottage on the last night of summer as when and "Four seasons of the Brown prison". I am this feeling.

It was impressed by a sensibility to the sound and a novel technique. , 2003/12/22
Rebuar: Customer
It is nearly a fan of the Tomita sound of 30 years or more. The production site of the Tomita sound is revealed to a magazine and the current book in this book. It was impressed by the attitude to the sound. The philosophy of Mr./Ms. Tomita who always challenges new is understood well. Because teacher's way of life is read excluding the music fan, it is likely to become study.
