黃貫中 《狂人習作》

自從黃貫中以個人名義推出個人大碟以來,
一直都未有一隻碟令我有驚喜的。
佳作間中是有的,但以整隻碟來說,
從未有一張令我真正滿意。

今次的《狂人習作》,
第一次令我覺得有驚喜呢!

頭三track均令我覺得「嘩!」,
尤其是《原罪犯》的bass solo,
以及《阿博二世》的bass arrangement,
都令我括目相看!

另外,是次大碟的封套設計,
是由本人弟弟Wyman Chan@Shya-la-la,
揉合阿Paul的手稿設計而成的!
而《阿博二世》的MV則是由友人阿權導演及製作!

世界真細小!

富士山下不如不見


很冬日感覺的一幀相片.

每年冬季的香港市面上,
都會有一些期間限定的歌曲,
而今年我的期間限定.
就是eason的富士山下,
以及緊接著的不如不見.

一閉上眼就可見到,
寒風凜凜的冬曰長街.
就像相片中的情境一樣.

陳奕迅, what's going on...?

近年在香港,幾乎,
不是,是肯定,
肯定已沒有其他人有這種號召力。

在陳奕迅出新碟的今日,
我身邊已有兩個人第一時間用真金白銀「買CD」!
買!!
不是download!!
是用錢買!!
第一時間!!

我是第三個。

唯一接近的,這年內似乎只有軟硬。

更多關於陳奕迅 《what's going on...?》


今次陳奕迅的大碟,歌曲比起上次的EP較大路。
沒有了Jerald style的funky R&B,
多了抒情慢歌,以及有兩首出其不意的rock style,
而其中的《心深傷透》竟然是由香港 indie punk 霸 Hardpack 操刀!!

多了K歌,但並不等如是壞事。
K歌唱得入心入肺的,對我來說在香港就只得陳奕迅。
《富土山下》及《不如不見》就另我放低手頭上忙著的事,
100%地專心投入到歌及詞的世界....

然後,毛管直戙。

有些歌,只有陳奕迅去唱才有這樣的力量。

w850i

一段時間沒有update這個blog了。
這幾個星期以來,
一直忙著與Dan及Benny完成短片
"my lovely neighbor Tom"。
對了,片如其名,是一條超Kawaii的卡通短片呢....!
不日上載,喜愛cute cute 的朋友務必留意了......

用了三年多的Sony Ericsson k700i 終告game over,
因而購入了以下這部Sony Ericsson w850i。



其實候選佳麗還包括sharp的 SX633,
以及sony ericsson 的k800i, m600i, w950i 等等。
然而以上的各個型號,都不能滿足我以下的條件:
3G video call (m600i, w950i 不能),
html browser (SX633, k800i不能).
而w850i居然具備以上的條件,
以及更有rss reader 及 即時blog this等無鬼聊
但對我卻非常有用的功能!

以w為initial的這個系列,其最主要的功能其實是walkman.
這個built-in 的 walkman2.0 interface確實非常user friendly,
距離ipod又接近了一大步了。
我說接近是因為sony walkman始終沒有
iTunes等全天候的software去支援,
隨機附送的software Disc2Phone,
也只不過給人「頂住先」的感覺。

無論如何,mobile blog的勁能實在太神奇了。
日後也請留意左面"mo-c w850i mobile blog"的link !

井上雄彦的驚人舉動

井上雄彦的fans要留意了,
以下是井上雄彦在official website 公佈的大新聞。
(不過, 不是關於入樽的續集...)

原文

井上近況新聞 2006

已到深秋時分。
白晝變短。我就是喜歡這個季節的這種感覺。

原畫集的校對工作順利結束了…!
這顯示出日本的印刷技術已到達一個頂點…我認為是他們的堅持,
才能令我說出這番話的,感謝。預定GET的各位,敬請期待。

那麼,繼續上一回的話題。

大家記不記得本人在年初定下的目標之中,還有一個很不錯的計劃?

那已漸漸成形了。

要說那究竟是什麼,就是DVD。我要推出DVD。

名叫《DRAW》。

內容的話,文如其名,即drawing,畫畫。

就是用攝影機把自己是怎麼創作《浪客行》原稿的過程、那種手勢以及筆端,完全拍攝下來。

說到契機,可以追溯到幾年前。當時我負責資生堂uno的CM工作,
要使出全身力氣,才能揮出特製大筆在巨大的帆布上作畫。

那幅畫是怎麼繪畫出來的,大家可以通過熒幕客觀地去欣賞。
當時我就在想,作畫本身可以是一種娛樂活動呢。這是一個契機。

說到另一點…不知是不是因為上了年紀,我對自己身為一個漫畫家能做到今天,
生出了一種感謝之情,也開始變得想把自己在這個過程之中學到了什麼東西,告訴給後來的人。

是上了年紀吧。

此外,在來自國內外的電郵之中,有許多人都說很想知道我是怎麼畫漫畫的。
這麼多的意見,也形成了一種契機。
不管大家怎麼問,我總覺得自己答不好。
對了,讓大家來看看我是怎麼作畫的,可能是個最佳辦法。

用映像來表達,會不會很有趣?據我所知,到目前為止還沒有這種先例,
而且,若是我本人,我會想去看。

因此,這個將我一直以來踏踏實實走過來的歷程記實下來的精彩〈?〉的計劃‧
《DRAW》,目前正在工作人員的共同奮戰之下加緊製作,目標是11月28日能夠推出。

我還將陸續加以報導,大家一定要留意。

敬請期待。



此外,還有一件很重要的事要公佈。

我正在考慮設立「SLAM DUNK獎學金」之事。

在《SLAM DUNK》的發行部數達到1億冊之時,我想表達自己對讀者的感謝之情,於是,就有了雛形。其實那時,我也很想將自己對籃球的感謝變成一種有形有實質的東西。從那一刻起,這個想法就不斷得以加溫並得到了許多人的幫助,開始慢慢步向實現之路。

日本籃球的將來,肩負在現在、在某些體育館裡流著汗水追逐著籃球的兒童們身上。

但是,隨著人口不斷老化,能將人生花費在籃球上的人們,變得越來越有限。
越往前走,道路越窄。但籃球是以實力定天下的世界,出現這種現象,也是理所當然的。

只不過說到日本籃球界的現狀,我卻覺得那條路實在太狹窄了。
籃球是世界上僅次於足球的一種人氣運動,所以競爭大。
但就算從這個角度來看,籃球也應該得到更多人的喜愛才對,更應該得到理解才對。

那些最最喜歡籃球、決意去追求籃球人生的孩子們,
為了令他們的決意得以實現,我想拓寛那條道路。

我想讓他們看得遠一點。

希望能夠幫到他們……我要啟動這項獎學金。

我能靠畫漫畫而維生,全拜籃球所賜。

我想將自己的感謝之情,奉獻給這種運動。

正式的消息,預定將從本月底特設的Web Site、集英社的漫畫雜誌以及體育雜誌等對外公佈。

煩請大家留意詳細情報。當然,大家也能從這裡得到情報。

《浪客行》第2章第5幕也拉開了序幕。我感到波濤汹湧的生活將變得更加波濤汹湧了。

說不定會給各有關人士增添不少的麻煩。

但在這段時間裡,請大家繼續陪伴我。

If you are a fan of Inoue Takehiko, please pay attention!!
There is some very big news anounced from his official website.
Well, not about Slam Dunk 2 yet, ok?

Original page

Inoue News 2006


It's getting deeper into Fall.
The days are getting shorter.
I love it when it gets like this in the season.

We've finished the final proofs for the illustration collections...!
We've perserved to the point where we can now say that we were shown one of the end results of Japan's publishing techniques.
You have my appreciation.
Please look forward to them if you're planning on picking one up.

Time for a continuation of the last column.

Do you remember that one of my goals at the beginning of the year was to plan a "big thing"?

Plans for it are starting to come together.

Well, that "big thing" is a DVD.
I'm going to release a DVD.

It will be titled "DRAW".

It's contents will, like the title suggests, be about drawing.

We've captured the process of actually drawing Vagabond, the hand, and the tips of the pens, pencils and brushes, etc.

The origin of the project came several years ago when I was creating the commercial for Shiseido's "uno", and I used an enormous brush that I had to use my whole body to draw with, to draw on the enormous canvas.

When I watched the process of creating it on the screen, I realized that just the process itself could be a form of entertainment.

There's one more reason.
I don't know if it's because I'm getting older or not, but I've come to wonder if I can pass on what I've learned, and
the processes I've created for myself, and the gratitude I have for making it this far as a manga author, to those who will come later.

It's probably old age.

Also, all the messages I've received from inside and outside Japan wanting to know about how to draw manga was another catalyst for this.
Unfortunately it's not something that can be answered with words.
Then I thought that the best way to answer would be to show the process itself.

Will it be interesting? I've never heard of anything like this before, and I know that that I'd want to see it, which is why it's been on the back of my mind.

And so, we've been able to make smooth progress in the preparations for this great (?) plan, and "Draw" is slated to come out on 11/28.
The whole staff is driving forward together to make it happen.

I'll be putting up updates from time to time so check back.

Look forward to it.

 

There's one more important announcement I have to make.

I'm thinking about creating a "Slam Dunk Scholarship".

When Slam Dunk sold it's 100 millionth volume, I remembered my thanks for my readers and expressed it to them in an event.
At the same time I wanted to express my thanks to basketball, and this idea has been gathering momentum since then.
With help from many people, it is slowly starting to become a reality.

The future of basketball in Japan lies with the energetic children running after balls in school gyms.

But as they get older, the number of people who can pursue basketball as a career become more and more limited.
The more they pursue it, the narrower their path gets.
If it was a world where only your skill mattered, that would be natural.

But, I feel that the state of Japanese basketball is such that the path forward is too narrow.
There are so many players, and when you consider that it's second in worldwide popularity only to soccer, there should be more love for the sport.
It should be better understood.

I'd like to widen the path even just a little bit for the children who come to love basketball and who want to make it their life to realize that goal.

I want to improve how that's seen.

I am planning to start the scholarship with the goal of helping that in mind.

I'm able to make my living as a manga artist now because of basketball.

I want to give something back to the sport in thanks.

Official announcements are planned to start appearing at the end of the month on a dedicated website, in Shueisha's manga magazines, and in sports magizines, etc.

Please check those out for more detailed information.
Of course, I'll also make information available here.

The 5th installment of the second series of Vagabond is starting and my already hectic schedule is becoming even more frantic.

I'm probably making life hard for everybody involved.

Please put up with me.

Thanks.

Just Can't Help It

除了喧嘩上等外,東京事変 Just Can't Help It 的 concert DVD 中,
還有以下歌曲的演繹非常令我難忘,
分別是broadway式音樂Dynamite
及日劇《大奧~華之亂》theme song 修羅場

Besides KanKaJouTou, the performance of Broadway-style Dynamite and Shyuraba (which is one of the Buddhism's hell)

今次Dynamite 的編曲是我所聽過的版本中最broadway的,
尤其是intro,以及更值得一提的outro,
都令此版本成為我最喜愛的今次Dynamite

This time the arrangement of Dynamite is the most Broadway one, especially the intro, and especially especially the outro. It's no doubt my favourite version of Dynamite.



修羅場一早己成為了我的ipod播放次數最高的第一位。
原本MV中的「血」的感覺,
今次成為了red blood cell,滲滿了整個舞台!
除了音樂之外,修羅場視覺上的震撼亦令人非常難忘!

Shyuraba is already my most-played-ipod song for few months. The blood feeling from the MV was converted into red blood cell spilled out all over the stage! The visual impact of this song is awesome.

喧嘩上等

近年令我陷入瘋狂狀態的樂隊,
就只有椎名林檎為首的 東京事変

陷入瘋狂狀態 是指每一隻無論是single或是album,
甚至連MV集及concert live DVD都會不會放過的狀態。

最近推出的 Just Can't Help It 的concert live DVD 中,
都不有少驚人之演繹,而其中一首最令人為之震驚的,
是以下的 喧嘩上等

演歌 + Jazz + heavy metal的組合,
居然可以配合得天衣無縫!!!!


The only band that can drive me crazy these years is Tokyo Jihen (ie. Tokyo Incidents) leaded by Shiina Ringo. I bought all their single, album, MV DVD and concert live DVD. Inside their recent live DVD Just Can't Help It, their are quite a lot surprising performance. One of them is the follow one, KanKaJouTou (superior fight), combining traditional japanese song with Jazz and Heavy metal, and is surprisingly good!!
