When he was in the Beatles I like McCartney a lot. His voice fit perfectly to the music and the lyrics. So when I heard that he started Wings, I was very curious in a positive way.

Now I realize that like so many things, personal taste is personal taste. So please don't take this personally Takashi, but in the case of McCartney I am willing to share my negative opinion.
僕がほぼ最初に聞いた洋楽がJunior’s Farm だったので、彼が悪くなったとは感じなかったんだよ。
Junior's Farm was pretty much the first western music I heard, so I didn't feel like he went bad.

中学の放送部の女の子がハイジャック的に昼食の時間にかけた“Let It Be”は聞いたことがあったけど、同一人物だと知ったのは、後の事だったんだ。
I had heard "Let It Be" played hijackingly during lunch by a girl in the junior high school broadcast team, but it was only later that I learned it was the same person.

君には悪いけど、僕はジョンよりポールの方が好きだったんだ。
I'm sorry for you, but I liked Paul better than John.
でも、これを後に妻になった女性から教わって、ジョンも好きになった。
But I learned this from the woman who later became my wife, and I fell in love with it too.

Now that is very interesting. So Beatles at this point were unknown to your ear ?

Personally I like don't bound myself by countries or language. The vibes of the songs/music is all that matters to me. Lots of my friends think Chinese classic music is cats making noises. I don't ;-)

君はビートルズの頃から音楽を聴いてたのに、80年代のリピート・ミュージック(同じメロディーの繰り返し)が好きなんだね。ちょっとびっくり。僕は、繰り返しを感じさせない曲が好きなんだよ。例えば、昔はよかった彼女のこれ:
You've been listening to music since the Beatles, but you like 80's repeat music (repeating the same melody). A little surprised. I like songs that don't feel repetitive. For example, this from her who used to be good:

My musical boundary is Rap/Hip-Hop and anything that sounds like it. Heavy Metal and high decibels absolutely out.

段々、お互いの好みの違いがはっきりしてきたじゃないか。
It's becoming clearer and clearer how different our tastes are.
じゃあ、ローラとシーズが好きなピンクフロイドや、僕の大好きなこれのようなプログレッシブ・ロックは嫌いそうだね?
So you don't seem to like progressive rock like Pink Floyd, which Laura and the C’s like, or this, which I love?

Pink Floyd is definitely in my "I Like" list.

Pink Floyd - Dark Side Of The Moon​


Run, rabbit run.
Dig that hole, forget the sun,
And when at last the work is done
Don't sit down it's time to dig another one.

For long you live and high you fly
But only if you ride the tide
And balanced on the biggest wave
You race towards an early grave.


PS: Read the part in the article that mentions McCartney !!!! 🍷

ダーク・サイド・オブ・ザ・ムーンのこのパートはいいね。
I love this part of Dark Side of the Moon.

ピンク・フロイドと言えば、デヴィッド・ギルモアがウクライナ応援歌出したりしてがっかりだね。
Speaking of Pink Floyd, it's disappointing to see David Gilmour sing a cheering song for Ukraine.
これとかも最高だったんだけどね。
This was also great, though.

Space Circus is a Japanese progressive rock and fusion band active in the late 1970s. Their technical, funky, and spacey sound is unlike any other Japanese band in the past, and they can be considered a pioneer of Japanese fusion bands.

日本語版Wikipeaより
スペース・サーカスとは、1970年代後半に活躍した日本のプログレ、フュージョンバンド。そのテクニカルでファンキーかつスペイシーなサウンドは、過去の日本のバンドにはなく、日本のフュージョンバンドの草分けともいえる。
『FANTASTIC ARRIVAL』
キーボード(とバイオリン)に、豊田貴志をスペシャルゲストとして迎え、発表されたセカンドアルバム。キーボードのチェンジにより、よりスペイシーで重厚なサウンドに変化している。1979年発表。
