Description
[Machine Translation] Movilist is a magazine that proposes travel and lifestyle from the Movilist point of view. (Special feature) 1984 and 2014. From "VISITORS" to "MOVILIST". Motoharu Sano and New York In 1983, Motoharu Sano took a break from his career and moved from Tokyo to New York City to live with no one and no friends.1 The result of this communication was the album "Visitors," filled with sounds and words that no one had ever heard before. The result was the album "VISITORS", filled with sounds and words that no one had ever heard before. With the album, he moved back to Tokyo, but he had wanted to stay in New York and continue his activities there. Thirty years later, in the summer of 2014. In the summer of 2014, 30 years later, Sano performed the entire "VISITORS" live at "Fuji Rock" and headed back to New York. He was reunited with John Potocker, co-producer of "VISITORS," for the first time in 30 years, to work again on the mix-down of unreleased songs for the 30th anniversary edition of "VISITORS," to be released in the fall. The idea was to cross borders, to move freely, to visit and live in the city of my choice. I was strongly inspired by this idea at the age of 18. Thirty years have passed since then. Now, the concept of "VISITORS" has become "MOVILIST". What does it mean to be mobile in this day and age? What does it mean to be on the move? I couldn't wait to get to New York. I attended all the studio work, walked the streets of New York with Sano, ate, and talked. Walking down Sullivan Street in SOHO, where "Come Shining" was inspired, Sano spontaneously raps, "I can't remember the next lyric. Sano couldn't remember the next lyric, so I decided to rap. The next moment, our voices overlapped. It was a strange and glorious moment that took me back in time 30 years in a flash. On the last day, we went to Coney Island (......), where the cover photo of "Visitors" was taken and the idea for the last number "New Age" was conceived, foreseeing the coming change of the times and the rise of a new generation. This journey is not nostalgic, but rather a journey to rethink the question of how to survive in the current era. This trip was not nostalgic, but rather a journey where Motoharu Sano gave us his "wisdom" on how to survive in the current era. Sano said, "The purpose of the trip is not to move. The purpose of the trip is not to move. It is important to be oneself without blurring, no matter where one moves. The first issue of "MOVILIST" begins here.
