Description
[Machine Translation] JOHN & YOKO/PLASTIC ONO BAND (Japanese edition)", the ultimate guidebook to the truth about John Lennon's first solo album "The Soul of John (English title: Plastic Ono Band)" (1970), released after the Beatles' breakup, has finally been translated into Japanese! JOHN & YOKO/PLASTIC ONO BAND" was published in 2020 by the British publisher Thames & Hudson. Produced by Yoko Ono herself, this A4 hardcover 288-page book contains many never-before-published episodes and unpublished photos. The book reveals how John Lennon, who was suffering from mental illness, came to sing his inner self through psychologist Arthur Janov's primordial therapy, through many interviews including those with related people. The book has received rave reviews from around the world, including a 4.9 star rating on Amazon.com for the English version, and a Japanese translation has been long awaited. The Japanese edition of the book has been translated by Kyoko Maruyama, who has translated many books by foreign musicians, and also includes new translations of the lyrics (some songs have not been translated due to copyright holders' requests). The book also includes a commentary by Beatles researcher Kunihiko Fujimoto as an appendix. This is truly a must-have book for fans. Radio DJ Peter Barakan, who is also known as an avid Beatles fan, wrote the following comment on the obi of this book. When John Lennon's Plastic Ono Band was released in 1970, I was 19 years old and could not accept its rawness. When I listened to it properly much later, it was a huge shock to me, partly because I had grown up. I now consider it John's best work. This book is a must-read for John's fans, full of interesting background information and rare, previously unpublished photos, such as how that rawness came about and how the series of singles made around the same time as that album came to be. A must-read for John fans.
