yeah sail away was really a one-off track, should have done more trance instead of like 5 electro albums
speed master (r-control remix) off the speed master single was a legit good trance remix.
as for the translation my japanese is getting rough again but i gave it a shot:
(in order of those video links)
motsu
0:00 - why do you make music?
0:06 - well obviously to make a living, but also to experiment and make new things... and if you hear some new music that makes you go "hey, what is this?" by listening to things like the tone of voice
0:35 - i've been trying to make upbeat music for almost 20 years now
0:45 - why do you want to make upbeat music?
0:50 - again, going back to earlier, i think that i had a feeling of frustration, probably still even now, and maybe to hide it or something - i don't know -
(next couple lines are really rough translations)
i thought to myself, this is a crappy situation. around grade 6 i decided that i have to make it to the top, and have a strong outlook / mentality
may i ask why?
well i was poor growing up and thought this sucks.. anyways i guess situations like that made me a stronger person growing up.
yuri
0:00 - i wasn't doing anything special at the time, just fooling around really
0:05 - so what did t-kimura say to you after your audition was finished? did he say why he picked you?
0:20 - why he picked me? i don't think i've ever asked... i wonder why he picked me? i think maybe my attitude was bad. towards the end, when there were about 4 or 5 people, i started crying
0:55 (no idea what the interviewer says... yuri laughs and agrees)
1:05 - in 1998, move's 2nd single, "around the world" was used in the anime 'initial d'
1:07 - as a result, yuri's name/reputation was more easily recognized
1:12 - it was a major debut for her
1:15 - like a cinderella story that anyone can be jealous of (so cheesy lol)
1:22 - however, reality wasn't a perfect world
yuri
0:00 - what's your definition of a 'song?'
0:19 - that's a difficult question... you don't need instruments to do it, you can do it by yourself, anywhere anytime, with nobody around... something you should do to the max
0:42 - songs are the greatest weapon?? (uta ha saidai no buki)
0:47 - yuri had this experience
0:55 - in 2010, 'dream again' was released
0:58 - yuri was pregnant during this time
1:05 - does your baby understand your voice / songs (?)
1:30 - well the baby isn't 3 years old yet, so i can't speak with it but it recognizes my voice
1:50 - we were in the studio recording, during the 2nd trimester all the way until the last month of pregancy. it was hard to stand so i was sitting in a chair
2:20 - (keeps talking about the baby understanding her singing voice)
motsu
0:00 - if you're performing for this long, sometimes you'll end up making weird songs. like when you're in the studio creating the song, you'll think to yourself, "yeah, this is awesome!" but sometimes people will say "motsu... this isn't so great..."
0:33 - so i get people i can trust to help make these creative decisions
0:40 (in the studio trying to figure out what tempo works best for the song they're making)
1:07 - how's this? does it work?
1:09 - yeah it might
1:11 - ok let's go with this. can't stop the feeling
1:20 - ok we've fixed this. thank you very much!
1:38 - this is how move's songs get created
1:51 - this was supposed to be move's 16th year together
2:11 (shows motsu cycling by himself, the twitter picture says "went to go buy champagne")
2:31 he's been cycling for 5 kms, in -5 degree celcius weather (i guess he wanted to blow off some steam)
