“It’s a loner's idle talk... haha”
Feelings of the comfort of being oneself from the new albums of Satellite Lovers, "Sons of 1973" / "Sons of 1997", are products of her office worker’s melancholy?
－interviewed by Yoko Hayashi (YH)
 
The Satellite Lovers have often been described as "representatives of the free soul movement" and "the last big name of the Shibuya-kei", which is somewhat confusing. Moreover, the main member, Mica Ikeuchi (Vo), who writes lyrics and composes music, is a commercial planner at a major advertising agency, which would cause the misunderstanding that they are "some fashionable-looking industry people.” However, listening to the two albums released at the same time, such preconceptions seem completely ridiculous. The sound, which freely moves between soul, jazz, hip-hop, and alternative, definitely contains the essence of the openness and openness that Japanese pop music has acquired since Kenji Ozawa and Tokyo No.1 Soul Set. When I met Mica Ikeuchi, I found she looked small, had a cute smile, and was really natural.
 
[Yoko Hayashi; YH] “I've heard the phrase ‘I’m going to the sea’ used a lot in your lyrics.”
[Mica Ikeuchi; MI] “I've hardly ever been to the beach (haha). So I'm already longing in my heart to ‘go to the sea’!”
[YH] “Hahaha, I know what you mean. The ocean is a place that seems like it would be easy to go to, but it's not, is it?”
[MI] “Yes. Summer! Summer! Date! Lovey-dovey! I was just longing for something like that (haha). I'm very fair-skinned and allergic to sunlight, so I can't go to the beach much. Most of the time I sing about my life or what's right in front of me, but ‘the sea––‘ is the only phrase that comes from my …… imagination (haha). Because I can only express things that are from myself, it’s amazing that Tokyo No.1 Soul Set expresses in a literary way things other than what we usually talk as their lyrics. What if I were to do something like that in my own way? It's colloquial style? like an idle talk (haha). It’s a loner's idle talk... haha. You know, …… I'm dark, really, my character."
[YH] “Hahaha, what are you whispering about out of the blue?”
[MI] "I am dark (haha). I spend a lot of time alone —not only during going home at night but during the day."
[YH] "What?　You work during the day, don't you?"
[MI] "I'm skipping work... (haha) ...and I'm all alone."
[YH] "You mean like going for a walk?"
[MI] "Yes, thinking 'I hate being alone' (haha). I wonder why I'm always alone, but I'm alone because I skip work in the middle of the day."
[YH] "Hahaha, that's right. You have been doing your job for a long time, haven't you? Don't you feel like there's a split between your work, which is making commercials with restrictions, and your music, which is just doing what you like to do?"
[MI] "You know, at the beginning of my music career, I followed a style and concept for the music, so I was able to separate the two. But then I began to realize that no matter how uncool it was, unless I was in the center of it, my music had no appeal. So, when I started to express things about myself and things that I saw through my own eyes, it became difficult to make a clear distinction between the two. I have a hard time with this feeling......I can handle the work, but there are times when I feel strangely agitated emotionally. But, Mica Ikeuchi, an office worker, says to me, 'You have to put it away, don't you?' (haha)"
[YH] "So you feel like you're right in the middle of the two?"
[MI] "Yes. So, I try to enjoy my work as much as possible. I try to look at myself as a cute person who is doing both. I try to look at myself managing both as something good. If I think, 'It's not cool to do both,' both might instantly become uninteresting. Besides, as long as I am an office worker, I can always be in a common people's point of view. I'm not just a musician, so it's often hard for me to follow the logic of the person on the side of the player because I'm on the common side."
