Album Review: チャタヌガチューチュー 100ワットの恋人 by 細野晴臣 & 鈴木茂 Alright, let’s talk about this gem—チャタヌガチューチュー 100ワットの恋人. Released way back in '75 (yeah, the same year Jaws scared everyone out of the water), this Japanese rock-electronic fusion album feels like a time capsule that somehow still sounds fresh today. It's got that ambient vibe layered over crunchy guitars and synths that just kinda float around your brain like cigarette smoke in a dimly lit café. First up, the title track チャタヌガ・チュー・チュー. Man, this one sticks with you. It starts off all chill, like a lazy Sunday morning where nothing really matters except maybe coffee or whatever. But then it sneaks into this groovy rhythm that makes you wanna move—but not too much, y'know? Like nodding your head while pretending to be deep in thought. The blend of fuzzy guitar riffs and these weird electronic bleeps is what makes it unforgettable. You can tell 細野晴臣 and 鈴木茂 were just vibin', experimenting without caring if anyone "got it." And honestly? That’s why I love it. Feels raw, unpolished, but totally intentional. Then there’s 100ワットの恋人, which hits different. This track has more energy—it’s kinda like someone turned on a neon sign in an empty room. The melody loops around itself, building this hypnotic atmosphere that’s both comforting and slightly unsettling. There’s something almost cinematic about it, like it could soundtrack some obscure art film where people stare meaningfully at rain-soaked streets. Or maybe that’s just me projecting—but hey, isn’t that what good music does? Makes you think stuff? The whole thing came out under Crown and Panam labels, which honestly feels fitting because it’s regal yet kinda quirky. Imagine walking through Tokyo in the mid-’70s, hearing this playing faintly from a record shop—you’d stop, right? You’d have to. Looking back, albums like this remind me how cool it is when artists don’t try too hard to fit into boxes. Rock? Sure. Electronic? Yep. Ambient? Absolutely. But none of those labels fully capture what’s going on here. It’s its own weird little universe. And honestly, isn’t life better when we embrace the oddballs? Final thought: If aliens ever invade Earth and ask us to explain human creativity, I’d hand them this album. Either they’ll get it, or they’ll zap me for being ridiculous. Either way, win-win, right?

「ショーケン」が歌詞に歌われるこの曲に、70年代という時代の切なさと風景を感じとれるのがよい。松本隆の詞のセンスのよさに脱帽です。もちろん、鈴木茂のヴォーカルも秀逸だぜよ。

ベースアレンジはCarmen Miranda(1942)バージョンなんですかね?(それにLowell George っぽい鈴木茂のギター入れて)。。例えば吉田美奈子の「ハハ―ン」の部分とか。一つ言わせて貰えば尖り過ぎです
