Naoki Urasawa interview
Here is a transcription of what is said in
the video. Please, excuse my poor english!
m(_ _)m
1st Part (Train) : The narrator explains that
he take the train as a normal japanese. He
says that with the help of his new mangakas
friend, he will meet the new manga magazines
superstar Naoki Urasawa. He explains that
Urasawa success is so high, that he is one of
Japan's 5 first most well paid mangakas. He
says that Urasawa's creation can touch a big
crawd, from childrens to adults with it's
excellent mix of exciting thriller suspense
and 70's nostalgia.
2nd Part (Urasawa speaks):
"Yes, in my job, i love the drawing job, but,
physically, it's a very tyring activity. So,
when i create a story and some idea is really
good, i know exactly how i will use it.
Finally, more than the drawing, this is what
i love the most, creating a story."
-silence-
"You know, i think that in Europe, they take
more time to draw a comic. In Japan, the
mangaka's working ryhthm for the magazines is
really intense, i think that it's a working
rhythm that can't be done in France (note:
the journalist is a french). So, when you
look quickly at a manka, you can think that a
little importance is given to the drawing."
3rd part (Urasawa's assitants are drawing):
The narrator explains that, in Japan, manga
creator must draw 25 pages per week for the
mangas magazines. He says that in Europe, a
comic creator has to draw 72 pages per year,
in japan, a mangaka must draw more than 1300.
After that, he explains that a mangaka write
the story, draw the sketches, give the notes
to his assistants and finalise the work. He
explains after that, that this intense work
influances the artistic style of the mangas :
The drawing are simples and are centred on
the action and the emotion of the characters.
4th part (Urasawa is speaking):
"I think that there is a real difference
between a manga and an european comic book.
In fact, i think that what really changes, is
the number of informations on every page. In
a manga, there are more drawing boxes, it's
more sequenced. Across the boxes, every
scene, every action is drawed with more
details, the time is more explosed."
5th part (20th Century Boys):
A voice is reading the texts on screen in
some acting fashion.
6th part (Urasawa speaks):
"In fact, to success in mangas, it's
important to understand the feeling of the
actual time.
Understand what is vital for us, understand
what we are in need in this time.
Are we needing more new sensations or, in
contrary, to go back to our past?
We must understand the feeling of or time!"
(note:I really love this final part, it's
really a profound reflection!)
The video ends with some cool screens of
urasawa playing guitar.
Hope you enjoy it.
