Ongaku Ga Kikenaku Naru Hi (Shueisha Shinsho)

[Machine Translation] The day after Pierre Taki of Denki Groove was arrested on suspicion of violating the Narcotics Control Law, record companies announced that they would suspend shipments, recall inventory, and suspend distribution of all sound and video recordings. In recent years, such actions have been taken immediately and have been reinforced in response to drug cases involving musicians, but for whom and for what purpose is this "self-restraint" being exercised? In this book, the authors, who object to such "self-restraint," clarify the background and structure of the problem from their own standpoints, and deepen their discussion on the state of "music," "drugs," and "self-restraint" in today's society. A short history of music self-restraint at the end of the book is a must-see.

電気グルーヴのピエール瀧が麻薬取締法違反容疑で逮捕された翌日、レコード会社は全ての音源・映像の出荷停止、在庫回収、配信停止を発表した。近年ミュージシャンの薬物事件ではこのような対応が即座になされ、また強化されてきたが、その「自粛」は何のため、誰のためのものだろうか?こうした「自粛」に異を唱える著者たちがそれぞれの立場から問題の背景と構造を明らかにし、現代社会における「音楽」「薬物」「自粛」の在り方について考察を深めていく一冊。巻末の音楽自粛小史は必見。
