@braveone2u mm...no more dried up 'abolition'?..'tradition'?..'addiction'?...what is most likely to be dried up I wonder!!?? Yes, 'tradition' makes more sense but I just can't hear a 't'... I guess only Mr Sakamoto has the answer!
@hejafish In Japanese, the "R" sounds like a mixture of "D and "L." It has to do with the placing of the tongue. Therefore, it doesn't sound like the Western R.
PART 2 @hejafish Also, Vocoder's in the mix. Last, one has to keep in mind the context of the song. According to your interpretation, it's more cultural and philosophical based than a psychedelic-induced song. Just a thought.
PART 1 @hejafish It's really not "L," and the Japanese "R" is hard to say, let alone combining it with a "T." Perhaps the combination was too difficult for Mr. Sakamoto to sing, at the time; therefore, he did what many singers do, which is to slur a word in an artful way? I wouldn't be surprised if it were an outright affectation, artistic or not.
@hejafish Another clue is the Japanese way of pronouncing the "T." That's another story to take into account. Therefore, I'm not surprised that it sounds close to "addiction," but not quite, and again, the context is important.
I've been expecting that someone would upload an excerpt of this tune from the album "BGM" (not a live version!). Great thanx for your upload of quality!
ドラムが素晴らしい。時折入るタムのフレーズがもうたまりません。
それに音もいいです。なんでも、ドラムだけはアナログでとって、それ以外は全部デジタルトラックで録音してるらしいですよ。なんともすごい工夫をしてますね。

@braveone2u Yes, I am aware of that actually..so the Japanese would say something like 'tladition' right?

@braveone2u I tried to ask the man himself on twitter but got no reply! Wel...I think it is safe to go with 'no more dried up tradition'!

I don't think the lyrics are "what's the plan?", rather "was the plan"

小学校６年のときに、発売前に予約して買いました。BGM、そしてテクノデリックとYMOが暗い時代に入っていきました。私はこの時代が特に好きです。そして、明るい時代へ再生してきました。軽やかな音色や振る舞いの明るさの中に 何か 悲しい哀愁をさそうのは、晩年のモーツアルトに匹敵するような音楽芸術です。

I want to look at black pictures
and walk in moonlight gardens
I take away some insecurity
then put it back
no more dried up addiction
no more soured sentiment
get some military venom
take it with a pinch of salt
making music what the plan
