Another Game
Another Game is the fifth studio album by P-Model.
In March 1983, Yasumi Tanaka, P-Model's original keyboardist, left the group and the music industry entirely due to a severe case of writer's block. His departure left the band in a state of crisis, as leader Susumu Hirasawa was for the first time the only major creative force since the group's days as Mandrake.
With Hirasawa assuming full creative control of the band, Another Game's songs reflected the signature mood that would be prevalent throughout his career.[citation needed] The album carries over the sensory experimentation of Perspective and their 1983 self-released album Fu Kyoka Kyoku Shū. Hirasawa uses atypical song structures, as well as those to affect the listener through biofeedback and alpha waves. Guitar and atmospheric synths are emphasized as opposed to the loud bass and drums of Perspective. The album also pays homage to Pink Floyd, whom Hirasawa drew deep inspiration from for his music.
Hirasawa described the concept underpinning the album thus:
"There is a certain logic that the world has been based on thus far, right? Even if the world changes, that logic remains unchanged. Unless that logic changes, there is nothing that has been fundamentally changed, for better or for worse. Changing the situation over and over again accomplished nothing, so in order to create the idea that this logic needs to be completely changed the name ended up being Another Game."
The album was originally scheduled to be released on 25 October 1983. However, the band's label Japan Record postponed it three times. A situation that deeply aggravated Hirasawa, to the point of going public:
"The [Recording Industry Association of Japan's Record Creation Standards and Ethics Committee (レコード制作基準倫理委員会（レコ倫）)] put in a complaint about the words 'deformed' and 'defect' in the lyrics [of "Atom-Siberia"]… that was 4 days before the release.
So I decided to use ateji when rewriting so the release could be on 25 November, but the CEO of the record company told me to 'change the lyrics for the offending parts'. That 'even if ateji gets us past the Ethics Committee, those pronunciations could still get the company in hot water'.
