  Audio Snaps Volume One - 100...

  Audio Snaps is a series of 100 minute audiobooks packed with fun stories from my books about my life in the music business. Volume One features stories from You Don’t Have to Say You Love Me, a book I wrote in 1983 about my time in London in the Sixties when, amongst other things, I was managing the Yardbirds and wrote the lyrics to the song, You Don’t Have to Say You Love Me. Reading it back now, it seems extraordinarily frank, more so than I might be nowadays, and sometimes rather rude too. When it came out, the music press loathed the book, I think because it trivialised the music industry, whereas the tabloids loved it. Nowadays, they’ve all come to see it as a classic of its time and the Observer newspaper has it at Number Eleven on its list of “The 50 Greatest Music Books Ever.” In the Independent, Charles Shaar Murray called my books, “ The cold print equivalent of spending an evening with a world-class raconteur.”  With Audio Snaps, you get the raconteur without wading through the cold print.

  A long time ago, when Japan had the feudal system, my family was a landlord of the area. It has come to a complete downfall over the years, but my family still clings to its past glory. For them, to succeed the family is critical. I’m firstborn and have no brother which meant that I was a successor and destined to spend the whole life in my hometown. 
  But music changed everything. To pursue a career in music, my hometown was too rural and I had to move out. Back then I was a college student and moving to a city meant dropping out of school. My parents fiercely opposed but as usual, they left the matter to my grandfather who controlled the family. Considering his way to keep a tight rein, everybody including myself thought he might kill me. 
  I could have run away, but I wanted to tell him for once what I want to do for my life. 
  As long as I could remember, my family members had told me that I was a successor of the family and I was to live with my family all my life as my father, my grandfather, my great-grandfather and on and on and on did, by taking a husband into our family to bear our family name. They kept saying that as a usual chant so repeatedly that I was sort of under the spell that I would be stuck in the house as a successor until the day I die. 
  So, I was an outsider when other girls chatted giggly about what last name they would bear after their marriage or where they would live in the future. I knew what my last name and what my future address would be because they wouldn’t be changed. My whole life was so predictable for that matter. Since I knew my future, I had no interest in my life, and days were so boring. 
  I changed my future completely by abandoning my family, my friends, my hometown and the old tradition. Now, I’m free from my once-arranged future. Instead, I dread my uncertain future everyday…
