According to Manabu Yamazaki, a former party organizer who is now the owner of independent techno label Sublime Records, strict government controls have also played a major role in inhibiting the growth of a domestic club culture. Others pointed to the limited amount of time that Japanese youths are able to spend on social activities. Nevertheless, after many years in the dark, the domestic club scene has finally started to take off. Oricon's Takebe also noted a change in attitude among the new generation of music lovers. The slump that followed the bursting of the economic bubble and led to the breaking down of the traditional work environment also helped bring about the changes required for the rise of the new music.
People have so many different values and different lifestyles now compared to the past.
Techno doesn't have lyrics. It doesn't have a specific message, and that is precisely the point. People can adapt it to their own philosophy. It just needs a little more time. And this view is shared by one of the global industry's leading figures.
