Zappa Vox		Yagi Yasuo (supervision). Byakuya-shobou, Tokyo, Japan 1988 ISBN: 4-89367-131-6 Pages: 164+475 Language: Japanese Category: About
C O M M E N T S From: Tan Mitsugu <a930m14m@eds.ecip.nagoya-u.ac.jp>  _Zappa Vox_ is a box set which contains two books: #1) Japanese translation of _Viva Zappa!_, #2) _Zappa Breath, in the year of the Plague, Vol.1_ by Yagi Yasuo.  The former (_Viva Zappa!_) was translated by Uchibori Yuko, who had been a translator of FZ lyrics in the era from Zappa In New York to The Man From Utopia, making many in-correct, too funny translations. This book is not a exception....she did a very bad translation again.  The latter book gathers the liner notes of Japanese FZ lps which were written by Mr Yagi (who is originally a graphic designer / illustrator). It also has his newly written articles and graphics, and two exclusive FZ interviews by Simon Prentis (occured in '82 & '86), who later became 'the Semantic Scrutinizer', overseeing the translation of Zappa's lyrics into Japanese. (See _Zappa!_, p.86-87.)
