Rolling Stone Translation
Haha, another translation down. It's of this pic
which was too perfect to pass up.
In almost no time after his debut album was released in Japan on March 14th, Adam Lambert made his first visit to Japan as part of it's promotion. While he got a reception of 1000 fans at Narita International Airport, sales and radio airplay were also going swimmingly. At an event called a Shotaisei (*meet and greet essentially) by one Tokyo club, 10 thousand people applied for 200 open spaces. On the day of, thinking that they may get a glimpse of his figure, people who hadn't made the lottery also gathered around the meeting place, and both inside the club and outside were wrapped in a bizzare heat (*connotation of enthusiasm). In short, it can be asserted that Adam has broken out in splendid Japan.
Also, in Australia, where he traveled before Japan, he participated in the world's number one gay parade "Mardi Gras", and revealed a daring performance. After that, when he crossed over to London, he did things like interview with Boy George who he respects and be recognized for his talent, also wherever he visits (there are) topics (which) come forward. (Such as) His declaration that he is gay, and the amazing vocal power he boasts, thus he has been successful with a musical fusion of the apparently clashing classic rock and electronic (genres), as an unprecedented unique artist in the history of American Idol, no, in the history of pop music, slowly his presence is continuing to be soaked up.
Naturally, in January of last year when he was first being introduced to the world as a contestant on season 8 of 'American Idol', he already had the showy style of a star. Adam, who was active in the musical world of Los Angelos after high school graduation, wanted to spend time constructing his own artistic image. This included a visual component as well, since he was also establishing methods of self-presentation. "At any rate I was a show off (said with as smile). My hangup on presentation, added to my experience as an actor in musicals, I think there's a relation to a club kiss like mentality. When I go out at night, with all my heart I dress up cosplay-ish, and I also have a lot of performance artist aquaintances. As for this kind of element, inside of me it's in (coming into) complete harmony.
And so, with exceeding theatricality as it were, presentations of 'too much' are his selling point. That he reveres as heroes (people like) David Bowie and Freddie Mercury of Queen is well understood, but he also points out (people like) MIKA and Lady Gaga, who have these past few years all also recieved criticism (haha, the Japanese here is literally have received the attachment of a whip/lash/scourge/rod, that could be interesting). "In my case, of course there's music, but I've also been helped a lot by the portion of artists who also take visual presentation and showmanship seriously." Sometimes, that showmanship goes together with the open-ness related to his personal sexuality, and as for conservative America which still has some way to go, there is also harsh criticism of what he is expressing through performance.
