「CBSソニー信濃町スタジオにて松田聖子さんのレコーディングをしていたある日、ふとMOOG IIIcに目を向けた際に日本の伝統的な“箪笥”とどことなく見た目が似ていると感じました。
そして、松田聖子さんの曲は四季にちなんだものが多いですが、春夏秋冬それぞれ異なる洋服を引き出しから取り出せる“箪笥”とその時々の場面やリクエストに応じて多種多様な音を創り出せるMOOG IIIcとの姿が重なったので、これからはこれは“タンス”だとその場で名付けました。」松武

Do you know why Hideki Matsutake named his MOOG IIIc “Tansu”?
He told us an interesting story about the origin.
——————————
One day when I was working on recording for Seiko Matsuda’s album at CBS Sony Shinanomachi Studio,
I casually at my MOOG IIIc and it occurred to me.
MOOG IIIc kind of looks like the traditional Japanese “Tansu” in appearance and form.
(*We call a chest of drawers “Tansu / 箪笥 in kanji” in Japan.)
It is well known that Seiko’s songs are often related to the four seasons,
people take different clothes out of the chest of drawers in Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter.
I do create a wide variety of sounds like four seasons by MOOG IIIc on request.
I felt that similarity and overlap between the two, and then named my MOOG IIIc “Tansu”.
