レポート 北陸中日新聞（2021年7月19日）
石川県七尾市万行町の権谷（ごんたに）達哉さん（４７）は国内外のミュージシャンとＣＤの共作を続ける。作詞に打ち込み、共作ＣＤは二十枚を超える。一方で、大学時代に発症した統合失調症の影響で、睡眠が不安定で身体の不調が続く。精神障害を公にすることにためらいがあったが、同じように困難を抱える人の励みになればと、さらけ出す覚悟を決めた。（室木泰彦）
権谷さんはＦＭかほく（同県かほく市）で通算一年半余り番組を担当したほか、ＣＤの自費制作、外国人アーティストや親交のある演奏者による公演のＰＲ、企画などにも関わる。
月七万円の障害年金で母と暮らし、障害者雇用の募集があると期間限定で役所、施設などで働く。そんな中で、音楽活動をするのは「何としてもカムバック」との反骨心があるから。
発症は富山大時代。卓球のサークル活動をし、大会運営もしていたが、卒業間近、運営を巡り人間関係がぎくしゃくした。極度のストレスと緊張が二週間続き精神的に破綻。統合失調症と診断された。
三年ほど入退院を繰り返し、気分の浮き沈みが激しいそううつ状態が続いた。ごく親しい友人を除き仲間とは疎遠に。障害者雇用で採用された役所では、周囲の対応に冷たさを感じた。月一回の通院で症状が徐々に落ち着くのと同時に音楽制作を活発化した。
今年二月、憧れの英国音楽プロデューサーのスチュアート・エップス氏との共作ＣＤ制作が実現。音楽制作のイロハを教えてくれたソニーミュージックグループＯＢの青木美高（よしたか）さん（６９）＝名古屋市＝のおかげだという。「温かい導きでいろんなアーティストとつながった」。スチュアート氏が近年、後進育成に力を入れ、コロナ禍のオンライン交流で権谷さんに時間を割けたのもプラスに働いた。
最近、心境に変化が。「反骨心だけでは限界がある。発症時の人間関係は破綻したまま。もう一度仲良くなる可能性を残すためにも少しでもわだかまりをなくせれば」。一方で、障害を明かすことでどう見られるか不安も大きい。それでも「障害を含めた自分の作品がどう評価されるのか興味もある」と新境地に挑む。
いつか分かり合える 信じ続けて「愛と絆テーマに詞」
「いつか分かり合える そう信じ続けていたよ 笑顔に満ちた世界を／ここに対峙している 僕たちの今が 全ての答えなんだ／今僕たちは心から知る 君の全ての痛みを 全てを分かち合っているんだ…」
権谷さんの作品「愛に満ちた世界」（抜粋）だ。権谷さんは、大事な人への愛、困難を乗り越える絆などをテーマとしている。
代表作はスチュアート・エップス氏との共作「ＴＨＥ ＪＯＵＲＮＥＹ（ジャーニー）」。権谷さん作詞の十曲にスチュアート氏が曲を付けた。三年前に死去した父への思い、体調を崩し病床で感じた自身の人生などを描いた。六月には、幼少期を過ごした石川県穴水町の「ボラ待ちやぐら」を題材に楽曲「君待ちやぐら」を発売した。問い合わせは権谷さん＝電０７６７（５２）０９３５＝へ。

REPORT HOKURIKU CHUNICHI NEWSPAPER
[Ishikawa] Gontani from Nanao, who exposes his illness and moves forward, confesses his mental disorder and works hard to write lyrics
July 19, 2021 05:00 (Updated July 19, 09:57)
Tatsuya Gontani is working hard to create music with musicians using a computer at his home in Mangyo-cho, Nanao City, Ishikawa Prefecture.
Tatsuya Gonya is working hard to create music with musicians using a computer at his home in Mangyo-cho, Nanao City, Ishikawa Prefecture.
Tatsuya Gontani (47) of Mangyo-cho, Nanao City, Ishikawa Prefecture, continues to co-produce CDs with musicians from Japan and abroad. He is devoted to writing lyrics and has co-written over 20 CDs. On the other hand, due to the effects of schizophrenia that he developed during his university days, his sleep is unstable and his physical health continues to deteriorate. Although he was hesitant to open up about his mental illness, he decided to do so in the hope that it would encourage others with similar difficulties. (Yasuhiko Muroki)
Mr. Gontani has been in charge of programs on FM Kahoku (Kahoku City, same prefecture) for over a year and a half in total, and has also been involved in producing CDs at his own expense, promoting and planning performances by foreign artists and performers he has close friendships with.
He lives with his mother on a disability pension of 70,000 yen a month, and works at government offices and facilities for a limited time when there are job openings for people with disabilities. Under such circumstances, he is involved in music activities because he has a rebellious spirit and wants to ``come back no matter what.''
He developed the disease during his time at Toyama University. He was active in a table tennis club and also managed the tournament, but as he was about to graduate, his interpersonal relationships became strained over management. The extreme stress and tension continued for two weeks, causing a mental breakdown. He was diagnosed with schizophrenia.
He was in and out of the hospital for about three years, and was in a depressed state with severe mood swings. He is estranged from all his friends except for his closest friends. At the government office where I was hired to hire people with disabilities, I felt that the people around me were cold. With monthly visits to the hospital, his symptoms gradually subsided, and at the same time, he began to make more music.
In February of this year, he was able to co-produce a CD with his admired British music producer Stuart Epps. He is indebted to Yoshitaka Aoki (69), a former member of the Sony Music Group, who taught him the basics of music production. He said, ``He connected with various artists with his warm guidance.'' In recent years, Mr. Stuart has focused on nurturing the next generation, and the fact that he was able to spend time with Mr. Gontani through online exchanges during the coronavirus pandemic was also a plus.
Recently, my state of mind has changed. "There is a limit to just having a rebellious spirit. The relationships between people at the time of the onset of the disease are still broken. I hope we can get rid of the grievances even a little, so that there is a possibility that we can become friends again." On the other hand, she is also worried about how she will be perceived if she reveals her disability. Still, she ventures into new territory, saying, ``I'm interested in how my work, which includes her disability, will be evaluated.''
She continues to believe that someday we will understand each other. ``Lyrics on the theme of love and bonds''
"Someday we'll understand each other," she continued to believe. "A world full of smiles/Our present, facing each other here, is the answer to everything/Now we know from our hearts, sharing all of your pain. I’m here…”
This is Mr. Gontani's work ``A World Full of Love'' (excerpt). Gontani's themes include love for loved ones and bonds that overcome difficulties.
Her most famous work is ``THE JOURNEY,'' co-written with Stuart Epps. Mr. Stuart composed the music for the ten songs written by Mr. Gontani. It depicts her thoughts on her father, who passed away three years ago, and her own life as she felt sick in bed. In June, she released the song ``Kimi-machi Yagura'', which is based on ``Bora-machi Yagura'' in Anamizu-cho, Ishikawa Prefecture, where she spent her childhood.
