音楽番組って、何気なく見始めるとやめられなくなってしまいます。好きなアーティストだけは見逃すまいと、早めにつけた「音楽の日2019」でしたが、結局ずっとハマって観ていました。
A music program is something that I can’t stop watching once I start to even without thinking much of it. I just wanted to watch my favorite singers so I switched the channel for the music program called “Ongaku no Hi 2019” early but I was soon into it.
司会が中居正広さんということで、嵐が出たときには、「もしかして」と少し期待していました。中居くんがメンバー一人一人にコメントを求める中、ついに大野くんの番になりました。活動の休止が決まってからの、現在の心境について尋ねた中居くんに対し、「お前が休め！」と言い放った大野くんに、大喜びで手を叩きました。「うたばん」での懐かしいお約束に、ワクワクが止まりませんでした。
The MC was Nakai Masahiro so I expected something to happen when I see Arashi appear in it. Nakai asked each of them to give a comment and finally it comes to Oono’s turn. Nakai asked him to give a comment about halting their activity and what Oono said brusquely was just, “You halt!”, and I was so exhilarated that I couldn’t help clapping my hands. That’s because what happened there was a sort of routines they always went through in an old music program called “Utaban” that I used to watch before.
滝沢秀明さんプロデュースによるジャニーズJr.のパフォーマンスには、男の自分でさえ、「こんなホストクラブあったらみんな行かんばやろ」と勝手に頷いていました。
What Johnny’s Jr. performed was something that is produced by Takizawa Hideaki, and my impression about it was so good even for a guy like me and what I thought was like, “If there is a host club like this, anyone wants to go there”.
お目当てのひとつ、リトグリのアカペラは、案の定すごくて圧倒されました。カバーばかりなのが残念でしたが、それでも大満足でした。テレビでこのレベルですから、ライブではどんだけすごいのか想像もつきません。
One thing I was looking forward to was a cappella by Little Glee Monster and it was extremely good as I thought it would be. All the songs were covers but I was more than satisfied. They are so good even on TV programs like that, so I can’t imagine how good they are in a live concert.
もう一つの楽しみだった椎名林檎さんは、「長く短い祭」「丸の内サディスティック」を歌われました。「長く短い祭」での浮雲さんはもちろんですが、「丸の内サディスティック」ではヒイズミマサユ機さんと共演されているのをみて喜びました。林檎さん自身のパフォーマンスにも打ちのめされました。
Another singer I wanted to watch was Shiina Ringo, and she sang two songs, “Nagaku Mijikai Matsuri” and “Marunouchi Sadistic”. Ukigumo, a guitarist, joined the first song, and HiizumimasayuKi, a keyboardist, joined the second one so I was glad because they are my favorite musicians. Shiina Ringo’s song and dance performance were overwhelmingly impressive for me.
にしてもゴールデンボンバーの「女々しくて」は、なんであんなに連れていかれるんでしょう。21世紀の名曲と秘かに決めつけています。
There was one more thing I felt then was about a song called “Memeshikute” by Golden Bomber, a band, and what I felt was how good the song was to such a degree that I was almost carried away. I decided that the song is a standard song of the 20th century.
ただのオーディエンスですが、それでも思います。音楽って、人間に与えられた最高に遊べるおもちゃです。
I know I’m just an audience, even so, I’m sure that music is a great toy that is given to us.
