吉沢亮さん、草彅剛さんの演技凄い!:NHK大河ドラマ「青天を衝け」 How impressive their performances are!: NHK Taiga Drama called ‘Seiten wo Tsuke (Reach beyond the Blue Sky)’

 第3話を観た時点で確信しました。これは楽しめます。1年にもわたる楽しみができて喜んでいます。

 I’ve already gotten a conviction after I watched the third episode. This drama is so enjoyable. I’m so glad to get something that I can enjoy for one year.

 正直、大河ドラマは苦手な方です。必要以上に重厚な雰囲気、過剰な演出、舞台演劇的なオーバーアクションといった、身構えてしまう要素が鼻につくからです。今回もノレるか不安に思いながら観ていました。杞憂でした。ノレています。夢中になって観ています。

 Frankly, I don’t really care for Taiga drama. There are several elements that discourage me from watching it, such as unnecessarily serious mood, excessive direction, dramatic overactions, and so on. I watched the first couple of episodes worrying about whether I can enjoy them or not. However, I was agreeably disappointed. I really enjoy this drama now. I’m actually enthralled by it. 

 楽しめている一番の要因は、やはり主役の吉沢亮さんの俳優としての力量です。正直、これほど実力のある俳優さんとは、思っていませんでした。第3話において藍の買い付けをする渋沢栄一の、実に生き生きとした、それでいて自然なあの表情とふるまいとときたらどうでしょう。のちに日本の経済の基礎を確立する主人公の、優れた才覚を思い知らされます。さらに第4話では、理不尽な御用金を強いる役人に対する、あの決然とした目つきと態度に、共感の情を禁じえませんでした。これから描かれるであろう活躍ぶりが、もう楽しみでなりません。

 One reason that makes this drama enjoyable is the great skill of Yoshizawa Ryo, the main actor, as an actor. To be honest, I didn’t expect such a great performance of him. I was so impressed by his lively, but also natural expression and manner when he purchased the leaves of Chinese indigo in the third episode. I could understand how the protagonist, who established the foundation of Japanese economy system, was talented. Plus, I empathized with him when I saw him being irrationally forced to give money to the feudal domain and he looked back defiantly with determined eyes. I’m really looking forward to seeing how they depict his achievements.

 このドラマに期待するもう一つの要素は、最後の将軍、徳川慶喜を演じる草彅剛さんです。驚くのは、草彅さんが演じる慶喜は、歴史小説を通じて自分が持っていたイメージそのままだということです。そこにあるのは、器用すぎるくらいの切れ者で、その才能をどうにでも発揮できる権力の座にいながら、時世を見通す心の目を持つゆえに自分の立ち位置を喜べない人物の姿です。草彅さん演じる慶喜の表情、物腰にはもう、何かしらあきらめに似た厭世観に近いものが感じられます。

 将軍の座を約束された人物と、一介の農民、そんな2人の人生がどのように交差していくのか、これからの展開が楽しみです。

 I have another expectation about this drama and it is an actor who plays the last shogun called Tokugawa Yoshinobu. To my surprise, Kusanagi’s characterization of Yoshinobu is exactly the same as the image I’ve had through some historical novels. The character I can see there is someone who is so clever and deft but frustrated by his uncontrollable situation and what he looks ahead into the future, even though he is in a position of power where he can demonstrate his great abilities. I find a feeling of resignation or pessimism in the expression and the attitude of Yoshinobu played by Kusanagi.

 I’m really looking forward to seeing how those two, one is a guy who is promised to be a shogun and the other is merely a farmer, will encounter in this drama.
