AISubs v3.5
This is the Amaska Broadcasting Department.
Good morning, Ms. Asuka.
Oh, good morning.
On the show, you say "good morning" a little earlier, but this is the first time in the new year.
Don't you have that feeling anymore?
No, I don't.
How long have you been working in the new year?
Oh, well, I've had a good rest.
What?
Well, how can I say...
It's been a while...
Oh, right, right, right.
You don't say your day-to-day life that much.
But I've had a good rest, too.
That's right.
Here we are today.
Let's learn the bass from Ms. Hama.
Thank you.
The Amaska Broadcasting Department does a jingle every time.
Is it the opening theme?
Asuka plays the drums because of the recording of you two.
I'm sure you all listen to it every week.
When you said "drums" or "no drums",
you said "drums" or "bass" or something like that, didn't you?
Yes, we did.
Now you say "shall we do it?"
Wow, you really do it.
Right?
Is it okay?
Can you have fun doing it?
You always lie about everything, Ms. Asuka.
If you really don't want to do it that much,
No, I don't want to do it.
You don't want to do it.
Personally, you said you wanted to do it, but you don't want to do it, do you?
No, I don't want to do it.
But I'm sure it's in the category of "I want to do it" for you, Ms. Asuka.
Yes, it is.
Okay, shall we do it?
Amaska Broadcasting Department.
Asuka Broadcasting Department.
It's a little embarrassing when the desk is gone.
It's a little embarrassing.
Well, I brought the instrument with me today.
It's over there.
I won't finish it if you do it carefully, so I'll give you a rough explanation.
The one on Asuka's side and the black one in the middle have slightly different shapes.
Can you see it?
There are some differences in shape.
The left one is called "Precision Bass" and the black one on the right is called "Jazz Bass".
Of course, there are differences in color and so on, so there are differences in things that are not like that.
The black one is like...
This one is stretching.
Yes, yes, yes.
That silver one.
Do you know the difference in the number of knobs on the silver one?
Oh, yeah, it's different.
To put it more accurately, you know that board with a lot of circles on its left side?
That shape is also different.
Oh, yeah!
It feels like it's sticking together or away.
That's a big difference, and it's a microphone.
For singing.
You use the microphone to change the string signal into an electric signal, and the sound comes out of the amplifier.
Is that so?
The type of microphone is different.
Which one do you like, by the way?
What's the difference in sound?
Didn't you just say it? All of them!
All of them will be gone.
The one with a little jazz bass is bigger.
I see.
The body.
If it's about me, the smaller one is better.
If you say it's slim, it's on the left.
Then, this one?
That's good.
You're going to play the precision bass today.
Oh, I see.
That's good.
If you say you like jazz bass...
I'll say, "Let's do it again."
Can you hold it like you're doing it now?
What?
You're giving it to me like this, and I'm holding the instrument.
But you're going to play this, right?
What? I don't know. How do you do it?
What?
I'm sorry. Don't be mad at me.
I'm not mad at you.
Your right knee is bent like this.
Oh, like this.
Yes, yes, yes.
And when you hold your left hand like this,
many people lay their thumb like this and hold it like this.
If you do this, if your thumb is next to you like a human body,
other fingers will never open.
Oh.
If you stand up, your thumb will definitely open.
Yes.
How do you say it?
It's like Soshina-san.
Oh.
It's easy to understand.
And you play the bass with your fingers.
Basically, you use two fingers like this.
Two index and middle fingers.
Oh, really?
Yes, like this.
Oh, that's right.
It's like this.
Yes.
Basically, as I explained earlier, you pick up the microphone.
You put your thumb on this black part and pull the string like this.
You press it here.
Yes, like this.
Yes, but that's about it.
You're already good at it.
Oh, really?
You're already good at it.
You're already 60% good at it.
That's fast.
Yes.
That's fast.
Then do you want me to play it?
Do you want me to play it?
Yes, just like that.
Asuka-san you said earlier, can you turn up the volume a little?
That's how you get the sound.
Yes.
It's true.
It's already 70% done.
With this.
And as an image,
this string,
you hook it in front of you and bring it like this.
That's right.
That's the basic way of playing it.
And you use your middle finger too.
When you get used to it, you can do it like this.
That's right.
You can do it, right?
This is it.
If you play bass, you only do this.
That's really it.
This is it.
And there's a silver stick stuck in the neck, right?
One by one.
This is called a fret.
For example, if you say three strings and three frets, where is it?
One, two, three?
Yes.
This one?
That's correct.
That's a C.
How you hold it is not directly above the fret.
From your point of view, it's just next to it.
Just above it.
Next to it?
Yes, that's it.
Try playing three strings with it.
One, two, three.
Yes, it's a C.
It's a C.
You can't play it all at once today, but you're getting used to it.
The rest is just getting used to it, so I can't teach you all at once.
For example, four strings and three frets.
Four strings and five frets.
One, two, three, four, five.
That's it.
Then three strings and five frets.
Right below.
For example...
Let's do something like a phrase.
Can you do it?
It's hard!
It's hard.
You don't know how many strings you're playing.
You don't know.
That's right.
When you start playing an instrument, you'll know even if you don't look at it.
You'll never know at first.
When a string suddenly flies...
You'll get used to it.
But you're doing it right.
I want you to remember this.
I'll continue talking.
But you're fast!
Wow!
Isn't it amazing?
You know...
It's hard!
As expected of you!
It's hard!
Is it hard?
Yes.
It's not like you can't do it at all.
No, it's not like that.
As expected of you!
And...
There's something you hit in the opening.
It's the same principle as this.
Even if you don't hold anything down, you can still make a sound.
You just hit it like this.
That's amazing.
You can do it!
When you can do this...
This and one more.
This is super easy.
You just hook it and do it like this.
Yes, yes, yes.
You're just doing this and this.
It's the only fancy thing you can do with bass.
Oh, I see.
Masuka is getting used to bass now.
Now, Hama will introduce a song with a cool bass line that you can play slowly.
Shall we listen to "good times" first?
This is the main bass.
Do you know the bass?
Do you want me to play it for you?
You can play it like this for a long time.
I want you to be able to play like this, Masuka.
I'm happy to hear that.
I think you'll like the next song.
"good times" is a little greedy, but it would be cool if you could play it like this.
It would be cool.
I don't do difficult things.
But if you actually teach me how to play it earlier,
you'll be like "ah" right?
Yes, I will.
You'll be like "ah, that sound" right?
And from now on,
as a song that Asuka wants you to be able to play today,
Hama-san will challenge this song that he has selected.
Hey, do you remember what I taught you earlier, Asuka-san?
This.
Yes.
While I was thinking about it,
"hard to say" is a new song?
Yes, it's a very new song.
I listened to the best version and chose it.
Hama-san has selected "hard to say".
It's a song with a little faster tempo,
but will Asuka-san be able to play it all of a sudden?
It's a little fast, but...
Actually...
This is what I taught you earlier.
So...
This is what I taught you earlier.
Oh, I see.
Well, I'll move it a little here.
Asuka-san can do it!
Her own song.
So, if you can keep up with the current tempo,
you can play the current intro and chorus.
Let's give it a try.
This is the tempo.
She is fast.
Good!
You are doing it!
You can repeat it.
She is fast!
Good!
She is fast!
G, A, D.
Wow!
She is playing a new song.
Wow! It's interesting!
Yes, but please remember only that.
Yes.
Yes, yes, yes.
Fast!
You're doing it!
Easy!
You're fast!
You're a bassist, too!
That's funny!
I'm glad we could work together.
How was it? Did you have fun?
It was fun!
I want a bass.
You can take it home.
You can take it home and practice.
I want to take it home.
Let's take it home.
I don't know if I'll do it or not.
You're busy, so you don't have to do it.
If you really want it, let's go on location.
It's better to choose it yourself.
Only dreams are big.
I'm going to Hamaska for a festival.
Only dreams are big.
It's important, isn't it?
Let's do it in my place.
I'll do my best.
Let's switch.
Sounds fun!
I can't teach you anything.
Please teach me something!
