AISubs v3.5
- I'm Osobu Hamasu. - Hi.
Today's music theme is...
A world of self-made instruments that can't be satisfied with the sound we have now.
- We like this kind of music, too, Asuka. - I like it, too.
This time, we'll introduce people who can't be satisfied with the sound they have now and who made a new instrument from scratch.
A world of self-made instruments that can't be satisfied with the sound we have now and who made a new instrument from scratch.
- Osobu Hamasu. - Osobu Hamasu.
Let's start with the first instrument.
A world of self-made instruments that can't be satisfied with the sound we have now and who made a new instrument from scratch.
What? Where did I put it?
A world of self-made instruments that can't be satisfied with the sound we have now and who made a new instrument from scratch.
Isn't it amazing?
Amazing!
I'm glad you did it.
You looked like you could do it better, but it was amazing.
Let me introduce you to Mr. Uda, Uda Michinobu, the composer of Uda.
Nice to meet you.
A world of mysterious instruments created by Mr. Uda, Uda!
The tone changes where you hold down the handles on both sides.
In addition, you can adjust the strength of the sound and play it by pushing it in.
Amazing!
As you can see, the handle parts are divided into small areas for each sound level.
When you push it in, the internal sensor detects the pressure and makes a sound.
I see.
At the end of the outer side, this is the highest note.
As you move from here to push it in, the note gets lower and lower,
and the note gets one octave lower in one cycle.
That's six cycles and six octaves.
Six cycles?
The notes are aligned symmetrically.
If you hold it down in multiple places,
it makes a sound.
It's a fretless instrument.
That's right.
As you can see,
the notes are aligned smoothly like a violin.
In addition, you can play Japanese music.
It's a Japanese music instrument.
As far as I know, it's not.
Mr. Uda,
did you listen to a paper detective?
Everything is everything.
How did you come up with it?
I used to play the guitar.
I've been having fun playing the guitar.
I came across a song that wasn't standard tuning.
If you change the tuning, you can't use what you've been playing.
That was a big shock.
Is it okay for a guitar to have six strings?
What is a fret anyway?
What is a doremia thrust?
When I realized it, I was making something like this.
That's amazing.
Here's a list of Uda's previous steps.
It started in 2018?
That's right.
That's amazing.
So you spent eight years in college.
Normally, you'd spend about four years.
I'm going to continue making Uda using college equipment.
I see. Once you're out of college, you need tools and other things.
You have to find things yourself.
In 2008, you got a job as a semiconductor manufacturer.
There was a good semiconductor.
There was a good semiconductor called p-soc.
With this semiconductor, you can easily make Uda.
You're only thinking about Uda.
You're like Amuro's father.
We also have Uda in our hands.
Huh? What?
Why are you making such ominous sounds?
I'm scared!
That's our latest model.
You're making weird reverberations.
No, I'm scared.
Are you okay?
She's closing her eyes and taking a deep breath.
Since we're here, let's play a song.
- Can you do it? - Let's play it!
It's a classic Hamaska song, "Kira Kira Boshi."
Hamaska staff always think they can do it quickly.
This is what amateurs look for.
I don't think I can keep up with Asuka's speed.
- Can you play it for us? - Huh?
- "Kira Kira Boshi." - By myself?
- Can I play it with Ueda? - Sure.
I'm scared...
It sounds like a small dog howling.
I'm scared... I'm scared... I'm really scared...
I'm scared...
The latest error happened and Asuka-san was playing the melody and I was like...
It's funny...
At the stage of setting, both of you have a forward posture and it's like this.
The next self-made instrument is this!
Thank you very much!
The second person is Mr. Samuel, who made a self- made instrument called "chopstick piano".
Still, where is the "chopstick" in this instrument?
You said "chopstick piano" and introduced it to me, but is that the so-called "chopstick"?
Ah, yes, yes, yes.
It's the first generation photo, isn't it?
This is not the one you brought me now, is it?
Yes, yes, yes.
It has been improved more and more, and now it is the seventh generation.
That's right, it's the seventh generation.
I don't use a chopstick for this, but it was originally in the previous photo.
But now, most of the structure is made of wood, isn't it?
Yes, yes, it's not a chopstick.
The reason you play the melody is...
I want this!
So you play the melody of the melody with a string and play the bass and harmony with it.
That's right.
But that's not all you do.
Do you kick with your left foot?
Yes.
Do you have a percussion instrument on your feet?
Ah, this is it.
It's a bell.
This is a bell that you can buy in a shop.
You have a bell on your feet, and it sounds like you're stepping on a hat, doesn't it?
That's right.
And in the middle of it is a cymbal.
Wow!
It's a cymbal.
Yes, it's a cymbal. It's a bit like a Chinese cymbal.
It's completely original, isn't it?
The main question is...
Why did you want to make this?
I used to play the piano.
About 12 years ago, I wanted to make my own original instrument for some reason.
But it was originally played on the piano.
So, structurally, it started with that kind of thing.
At first, too.
I feel sorry for the piano.
It's like a musical instrument trapped in a cage.
I don't know how the sound is made, I just press a button.
Maybe there are people who don't know that there is a string stuck in the piano like this, right?
Yes!
Right?
That's right!
If you hit it with a hammer and say it's a mechanism, it's the same, right?
Certainly, you can't see it all in the cage, can you?
Can I touch it for a moment?
Go ahead.
But it's amazing. It's already a simple structure, isn't it?
And here's the melody.
Do you want me to end it or do you want me to listen to it?
No, then I'll listen to it.
I think it's good to listen to it.
It doesn't break, does it?
It's very interesting.
I might play it forever.
It's amazing!
But it's easy to understand when you see it in real life.
It's amazing!
Wow!
Right?
It's funny!
That's right!
It's amazing!
It's a very simple structure.
It's amazing!
It's very interesting.
I might play it forever.
It's amazing!
When you touch it, the structure is simple,
so it might be easy for people who can play the piano to understand it.
Bye!
All right, let's move on.
Here is the next self-made instrument.
- Thank you very much. - Thank you very much.
This is like a steel pan, but in terms of style, it's an instrument...
In terms of groups, steel pan groups are often classified,
but in reality, the principle of sound is a little different.
It's a disk-shaped metal, but it changes the sound with the length of the cut,
so the longer it is, the lower the sound becomes, and the shorter it is, the higher the sound becomes.
Currently, the production and sale of this propanolta...
- I see, it's already for sale, Sugai-san. - Oh, it's for sale.
I see. And various jobs have been done up to this point.
Well, let's look at the history first.
You're employed by a kimono salesman, aren't you?
- Well, I quit right away, but... - That's right.
- You've become a farmer. - That's right.
- And four years later, you work at a Mexican restaurant. - Yes.
- And two years later, you've become a firework craftsman. - That's right.
"That's right," I say in a very simple way,
but after becoming a firework craftsman, you've become a man.
- It's connected to the present, isn't it? - That's right.
So, here's a quiz.
A quiz came out of nowhere, as expected.
I've heard about "propanolta" before,
but in your career so far, is there a material that you've dealt with closely?
Ask-san, do you know about this?
- What is it? - I see, you're good at giving out hints.
I see.
- The hint is "propanolta." - Yes.
Propanolta...
Do you notice anything in this?
- Well, it's like someone playing an instrument in a frying pan. - Yes, you mentioned it before.
I thought it might be something like that.
- Yes, but is it originally made of metal? - Metal?
I wonder what it is.
- Can you tell me what it is? - Of course.
- The answer is here. - I see.
- Is it propangas? - Yes, it's propangas.
- Propangas... - Is this the raw material?
- We reprocessed it and made it like this. - I see.
Mr. Sugai used propangas to heat firewood for fireworks during the firework craftsmen era.
Therefore, it was a very short material.
It's in our hands now.
- By the way, how long does it take to make this? - It takes about two days to paint it.
- But it only takes two days. - Of course, when we first started making it, it still took about a week or a lot of time.
- But we've been doing it for a long time, so it's getting shorter. - That's right.
- Of course, there is playing technique, but it sounds good no matter who hits it. - That's right.
- So I think it's best to do it randomly rather than playing it. - I see.
- That's what it sounds like.
- Isn't it good? - I'm getting sleepy.
- Here is the next self-made instrument.
Wh-what do you mean?
Wow!
Let me ask you first.
What do you mean?
Asuka, you are amazing. I don't know why you are doing this.
We have changed many things.
Oh, yes.
This is a sensor.
For example, it picks up pressure.
We use mobile phones to emit light.
I thought it was perfect.
Why do you use mobile phones?
It's light.
If you insert this kind of thing...
This is a pressure sensor.
It changes to a musical instrument that picks up pressure.
The way you insert it changes the way you play, right?
Yes.
With pressure...
Like this...
The height of the sound changes depending on the force you pinch it with your finger.
Oh, so it's not the time you touch it, but the strength that affects it.
I press various buttons on the way.
If you use it...
It will record your previous performance.
You can combine them and play.
Why did you want to make this?
I used to play jazz guitar.
You used to be a jazz guitarist?
That's the complete opposite!
What do you like about jazz guitar?
I like ad-libs.
I started developing electronic instruments because I thought it would be easier to play an instrument that doesn't fit in a mold.
But I got too involved in making instruments.
I teach development of such instruments at the University of Ferris.
Are you a teacher?
I'm a teacher.
I specialize in electronic instruments and sound design.
Mr. Nakanishi, who has made more than 20 kinds of self- made instruments so far, brought some of them to the studio today.
The one you've made so far has arrived.
Would you like to play it once?
This is the shape of when I started making this powder box.
I think it has a black protruding part.
Could you hold it where it protrudes?
Wow!
Why?
Asuka, why do you make noise when you touch electronic instruments?
I'm scared!
I think it's a contact.
Asuka, look at this.
What is this?
It's a cell music instrument.
You can put your hand like this.
Wow!
It's true.
Wow!
What's that on the far right?
Wavy?
Yes.
Ask-san, please press it hard.
Wow! Wow! Wow!
It's like...
What? What? What?
It's amazing!
The vibration...
Is it vibrating?
Yes.
It's interesting.
Do you like to press it hard?
This is like that, too.
That's right.
This is like that, too.
I like it.
After this, Hamasuka Election's Launch Melody Project will finally start operation!
Wow!
Here, we also selected "Launch Melody", which we dealt with as a theme before.
But this time, we will actually use the sequel.
The Hamasuka team went to get permission to use it and submitted it to Kitachinaka Kaihin Railway.
Let's take a look at how it looks like.
Is it already there?
Hama-san and Asuka-san's song "ekimero ni aisou na kyoku"
is very well received by the show's exclusive arranger, Ishimiya-san.
In order to promote the song, the staff went to a secret railroad.
Railroad companies often say "hard",
and I'd like you to know that there are places where it's not hard.
I'm happy to receive it.
So, first of all, Asuka-san's song "Melody" has been played.
(The song "Melody" is played.)
What?
How can we cooperate with you?
What?
When we asked the passengers about their impressions of Hushabelle...
It's a good image.
It's an old town, so I feel like something new has been added.
My heart is dancing.
Your heart is dancing?
It's like Disneyland.
It's cute.
I'm quite impressed.
I've been doing it because I wanted my song to be a hit.
I feel like my dream has come true.
I'm very happy.
Next, here is "Tunnel Heaven" chosen by Hama-san.
Wow!
No, no, no.
Hey, you're working too hard.
Mr. Shimiya, wait a minute.
The sense of loss is overwhelming and the "OK" pose from the station staff is also explosive.
Is that what it is?
Then, how will you operate these two songs?
As for June, it is "Tunnel Heaven" chosen by Asuka-san.
As for July, it is "Tunnel Heaven" chosen by Hama- san.
I would like to operate it here.
Wow!
It seems that you can operate it with a special monthly program for each month.
Everyone, why don't you visit Hitachinaka Kaihintetsudou Nakaminato Station?
Wow, I think it's amazing.
It's worth doing it.
I'm happy.
The comments of people who use it often are like Disneyland.
It's a very cute impression.
As a program, it's a happy announcement.
Everyone, please go there.
"Tunnel Heaven"!
What is "Asuka Fest"?
