AISubs v3.5
- I'm Asuka Saha, from the broadcasting club. - Nice to meet you.
It's our first on-air show at this time of the year, and we're doing some sort of election campaign.
- When we came in here earlier, we saw some posters. - Yes, we did.
- Asuka-san, what do you think of these posters? - Well...
I don't know if I should say "what do I think of them"...
- One thing I thought of is "Hey! Music" that day. - Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- "Happy Monday". - Was it "Happy Monday"?
The two of you said "hey, hey, hey" to it.
- But in the end, these words aren't reflected in the posters, right? - That's right.
- When I saw that they weren't reflected in the posters, I felt really lonely. - That's right.
- Right? Well, I'm sorry, but I'm going to ask for words from you two.
- "Happy Monday", "Hey Music", "Happy Monday"... - I don't like it.
Can we go back in time a little bit?
I found out that you two were more involved in making these posters than I thought.
- So, when you're done making them, you're going to... - It's going to end with a tough win, right?
Hamasuka Broadcasting Department!
- Now, we have a follow-up report on the Tamio Produce Project in Okinawa. - Yes.
- Tamio-san, the VTR I asked you about was played a little while ago. - Yes.
- When I asked you about it, you said you were going to make a demo and send it to me. - Yes.
- And that demo has arrived. - Wow.
- It's fast. - Would you like to listen to it?
- Yes, please. - Yes, please.
- Wow. - Wow.
- It's perfect. - Wow.
- Wow.
It was true.
- It's true. - This project. - Wow.
One thing I was curious about is that you have a guitar solo, right?
- Will you do it for me? - Certainly.
- I'm happy if you do it for me. - Yes.
- I'm trying to come up with a joke. - What?
It goes well with the tune of the song and it represents our show.
I think it's a good idea to raise the tone of the song, so let's do it.
After this, the two of them will try to make a lyric.
We'll tell you about it in the second half of the show.
Here's today's music project.
Can you learn our instruments?
This is fun. What is it?
In our previous show, we took up world's rare folk instruments.
In fact, among the hit songs of various musicians and various music,
there are a lot of folk instruments included in them.
This is a banjo that speaks only one thing to the world.
There's a kena and an olivier on my back.
So, today, people who specialize in various folk instruments will gather in the studio.
They will talk about their recommended instruments in detail.
The two of them will choose whether they want to learn it or not.
First of all, Mr. Somoku of Nenshido.
- Thank you for having me. - Thank you for having me.
I'd like to introduce you to these two.
- Chinese instruments, right? - Yes, Chinese string instruments.
I've never seen such a thing before.
- Two strings? - Yes, two strings.
- Two strings. - Yes.
First of all, can we take a look at the store's VTR?
- Yes. - Please.
A musical instrument store located in Ueno, Tokyo, Nenshido.
In a store that sells not only Chinese traditional instruments "nicho" but also "nicho" in one spot,
you can line up various "nicho" from children's to luxury goods in the store.
In the second floor space, you can also learn "nicho" performance.
"nicho" is one of the most popular folk instruments existing in China since ancient times.
On the surface of hexagonal and octagonal bodies,
"nicho" is made of two-colored snake skin.
The sound of "nicho" is like a human woman's singing voice.
In 2000s, many of you may have heard "nicho" performed by girls' 12th grade students in Japan.
Also, recently,
"nicho" is played by Hama-san's "Intro of Love" composed by Hoshino Gen, who also participated in "nicho".
Hama-san plays an impressive melody line.
In addition...
Oh, is that so?
Oh, I see.
"Wow, it brings back memories." "Let's play "Koi no Intro"!"
Wow, it brings back memories.
Among "nogizaka 46" and "harukanaru butan", "nicho"'s tone plays an important role in "nicho".
Such is "nicho"'s charm.
After this, we will talk about "nicho" in full.
Before that, please listen to Soboku-san's performance.
Wow!
Thank you, Soboku-san!
Wow!
The characteristic of this instrument is the sorrowful tone.
Certainly, there is a bit of sadness in the tone.
When people hear it, they can't say anything.
That's the feeling of this tone.
I think you can't play it easily.
How long does it take for you to get used to it?
Some people can get used to it in a month or two.
I see.
If you have a good intuition, you can get used to it quickly.
Oh! Let's actually touch the instrument.
Wow!
It's something I don't know at all.
Please put this socket here.
Is it this close?
Yes, it's close.
Asuka-san, you're good at putting it there.
Thank you.
And Yumi, please put it straight up like this.
Like this?
Yes, like this.
You heard the sound, didn't you?
Huh?
Yes, it's good.
What is it?
I don't know.
Yumi, please put it a little higher.
You don't have to lift it up that much.
You heard the sound.
It's good.
You heard the sound clearly.
Yay!
I'm happy.
They quickly mastered how to play the nico.
Here's a message to push the nico further from a certain person.
It's been a while, Asuka-san and Rikama-san. I'm Chichi, a traditional Japanese instrument maker.
Chichiko, an expert of traditional Japanese instruments around the world, is a traditional Japanese instrument maker.
Chichiko's father is a painter, Hideki Togi.
Chichiko grew up surrounded by his father's traditional Japanese instruments collection.
Chichiko is an elite of traditional Japanese instruments.
Mr. Tohama and Ms. Asuka are wondering if there are two Chinese instruments called "nico" in Japan.
I see.
"Nico" is...
I see.
There is.
Oh, you know it.
Yes.
It's very small and easy to carry around, so I think it's a lot of fun to take it on a trip or something and practice it.
For example, I think it's a very interesting expression to play it with the scenery or something like that.
Please give it a try.
It's definitely small, isn't it?
Yes, it is.
Ms. Asuka, it says "trip" on it, but it's more like a tour.
Oh, I see.
I'm sure there's something like that outside of the dressing room.
I don't know if it's like a biological room or something like that, but there's a separate room called "Asuka-nico" room.
Oh, I think I'd like to do it.
You can practice this alone for mental concentration.
Now it's time for the judgment!
One, two...
Oh!
Why don't you both try it out?
My instrument isn't a bow, so I've always had a longing for it.
Now you've taught me nicely and made me play it, so I simply wanted to do it.
Well, it's a stringed instrument, isn't it? There's that flow, too.
Well, if I were to say something in Chinese, it's "hianmian".
You know, the one that changes like this.
I've learned "hianmian" once.
When I played it, the Chinese people were very happy with it, so I thought it would be good for my job.
I've learned a new skill.
Our second guest is a Celtic flute player, Atao.
What instrument will you be playing today?
I will be playing this tin whistle.
Tin whistle?
Yes, it's called a tin whistle.
It's a flute, isn't it? It sounds very flirty.
Yes, it's a flute.
But it's my first time seeing it.
This is a Celtic flute shop, which is located outside of Tokyo's eastern Kurume city.
Almost all of the products in the shop are Celtic instruments.
Most of them are not available in regular instrument shops.
Among them, the tin whistle that we recommend today is a flute with a structure similar to a recorder.
In Japan, you may not be familiar with its name.
But in fact...
What?
Many of you may have heard of "my heart will go on" from the movie "titanic".
So, Atao, please play the tin whistle.
Wow!
Cute!
Good!
It's a cute example, isn't it?
Cute!
The charm of the tin whistle is its lightness.
If you blow it, even a baby can make a sound.
And there are only three finger holes for using it.
Just by opening it from the bottom in order...
It's really simple and you can play intuitively.
I see.
And the price is affordable.
The cheapest model is about 1,000 yen.
Cheap!
Yes.
But if you go there, it's expensive, too.
This is a pro model and it's about 40,000 yen.
This is about the upper limit.
40,000 yen.
20,000 yen.
You're really good at giving presents.
Thank you very much.
You're right.
It makes you feel like you can do it, doesn't it?
Yes.
When you look at it.
Yes, yes.
If you blow it, you can make a sound right away.
Yes, yes.
You're already blowing it, aren't you?
You can make a sound.
When you first played the recorder, you couldn't make a sound.
It didn't work.
But you can make a good sound.
It's not that difficult to make a sound.
It's not difficult to make a sound.
Yes.
It's so small, but it has two and a half octaves.
Wow!
Here's a message from Chichi to the two of them about this tin whistle.
You have it, don't you?
I do.
I actually have a tin whistle, and I have it in my hand now.
It's a tin whistle.
Why does Chichi have one of those, too?
It's more compact than two of them, so you can put it in your bag and play it anywhere.
It's a very recommended instrument.
Chichi has it all.
Does everyone want to play that song when they get older and have a tin whistle?
Actually, I got in with that, too.
That's right! That's a good story!
From now on...
TIN WHISTLE
One, two...
You have a green one.
Is there anyone you'd like to introduce?
Yes!
It's been a while since I played the tin whistle, and I was happy that it made a good sound.
It's really light. It's really light.
It's so small, but it sounds like it's going to reach far away.
Whenever we do a live show, the manager calls out to the members who are very far away.
It's pretty analog.
If you had this, manager...
It's like a song specification.
This song is "Asuka".
The third person is Mr. Iguchi of "Dalsi Craft", an instrument workshop.
Thank you for your time.
A share warehouse in Yokohama.
A musical instrument shop with its own shop on one corner, "Dalsi Craft".
A shop specializing in folk instruments that have rare string instruments from all over the world.
Many workshops are also repairing instruments.
It seems that people from all over the country have been collecting requests for repair of folk instruments.
Mr. Iguchi recommends "Mountain Dalsima" this time.
It is a musical instrument from the North American Apartheid Region, and its characteristic is to play the string on top of the knee and make a sound.
In fact, famous artists such as Cindy Roper and Brian Jones, who are listed in "The Rolling Stones", also use it for performance.
"Mountain Dalsima" like that, Mr. Iguchi, please play it first.
Mountain Dalsima
It's a good song.
It's one of the rare pre-tunes among string instruments.
So, it's already...
D, D, F, F, A, B, C are lined up and there is no semitone.
So, it's hard to play only a certain tone.
That inconvenience is good.
I see.
The feeling that you can't go to Almighty...
That's right.
There is not much skill.
That's right.
But, it has a straight feeling.
Yes.
It's good.
It's strong.
Asuka-san, it's probably the same as what you said when you taught me the bass.
In front of this fret...
That's right.
That's probably the best.
I see.
It sounds really good.
It sounds beautiful.
It's really fun.
It's beautiful.
It's big to get out of here and bathe in it, isn't it?
Oh, that's right.
I can hear this instrument well for me, but I can't hear it well for the customers.
That's right. I thought the structure of it was interesting.
Isn't there much bathing like this?
This is also where you shave your head, isn't it?
That's right.
Then, here is the old Chichi VTR.
How does Mountain Dalsima recommend it?
Mountain Dalsima...
Yes.
It depends on whether you want to learn this instrument or not.
That's right. I already have Mountain Dalsima, but I don't have it with me now.
What kind of situation is it in?
It's a very interesting instrument, so I can highly recommend it.
For example, Hamasan is a bassist, isn't it?
It's an instrument with a fret, so if you hold it down and pull the string, you can make a sound.
I think it's natural for Hamasan to be able to do this, so I might recommend Niko more than this.
Oh, I see.
Well, you don't have a fret, do you, Niko?
Thank you, Chichi.
You have it, but you don't have Mountain Dalsima with you right now, what is it?
Is there such a situation?
That's right, you have it.
That's amazing.
One, two...
This one and this one.
I think it's either one of them.
It's either one of them.
Of course I'm going to do it, but...
If my guitarist could play it for me,
I think we'll have more space.
Oh, there's also Bass Mountain Darcimer.
It's this big.
I think you're going to say something amazing at this timing!
Then I like Bass Mountain Darcimer.
The name is cool.
Asuka-san, you said it's either one of them.
I want someone who can play in each dressing room.
I can be calm.
I think I can work calmly if I can play in places where there's a lot of noise.
But what kind of dressing room is it?
If the staff calls you "Asuka" and you go to the dressing room,
each member of Bass Mountain Darcimer will go in, right?
It's more like a band than a band.
The dressing room is...
Please do it.
Right?
It's done.
- There's something written about it. - Yes, there is.
I think you can roughly understand what's going on in the show.
- I'm not that excited. - You're not excited.
I feel like I'm going to rebel if someone else says it.
It's good that we're talking about it here.
Yes, I thought it would be interesting to sing about ordinary things in that song.
Like it's written here.
It starts with "monday night no..." right?
- Yes. - Right?
Don't push yourself too hard.
- Yes. - Right?
Do it properly when you do it.
It sounds like you're saying it yourself like an idiot.
- It's like you. - I like it like that.
- The tune is like this too. - That's right.
- I think it suits you. - "Don't be stubborn."
Don't be stubborn and let it flow.
- Yes, yes, yes. - Right?
I got it, I got it.
- I got it. - That's what this show is about.
I like it when it's like an idiot.
Monday night's music show.
Hamasuka, Hamasuka, your show.
- "I know, I know." - Good, good.
I know.
This show is the only one with rings.
- It sounds stupid. - I think it's better if it's stupid.
But it's a song like this.
Lovely talk and pleasant guests.
Full?
If I'm there, it'll be like this.
Asuka-san is a little...
- It's okay because you have rings. - No, it's because I said it.
I have to allow it.
Asuka-san, this feeling I'm talking about is okay, right?
- It's okay. - It's a good temperature.
I'm going to make this atmosphere like a puzzle.
- Oh. - Yes.
I'm going to make this atmosphere like a puzzle.
- I see. - "Asuka-san, just put it in here."
- Yes. - Yes, yes, yes.
- Then it'll be mellow and it'll be like playing with words. - Yes.
I'll do my best.
- I'll finish it up. - Yes.
You can watch past episodes on Terasa.
You can also watch the episode where we made a sudden deal with Okutatamio-san.
Search for "Terasa" now.
Asuka-san, say it again.
