AISubs v3.5
Let's go!
Uwai Uwai Queen!
Let's go!
Good evening! I'm Kishimoto Yueno!
Today, we have a very passionate senpai as a special guest!
Kishimoto and Kamiiro were together!
It's awesome! I'm looking forward to it!
I mean, we're about the same distance as senpais in club activities.
Is it too much to say?
But we're that much of senpais!
Let's hear a lot of passionate stories!
I'm looking forward to it!
I'm gonna have so much fun tonight!
This year is the sixth anniversary of Tsubaki Factory, and we would like to work hard on the theme of rock, but what kind of image do you all have of rock?
Kiki!
I'm happy!
That's right.
Tamashii!
Tamashii?
Tamashii!
I'm doing it again now.
(Tamashii is a Japanese rock band that has been around for over 50 years.)
But you still have that image, don't you?
I think we all have that kind of image.
To mark the start of such a six-year anniversary, we have invited a special guest to talk about the songs we've been working on so far!
Let's call in our guest right away!
It's Takui Nakajima!
Please come in!
Thank you for having me!
Takui-san!
Thank you for having me!
So, we have Takui Nakajima here with us today!
I'm actually Takui.
Oh, you're Takui!
This TV show has a lot of influence, doesn't it?
Takui-san! Takui-san!
My relatives will get mad at me for calling me "Takui" instead of "Takui".
That's right. I'm Takui Nakajima.
When you call me "Takui-san", is it really "Takui- san"?
No, no. It's really "Takui".
That's what people from Kanto call me.
I see.
I'm from Fukuoka.
Oh, you're from Fukuoka.
I'd like to say this out loud.
Let's say it out loud!
It's "Takui-san".
So, here's what we're going to do today in order to call you "Takui-san"!
I'm Takui Nakajima.
Daibokuro
Imada Kara Hana Cell
Tsubaki Factory
Mr. Takui, who has produced many songs of "Tsubaki Factory" so far,
will talk about the behind-the-scenes of song production and the members' true selves, which is why he is here today.
I'm looking forward to it!
Here is a list of songs of "Tsubaki Factory" that Mr. Takui has produced so far.
- Wow! - That's amazing!
- That's a lot! - Mr. Takui has a list of songs.
- That's a lot of songs! - Mr. Takui has a list of songs.
- Let me read it for you. - There are a lot of hot songs.
"Tsubaki Factory" and "Imada Karahana Cell" are a contrast!
- Wow! - That's a good movie!
- That's a good movie!
- Now, let's look back! - Okay!
The first song that Mr. Takui and I produced was "Harvest Sensation" which was the first song that Mr. Takui and I produced.
- That's right. - That's right.
- When we won the prize, did you watch it? - Well, we watched it on TV.
- I don't know if we were in the studio or at home, but at the time, Mr. Takui said to the president of the company that "Tsubaki Factory" would definitely be released at this time, and we\ Nstopped recording and watching it.
- Wow! - That's amazing!
- Thank you very much! - You're welcome!
- So, when "Harvest Sensation" is released on Nakajima Takui, my relative said, "What?! Nakajima Takui, my relative, is going to release it!"
- So, after that broadcast, I couldn't stop calling him. - What?!
- "Did you write the song?!" - What?!
- I was really happy about it. - It was quite an emotional performance, wasn't it?
- Right? It was quite something. - Yes. - That's why I was moved even when I was watching it.
- Even when I was watching it from the top. - That last performance was really good.
- Like, everyone's arms were like... well, everyone's arms were this long, but...
- That plus the fact that it was stretched out a few centimeters... - What?! - I felt like everyone's form was big.
- It was really long. - Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- The way the energy came in was transmitted from the beautiful girls and the low-skinned girls. - That's right.
- So, gathering is the theme of the show. - Yes.
- I think everyone had to dance in recruit suits. - Yes.
- Was there anyone who didn't resist? - No, there was only resistance.
- Resistance?! - Resistance?! - No, I'm sure there was resistance!
- No, I was really surprised! - I was surprised!
- I thought, "Will they cut it?" But I didn't think they'd actually cut it. - I know, I know!
- I was like, "Are you serious?!" - I knew it!
- I didn't have to cut it, but when I won the rookie award... - Oh, right, right!
- I thought, "Oh, I have to cut it!" - I thought, "Oh, I have to cut it!"
- The seniors were wearing really gorgeous costumes. - That's right, that's right!
- That's right. When I wore this costume, I felt really bad about it. - No, no, no!
- But me and Kishimoto, on the other hand, in front of the seniors of "Hello! Project"...
- We were wearing suits like this... We were like, "Um, no! This is embarrassing!"
- On the inside, I thought this would make an impact. - Yeah, it made an impact...
- It had an impact, but... - Everyone else did not.
- You know, it's like you're being a parent. - Yeah...
- So I was like, "This is delicious!" - Yeah, it's delicious when you think like that.
- But at first, I wanted to wear a fancy costume when I'm an adult.
- I was like, "If I wear a recruit suit, people would definitely think this way..."
- We got used to the city. - I got used to the city.
Were you able to move with it?
I was able to, but...
It's too early for that.
Let's talk about the behind-the-scenes of music video shooting.
Music video shooting is really early in the morning.
It's too early and there's no start.
At that time, I often worked with Yumeno Kishimoto.
I walked with Yumeno Kishimoto for a station.
I took a train and walked for another station.
I walked for a long distance in the morning.
I was chased and I sweated a lot.
We went to a convenience store and bought handkerchiefs and headed there while sweating.
I'm still using those handkerchiefs.
That's good.
I remember music videos every time I use them.
It was early in the morning, so Maopin was sleeping.
What? Really?
We were sleeping?
Yes, we were sleeping.
We got together at work and put on makeup and headed for the location.
Maopin didn't come and the manager was furious.
What? Really?
I saw it and thought, "Oh, my God."
I thought, "Maopin is doing it."
I'm sorry, but I don't remember it at all.
I don't remember it at all.
Maopin was sleeping.
What?
Here is the next theme.
"Cigar Factory," so "Marunage?" "Konya Dake Ukaretakatta?"
Konya Dake Ukaretakatta?
I want you to say "Konya Dake Ukaretakatta?"
I want you to say it.
What does it mean?
Marunage?
First of all, there is a big chorus.
Yukata wo okinata yo
That song didn't have that chorus.
What?
It didn't.
So, in short, it was a song that I used only for that reason, "sandwich manager," with three compositions of A melody and B melody chorus.
And it became a hit song.
It became a hit song, but I want you to add a big chorus.
I want you to say it.
So, as I said earlier, I can't write novels or anything like that, so I didn't have time to make a demo even for that.
I said something like "Please give me about 15 minutes, 30 minutes", and then I put it in my own key and explained it like "this is the chorus".
Oh, and when I go back to the story, it was Ameko- chan who wrote the poem for me.
That's right.
Taisei-san said "I want you to add a big chorus", and I said "No, not now, Sukazuki-ni".
"No, I thought you would say that", so I said "What if it rains?"
That's right, that's right.
I said "If it rains and there is a big chorus, what kind of lyrics will it be?", and it came out right away.
Wow, that's amazing!
Well, first of all, there was that kind of weight and roundness, but as I said earlier, the key is high, isn't it?
It's high.
That's right, that's right.
At first, Taisei-san said, "Is it really high?"
But at that time, I said "No, if there are so many members, there is one person who can sing high keys", and I said "Well, that's also true".
Even so, he took the melody as it is, or if it's too high, lower the melody or fix it sometimes, but I decided to do that and made it.
Wow, that's amazing!
With momentum!
How long does it take you to compose a song?
Well, I'm not bragging about it, but if I come up with a song, I'll do it right away. I write it in 10 minutes.
Wow!
When does it come to your mind?
I think there are probably times when it's in that mode.
Well, so is poetry, but let's just go with the song.
For example, if you get a call from a director and you say you want me to write a song like this, you'll write it down, won't you?
"Oh, in this song, in this song", "Oh, I got it", "How long can you do it?", "No, I'll do it right away", and so on.
Well, but it takes about two weeks, doesn't it?
But if you just hang up the phone, you'll just turn it off and you're already looking at it, right?
For example, love songs or tempo is about 142 or 130, or dance beats or kip shibuchi, if you have such a request, you'll keep thinking about it all the time and you'll hear it more and more.
Wow!
The world is different!
For example, I'm training all the time, so I go walking, jogging, I do it every day, but if I think about that song all the time and run, when I'm pretty tired, like three kilos, five kilos, I think it's no good, but when I'm thinking about a song, I can run an average of ten kilos.
Wow!
You're concentrating, aren't you?
Wow!
That's right, that's right.
Of course, I don't have an instrument, so I just go home and play it like this with a guitar and make it.
Wow!
As for me, there are a lot of good songs in the SUBARU FACTORY, but I was really happy that a song that was so exciting came out of it.
Oh, only tonight?
Even now, it's a song that's indispensable for live performances.
Oh, I'm happy.
I'm really happy.
The song itself is minor, but it's not a bright song, is it?
On the other hand, I'm happy that you think so.
This song was featured in the drama "Project" called "Hello in the Midnight".
At that time, "Little Camel" wasn't recorded, so we were the only ones recording it.
That's right.
At that time, it was very difficult and energetic, so it was very difficult to sing one song.
I thought my seniors were amazing.
Oh, I see.
I don't know about this, but I don't feel like I'm a professional writer.
After all, I'm a person who wrote and sang songs myself and came to live performances myself, so from the perspective of a professional writer, I don't sing myself.
I'm a singer, so I think I have a habit of singing.
I don't know if it's a Nagajima-like office.
So, there may be many songs that I don't sing much.
Oh, you're being called.
Some people have a lot of songs, but my songs that I attack are also songs that I attack.
I don't sing much.
And I think Ameko-chan also chose the words of "staccato" and put the lyrics in it, so it may not be a song that you can sing suddenly.
Well, it's difficult and I'm sorry.
For me, this song is really hot in this recording.
But my feelings ran ahead and I have a memory of biting my mouth without moving it.
Riko-chan, you have feelings that run ahead of you, don't you?
Yes, I do.
Saori had a special feeling for the chorus of this song.
As Takumi-san said, there is a high key part in "Nakitaiwa", isn't it? Yes, it's high.
I liked it as soon as I heard it.
When I listened to one song, I said "I wish I could get only this part" and went to record it.
I said "Let me record it until I'm satisfied with it" and I recorded it quite a number of times.
I was on the train when the song "Nakitaiwa" came out and I was wondering how it would be like.
As soon as I heard it, I said "I wish I could get only this part" and went to record it.
You felt like you didn't have to show it, didn't you?
I felt like I didn't have to show it because I was satisfied with it.
Now, Kiki asked Takui-san for a favor.
I have a brother who is 15 years old and he is practicing bass and guitar at home.
He said he wants to be a composer one day.
He wants to be a composer one day.
He said he wants to be able to do either of them and he gave me some advice.
I'm happy!
I want you to do it.
By the way, how old were you when you started playing an instrument?
I started playing guitar about a year ago but I like bass better.
I see.
I started playing guitar when I was in middle school and I was about 13 years old.
Do you write songs now?
I used to write songs.
Do you practice a lot?
I knew that I had to keep writing songs.
When I'm asked what kind of songs I have, I think it's better to say "I have this and that."
But before that, the most important thing is to listen to various genres of music.
I listen to various genres of music and copy them.
I can't read musical notes now.
I can't even read musical notes.
I listen to all genres of music.
When I listen to a lot of songs, my ears are sharpened and I can tell right away.
When I know what chord progression this song has and what kind of number of bars it has, I can talk to people about music theory.
So before I make a song, I tell my brother to listen to a lot of songs.
The theme of this song is this.
"My darling, do you love me?" which was originally from a man's point of view.
My darling, do you love me?
That's right.
What does it mean?
There is a bit of a love song.
I just read the lyrics.
It's a very sweet love song, isn't it?
Originally, it was lyrics from a man's point of view.
I think it's a little hard to imagine.
For example, "you" is probably...
I wonder what "you" is.
I sang it!
I saw it on YouTube.
Was it my live performance?
I've done a cover of it.
That's "only you".
You sang it?
I think so.
But I didn't do it like that.
It was like this in the song.
But "bye bye" was "bye bye blue".
"Bye bye blue".
"Blue".
We can't say "I love you" and we can't hold hands and we have to say "goodbye" today.
That's why it's "blue".
That's how we ended it.
But sometimes it's simpler like "bye bye".
Are you short of breath?
I think it was a little different and manly.
I've been looking at the emails you've sent me.
I don't know, but it was like that.
I was wondering if you could fix all the manly parts for girls.
Originally, it's a genre called "sweet soul".
It's a sweet song like this that black people often do.
It's a very straight love song.
So when we came to an agreement, it became a song that Tsubaki sang and became a song.
I also have a song called "my darling do you love me" and I choreographed it.
I joined Tsubaki Factory about a year and a half ago.
I had an image of "the idol song" for the first time.
Each and every choreography is simple.
That's why it's very difficult to convey the worldview of the song with words and songs like that.
But aren't lyrics relatively simple?
That's right.
If it's simple lyrics, it's not easy to convey.
That's right.
I'm also Nakajima-san...
Yes, don't call me Nakajima-san.
Call me Takui-san.
Don't call me that.
I saw Takui-san singing "my darling do you love me" alone.
I think it's a song that looks simple and can be sung by people of various positions.
That's why it's such a difficult song.
I see.
By the way, Mani-chan, you're very polite.
You're from Kyushu, aren't you?
No, I'm from Nagasaki.
That's why. You sound like you're from Kyushu.
Oh, really?
We'd never say that.
But you're the only one from Kyushu, right?
Yes, I am.
I'm from Fukuoka, too.
Oh, I'm from Kyushu, too.
I think I know where you're from.
I thought you said you were from Nakajima-san.
Thank you.
Kiki has an unforgettable episode with this song.
When "Aiken" that I spent with for 15 years passed away,
I sang this song during a rehearsal.
But all of the lyrics were stuck in my head.
I was singing while holding back my tears from "A" melody.
But in the last chorus of "Anata wa suki ni natte"
I couldn't hold back my tears anymore.
After that, Makishimoto Yumeno-chan and other girls in the solo part started crying.
I remember we all cried during the rehearsal.
I've been singing for 10 years, and I know how you feel.
Of course, when you pass away, you'll continue with your life.
If you work like this, you'll perform live, too.
You shouldn't hold back your tears on stage.
But you always think of them, don't you?
Yes, I do.
Especially this song.
Yes, you link it with the lyrics.
I know it very well.
It's supposed to be a song about a man and a woman's message.
But I don't think it's right for you to think of "Aiken" and sing it.
If you think like that in the future, you'll cry.
You don't have to cry at all.
It's rock.
It's hot.
I don't think you should hold back your tears and sing "Aiken" without thinking about "Aiken" today.
But it's a song that I felt everyone's kindness through it.
Why? It's a good story, isn't it?
It's a song that changed my impression again.
Thank you very much.
Here's what Kiso-chan wants Takui-san to do.
I've been asking you a lot of questions, so I'd like you to do me a favor.
What is it?
At first, you said it was a song about a man's perspective.
I also saw the live video.
I want you to sing "omae dake ni" part of it.
What?
Really?
What are you talking about?
You're wrong.
What part do I have to sing?
You're wrong.
"watashi ni"?
No, "dore dore" and "kamera" at least 13 times.
"omae dake ni" like this?
But you sang it like that.
The video you watched.
Not now. Do it again.
"kamera" and "watashi ni" please.
omae dake ni
I'm sorry!
Thank you very much.
I'm sorry, Suna-chan's fans!
I don't think you're that attention-grabbing.
The next theme is this.
Adrenaline-damaged miracle that changed history.
What does it mean?
I'll tell you my personal thoughts.
I've written a lot of songs for Hello! Project.
But it's actually the first time I've won first place.
With my own song.
That made me happy.
And at the same time...
It was the first time for me to be No. 1.
I didn't expect it.
Last night, I heard that I was No. 2 or something like that.
I was like, "Oh, I didn't know that."
And at the same time, I was happy about it.
So, in my life as a composer and as a musician,
it's a song I can't forget.
No. 1 doesn't mean anything higher than that.
I'm really grateful for that.
I'm glad that in your history,
there is a name for Tsubaki Factory.
I'm really happy about it.
When I wrote this song,
I knew I could do it.
I'm saying this now, but if I say this before the release,
people will ask me what I'm talking about.
So, when I came up with the song,
when I made it,
I thought it was a great song.
I still remember it.
For me,
the song and the dance are intense.
I want them both to be cool and stand out.
But, physically,
if you dance too hard, you can't sing well.
It was like that in the beginning.
But, every time I did it,
my singing and dancing got stronger.
I've been singing recently,
but I couldn't sing at all in the beginning.
I just remembered that.
The director asked me to change one melody.
That's how big it is now.
I kept the melody high.
It's a dance number and it's intense.
He asked me if I could lower it a little.
It's not about singing hard,
it's about dancing hard.
So, it's like this.
Then, I lower it.
I didn't do it like this.
You didn't do it like this?
I repeated it one more time.
I didn't want it to be like that,
so I changed the melody.
I called someone and told them.
Wow!
You called someone?
I called Masato and told him.
Masato!
Of course, I did it like this.
"How is it?" "I like it!"
By the way,
I was happy that the artist picture of "adrenalin dame" leaked the most in the past.
Thank you!
I didn't know!
Is there anyone else who has something to say?
When we were shooting the music video,
it was very difficult for each of us to dance freely.
We always had to express the song with our facial expressions.
For the first time, it was really difficult for me to express a really cool song like "adrenalin dame" with my whole body.
Did you all dance freely one by one?
Yes.
Free dancing.
I danced three times.
Wow! Really?
Runo looked like she was having a lot of fun.
The music video is not really free dancing.
You can only do it there.
And the song is written there.
So you can't just do whatever you want.
So you danced even though you were told you can do whatever you want?
Yes.
In that sense, it's really free dancing.
It's F.R.E.E.
Yes, it's F.R.E.E.
Ms. Takui, who has provided many songs for us,
is curious about the future songs of Ms. Takui.
If you were to write and compose songs for "tsubaki factory" in the future,
which song would you like to compose?
Tsubaki-e
If you were to write and compose songs for "tsubaki factory", which song would you like to compose?
Well, starting with "sugar sensation", I don't think there were that many funky songs until I was that much of an adult.
Yeah, 16-bit songs that push you down, you know? But there's a song called "masaime", right?
Yeah.
With that song, I feel like I was finally able to release "tsubaki"'s serious, funky, 16-bit songs that dance and attack you for the first time with that song.
Hmm.
Before that, when I was asked to write a song like "masaime", I asked "tsubaki", "what do you think about this song?"
But somehow, "tsubaki"'s image didn't feel like a song that pushed you down with 16-bit songs.
And when I decided to write a song like "masaime" with "tsubaki", first of all, I was happy about it.
Wow.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And now that you've done that song, when you're asked what kind of song it is now, I think it doesn't matter what you do with it now.
Wow.
But before you do that song, you should probably do some funk.
If you haven't done that song yet, you should probably do a song like "masaime".
But don't you feel like you've done a lot of different things?
Yeah, there's a lot of different genres.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I can't wait to see what kind of songs will come out next!
But looking at it like this, you've done a lot of different things, haven't you?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So if you take in a song with a new tempo, like "shuffle" or "hane" and put it in, will you feel something new?
Or like... it may be the same tempo, but will you feel something new if the song title is completely different?
You've really sung a lot of songs, so I have a sense of security that you'll be able to sing any kind of tempo and any kind of rhythm.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Please let me write songs again!
Yes, please!
I'll do it, really. Any time.
And with that, we've invited Takui Nakajima-san as our guest...
We've talked about various songs that Tsubaki Factory has provided us with up until now...
Takui-san, how was it?
Well, you don't really talk about things like this, do you?
- You don't, do you? - Right?
And, well, I'm independent now, so I don't think I'll see you guys as much...
But I was really happy when you told me that you weren't going to do "Adrenaline" anymore and that it was the first song you wrote when you became independent.
So, today, I was able to exchange information about your questions and how you felt at the time...
You've been working hard since "Sugar Sensation" in 2017, and I'm really happy about it.
And I'm glad we're in the same agency.
I think we were able to write songs because of that kind of fate, coincidence, or coincidence.
It's not really a request, it's more like a wish.
I hope we'll be able to do a concert with you and Tsubaki Factory one day...
No, no, no!
Please invite me!
I think it'd be nice if you could make all of the songs we're doing into songs you've written.
I think it'd be comfortable.
Definitely!
Well, I'm really happy that you're telling me that, so let's do it in the future!
Yeah!
I'm looking forward to it!
Well, we hope you'll continue to provide us with songs!
Of course!
Thank you!
That's all! I'm Satsui Nakajima, and I'm Tsubaki Factory, who can still talk!
Bye-bye!
