AISubs v3.5
Tonight, the class will go to the concert venue.
Genius pianist Shinya Kiyotsuka will talk about Chopin, classical music and other great geniuses.
He will also teach us multi-technique that can be played well in 30 seconds of practice time.
Bow!
At ease!
Our special guest is genius pianist Shinya Kiyotsuka.
He has won numerous prizes in and outside of Japan.
Since he was 5 years old, his mother taught him classical piano.
- In my case, my mother... - Your mother...
- She's very strict. - What?!
- She's been strict with me since I was a kid. - Strict?!
- My mother is too strict with me. - Yes.
- My sister and I exchange signals with each other. - What?!
- When we talk, people might hear us. - I see.
- My sister calls me "Miya" and I call her "Shinya". - Yes.
- "Mi" and "Shi" are sounds, right? - Yes, yes.
- So, when I tell my sister, "Your mother is back. It's dangerous. Practice more."
- She will say "Mi" instead of "Shinya". - What?!
First of all, Kiyotsuka sensei will teach us "absolute pitch".
- Is there anyone who used to learn piano in NMB? - Yes.
- There are quite a few. - Yes.
- Akari used to learn it, too. - Yes.
- What would you like me to play for you? - I don't know.
- Would you like me to play it for you? - Yes, please.
- "sos" - "shi" - Obayashi-san just said... - "shi" - "shi" - The correct answer is... - "sos" - "sos" - It's a little embarrassing to remove it even though you've entered it.
- Obayashi-san didn't listen to it at all... - I didn't say anything. - He was definitely excited and said "shi".
- Depending on your ability, you can also hear two sounds. - No way, no way.
- I don't know! - Oh, you don't have this, do you?
- Before James said a word as a professional... - There is such a thing, isn't it?
- It's not absolute warmth. - Oh, it's not?
- There is such a thing as absolute warmth. Is there anyone you want to ask about it? - Yes, Ayan.
- Don't you get too worried about your daily life and get tired? - This is definitely a common warmth.
- It's really tough. - Oh, is that so?
- You can hear everything with just one sound. - Yes.
- If it rains, you can hear the sound of hitting a wall or water. - Oh, my God.
- You can hear everything with just one sound. - Oh, my God.
- For example, with your cell phone... - Yes.
- You can hear everything with one sound. - Wow.
Is it possible to spread it to music?
If you do so, for example...
I want to use that one.
Really? I want to download it.
That one is better.
Amazing.
Here is a question about absolute pitch.
When a person with absolute pitch goes to karaoke,
they can't ask "what can't you do?"
Kojirin.
Making maracas and tambourines make noise.
I see.
It gets in the way of the song and it's no good.
I see. Saepi?
I think I'm more normal than others.
So I get into fights.
Nishimura-san, do you have anything?
I can't stand it.
When a person can't sing well, I can't help it.
That's not an absolute pitch problem.
That's a human problem.
Here is the answer.
You can't sing while changing the key of the original song.
For us, starting a song with "do" and ending it with "re" is like a song changing.
It's like fingerprint authentication.
If you have a little difference in fingerprint authentication or if you're in a different place, people will think you're a different person.
It's like that.
When "do" becomes "sharp" or "re", people will think you're singing a different song.
You can't sing.
So if you don't say anything now...
You should be able to hear "do" "re" "mi" "do" "mi" "do" "mi", right?
I heard it.
It's "fa" "so" "la" "fa" now.
I don't know it at all.
So for us, "fa" "so" "la" "fa" "la" "fa" "la" changes completely.
I don't like it.
No matter where you hear it, "do" can start with "do" of "donuts", right?
That's right.
"Fa" starts with "do".
"Fa" becomes "fa" of "faito".
The lyrics don't matter.
"Do" is "do" of "donuts", right?
It's "mi" of "donuts".
I see.
"Do" is "do" of "donuts", and "do" of "donuts" is "mi" of "donuts".
I didn't know that.
How did you think of that for 35 years?
It's hard for us to complain about it.
"Re" is "fa" of "lemon".
It's so funny.
I didn't know that.
I'm sure people who don't know Japanese will laugh at this party.
From now on, Kiyosuka sensei will play famous songs for us.
And we will learn about the geniuses of classical music.
First of all, this one.
Beethoven.
He received and raised English education.
When he turned 30 years old, he couldn't hear anymore.
He even wrote a will and tried to give up his life.
That's about it.
He didn't give up.
He lived as a composer.
As I said earlier about an absolute singer,
there was a chance for an absolute singer to make a sound in his head.
I see.
There was an absolute singer.
That's amazing.
That's where his fate came from.
His representative song was born after he couldn't hear anymore.
He had tremendous strength.
At that time, in the 1700s,
aristocrats tried to make music as background music for meals and parties.
For example, Mozart's music...
It's very cute.
It's very eye-catching for aristocrats to play while having a meal in a shiny salon.
But, for example, Beethoven's music...
I feel like I'm going to throw up.
It's sad.
It's easy to have a meal with this music.
That's true.
Do you have something to say?
Beethoven had a lot of music that included his own personality.
That's why, apart from being an aristocrat musician, he was the first person to be active as a freelancer.
That's why, in order to play his own music, he went out of his way to make money.
That's why we can say that he was the first person to come up with the system of copyrights for music.
From genius Beethoven to quizzes...
What did he write for the first time in classical music?
What did he eat for the first time in classical music?
He wrote a love song.
It wasn't like that.
As I said earlier, composing BGM for nobles was the main job of a musician.
It wasn't common for musicians to entrust their personal feelings to music.
It's amazing that you overturned it.
That's how "For Elise" was born.
You know "For Elise", don't you?
I don't think you know it a little bit.
Can I ask you a question?
Wow!
It's amazing!
For you, teacher.
It's cool.
It's amazing.
This movement is like...
This movement.
It's like taking off a sticker.
It's like...
What are you doing?
Where is your hand?
I'm sorry.
For this elite,
there is such a fact.
For this elite,
for Teresa...
Actually, the woman's name wasn't "elite" but "Teresa".
There is a novel about this,
but Beethoven didn't have beautiful handwriting,
so what he wrote looked like "elite" to him.
Actually,
Beethoven didn't publish this work officially.
He composed it for Teresa,
but Teresa was Beethoven's piano apprentice.
She was an 18-year-old girl.
Beethoven was 40 years old at the time.
He fell in love with her at first sight.
When you practice the piano,
use this song and practice.
He composed it for you only.
After Teresa died,
Beethoven found this music score that he wrote for Teresa in the ruins.
Someone released this music score in the world.
It wasn't Beethoven's intention,
but it was published by someone after his death.
As a man whose love song became his representative song,
it was like hell.
It's a shameful story, isn't it?
That's right.
Public song No. 9 is said to be Beethoven's culmination.
I don't think you're playing the same note as the person before you.
That's right.
I thought you were playing Chikubu like that.
Why?
I'm sorry.
I'll give you a soft touch and you'll give me a hard touch.
Which one of you is going to stop me?
This is called the 9th.
If you play it once, you'll have 74 minutes.
That's cool!
The part you just heard is the part that you often hear in the chorus.
That's right.
I'm sure everyone has heard of this part.
But if you play it in the chorus, it'll take you about an hour to play it.
So it's a phrase from the 9th?
That's right.
Now, here's the question.
Since the 9th song was played for 74 minutes, it's still "honyarara" for 74 minutes.
What is it?
What do you mean?
Everyone knows.
Koko-chan.
Piano lesson?
I've never heard of it.
One set for 74 minutes of practice.
Nagisa.
Some parking lot's 9th song is for 74 minutes.
Seventy?
For 74 minutes?
It's 500 yen.
The correct answer is...
CD recording time!
When Sony was developing the CD,
they used this rule to make sure each song would fit in one space.
That's how they measured the CD's capacity.
Before that, CDs didn't have records.
Because records have short capacity,
they had to turn the CD over or put another one in.
But if a song got cut off in the middle...
It would get cold.
Yes, it would get cold.
So they made sure each song would fit in one space.
There's also a book about it.
Next up is our second genius.
It's Frédéric Chopin.
He was really good at playing the piano since he was little.
As you can see from this picture,
he has a slender figure.
Yes, he does have a slender figure.
He's very light.
As a European man, he's 170cm tall and small.
His hands are very slender and small.
My hands are the same size as Chopin's actual hands.
Your hands are a little small.
I know, right?
We even have similar shapes.
Sensei! Sensei!
If you're going to praise me, I'll go this way.
Just like sports, if you don't have power, you can't be fast.
So he composed a lot of songs where you can't stop moving your fingers and eyes.
I see.
Sensei Kiyotsuka, whose hands are almost the same size as Chopin's, will play the song "Farewell".
Chopin is putting it down.
He's putting it down.
Graduation is next month.
He's good at using his fingers.
I knew it.
I knew it. He's good at using his fingers.
This farewell song also has this fact.
The farewell song is a title that Japanese people made up recently.
Is that so?
Yes.
There are many farewell songs in movies.
Since this song was used in movies, Japanese people called this song "farewell song" like nicknames.
It's not common in Japan.
It's not common in foreign countries.
I see.
The actual title is "practice song no. 3".
It's totally different.
There is such a farewell feeling.
I don't think Chopin imagined farewell.
Not at all.
I don't think so.
That's why Japanese people probably call this song "farewell song".
Even Japanese pianists play this song in a very melancholic way, trying to play it out of pity, like a farewell song.
That's why I think Chopin is in heaven, and it's not that kind of song.
And the representative song is "fantasy improvisation song".
Is this also not Chopin's masterpiece?
That's right.
After Chopin's death, he asked his friends to burn this song.
He asked them not to use it as a sacred item.
But his friends didn't keep their promise and released it without his permission.
At that time, his friends named it "fantasy improvisation song".
Why did he ask his friends to burn and throw it away?
In Chopin's mind, there was a pianist and composer who was very famous as a pianist at the time, named Moscheles.
He used a song that was very similar to that person's improvisation song.
He used almost the same melody as Beethoven's "Moonlight Trilogy".
My guess is that if Chopin had made a sample of the song and kept it, it would have become a representative song on its own.
I'd like to know how similar it is to Chopin's song.
Would you like to hear it?
Would you like me to hear it? I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
You make me play it a lot, don't you?
No, I'm sorry.
No, I'm very sorry.
I always tell my staff not to do it, but my staff doesn't want me to do it.
The original "fantasy improvisation song" is...
Oh, you know it.
It's a fast song, isn't it?
Yes, it's amazing.
And Moscheles...
It's very similar.
At the beginning of this song...
It's similar.
And Beethoven's "Moonlight Trilogy" at the end...
It's like that.
Like "ho", it's the same.
Oh, I see.
Next, they will teach us multi-technique that even beginners can play well.
If you can play the piano freely in a restaurant, you can play it a little and add brackets.
Can you do that?
Yes, I can.
There is a harmony.
Two harmonies.
Like this and like this.
You repeat these two harmonies forever.
If you do this, you can play music wherever you hit this black keyboard.
Wow, it's interesting.
You can do it with your eyes.
Here we go.
Come on, come on, come on.
Wow, it's really good.
Did you do it randomly?
Yes, I did it randomly.
Wow.
Who wants to try it?
Momone raised her hand, so let's go.
Can Momone, who has no piano experience, play it well?
Please have a seat.
Have a seat.
It's good.
Where are you looking at?
It's good, it's good.
Wow, it's amazing.
Wow, I can't do it.
I can't do it.
I really can't do it.
Wow, it's amazing.
If you want to do it, do it. If you don't want to do it, don't do it.
Wow, it's amazing.
Sensei, is it a little more difficult to play Japanese notes?
That's right. Well, first of all, I used a lot of national flags.
Next is...
I see.
Is there anyone who wants to try playing Japanese notes?
Uuka, then Japanese notes.
Yes.
Yay!
Just play sharp do mi so and re fa la Japanese notes alternately.
Please listen to Uuka and Nishimori's conversation.
If it's a national flag, I'll play anything.
I'll play "Jukuen Koushi".
Wow!
The timing of Mr. Nishimori's "osu" is very unpleasant.
It doesn't come where I want it to come.
You can increase the number of hands a little more.
Increase the number of hands.
Thank you very much.
So, if it goes well, it's really like this.
Wow!
It's amazing!
This is also a joke now, but...
It's a joke!
No way!
It's a game!
You can do it only with your bones.
It's amazing!
Finally, please take a look at the genius pianist, Mr. Kiyotsuka's super fast-forwarding technique!
So, Mozart's "Turkish Transmission Song"...
There is a song called "Turkish Transmission Song", but...
There is a jazz version of it.
A pianist named Fazil Say has made a jazz version of it.
So, I would like to change the arrangement of it and play it fast.
Excuse me!
Yes, let's go!
Wow!
It's amazing!
Wow!
What is it?
It's fast!
It's cool!
It's too fast!
It's really catchy!
I'm going to rest for a while.
I'm tired.
So, Kiyozuka-sensei,
on the 16th of next month,
you will be the first Japanese classical pianist.
Amazing!
I've arranged more than 10 pianos,
and I'm going to do a piano orchestra.
I'll also put in a band,
and I'm going to do a lot of piano charms.
Everyone, please look forward to it!
Now, we will announce the stupid child candidates who were excellent this week,
and the reward will be a penalty game.
Now, I will announce it!
This week's smart child is...
Momone!
Yay!
She was good at playing poker.
And this week's stupid child candidate is...
Nagisa!
Cocona!
Not yet!
Nagisa was able to match 500 notes in 74 minutes.
Cocona was able to write musical notes in a quiz.
It's a mysterious statement.
This week, the two of you will be playing "What is this note and what is that note?"
Now, Yamauchi-sensei will hit one key.
You will say "so" or "ra"
and the first one to get it wrong will be called "stupid child."
Okay!
This is "do," right?
Yes, it's "do."
Now, let's go. Yamauchi-kun, please hit it.
One, two...
"mi"!
Sensei, the correct answer is "so"!
Huh? "do, ra, mi"...
Is it really like that?
Both of you, first of all, you're wrong!
Let's try it again.
One, two...
"fa"!
The correct answer is...
Yes!
So, the baton goes here!
Such a beautiful plankton in such a form!
"Sea Jewelry" Plankton Special!
A young jellyfish moves in a second!
Jellyfish is thoroughly explained!
Cute!
A shining jellyfish also appears!
Cute!
