Folk song special
Tonight, we will have Nogizaka members singing a folk song that excited young people across Japan in the 1970s.
Please.
Folk song!
It felt different from the set.
No, that's not true. A live feeling.
Tonight, all songs from the program will be performed live.
This is the perfect guest for such a special episode!
Yes, tonight's guest is Minary Conseton!
please!
Tonight's guest is Minami Konset, a legend in the folk world who has been active at the forefront for over 50 years since the 1970s!
A folk song special featuring Konseton!
The first song is Konseton's representative song "Kandagawa"!
Who is going to sing for us today?
As you can see, we have a senior guest, Ms. Mukai, who is going to sing for us today.
You have a guitar, don't you?
That's right.
I'd like to tell you a little story.
That's great!
When did you start playing the guitar?
It started about seven or eight years ago.
I'm very happy about it.
I'd like to say that our generation is overwhelmingly different.
I'm very happy about being able to sing a song called "Kandagawa".
I practiced a lot under the pressure that I should never make a mistake.
That's right! Tonight, Ms. Mukai will sing a song called "Kandagawa" with Mr. Kousetsu.
I just rehearsed it, and it's really good.
Is it true?
"Kandagawa" is not a song that makes you say "yeah!"
It's a song that tells you about yourself.
It's a song that you can listen to right next to you.
That's what I felt in my heart.
Please pay attention to Ms. Mukai's singing style!
Kandagawa with South Kousetsu and Mukaihazuki.
I wonder if you've already forgotten.
We wore red hand-pulled scarf
and went to the bathhouse next door.
We said we'd go out together,
but you always kept me waiting.
Your coarse hair cooled down to your core,
and your small voice became hard.
You held my body and said,
It's cold, isn't it?
You were young.
I wasn't afraid. I was just afraid of your kindness.
I wonder if you knew.
I bought a 24-color crepuscle and drew my portrait you drew.
You said you drew it well.
But it doesn't look like you at all.
Under the window is Kandagawa.
We went on a little trip for a night.
You looked me in the eye and said you were sad.
I was young back then.
Your kindness is precious to me.
Wow, amazing live performance!
When you were singing, I looked at the members and the north side was a little shaky.
When I heard Hazuki's first line, I was moved all over my body.
I thought it was a very nice, delicate, kind voice.
And as I listened to the story unfold,
I thought it was very nice to be able to make this song.
I cried a little.
Kandagawa, a masterpiece that moves people's hearts,
is said to have been born in an unexpected way.
The deadline is approaching.
The composer is Makoto Kitajo.
If it doesn't come up today, I'll make it myself or with the members.
At the last minute, I got a phone call in the evening.
It's done! Note it down!
I didn't have an email like I do now, so I took the phone and said, "Yes, you can go in."
And I've been writing it all the time.
When I was young, I wasn't afraid of anything.
When I was writing it, the melody was singing with me.
I've never had a trance like that before.
That's amazing.
And a few minutes after I hung up the phone, the song was already complete.
I like looking at the sky, and when I look at the sky, there are clouds floating in the sky, right?
It's like a rope that holds memories together, and I can't help but say, "Oh, that's what happened."
That's pretty much it.
As you just said, "looking at the sky" or "walking,"
it's inefficient and unproductive in today's world,
but there is the most important happiness that people live in that useless place.
Thank you very much.
Next time, why don't you call Ms. Kosei and tell her the lyrics?
I hope you can do me a favor.
That's a great collaboration.
It's great.
Now, this is the next song in the folk special, which will be played live.
A female folk duo from the United States who played an active role in Japan around 1970,
Betsy and Chris's "White is the color of a lover"
They will sing by four-member couple Endo Sakura and Tsutsui Ayame.
In fact, it was Ms. Kosei who recommended that this song would be good if the Nogizaka members sang it.
That's right.
Even in folk songs, it has a very refreshing, platonic feel.
I see.
So I think it's good for Nogizaka.
The harmony of this song is a little unique and a little difficult,
and that's what I'm worried about.
Please pay attention to their harmony.
With cherry blossoms, dew and rain, white is the color of lovers.
White petals are the color of lovers.
Nostalgic white lilies are the color of lovers.
White lilies bloom at that person's, that person's footsteps.
White petals are the color of lovers.
The red sunset reflected in the eyes of that person and of that person's love.
It's like a message for someone you love in the distance.
The person who listened to this song at the time listened to our song and said, "Why don't you sing in a way that reminds you of your sweet and sour youth?"
So we sang it with that in mind.
I'm glad you two were able to convey the essence of this song just by humming this song.
After this, Sayaka Kakeashi will try playing the guitar.
Yuri Kitagawa will sing a famous song by Tulip.
Next up is a live performance by the members of Nogizaka.
Yuri Kitagawa will sing a song called "Journey of Tulip's Heart" in my accompaniment.
Yuri Kitagawa sang "Nagori Yuki" in my accompaniment.
Next, you said you wanted to play the accompaniment yourself, right?
Yes, I really want to play the accompaniment myself.
Is that so?
Accompaniment is a different difficulty from playing.
That's right.
If you don't match the band and breath, you'll stand out if you run or get late.
And basically, I play the accompaniment so that the song lives.
I'll help you.
Let's do it here.
Now, Yuri Kitagawa will sing Sayaka Kakeashi's guitar accompaniment.
Journey of Tulip's Heart
That's why I want to hold you in my arms just for tonight
Ah, tomorrow at this time of day, I'll be in the train
Did you know my heart as it set off?
If we were to be far apart, love would come to an end
If I could be forgiven, I'd like to put you in my pocket when you fall asleep
And take you away with me
Ah, that's why I want to hold you in my arms just for tonight
Ah, tomorrow at this time of day, I'll be in the train
No matter when and wherever, I will never forget you
Love has an end and a journey of the heart begins
Ah, so only for tonight, I want to hold you
Ah, tomorrow at this time of day, I'll be in the train
Ah, so only for tonight, I want to hold you
Ah, tomorrow at this time of day, I'll be in the train
Thank you very much.
Yuri-chan told me that we should do something together.
I see.
She told me not to do anything and asked me to sing.
That's how it started.
Yes.
I was able to get into the world of songs.
So, I sang a lot and it was fun.
Walk song special.
Next is the last song.
John Denver's "Take Me Home, Country Roads" was greatly influenced by Kosei.
It is a great song that spread the beauty of walk song all over the world.
Kosei-san also recommended this song.
Yes.
It has a good tempo and it's a song you can sing with everyone.
Yes.
And it's good to go back to your hometown.
Yes.
After this, a special version with English and Japanese will be sung by Kosei and Rei.
Let's listen.
Kosei and Rei will sing.
"Take Me Home, Country Roads" by John Denver.
Let's go back in time.
I feel like if I keep going, I'll end up in that city.
Country roads
Almost heaven, West Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountain, Shenandoah River
Life is old there, older than the trees
Younger than the mountains, growing like a breeze
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads
All my memories, gather 'round her
My nurse lady, stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine, tear drops in my eye
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads
I hear her voice in the morning as she calls me
The radio reminds me of my home far away
Driving down the road like a feeling that I should have been home yesterday
Yesterday, country roads
Tomorrow will be me as always
I want to go home, but I can't go home
Goodbye, country roads
Thank you very much!
I feel like I've achieved something.
It was fun.
It was fun, wasn't it?
Yes.
When everyone in Nogizaka applauded and cheered for me, I looked around and everyone was smiling.
I'm glad I came!
I'm glad you came!
I'm really glad I came.
Actually, when I was in the first year of middle school, I sang this song at a gashacon club.
What?!
Come here, come here.
Mic, mic, come here.
Country roads
Take me home
To the place
To the place where we used to walk together
Anyway, today's special guest was Kousei Shiminami. Thank you very much!

Next week's "Nobita Caster" is born with...
Sachiko Kobayashi is here.

Don't make me a human!
Shingo Fujimori's "Bringing It In" Project!
Kousei Shiminami and Shingo Fujimori's "Bringing It In" Project!

That's right. I wanted that.
