先日の新潟朱鷺メッセ公演時のケータリングのご飯は

もちろん新潟産コシヒカリでした!!

おかず用のお皿があるにも関わらず、

どんぶりスタイルでご飯をかきこんでいる方をたくさん目撃しました。笑

お米が美味しいとついついそうしたくなりますよね♪

この方も↓↓

ビッグハット公演1日目、無事に終了しました!!

新潟同様、4年ぶりの公演となったわけですが

4年分の皆さんの熱い想い、ビシビシ伝わってきましたよ!!!

2日目もこの勢いで、いやそれ以上に盛り上がっていきましょー☆☆☆

終演後、あゆ座長とAスタッフみんなでお蕎麦屋さんに行って来ました♪

こちらのお店を訪れるのも4年ぶりだったのですが

とにかくお蕎麦が絶品なのと、とある理由があってとても楽しみにしていました。

その『理由』とは、、、、

(※心臓の弱い方、グロいのが苦手な方は一気に下にスクロールして下さい。)

でんっ!!

東京ではなかなか口にする機会のないイナゴの佃煮に


あゆ座長もスタッフも大パニック!!

元々、虫が苦手なラッシャーさん(ヘア担当)も口の周りにイナゴの足を付けてこの通り↓↓

完全に放心状態です。笑

味は昔ながらの佃煮といった感じでとても美味しいのですが

見た目でビックリしてしまう人が多いみたいです。

皆さんも機会があれば是非一度試して見て下さい!(おもしろ美味しいです。)

そしてお蕎麦屋さんのしめといえば、、、

「蕎麦湯」です!

みんなほっこりあったかい気持ちで飲んでいました♪

ん??

何やら不穏な空気が、、、、、。

ひぇーっ!!!!!

コメこと、トサカこと、ウッドストックこと、(←あだ名多い!)

米田さん(ディレクター)がなんとも不敵な笑みを浮かべて

どうも~!ダンサーの、すばるで~す。

ピンクの頭です。はい。

さてさて、長野。熱気すごいね!いやいや、びっくりしました。

2006年以来だったからね。お久しぶりでございました。

長野の皆様、いかがでしたでしょうか?楽しんでいただけましたか?

アンコールのMCコーナーは、昨年に引き続き、温かい目で見守って頂ければと思っております。

そうそう。今日の長野2日目のアンコールでの出来事。

長野弁講座の中で、「わにる」を「はずかしがる」って正確にしちゃっていたんですが、

終演後に友人から「人見知りする」コトだよ~。とご指摘をいただきまして。

間違えちゃってましたね。いやはや、失礼いたしました~!

もう一方の「ずく」は「めんどくさい」で合ってたようです。良かった...

今日のMCで発覚した、「ずくなし」キャラ(めんどくさがり)のカズマ。昨日の夕飯は彼と二人で食べました。

なんともレトロな雰囲気の焼き物屋さんで、七輪でいろんなモノを炙るのがウリのお店でした。

はい。カズマ。

ImageHost.org

ね!チャラいですね...いやいや、イケメンでございます!

そしてわたくし。

ImageHost.org

う~ん。レトロな雰囲気にレトロな顔が...

「昭和顔」ってよく言われます。

そんなこんなで、二人で食べたんだけど、俺とカズマの関係は、実はずいぶんと昔からなんです。

10年以上前かな。アイツが中学生ダンサーだった頃から知ってます。

昔はなんでも素直に「ハイ!」って言うこと聞く後輩でしたが、

気が付いたら同僚に。最近じゃ、たまにタメ口きいたりしやがります。

まあまあ、俺も先輩として長いコト彼を見ていて、

同じ舞台に上がるようになるくらい成長してくれたコトは嬉しい限りで、

これからも愛のある厳しさで、彼と接して行こうと思います。

ま、愛のムチですから。カズマ君、何があっても、ありがたく頂戴しときなさい。

一応、彼の名誉の為にちょっとだけ補足をすると、

一見「ずくなし」に見えるだけで、リハーサルは真面目に取り組んでおります。

リハーサル真面目にやらないなんてコトを俺の前でやった日にゃ...ね。わかってると思います。

さてさて、そんな感じで長野も盛り上がって、

寂しいけど、東京に帰っております。

やっぱりどこに行っても、

帰り道は寂しいです。「もうちょい居たいなぁ...」っていつも思ってしまいます。

そんな感じで食べる釜飯。

ImageHost.org

とっても趣深いお味でございました。

さ。次は福岡!

旅はまだまだ続きます。

行く先々で生まれるドラマ。出会い、別れ。

俺らは「またここに来たい!」と思ってもらえるようなパフォーマンスをして、

「またここに来たい!」と思わせてくれる笑顔を、皆様からいただいています。

最高の時間をお届けに、

次はあなたの街に、お邪魔しま~す!

Aダンサー すばる

An early afternoon, with warm koshihikari*1. (laugh)


Label: Of course, Koshihikari rice



Everyone, konnichiwa ★

Did you have a great Golden Week?

Our troupe is in the midst of preparations for the upcoming shows at Nagano tomorrow and the day after!!




Alright alright, back to the topic on hand...

During the shows held at Niigata Toki Messe, the rice provided by the catering service was, of course, koshihikari made in Niigata!!

Even though plates were available for side dishes, many people still placed their side dishes into their main bowls, donburi-style*2. (laugh)

And everyone kept going on about how delicious the rice was ♪

Even them ↓↓



Peco-san, who seems to be thinking "That looks soooo good", and CHISA-san, who is in danger of getting herself a bowl everytime she ventures near the catering corner. (laugh)


Even him, one of the popular guys in the troupe ↓↓



"The mushroom soup is tasty too--!!" by Yocchan



To everyone at Niigata,

For the delicious rice and loud cheers, thank you very much!!!!

Nagano ★
4 May 2010. 12:17am


The first show at Big Hat has ended safely!!

Same as Niigata, it's been a long 4 years since we've been here.

So, we received wave after wave of 4 years worth of warm feelings from everyone!!!

Let's head towards the 2nd show with the same, no, more, intensity than today-- ☆☆☆




After the show, troupe leader ayu and her staff all went to a soba restaurant ♪

It's also been 4 years since we've visited this place.

But because the soba there is really top-notch, and for another reason, we were really eager to go there.

That other reason is...
(*For those with weak hearts, or those who aren't good at looking at disgusting things, please scroll right to the end without stopping)


Tada!!



Tadada!!



Locusts!!!

↑↑ Because Doumo-kun (assistant hair stylist) had a really pained look in his eyes, I had to edit the photo. (sweatdrop)


Locust-tsukudani*1, which you can't really find in Tokyo, put troup leader ayu and her staff into a big panic!!

Rassha-san (chief hair stylist) who used to be so afraid of bugs, could be seen with locust legs sticking to the sides of his mouth ↓↓



He was totally relaxed. (laugh)


The taste of it is really delicious, because of the old-fashioned method of tsukudani cooking,

But there are still a fair amount of people today who are shocked at seeing it as food.

Everyone, if you get the chance to, you have to try it at least once! (It's both interesting and delicious)



Then, the specialty of the restaurant is...

[B]"Soba soup"![/B]

Everyone drank it with warm and fluffy feelings ♪



Hmm??

Something strange seems to be happening......




Ehh--!!!!!



Kome aka Tosaka aka Woodstock, (←he has many nicknames!)

Komeda-san (director) is pouring soba soup for our troupe leader ayu with a sly smirk on his face!!!

It's so freaky~~!! Run! Leader~~~~~!!!! (laugh)


Everyone, be careful of Komeda-san and his soba soup. (laugh)

[Article] 31-Year-Old Japanese Woman On Top Of The Charts

In Japan they call her "Empress of pop".
Her latest release is now on top of the world's best-selling charts, the album "Rock'n'Roll Circus"



Ayumi Hamasaki has sold over 50 millions records - Photo: MN Chan / Getty Images.

More under the cut!

She was born 1978 in Fukuoka city. At age 14 she moved to Tokyo to pursue her dream of a career in show business. In 1998, she managed to debut with the single "Poker Face." Since that time, Ayumi is constantly on top of the charts, and has sold as far as 50 million CDs!

Hamasaki is popular not only in Japan but also in China, Singapore and Taiwan.

Each of her 11 albums landed at the first place of the Japanese best-seller list. The latest best-seller, "Rock'n'Roll Circus," is promoted with the single "Sunrise". See the video for this song:





On the second place, the 16-year-old Canadian Justin Bieber with the album "My Worlds", which includes EP "My World" and the LP "My World 2.0." The young singer quickly made his idol status, now you can even talk about that the frenzy is over - here's proof.

3rd re-occupied the position of Lady GaGa's debut album "The Fame", released in 2008 yet. Just behind the eccentric singer we have two new products - the American duo MGMT from the album "Congratulations".

6th this place this week and publishing Usher "Raymond v. Raymond", and the 7th Slash position was the first solo album in his work, titled simply "Slash".

"Numbers of Slash's solo debut, listen with a smile on his face, but a wide banana came to me really only two songs. The rest of the composition is housed in the foreseeable medium, although a juicy solo bow - we wrote in our review.

Because I only did one show, it feels really sad to part, but I'll be heading back to Tokyo after this.

Everyone from Niigata, whom I've not met for 4 years, flooded me with their super powerful love, and so so many of them waiting for me~ I felt it all with my entire being (T^T)

My entire troupe kept me going on stage all the way till the very end too--!!

Did you all have fun? I'll definitely come to see you all again~ ☆

And and so, please do check for updates at the Rock'n'Roll blog too--

Mama is still communicating via writing by hand and typing by computer, so she still can't talk to us... (cry)

When the 3 days at Osaka ended, she didn't speak all-- the way till the performance at Niigata. And when that was done, she still didn't speak all-- the way till now...

Seems like she'll continue like this through the rehearsals at Nagano.

But we've gotten used to it recently, so I just play with my big brother and sister instead--

Atatatatatatatata!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!*1

ImageHost.org

Yep.

We pretend to be pro-wrestlers everyday.

Big sister Cocoa joins in sometimes too, she's really strong--

But today, she's sleeping like a manju*2 ↓

Big brother Choco...

Came when I called!!!!!!!!!

Big brother Choco~~~~~~~~~~~!!!

...

"Good evening, this is Choco. Thank you for always bearing with my younger brothers"

...

Big brother Choco--, that was such a boring greeting.

It made me fall asleep...

Oh yeah-- Recently, it's been slowly getting warmer, right???

Big brother Papiko and I have also finally changed into our spring clothes----- ♪

Look---- ♪

ImageHost.org

Ehehe-- ☆

It's a raglan Tee.

Big brother has a set too.

ImageHost.org

Recently, we've been wearing these on our walks-- ♪

But because our heads are a little too big and the shirt can't come on, Mama had to cut the collar a little with her scissors. (laugh)

Ah...

The sleep demon...

My eyes, are getting heavier?????

ImageHost.org

I can't hold on--------- I feel so sleepy------...

ImageHost.org

*Fall* ZZZzzz.....

For the previous show at Niigata, and the show at Nagano this time, Mama has thought of using public transportation because of Golden Week, but she was also so lost and confused, so she went by car in the end.

And, since she can't say anything, she can't hold conversations too...

That's why she wasn't able to meet with everyone who came to send her off and everyone who came to welcome her. It's such a pity!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But but, to make up for it, she promises that the 2 days at Nagano will surely been the best shows ever.

I'm here in Tokyo guarding the house, but big brother and big sister are with Mama, so please give them all your suppoer--!!!!!!!

Everyone, look forward to it with your whole heart-- ☆

[Twitter] Ayu's Twitter Updated: 02.05.2010 Talking About MOON

Ayu tweeted such long messages about the song "MOON", it seems that it's really a special song for her :)

"A Songという、この曲をこえるものに出会う事はこの先二度とないだろうと思いながら歌っていたほど、私自 身にとってモンスターのようなあの曲を創ってしまった星野さんの、あれからの10年。。。そして今回まさが 、「この曲聴いてみて」と突然渡してくれた、MOONのデモ。"

How can I translate it... ahaha I can't think of the english for it, but it's like well, she thought that there would never be a song that could overtake the monster like feeling of A Song for XX song, and while singing that song, she thought there would never be a song like it, and the person who created such a song was Hoshino-san. And ten years from that, Max told her that she had to listen to this song, and it was the demo for Moon.

"あえてなのかは知らないが、星野さんの作曲だという言葉は添えられていなかった。けれど、私は聴 いた瞬間 なにかとても懐かしい、昔の浜崎あゆみを感じ、まさに即答した。「この曲、絶対歌いたい。」あ んなにも惹か れた理由は、今となっては言わずもがな。である。"

If it was by some pressure she didn't know, but anyways the demo didn't have any words like "created by Hoshino." But, in the moment she listened to it, she got very nostalgic, and she could feel the old Hamasaki Ayumi, and she answered Max. "I want to sing this, definitely." The reason why she was so drawn in, there's no need to say that now.

"私達はまた手をとりあい、確実に歩き出したのだ。ぎこちなくも、しっかりと前を向いて。ここで指 す私達が 誰であるかは、読み手の方に委ねよう。やばい、真面目な事を書いてしまった。今日はこれでおわ り。長野に着 いたよ。"

We are still holding each other's hands, and certainly we started walking. Of course even if we are clumbsy, we are moving forward. I'll entrust the question "Who is it that chose us at this point?" to the reader. Ah! I wrote something so serious! Today, I'll end it here. I arrived in Nagoya.

Obviously, MOON means so much to her, so I hope it will be great for everyone too.

[Blog] Max Matsuura's Blog Entry About MOON

2010-05-03 01:05:03
「moon」 が出来るまで・・・・


その昔、まだ僕が24歳位の頃、自分の貸しレコード店で働く、


同じ歳のアルバイトの奴が、「付き合いのある、スタジオが、閉店したんで、


機材を譲り受けたから、何か社長の好きな曲を作りますよ!」と言うんで、


僕は、自分の好きなダンスミュージックを何十曲と渡し、特に期待もせずに、というか、


ほぼ、そんな事は、日々の忙しさに忙殺され、忘れてしまっていた。


ある日、彼が僕に曲が出来たとカセットテープをくれた。


店が閉店し、帰る車の中でそのテープを聞き、


まだ、僕の求めるものとは、ほど遠いけど、何か感じるものがあった。


それからは何度か彼の家に行き、あーでもない、こーでもないと、


ひたすら、僕の望む音に仕上げて行く日々を送った。


そして、彼は貸しレコードのアルバイトから、まだ、出来たばかりのエイベックスの社員となった 。


当時の流行りのユーロビートを完璧なまでに、日本で再現するため、


エイベックスはまだレコード会社でもないのに、町田に小さなスタジオを作った。


友達の内装屋に頼み、防音の仕方もわからない僕らは、


それでも、自力で、どうにかスタジオを作ってしまった。


そして、すぐに、avex traxがスタートした。


HI-BPM STUDIOと名付けられた手作りのスタジオはさしづめ、ぼくのおもちゃに近いものだった。


僕がスタジオに一番時間をさいたのは、その頃かもしれない。


徹底的にEUROBEATをマスターするため、キックの音ひとつ作るのにいったい何ヶ月かけたかわからない 。


そして、ついに僕らは本場のイタリアはミラノに旅だち、


その彼はEUROBEATの巨匠、デイヴロジャースのスタジオで約一ヶ月間アシスタントを勤め 帰国した。


彼のEUROBEATの作品で、スーパーユーロビートに収録されている曲は、何曲もある。


当時、僕らは日本人とはわからないように楽曲を制作していた。


そして、世の中は、テクノハウスの時代へと進み、世はバブル。


ジュリアナTOKYOが絶世を風靡していた。


すかさず、彼はテクノハウスの制作に入る。


代表曲は、誰でもが知っているあの曲だ。Can't Undo This!!



そう、記憶にあたらしいところでは、DJ OZMAがカバーしたあの


I RAVE U feat. DJ OZMA の元曲である。


その後も彼はスターゲイザー、マキシマイザーの名義でジュリアナでのヒット曲を作りまくった。


時、同じく、小室哲哉氏がテクノハウスに興味をもちtrfをデビューさせる。


デビュー曲の「GOING TO DANCE」のリミックスは彼であり、


のちのちリミックスのほうがメインのアレンジと変わって行く。


「GOING TO DANCE」である。


今でもライブの場合は彼のアレンジが採用される。


それから、数年。僕は、彼にひとつのミッションを出す。


デビュー前の浜崎あゆみのレコーディングレッスンとデビュー作品の制作である。


約一年をかけ、その後、浜崎あゆみはデビューする。


「porker face」それは、彼の作曲である。


そして、名曲「A SONG FOR・・・」を彼は生みだした。


以降、浜崎あゆみに数曲、MAXの代表曲「Give me a Shake」も彼の曲だ。


しかし、彼はその後、10年近いスランプに落ち入る。


どれだけ、辛かっただろう。


僕も、忙しく、中々、手をさしのべてあげることができなかった。


現在、小室氏の右腕的存在で、且つガルネクのキーボード、作曲家の鈴木大輔が、


彼の曲ですごく良い曲があると、デモを受け取り、ピンときた。


完全復活、


もしくは、時代が巡ったのかもしれない。


彼が変わったのか、時代が一周したのかはまだわからない。


彼の名を星野靖彦 (←twitter account )という。


浜崎あゆみの次作「moon」の作曲家である。


是非、この曲を聞いて欲しい。



Translation under the cut!

2010-05-03 01:05:03
Until「moon」was made...


In the past, when I was still about 24, I was working at my own Record Rental shop,

And someone who was the same age as me, a part-timer, said "My friend's studio has closed, so I got all the equipment, so I will make any song the manager wants!!"

I handed over quite a few of the dance songs that I loved, without expecting much of anything, or should I say, roughly that I forgot all about it with the crushing business of the everyday life.

One day, he gave me a casette tape with the songs that he made.

I closed the shop, and on the way home, I listened to the tape,

Well, the thing I was looking for was still far, but I could feel something.

After that, I went to his house many times, "Not that, not this"

And set on it, I lived out the days where I was finishing the music that I was wishing for.

And after that, from the part-time job, he went to become an employee of Avex, a company that had just been created.

At the time, until the time it was made perfect, eurobeat was a crazy fad, and in order to revive the scene in Japan, even though Avex wasn't a record company at that time, they made a small studio in Machida.

They asked an interior designer friend to help with that aspect, and we, who didn't know a thing about sound proofing, with our own power, made a studio.

And, immediately, avex trax was started.

The studio that was like a hand made thing, named HI BPM Studio, and after all, it looked like something close to a toy I had.

The time I was in the studio the most was probably that time.

So that we could have a flawless EUROBEAT master, just making a kick sound took so many months that I can't even recall.

And then, finally went to the real place of Milano, Italy,

And that guy worked at the studio of a EUROBEAT maestro, Divo Rogers, for about one month, and they came home to Japan.

His eurobeat compositions, they've been compilated in Super Eurobeat countless times.

That time, we made music that people couldn't tell was Japanese.

And then, the world moved towards the era of Techno, and the world was a bubble.

Juliana Tokyo was an overwhelming and unequaled monster.

And he, without hesitation, entered into the work of Techno.

And the representative song was, a song that everyone knows, "Can't undo this!!"

Yes, at a new point in my memory, it was the original song that DJ OZMA covered in I RAVE U.

After that, he used the names of Stargaze and Maximizer, and created hits for Juliana.

At the time, the same way, Komuro started to have an interest in Techno House, and he debuted TRF.

The one who remixed the debut song "GOING TO DANCE" was him,

Afterwards, it would be the remixing side of work that would change and become the main arrangement of GOING TO DANCE.

Even now in lives, it's his arrangement that they use.

And after that, it was countless years. I gave him one mission.

That mission was to give the yet-debuted Hamasaki Ayumi recording lessons, and to create her debut single.

It took about a year, and after that, Hamasaki Ayumi debuted.

Porker Face (LOL) is his creation.

And after that, he would create the title song "A Song for ××"

After that, he would create numerous songs for Hamasaki Ayui, MAX's representative song "Give me a shake," and others. They were his songs.

But, after that, he spent nearly 10 years fallen in a slump.

How painful that must have been...

Even I was so busy, and I couldn't give him a hand.

And now, Daisuke Suzuki, a person like Komuro's right arm, and Garnet Crow's Keyboard, told me that there was a great song made by him, and gave me a demo of it, and I knew immediately.

It was a complete rebirth.

Or, it might be that the era has turned.

If it was he who changed, or if it was the era that just made a full circle, I don't know.

His name is Hoshino Yasuhiko.

And he is the composer of Hamasaki Ayumi's new work, "MOON."
Please, I want you to hear this song.
