【Burned in madder color】Released in 2021

[Burned in red] Released in 2021

I choose movies as a movie director, and the only person who is conscious of the producer is Jerry Bruckheimer of “Top Gun” (laughs). Even so, recently, Mitsunobu Kawamura, a person who was conscious of the producer for the first time, who was listed as a producer in common with the movies he watched and the movies he watched, passed away.

I think that he was the one who entrusted the completion of the movie by selecting a director who can plan and shape it properly, but the movies introduced are also “The Notebook to Read”, “Wrestler”, “I can’t breathe” etc. It was really good.

For the past 10 years, I have been devoted to Japanese movies, and recently I think that many people have been moved by watching “The Journalist” starring Tori Matsuzaka.

Today I would like to introduce “Akane-colored Burn” released last year.

Mother-in-law Yoshiko (Machiko Ono), a mother and child who lost her husband in an unreasonable traffic accident seven years ago, does not receive compensation from the perpetrator and takes care of her father-in-law while working at the flower department of the supermarket and night customs I managed to live with my junior high school son Junpei (Wadaan).

Her mother behaved patiently without showing her anger and sadness in her chest to her son, who cares for her mother despite being humiliated by her son. I am living.

Machiko Ono performed well with Ryoko screaming what the socially vulnerable were.

What she did not let go of her parents and children who struggled desperately to get out of the vulnerable.

The theme of the movie is hotter than the title, it’s clean and intense, but it makes me feel kind after watching it.

Masatoshi Nagase and Yuki Katayama set aside.

This time I may get angry, but I will attach a trailer.https://youtu.be/OBDnn1qgyzU

【Metal Lords】2022Netflix　Work

High school hunters (AdrianGreensmith) and Kevin (Jaeden Lieberher) who like heavy metal seek a bassist to form a band and enter the contest, but they have few friends and no one around them wants to play metal music. Every day I couldn’t find a student and practiced by playing the guitar and drums alone. Kevin on drums invites her companion to learn that the weirdo Emily (Isis Hainworth), who is taking tranquilizers to control her anger due to stress, can play the cello. She decided to add a cello instead of a bass and aim to win as a three-piece band. The addition of Emily cracks the friendship between Hunter and Kevin, and the band goes in the wrong direction. The director Peter Sollet of “Hands of Love” is fiercely harmonizing with the two men who are humorously trying to become a metal road and Emily, a cut character, until the promised last concert. It will charm you nicely. Heavy metal youth told like a parable in modern America. A little public about having lived without being interested in heavy metal.

[At that time. ] Published in 2021 Speaking of otaku, I think of Hachiro Taku, but when I search for it, it’s a name that refers to enthusiasts, but I think that it will change slightly depending on whether you are an otaku or an enthusiast. The stage is the story of adults who are crazy about Hello! Project idols in Osaka in 2004. I wasn’t so interested in Morning Musume and Aya Matsuura that I didn’t even know the word Hello! Project, but I enjoyed watching it. Makoto (Matsuzaka Tori), who has failed to take the university entrance exam and has no girlfriend, is a dull young man who lives without a hitch while eating instant food every day. One day, when I saw Aya Matsuura’s music video that I got from a friend, I became absorbed in the idol of Hello! We will form a “love club” with them and work hard to raise awareness of idols at talk events and other events. Still, time goes by, and when you leave one person, you gradually become separated from another person. Even so, when Cosmin got sick, my friends reunited and my nostalgic days came back. Takashi Yamanaka who plays otaku, Tateto Serizawa, Oga Nakano and others weave otaku patterns, and the enthusiasm of acting that even I, who is not interested in Hello! An idiot movie that can be said to be a ridiculous and honorable mention. When I finished watching it, it was salty at that time.

[The Last Picture Show] Released in 1971 The other day, director Peter Bogdanovich passed away. “Paper Moon” was good, but I can’t forget this “Last Show”. It’s unclear which one I saw first, but it’s a masterpiece as an oldies fashion movie along with 60’s “American Graffiti”, but for some reason it’s a closed Texas inland area rather than the glamorous youth of Califulnia. I was attracted to the style of young people and watched it. Even though it was black and white, the checkered shirt, Hawaiian shirt, G Jean, and high rise pants of Civil Shaper had a navel look, which left a brilliant impression on me as a high school student. .. (Not real time) I became interested in the 50’s style and tried on the shirts and trousers I wore when my father was young, and when I saw the clothes of my older sisters JUN and VAN, I became resentful. is. The story is about high school students such as Sony (Timothy Potoms) who are young in the remote countryside of Texas where entertainment facilities are only movie theaters and pool halls, and Sam (Lion Sam), the owner of the facility, which is trusted by all the townspeople. Ben Johnson) is the center of the story of the town becoming lonely. This movie gives a glimpse of the disparity society before the Korean War and before the Vietnam War in Amegra, but I wonder if there is a similar town in the modern United States where the disparity is serious and the crisis in Ukraine and Taiwan is approaching. I will.

As an aside, Tom Ford is from Texas, isn’t he?

Asakusa Kid] Now available on Netflix from 202112/9

Isn’t there one person who can be said to be a master?

This movie vividly depicts the young days spent by the comedy mogul Beat Takeshi with Senzaburo Fukami, the only entertainer on the stage in Asakusa.

The French theater in Asakusa, which sells elegant strips centered on dance and laughter conte between the intermissions.

The center of laughter in the 70’s is Takeshi (Yuya Yagira), an elevator boy who longs for Fukami (Yo Oizumi) who plays a sharp conte in the theater alone while moving to TV such as Conte55 and Drifters.

With the rise of television, the number of customers in the management of the French theater is declining and leaning as if it is inversely proportional to Takeshi, who has successfully become a disciple and mastered tap dancing.

I picked up this movie because I want to watch such a movie that makes me laugh and cry on New Year’s Day, but I can’t watch this movie at the cinema. I think we have entered a new era where we can’t watch movies even though they are movies, but it seems that Japanese movie companies have been reluctant to do so because the planning, script, and director are the only theater companies.

The reason why Japanese movies are not good is that we cannot sponsor such a masterpiece.

I have no connection with Netflix, but it costs 990 yen a month, and it’s good enough to watch this movie and cancel it.

We hope you all have a good year.

[Last night in Soho] Released in 2021 The last time was a dora picture, so this time I will introduce a pretty cool movie. Eloise (Thomas Mackenzie), who lives with her grandmother in her countryside, enrolls in a design school in Soho, London to become a fashion designer. Seen as a redneck and curious, Ayrose is unfamiliar with dormitory life, and an old woman begins living alone in the attic of an old landlord’s apartment. Inspired, Ayrose travels back in time to Soho in the late 1960s in her dream on her first day to meet Sandy (Anya Tiller-Joy), who dreams of being a singer. Eloise, who longs for London in the 1960s, sympathizes with Sundi chasing his dreams, and while he goes out to Soho in the 1960s many times in his dreams, he becomes physically and mentally synchronized with Sandy. , Reality and dreams will be mixed ,. The footage directed by Edgar Wright, a genius who pays homage to 60’s UK movies and music, is retro and stylish, and dramatically develops with UK 60’s sounds such as Cilla Black and The Who, making it an unbearable movie for retro lovers. It has become. If you want to see it but you are scared and haven’t seen it, please think that you have been deceived and watch it. I promise that you can leave the movie theater comfortably.

In January, I was very shocked by the news that came out of the blue. The reason why I was so shocked is because I had seen her live on stage and felt selfishly close to her.

 It was a mini live performance at the 2018 Jiyugaoka Goddess Festival. After the shop closed, I put my closing duties on the back burner and headed straight for the venue. The square in front of Jiyugaoka station was filled with people, people, people. I never thought I would be able to see the great singer Aki Yashiro with my own eyes… and quite close to her.

 She performed several songs and the one that left the biggest impression on me was “Funauta” (1979).

 His unique husky voice, it was wonderful. I thought I was brazen enough to take a video, but… I didn’t press the start button, so I didn’t get a shot. But it was firmly etched in my mind’s eye and I will never forget it. Thank you very much.

“Une belle histoire” This song is the original song of the 1978 hit song “Mr. Summertime” by the Japanese chorus group Circus.

This song was released in 1972 by France’s Michel Fugan and Big Bazaar, and its Japanese title is “History of Love.” I’m more familiar with the circus cover, but I love both. It’s irresistible for chorus lovers.

The cover of Circus is a very sad song about a man who has an affair with someone he met while traveling, betrays his loved one, regrets it, and ends up leaving both of them, but the original song is about an adventure with someone he met while traveling. It’s like singing about beautiful memories.

As expected.

Great works get covered and evolve more and more with the personality of the person covering them. Some of them I like better than the originals, others are a bit unforgivable… lol.

‘The World Needs Love’.

A classic song by the famous duo of Hal David and Burt Bacharach, who created many great songs, and is sung by many artists around the world.

I had a hard time deciding whose version of this song I loved.

There are only a few days left of the year 2023. Looking back, it was very impressive that some of the biggest names in music left for heaven this year. I was worried about what to do with so many memorials in this music column, but I respectfully introduce some of my favourite songs.

The year 2023 ends with the Christmas hymn ‘The first noel’ by Tony Bennett, an entertainer who had a long and successful career from the 1950s until his death in July this year. In Japanese, it is called ‘Makibito Hitsuji wo’.

Tony’s elegant voice, the beautiful chorus and the orchestra’s performance with Placido Domingo, one of the world’s three greatest tenors, were gorgeous and appropriate for the end of the year.

It’s cold outside, but it gives you a warm feeling…

Thank you for your continued support for this year’s music column.

I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas and a wonderful New Year.

We look forward to working with you again next year.

We are so used to the long, warm sunny days that the sudden cold snap brings us back to ourselves, and it’s already the end of November.

When the wind gets cold, I feel like getting sentimental, even though nothing in particular has happened to me. This is a melancholy song that suits winter.

T’en Va Pas.

This song, which means ‘Don’t go’ in French, was the theme song of the film Violins of Sorrow (1986) and was a hit sung by then 13-year-old Elsa Langhini, who appeared in the film. The Japanese title is ‘Adagio of Sadness’.

I heard it played in a TV commercial song a long time ago and it touched my maidenly heart. Decades later, listening to it now, I feel like a maiden again… oh, I’m sorry.

The music video makes you want to wear a black turtleneck because Elsa and her voice are so cute and she still looks so young.

In Japan, the cover song sung by Tomoyo Harada with lyrics by Taeko Onuki is famous, but when I looked it up, I found that many other people have covered it too!

Autumn is the season for melancholy songs to sink in even more than usual.

I want to take the trouble to listen to them and immerse myself in a melancholy mood.

As a lover of melancholy, I have my eye on the sad songs sung by this person.

Brazilian songstress Astrud Gilberto passed away in June this year. There are many bright songs, but her lonely songs are excellent.

She was a leading bossa nova singer who sang bossa nova with English lyrics and spread it around the world, and also sang many cover songs that we all know, such as jazz, popular songs and sometimes rock.

‘Touching you’ (1972).

The melancholy performance and the voice match each other, and the song makes you think about many things. The original bad-ass and terrible!

We’ve introduced recommended songs in this music column in the past, so please go back and listen to them.
