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.

[The Residents] Released in 2020 With the advent of Netflix, which allows you to watch movies from old movies to the latest movies, I feel that your needs have changed considerably. I used to go to TUTAYA and watch about 15 books a month, but now I can watch more than 25 books on NETFLIEX. (As expected, my sleep time has decreased.) What happens is that I prefer to choose movies that are light and enjoyable, rather than watching masterpieces in succession. It is aimed at so-called smash hits. In other words, it’s not the first grade, but it’s not the second grade, dare to say 1.5 grade. With the spread of online cinema, the number of good and bad has increased. In terms of sense, it’s a drama-like touch, but it feels like it ends in one episode. ☆ is 3, but it is as close to ☆ 4 as possible. A movie that can be said to be better than the Suspense Theater on Tuesday, I call it [Dora-ga] because it is a drama-like movie. The introduction has become long, but today I would like to introduce such a dora picture. Javier (Javier Gutierrez), who has been a director of an advertising company and has been a talented CM director for many years, has lost his job and is looking for a job. Instead, let go of the enviable luxury condominium and move to downtown with your wife and son. He will never forget the life of the mansion, and every time he visits the mansion day and night, he will observe new residents. Javier approaches the new resident while hiding the fact that he is the original resident. From here, a terrifying plot like Javier’s life recapture drama, which adds “the sun is full” and “parasite”, unfolds.

[The King] Released in 2019 I’m sorry that the historical drama continues. Still, the lead is Timothée Chalamet, who wants the name of a beautiful man. I think that even women who are not good at historical drama can watch it with their eyes shining. The stage is England in the 15th century. Peace-loving Prince of Wales (Timothy Chalamet) rebelled against his father while his warlike Henry IV was at war with Scotland and France, and his friend, the old knight Falstaff (Joel Edgerton). ) And live freely in the bar. However, such a life could not be continued due to the deterioration of Henry IV’s physical condition, and Hull was unexpectedly reigned as Henry V. Haru steers to war while the vassals who do not like anti-war are swirling. Invite his only trusted friend, Falstaff, to his vassals and commit himself to the war with France. It depicts Hull growing up to become the king for the true people, centered on the relationship between Falstaff and Hull, who teach the truth of things. I like Joel Edgerton, who plays Falstaff. It’s a role like Sean Connery’s untachable, and it’s a dark touch throughout, but it adds warmth. It is also a topic that Robert Pattinson, Rose Depp, and Thomas Mackenzie are holding their armpits. Even so, Timothée Chalamet is a big star since Ryan Gosling, and her old man is also mellow.

[Sword of Destiny] Released in 2016 I think many of you have seen it as a sequel to the masterpiece “Green Destiny” released in 2001. The battle for Moubay’s green sword (Green Destiny), which was protected in the first work, is depicted again. The story begins when Shurin (Michelle Yeoh), who has withdrawn from Takebayashi and retired, is attacked by a mysterious group on the way to the funeral of the owner of the Tie family, who has entrusted Green Destiny. In order to protect the sword from Haydes (Jason Scott Lee) who wants to get the blue sword and stand at the top of Takebayashi, Shurin recruits a righteous man as a bouncer. Shurin’s daughter-in-law Men Sujo (Donnie Yen), who should have died with the four swordsmen who gathered there, will also join. Friends gradually collapse in the fight against the Haydes gang that attacks one after another. It goes without saying that Michelle Yeoh will continue to play the lead role of Shurin from the previous work, but Donnie Yen, who will play the role of Sujo, who will join as a helper from this time, is very nice. It has a strong presence by filling the hole in Chow Yun-Fat of the previous work.

Happy New Year 2022! Greetings have been delayed, but I look forward to working with you again this year.
The first song of the new year is “Orfeu Samba”.
It is an insert song of the movie “Black Orpheus” (1959) composed by bossa nova guitarist Luiz Bonfá, and is one of the representative songs of bossa nova. There are other famous songs in the movie. This is a comfortable song with a refreshing guitar tone and a different arrangement from the movie version.

May 2022 be a year of calm like this song!

It’s finally Christmas.

For this day, Christmas has been produced in the city for a long time, and I’ve become accustomed to it, but I’ve finally realized it just before that.
A few more days this year.

By the way, my favorite Christmas song “O Holy Night” will decorate the big bird of this year’s music column.

It’s great that a big singer sings, but this song is still a chorus! The beautiful chorus seems to purify your mind. My main Christmas is to eat a treat while saying that.
It was
I wish you all a wonderful Christmas ♪

And thank you for visiting the music column again this year.
Have a nice New Year holidays! ︎

December is already the second half. It’s getting colder, but how about winter bossa nova?

Brazilian guitarist and composer Oscar Castro-Nevis’ 1956 song “Cry if sad”. At that time, I was only 16 years old when I made this song …

I was wondering who the version was good because it was sung by various people, but I chose the version sung by Gal Costa, the queen of Brazilian music.

The silky voice is a very comfortable song with a slower tempo than the original ♪

If you notice that it’s kind of cold, winter is right there.
The temperature dropped for a while, but the warm days continued for a while, so I felt good and felt envious.

Every year, Drew is not good at this time. The latter is the pattern in which the latter wins as a result of alternating feelings of impatience and escapism that we must prepare early to reach the year-end and New Year holidays comfortably. Is there anyone similar? This is the type who wants to find friends and feel at ease.
No, it’s going to be the end of the year as it is!

By the way, this song will be the end of the popular Michel Berger special feature (unknowingly). A beautiful melody gently sung by France Gall on Berger’s gentle piano. It seems that it was recorded on the B side of the single version of the column “Confession of Love” (1974) two years ago.
I don’t understand the words, but I’m fascinated by the feeling of happiness.
It is a recommended song that will make you feel at ease when you are tired of the busyness of December, the lonely battle (cleaning), or before going to bed ♪

Autumn is deepening and my melancholy mode is accelerating. Please get along with me who wants to get rid of the mellow mood of autumn and indulge in a lot of thoughts with a moist song.

Last time, Michel Berger’s song continued from the last time, so thank you again this time.
This song, which begins quietly from the story, is the Japanese title “Confession” sung by Francoise Hardy.

It’s a hit song in 1973, but I first learned about this song about 30 years ago.
At that time, I was longing for the Ennui route and thought that the cool and laid-back atmosphere was cool, but even if I wanted to play it, my true character soon came out and I couldn’t finish it, and I ended up with the current character.

When I listened to the song for the first time in a long time, my delusion switch was turned on. It’s a song that makes you feel like an ennui person just while listening to it ♪

Autumn Moist Song Festival (without permission) is being held! So this time, Michel Berger, who was active as a French pop singer and composer, provided the song to France Gall for the first time, and the Japanese title is “Confession of Love”. It’s a romantic love song.

Speaking of French gals, “Dreaming Chanson Doll” (1964), which has an impressive young and vigorous singing voice, is famous, but after a period of rest, it was produced by Michel Berger in 1974. Revived as a full-fledged adult singer from a former idol. It seems that they got married two years later.

Even though it was hot all the time when autumn started, it suddenly became cold and my heart was squeezed. a little bit! It’s not over yet, autumn! Soak in the sentimental mood and listen to it ♪
