サラウェアの今シーズンのテーマは『Seaside Promenade』。 海辺のお散歩で思い出すのは…遠過ぎる昔、幼稚園で海に行きました。みんなと手をつないで海岸をお散歩しているとヒトデが砂浜にいました。初めて見たヒトデ …
Sarahwear’s theme for this season is “Seaside Promenade”.
A walk along the beach reminds me … I went to the sea in kindergarten too long ago. A starfish was on the beach as I was walking along the beach, holding hands with my friends. When the starfish I saw for the first time was happy to pick it up and walk along the beach while holding it in my hand … Something came out from the center of the starfish and I was so surprised that I threw it like a boomeran and returned it to the sea.
It’s a forgetful Drew, but I still vividly remember the event. When I remembered such a seaside event, I somehow wanted to meet the sea creatures.
I’m scared to touch it now, so maybe I should go to the aquarium.

寒さにブルブルした冬が過ぎ芽吹きの春の到来です‼︎ 植物たちがすくすくと色んな準備を始めるみたいに私も何か新しい事を習ってみたいとか作ったことないお料理に挑戦してみよう、とか色んな妄想がふくらみます。 妄想は自由です。 …
The cold winter has passed and the budding spring has arrived! ︎
Just as the plants gradually start preparing, I also want to learn something new, try cooking that I have never cooked, and so on.
Delusions are free.
There is a recommended song when you want to relax while delusional.
This is the theme song for the ’69 movie “Metti una sera a cena” by the great Italian film musician Ennio Morricone. It seems that the movie has not been released in Japan, so I don’t know what the story is, but this song was on the CD I had, and I was fascinated by the beautiful melody from the first time I heard it.
Since it is a scat, you can freely delusion and make an original music video in your head ♪ Uhufu.

あーっ!そういえば2月って28日までしかないんだった〜。短い〜。 急ぐのが苦手、のんびり大好きなドリューは休日に家で何時間でも座っていられます。色々やることあってもなかなか椅子から離れられません。 そういう時は忙しそうな …
Ah! By the way, February was only until the 28th. It’s so short…
Drew, who is not good at rushing and loves to relax, can sit at home for hours on holidays. Even if I do various things, I can’t get away from the chair.
At that time, switch on with a song that seems to be busy!
“SOUL BOSSA NOVA”, which I have heard in movies and commercials, is from Quincy Jones’ ’62 album “BIG BAND BOSSA NOVA”, a legend in the music world who handles songs of various genres. About 30 years ago, I bought a jacket without knowing it was a masterpiece.

Michel Polnareff『愛の願い』Michel Polnareff -Love Me, Please Love Me
February 5, 2021
わーっ!お正月、節分と来て次はバレンタインデー!忙し〜! 年に一度の特別なチョコレートを、と言う事でスイーツの街、自由が丘も色んなお店でバレンタイン限定商品が並んでます。 バレンタインデーと言えば… またまた小学生の頃の …
Wow! New Year, Setsubun and Valentine’s Day next! I’m busy!
By saying that special chocolate is once a year, Valentine’s limited products are lined up at various shops in the sweets town of Jiyugaoka.
Speaking of Valentine’s Day …
Another story when I was in elementary school.
I really wanted to give the original chocolate to the boy I loved, so I prepared a chocolate bar from a few days ago and was wondering what to do. Finally, on the day of the event, I just unwrapped the chocolate bar and had it in my house. I rewrapped it in foil and handed it to the shy boy I met in the park. The face of the child who received just flat silver paper without wrapping … I don’t remember. He only remembers to hand it over.
This song that revives such a bittersweet memory is Michel Polnareff’s “Love Me, Please Love Me” in 1966. The sweet melody conveys your sad feelings with all your might.
It wasn’t until this time that it had a unique appearance.

突然ですが私、自分の気持ちを伝える時に説明が足りなかったらいけないな、とか間違って伝わらないように、とか色々考えて話が長くなるんです。 あ、ご存じでした? だからきっと食レポとかも向いてなさそうです。誰にも頼まれてません …
Suddenly, when I express my feelings, I have to explain enough, and I think about various things so that I don’t misrepresent it, and the story becomes long.
Oh, did you know?
Therefore, it seems that food repo is not suitable. No one has asked me.
I long for it in simple, short words, but it’s sad that the story ends with just one word, so please keep in touch with me!
The song is “Just Say, Just Say” with a mellow tone from the album of Diana Ross & Marvin Gaye released in 1973.

早いもので新年がスタートしてもう半月になりますが2021年も皆さまの日常にサラウェアをおそばに置いていただけましたら嬉しいです♪ 本年もどうぞよろしくお願いいたします。 そんな思いを込めて今年第一回目は私た …
It’s been half a month since the New Year started early, but I’d be happy if you could put Sarahwear by your side in 2021 as well.
We look forward to working with you this year as well.
With that in mind, the first of this year is from our heart’s Bible, Burt Bacharach’s album.
“Close to you” is famous for Carpenters, but this time it is this version sung by Bacharach himself.
The refreshing performances of Bacharach’s piano and orchestra seem to wash my heart.
There are various concerns, but I hope that 2021 will be a little calm! ︎

毎年この時期が来ると新年を迎えるための準備に気持ちは焦りますが体は動きません。それは自分のせいなのですが、特に今年はあっという間に年末に連れてこられたような気分です。 色んなイベントがおあずけになった分、来年に向け期待が …
Every year when this time comes, I feel impatient to prepare for the New Year, but my body does not move. It’s my fault, but especially this year I feel like I was brought to the end of the year in no time.
Expectations will grow for next year as various events are added.
I hope the situation will improve soon.
Many covers were sung in this year’s music column, and each one has a different impression, and all of them are good songs, but I chose the astringent original.
Leonard Cohen he was a poet and novelist in addition to a musician.
The original was shocking because I listened to the gorgeous version first, but the gospel-style chorus has a feeling of the end of the year and I want to listen to it.
We hope you all have a good year.

急に寒さが増したと思ったらそれもそのはず。気づいてはいましたけどもう12月も後半です。いよいよクリスマスです。 街の色んな所でクリスマスに向けて飾り付けがされ、キラキラ輝くイルミネーションにうっとりしたりプレゼントは何を …
If you think it’s getting cold suddenly, that should be it. I had noticed that December is already in the second half. It’s finally Christmas.
It’s a season when the outside is cold but warm, with decorations in various parts of the city for Christmas, fascinated by the glittering illuminations, and wondering what to give as gifts.
And although the busy end of the year is approaching, let’s cheat the impatient feeling and spend it now! Please! ︎
I feel an affinity to the sound of the familiar voice and harmonica. Stevie Wonder’s Ave Maria is recommended ♪
『Your Eyes』『Your Eyes』
November 20, 2020
遥か昔、小学生の頃。徒歩30分位かけて隣町の学習塾まで通っていました。 塾のお友達は私の通う学校のクラスメイトより身なりも話題もちょっと大人っぽくてお友達になれたのが嬉しくて勉強どころではありませんでした。 そんな遠くま …
A long time ago, when I was in elementary school. It took about 30 minutes on foot to go to the cram school in the neighboring town.
My friends at the cram school were a little more mature than my classmates at the school I attended, and I was happy to be friends with them, so I couldn’t study.
I wonder what I was going to do so far …
The neighboring town is close to the downtown area, and my friends were accustomed to going to the movies with their children alone, which was cool.
When I was invited to join me, I felt like I was a little grown up.
The day of farewell will come soon, but my memory is vague and I don’t remember how I spent the last time with everyone.
As a junior high school student, I moved, and my friend’s memory remains in the sixth grade of elementary school.
I wonder what kind of adults everyone is.
It’s been a long time, but this “Your Eyes” is the theme song of the movie “La Boum 2” starring Sophie Marceau, which will be released after that, and listening to this song reminds me of those days when I was longing for boys and girls in the neighboring town. It will be a tune.
『Tango Lunaire』『Tango Lunaire』

秋はお月さまがきれいですよね。 なのにことごとくお月さまを見るのを忘れてしまいました。先日もお客さまとお月さまがきれいと盛り上がったのに帰り道は晩ご飯の事で夢中になり空を見るよりスーパーに向かいまっすぐ突進してしまいまし …
The moon is beautiful in autumn, isn’t it?
But I forgot to see the moon. The other day, the customers and the moon were enthusiastic, but on the way back, I was absorbed in dinner and rushed straight toward the supermarket rather than looking at the sky.
I want you to manage my appetite with the mysterious energy of the moon.
How about tango while watching the moon?
“Tango Lunaire” The tango of the month is from the movie “TANGO” released in 1998.
Aside from the story of the movie, I went to the product sales corner to buy a CD immediately after watching the movie.
Produced by film music composer Lalo Schifrin, it is full of enchanting songs from familiar tango representative songs to original songs.
It’s a song that I rarely listen to, but sometimes I want to listen to it.
