『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.

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.

秋が段々深まってきて寒さも感じるこの頃。 少し前まで暑くて鬱陶しかったマスクがこれからは冷たい空気からも守ってくれる嬉しいアイテムです‼︎マスクって便利です。 電車の中で携帯見ててちょっと笑っちゃってもマスクしていれば大 …
Around this time, autumn is getting deeper and I feel cold.
The mask, which was hot and annoying until a while ago, is a nice item that will protect you from the cold air from now on! ︎ Masks are convenient.
Even if you look at your cellphone on the train and laugh a little, it’s okay if you wear a mask, and listening to music and lip-synching …
Although the meaning was different from the mask of the title of the song, this “Masked Night” was recorded in Pierre Barouh’s album “VIKLNG BANK” released in 1976, which is familiar in the movie “A Man and a Woman”, and Drew This is one of the fashionable songs that my older sister listened to when she was a child.
I didn’t understand the meaning of the wonderful song, so I took my WALKMAN (nostalgic) to school, listened to it together, and danced in a circle.
It’s such a memorable song.

皆さんはどのような秋をお過ごしですか? 今回は芸術の秋という事で選んでみたのは、バッハの代表曲で式場とかでお馴染みの『G線上のアリア』のメロディでブラジル出身のトリオ エスペランサがポルトガル語で歌っているこの曲です。 …
What kind of autumn are you all having?
This time, I chose Bach’s representative song, “Air on the G String,” which is a melody of “Air on the G String,” sung by Brazilian trio Esperanza in Portuguese.
In the a cappella group of three sisters who have been active since childhood in the 1960s, “Esperanza” means “hope.”
It is included in the album released in 2010 after working based in France for a while and returning to Brazil for a long rest.
The beautiful a cappella singing voice, which is different from the classical music of solemn or magnificent performance, makes you feel close enough to sing a famous song with a humming song.
Why don’t you listen to it leisurely during the long autumn nights?

色んな風物詩を感じられないまま過ごしてる今年。 ようやくという気持ちとそしてあっという間に、これから秋が始まります。日本特有と言われてる四季。秋を長く感じていられたら嬉しいな♪私の一番好きな季節です。 『私のお気に入り』 …
This year I’m spending without feeling any of the various traditions.
With the feeling of finally, and in no time, autumn is about to begin. The four seasons are said to be unique to Japan. I would be happy if I could feel autumn for a long time ♪ It is my favorite season.
“My Favorite Things”. This song, originally sung as a musical, is the same, but I was taught the originals of various masterpieces with the cover of Sergio Mendes.
There are various versions, but this one is also stylish. Ah, I want to go to Kyoto! ︎

女優さんが続いた流れから来まして今回はジェーン バーキン。 白いシャツに着古したジーンズのナチュラルで気取りのないスタイルがかっこよくて憧れました。美しさは真似できませんが素敵な笑顔はお手本にしたいドリューです。 優しく …
Jane Birkin comes this time from the flow of actresses.
I admire the natural, unpretentious style of white shirts and worn jeans. I can’t imitate beauty, but Drew wants to have a nice smile as a model.
It is healed by a unique singing voice that is kind and faint.
The “Rocking Chair” (1978) is recommended when you want to relax at tea or bar time at home. Of course it is a song by Gainsbourg.

今年は梅雨明けが遅かったせいか、ようやく夏らしくなったように思っていたらもう8月も半ばが過ぎ秋が近づいています。 お店では秋のコレクションもスタートしていて新作が届くたびワクワクしちゃいます。 残暑は厳しいですが心はもう …
Maybe it’s late in the rainy season this year, and I thought it was finally summer, but the middle of August has already passed and autumn is approaching.
Autumn collection has started in the store, and I am excited when a new item arrives.
The summer heat is tough, but my heart is already autumn.
I usually want to listen to a sentimental song quietly at the end of the summer, when it was noisy.
This song, with a soft melody, is the 1964 song “Hamabe no Monogatari” when actress Brigitte Bardot began singing.
It’s a sentimental song that even an adult drew can return to a maiden.

もうすぐ梅雨明け‼︎ 雨女でおなじみのドリューのおすすめの雨にちなんだ曲はいくつかあるのですが、今回はフランソワーズ アルディが歌う英語の曲『悲しい雨が』を選んでみました。 私も久々に聴きましたがとっても心が落ち着きます …
Soon after the rainy season! ︎
There are several songs recommended by Drew, who is familiar with Amame, but this time I chose the English song “Sad Amiga” sung by Francoise Ardi.
I’ve listened to it for a long time, but it’s very calming.
Ardi, who has been active as a singer and actress since the 1960s, is really wonderful now.

皆さんの夏のマストアイテムは何ですか? 夏といえば色々ありますが夏はやっぱり西瓜ではないでしょうか。子供の頃は夢中になって実と皮の境目のもう甘くないところまで食べたものです。 お塩をかけることによって甘さを引き出す魔法も …
Watermelon Man
What is your summer must-have item?
Speaking of summer, there are various kinds, but I think summer is definitely watermelon. When I was a kid, I fell in love with it and ate it even when the boundary between fruit and skin was not so sweet.
I also learned the magic of bringing out sweetness by adding salt.
Right now, there is also a creamy watermelon that is yellow, but I’ve never eaten it. This year, I am grateful for the benefits of the season.
The Cuban-born conga player Mongo Santa Maria arranges the famous song “Water Melon Man” by jazz master Harvey Hancock in a lively and fun way.

ようやくお出かけしやすくなったかと思えば梅雨。 梅雨時期の湿度がお肌に良いとか聞いたことありますが本当なら嬉しいけどドリューの場合、湿気で髪はクルクルになっちゃってそういうふうにブローで仕上げてると思われたら嫌だなーとか …
The rainy season seems to make it easier to go out.
I’ve heard that the humidity during the rainy season is good for your skin, but I’m really happy, but in the case of drew, it’s too much to think that it would be bad if the hair was curled up due to humidity and it would be blown like that. Or?
There are a lot of sad songs related to rain, but when I listen to the electric “Sing in the Rain” sung by the Dutch-born Taco from Jakarta, it makes me feel radiant.
It seems that he was originally a stage actor and the movement is interesting, and the singing voice is wonderful.
It’s fun to cover various other famous songs.
