Mongo Santamaria 『Watermelon Man』Mongo Santamaria 『Watermelon Man』
July 9, 2020
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.

お店が無事再開してお客様とお会いでき、楽しく会話ができる事に感謝し、ひしひしと喜びを感じています。休業中のひと月半、こんなにも限られた数人の人としか喋らなかった事なんて私の人生の中でありませんでした。 なのでお越しいただ …
I am very happy and grateful that the store has been successfully reopened and I have been able to meet customers and have a pleasant conversation. It was not in my life that I talked with such a limited number of people for a month and a half when I was closed.
So I’m sorry for the lengthy talks to everyone who came! Besides, it’s not related to clothes.
Talking, laughing and cheering for our customers, Drew is happy! Thank you!
Many artists have sung “Rosy Life”, but I especially like this singer, model and actress Grace Jones. It’s a long time until the song begins. You can have about 2 glasses of white wine just with a nice intro that starts with a comfortable acoustic guitar.
Music Columnくるり『 琥珀色の街、上海蟹の朝』Music Column Kururi. 『Amber Town, Shanghai Crab Morning』
May 29, 2020
いいかげん髪ぐらい切りたい、スタッフIです。 イライラしてもどうしようもないので、そんな時には何のことを歌ってるのかよくわからない曲を聴きます。上海蟹食べたいという歌詞が印象的過ぎて最初はそれしか残らないんですが、リピー …
I’m Staff I, who wants to cut just as much hair.
There is nothing I can do to get frustrated, so at that time I listen to a song that I don’t know what I’m singing. The lyrics that I want to eat Shanghai crab are so impressive that only that one remains at the beginning, but it is a surume song that I find that it is a very good song that makes me feel easy when I repeat.
The PV animation is also cute.

いよいよお店再開に向けワクワクしながら準備をしているドリューです。 自粛で予定が中止になったりすっかり季節も変わってしまったけどまたお店でお客様とお会いできる事を思うと元気が湧いてきます‼︎ 今回は楽しい気持ちになっちゃ …
Drew is preparing for the reopening of the store.
The schedule has been canceled due to self-restraint and the season has completely changed, but I feel energized when I think that I can meet customers at the shop again! ︎
This is a song that makes me feel happy!
“Runnin Away” released in 1972 by American funk band Sly & The Family Stone.

『イパネマの娘』『おいしい水』などでお馴染みのボサノバの歌姫 アストラッド ジルベルトが歌う1970年収録のアメリカのロックバンド ドアーズの代表曲『ハートに火をつけて』のカバー。 オリジナルはサイケデリックで不良な感じ …
A cover of the 1970s American rock band Doors’s song “Hit the Heart” sung by Astrod Gilberto, a bossa nova diva familiar with “Ipanema’s Daughter” and “Delicious Water”.
The original is psychedelic and it feels bad, but it’s so loose and cheerful Light My Fire is so happy that I’m so happy!
My brain relaxes due to the singing voice and the soft performance. Please listen to it at your leisure time!

Phoenix 『Napoleon Says』Music Column Phoenix 『Napoleon Says』
May 6, 2020
お久しぶりです、スタッフIです。ドリューさんにもご登場いただいて、音楽コラムもバリエーション広がってきたかなと思います。 今回は、フランス・ヴェルサイユ出身のバンドPhoenixです。フランスのバンドですが歌詞は英語です …
It’s been a while, Staff I. I think Drew’s appearance has expanded the variety of music columns.
This time I’m from Phoenix, a band from Versailles, France. It’s a French band, but the lyrics are in English. However, it has a French feel, depending on how it is pronounced. Perhaps one of the members was a French pop rock, it seems that one of the members was in a band with two of Daft Punk before formation, and sometimes there is an electronic element.
The first time I heard in this band was “Napoleon Says”, but when I was looking for a song to use at an event when I was a student, a friend brought it to me as a candidate and I fell in love with it.
GW will be over, but stay home is likely to continue for a while. As for the column, I thought it was a good way to spend time digging up the songs I listened to long ago and remembering those days.
Music Column 原田知世『ロマンス』Music Column Tomoyo Harada 【Romance】
May 1, 2020
部屋の片付けをしていて忘れていたものが出て来て手が止まり『キュン!』となってしまう事、皆さんもありませんか?私、ドリューの場合はいちいち手が止まってしまい全然はかどらないんですけど… そんな『キュン!』というテーマで今回 …
When I was cleaning up my room, something I had forgotten came out and my hands stopped, “Kyun! Isn’t there something that will become “?” In the case of me, Drew, my hands stopped and it didn’t work at all…
Such “Kyun! The theme I chose this time was “Romance” released in 1997 by Tomoyo Harada, who is still pretty. It’s a refreshing song with a nostalgic and fashionable melody and a soothing singing voice from the first time you listened to it.
Stay Home Week I will do my best to try boxes that have not been opened since I moved.

自粛期間が続いていますが皆さんはどのようにお過ごしですか? インドアな私、ドリューもこんなに家の中で過ごした事はありません。 段々と気候も良くなり、いつもなら外にいるのが気持ち良い季節。オープンなカフェとかでのんびり過ご …
The self-restraint period is continuing, but how are you spending?
Drew, an indoor me, has never lived in a house like this.
The weather is gradually improving, and it’s usually a pleasant season to be outside. It’s the season when you want to relax in an open cafe… Now, it’s also good to enjoy the cafe atmosphere at home by using the takeout menu of the shop in addition to rice.
This is recommended when you go to such a cafe. In French, titled “Coffee Color”, this song is a 1964 song by the songwriter, composer, singer, actor, and film director Serge Gainsbourg. You can relax and relax with a good feeling by listening to the laid-back and cheerful Latin number.
free refill! The best house cafe! !!

こんにちは。音楽コラム初参加のショップスタッフのドリューです。 日頃からお店と自宅の通勤以外は基本的にインドア派の私はおこもり生活もいつもと同じように音楽を聞いたりしてのんびり過ごしています。 今回ピックア …
Hello. This is Drew from the shop staff who participated in the music column for the first time.
I’m basically an indoor person except for commuting to shops and home, and I usually spend my leisure time listening to music as usual.
It seems that the first song to be picked up this time is the song of Paul McCartney recorded in the album “The Beatles” released in 1968, singing love to his later wife, Linda.
There are many famous songs in The Beatles, but even if I hear this song name, it doesn’t come out easily, but I think that many people think “Ah, nostalgia”.
When you listen to a gentle melody full of love, you will be instantly relieved.
It’s a short song, so it’s a good song to listen to to change your mind.
