昨夜のNHK MUSIC SPECIAL宇多田ヒカルを観た。
15歳時が大人びていたとしても、25年経った今、見た目がほぼ変わらない。
タイムスリップしたかのような若さに驚愕！
しかし驚くのは、それだけじゃない。
年齢や性別、運命や物の価値に対する考え方が、全方向に開放されている。
それは、現実を受け入れる力と、同時に、前に進む力の動力源になっているように思われる。
自らのルーツを感謝をもって肯定し、経験を糧にしながらもそれに頼ることなく、他者のみならず物質までをもリスペクトする。
他人が残した食べ物を愛しく思うと。
それって、藤井風さんと同じじゃないか！
2人の共通点は、音楽の才能だけじゃなくて、”ありのままを肯定し批判しないこと”のようだ。
I watched Hikaru Utada on NHK MUSIC SPECIAL last night.
Even if she looked mature when she was 15, she looks almost the same 25 years later.
I was amazed at how young she looked as if she had traveled back in time!
But that's not the only thing that's surprising.
She has an open-minded way of thinking about age, gender, fate, and the value of things.
This seems to be the source of her strength to accept reality and, at the same time, her strength to move forward.
She acknowledges her roots with gratitude, draws on her experiences but does not rely on them, and respects not only others but also matter.
I heard she loves food left by others.
Isn't that the same as Fujii Kaze?
It's supposed that what the two have in common is not only their musical talent, but also "affirming things as they are and not criticizing them."
