歌のうまい人は他にもたくさんいる。
うっとりするような、張り詰めたような、晴れ晴れとするような歌だったりする。
そういう人たちと藤井風さんのどこが違うのかというと、風さんの歌は"威圧感がない"ということかもしれない。
当然、高い技術と能力を必要とするはずだけど、これ見よがしなところが一切ない。
特にライブでは、自己満足よりも聴く人の心地よさや自然な流れを優先させてるんだと思う。
音楽を相対的なものとして届ける工夫なんじゃないだろうか？
自分は音楽を伝える道具だと言う風さん。
聴く人がそれぞれの状況に合わせた解釈をして欲しいんじゃないだろうか？
プレイヤーとリスナーを区別しない、それぞれの主体性と互換性を意識した着想なんじゃないだろうか？
私も正座して聴きたくなる気持ちを抑えて、力を抜いて自然体で受けとめよう。
There are many other people who are good at singing.
Theirs songs can be mesmerizing, tense, or refreshing.
What makes Fujii Kaze different from those people might be that his songs are not intimidating.
Naturally, it requires high skill and ability, but there's nothing intimidating about it.
Especially during live performances, I think he prioritizes the comfort of the listener and a natural flow over self-satisfaction.
Perhaps it's a way to deliver music as a relative thing?
KAZE says he is a tool to convey music from heaven.
Perhaps he wants listener to interpret his music in a way that suits their own circumstances?
I think it's an idea that doesn't distinguish between players and listeners, but rather takes into account their respective subjectivity and compatibility.
I too will try to resist the urge to sit upright and listen, relax and take it in naturally.
