ここでやっぱり『NHK MUSIC SPECIAL 藤井風～いま、世界で～』に触れておこう。
藤井風さんの言葉で、新作アルバム制作過程の心情を聞くことができた。
英語の曲を作る苦悩、
心を通わせるアイテムとしての英語の可能性、
大好きだと言っていたレコーディングの様子、
時代を逆行させるほどの普遍性を楽曲に注ぎ込んだ意味。
NHKならではの取材力で、とても貴重だ。
去年の『NHK MUSIC SPECIAL 藤井風～登れ、世界へ～』は、あまりにも切なくて動悸がしたものだが、今回は”Prema”を聴いていたので安心して見ることができた。
”藤井風”の魂の成長をなぞるような個性ある9曲入りのアルバムを、私が聴くことができるなんて、なんて幸せなことだろう。
I'd like to talk about "NHK MUSIC SPECIAL Fujii Kaze ~Now, in the World~" here.
In Fujii Kaze's words, I was able to hear his thoughts on the process of creating his new album.
The struggles of composing English songs,
The potential of English as a medium for connecting hearts,
A look at the recording process, which he said he loved,
The meaning of infusing his songs with such universality that they seem to take us back in time.
This is an invaluable example of NHK's unique reporting skills.
Last year's "NHK MUSIC SPECIAL Fujii Kaze ~Climb the World~" was so heartbreaking that it made my heart race, but this time I was able to watch it with peace of mind because I had been listening to "Prema."
I am so happy that I am able to listen to this unique album of nine tracks, which traces the growth of Fujii Kaze's soul.
