藤井風さんの曲の季節感について

全ての藤井風さんの曲に言えると思うが、1曲の中に日本でいう四季のような抑揚がある。

クラシック音楽に親しんできた彼なら当然かもしれない。

 

もちろん、それぞれの曲の印象は別物なんだけれど、どれも限定的な季節というより、「結局全て一つの所へ向かっている」というような普遍的な法則を感じる。

 

このことについて、デビューからまだ日が浅いころのFM802 オチケンさんとのトークSNSで聴くことがあり、腑に落ちた。

 

クリスマスの想い出を尋ねられた風さんが、考えあぐねた挙句絞り出した答は、”何なんw” MV 撮影のNYで、季節柄目立つクリスマスの装飾を排除するのに苦労した、ということだった。

 

藤井風さんは初めから季節感を曲の中に落とし込むのを避けているようなのだ。

これにはきっと明白な意図があるに違いない。

 

 

I think this can be said of all of Fujii Kaze's songs, but within each one there is a rhythm that is similar to what we call the four seasons in Japan.

This is perhaps to be expected from him familiar with classical music.

 

Of course, each song gives a different impression, but rather than being related to a specific season, I feel a universal law that "ultimately, everything is leading to the same place."

 

I once heard a conversation on social media with FM802's Ochiken about this, shortly after his debut, and it all made sense to me.

 

When asked about his Christmas memories, KAZE thought for a moment before finally squeezing out an answer. He said that when they were filming the music video for "Nan Nan lol" in New York, they had a hard time getting rid of the Christmas decorations that were so conspicuous because of the season.

 

It seems that Fujii Kaze has avoided incorporating a sense of the seasons into his songs from the start.

There must be a clear intention behind this.
