Blow! "Youfeng 2" OP performance analysis

Introduction: "Blow! Yukaze ~ Welcome to kita-Uji High School Wind Music Club ~ " is the work of Kyo Ani, and it is also "K-ON! Another anime based on music. This article starts with the OP of animation, conducts a small analysis of its performance, and also analyzes the story line and the intentions of the producers. There are spoilers in the text, please read with caution.

<h4>Faded past</h4>

The first half of the OP is black and white, and by simulating the virtual shaking and the reactions of the characters, it can be inferred that this part should be a video related to the blowing department. The third volume of the novel ends with the graduation season of third-year students, and this video is probably for souvenirs.

<h4>sunflower</h4>

There are many flower words of sunflowers: longing, gazing at you, admiring, radiance, admiration, respecting the old day, enthusiasm, radiance, admiration, adoration... Asuka said that the sunflower in the OP "Hope this summer will never end" symbolizes this summer of kita-Uji High School's winding department.

<h4>A turning point in three years of life</h4>

Haruka, Okamoto, Kaori, and Asuka appear in the picture are all in the third grade.

Bridges, staircases, and forks in the road are all turning points in the road, just like the graduating triennials, in the stage of choosing to face the future. The three pictures of the direction of the middle school sisters are the brightest places in the picture, symbolizing everyone's hope for the future.

<h4>Second grade</h4>

Kazuka Gakuen plays the flute alone, and Natsuki covers the camera to reflect the uneasy situation of the Rinan Central Group in the second season. But on the other hand, the compositional center of gravity of the second year group is biased to the right, and the light source also comes from the same direction, suggesting that the relationship between the south and central groups will be improved.

<h4>One-year group moving forward</h4>

The brightness of Xiao Lu's jumping feet and the brightness of the picture correspond to her positive state from beginning to end, Rena's soft expression and physical contact with Ye Yue are proof of Linai's growth, and it seems that the relationship between Linai and Ye Yue at this time is also a relationship that can smile and touch the body.

In the third picture, Ye Yuezhi is separated from Koori and Kumiko by a stone pillar, which naturally reminds people of the two different teams of the main selection team and the MONAKA group. But on the other hand, Ye Yue circled around the stone pillar and was moving in the direction of the main selection team, which may also imply that ye Yue in the second grade can already participate in the competition.

The little green that is jumping and the tram in progress are all moving, just like the growing annuals, they will definitely go further.

<h4>Asuka with reservations</h4>

I mentioned the "disguise" in Asuka's hands when I watched the performance analysis of episode 11 of the first season of Rabbit Mountain. In the OP, one hand is hidden behind the Yukaze, and although the other hand is interacting with people outside the camera, the obstruction of the desk makes Asuka maintain a certain distance from the camera.

The desk, which acts as an obstacle, blocks Asuka's legs, which are often used in Kyo Ani's anime to reflect the true emotions of the characters. This shot suggests that Asuka deliberately keeps a distance from the people off the camera (the audience) and hides her true self. But because there is nothing under the desk, we can more or less see the absolute field of the student... As the plot unfolds, you'll probably see more.

<h4>A gateway to a different future</h4>

Behind the shot of the girls jumping, there are rising cumulus clouds. Symbolizing an upward future, in contrast to Cumulus in the last episode of the first episode, Cumulus in these two seasons of op not only advances, but also becomes larger.

Why doesn't this shot have Linai? I personally think that Linai is the fourth person who does not leave the country, that is, the person with the camera. In the third volume of the novel, Rena says that she may study abroad in the future, which probably hints at the different choices of the protagonist group.

<h4>The preferred horn group</h4>

There are so many people in the wind department, but there are many shots in the horn group.

<h4>Kumiko's score</h4>

Although the camera flashes by, you can still see Kumiko's various marked sheet music scores, and the two big words "National".

<h4>South Central Group</h4>

In the lyrics of the song "Odd 跡が努力の先にあるなら", the Nanchu quartet appears one after another, and Ximi's camera is still wearing Nanzhong's school uniform, which is probably the picture in Goizuka's memory.

<h4>Asuka's choice</h4>

The focusing lens with unstable clarity symbolizes Asuka's confusion, and although she likes the Yukaze, she has been helplessly hindered by her mother. The relationship between light and dark in the picture also indicates the importance of the Yuka to Asuka.

When practicing alone, Asuka's keys are very soft, but in the second screen, the Kansai Tournament, the fingers of the sister buttons are full of power. The contrast between the light and dark of the two pictures reflects Asuka's different mood states, the latter is obviously hopeful, combined with the lyrics "Limit Boundary はあたしが決める" We seem to feel the determination of the student sister.

Why did Xuejie have such a change? The camera switch says it all, and asuka and Kumiko's eye contact points the reason for the change to Kumiko. It is also after this shot that the picture changes from black and white to color, and Kumiko in the second season will be the force that drives everyone to change.

<h4>People who are associated with trombones</h4>

When Kumiko was a child, she envisioned her sister so she blew up her trombone, and she didn't know whether to look at the trombone or look at Kumiko's Shuichi (according to the line of sight, it should be looking at Kumiko?). The camera then switches to the scene of Shuichi blowing the trombone, which can represent both "longing" and "admiration" in Japan, and the trombone is the medium of transmission of the juvenile dye group "憧れ". I just don't know if Shuichi in the anime world line has the blessing of falling in love with Kumiko...

<h4>bridge</h4>

This shot easily makes up the human brain next to Kumiko into Reina, but it is actually Asuka Gakuge. In Kyo Ani's animation, the bridge has always had a very important place. The bridge is the thing that connects the two separate places, and according to the description in the original novel, this is where Asuka practices the Yuka every day, and where Asuka reveals her heart to Kumiko. One end of the bridge in the picture is Asuka, and the other end of the bridge is light and countless houses. This bridge is the connection between Asuka and the Kansai Assembly, with the Yukaze, with her parents, and with the Keiji.

The flowing river, the falling sunset, and the hair that flutters with the wind are all moving, and Asuka will not always stand still, and Kumiko who looks at Asuka is the witness of everything.

<h4>Taki Sensei's love</h4>

「忘れたくないメロディー」Finally stopped at the picture where the teacher and his wife looked at each other, "離したくないメロディー", which is a single phase of Taki's teacher who was the conductor in the competition. Taki-sensei has been languishing since the death of his wife, and the initial reason for entering the national competition is to fulfill his wife's wish. Although she has passed away, her wife still occupies an important place in the teacher's heart. Rena's unrequited love will probably never get a response.
