The finalists of the "3rd AKB48 Group Singing No.1 Decision Battle" were selected from six AKB48 domestic groups, including Yuraku Ikeda (STU48), Noshima Kano (SKE48), Okada Nana (AKB48/STU48), Akiyoshi Yuka (HKT48), Nakazu Furuhata (SKE48), Fana Yano (STU48), Princess Mimura (NGT48), The group "Nona Diamonds" composed of Suzuran Yamauchi (SKE48) and Yamiya Yamazaki (NMB48) of the Censor Special Award will debut as "Song of Beginning". The lyrics and composition of the composition is the composition of Gosperz Kurosawa Kaoru, who is the final reviewer, and the combination of nine diamond meanings contains the idea of "hoping that everyone's singing voice will be like a diamond, and that it will be honed and shined with the surrounding instruments" in the future. This time, the Music Voice serialized interviews with 9 people. How does the "muse" found in the song shine? While following this trajectory, we listened to the "Song of Beginning" and the thoughts of the song.
Yamauchi Suzuran, the beginning of the song
The 3rd Congress, the qualifiers for the finals. After the singing, she said in a trembling voice, "Sing in a tense tension, so the tears come out when it's over." I want to laugh and try to the end." However, panicked, he said, "Tears are not deceitful! Saying that caused laughter. The personality that is easy to be nervous makes people feel shy, but in fact, it is hidden inside.
The song sung is a song with creatures hanging on it, "The Wind is Blowing". The song was sung powerfully with a loud and reverberating song. However, long tones cannot be sustained. At first, I thought it was because I was nervous, but I wasn't.
"The second convention, which did not stay in the final list, sang badly. After being examined, it was found that the vocal cords could not be turned off, and the sound and breathing leaked at the same time. I've always been in the mood that this conference may be the last time, but if the third congress is held, I want to sing, so I underwent surgery. Now it is not completely cured, and when the vocal cords are closed and not closed, the throat has not been good. Because it was a meeting shortly after the operation, it was very nervous, but it was very uneasy before singing, 'What if there are different voices'"
However, the uneasiness of the throat, the tension of the throat, the trembling of the voice, the various feelings of wanting to sing on this stage, transcend the technical residence in this song, and produce a special worldview.
He joined in 2009 as a 9th term student of AKB48. After the years passed, 2018. The convening of the first general assembly was decided.
"The most important thing is because I like to sing. However, I think there is no reason not to come out if I have the opportunity, and even if I don't sing well, I will definitely come out. It was an opportunity to be on TV, and I was embarrassed and couldn't sing well. If something you regret, just practice it."
The result is 5th place. Taking this conference as an opportunity, the perception of "singing well" has gradually expanded.
"Attending this congress, I feel that my possibilities have expanded. Although it can't be said to be a success, until then my weapon was only golf.... But with the addition of songs, I feel that the scope of work that only I can do has also expanded. And even if I sang in the group, the number of people who noticed my voice increased. Personality has also increased and the opportunity to get to know me has also increased, thank you very much"
The prank of the fate of "throat discomfort" has also been turned into strength. That figure was as strong as the song.
Singing strength determines the battle, can not sing at will, with feelings as the main body
- Does vocal cord surgery have an effect?
Breathing cannot be sustained. Because the vocal cords could not be turned off, the air leak broke halfway. Although he underwent surgery, he was not completely cured, so sometimes it could not be closed, and his physical condition has not been good. Too much use of the throat will recur, so it is very uneasy. That being said, it's better than before the surgery. However, if you can't sing as you imagine, you will feel very unwilling a lot of times. Because it was a conference held under that circumstance, it was very nervous, because there was no high pitch, so it was very uneasy.
"The Wind Is Blowing" made me feel its effects.
I came out during practice. But in the official performance, the high-pitched part of the chorus is a bit shrunken and it is difficult to show it, because I don't think it will add points when reviewing, so I am thinking about how to cover it elsewhere.
It's amazing to want to deal with this situation calmly.
Because I have been practicing, I want to show 100% of my strength, but when it comes to the official performance, the sound that does not come out still comes out.... I don't think I can stay in Finalist if I don't make it up anywhere.... The A melody and the B melody have the effect of going smoothly, but the high-pitched part of the chorus cannot be expressed as imagined, and when thinking about what to do, I want to put my mood on the sound, in short, pay attention to conveying ideas to sing.
——Among them, I think the echo and volume in the mouth are also very strong. As if to not burden the throat, the whole body sang with an instrument.
I think the mood part is accompanied by volume. It's just that my habit is that when adding the vowel of "あ", I am not good at pronouncing "は" and "ま". Because if you sing normally, you will be attracted to the nose, so the practice of emptying your mouth and putting your tongue at the bottom of your mouth to sing is also very powerful. Don't make nasal noises, scones! I became aware of my mother's voice.
In contrast, the unsmooths of "サンサラ" so far have been sung beautifully like lies.
Originally, the bass part of the song was very low, and it was difficult for girls to listen to. Because the throat is uncomfortable, the high voice is not pronounced, so it challenges the low voice. Although I was positioned as a challenge every time, I was originally a very loud person, so I sang very cutely, and actually the sound was cute. But there are also people who want to destroy this impression, so "the wind is blowing" means to let the new wind blow. Therefore, I felt that "サンサラ" is a bass and very influential song in this era, so I decided on this song.
But I think it's very difficult to sing this difficult song.
The band members felt that even if I played "Sanzara" normally, it would be difficult for me to sing, so they changed the performance to the style of Suzuran Yamauchi. Whether it's the sound of entering the law or transposing, it's made to make it easier for me to get. Of course, this conference will have rankings, maybe the world of strength, but everyone, including the staff and band members, is supporting us. Because everyone is supporting everyone, I think it is a very warm conference.
-------------------------------------------------
In Bangkok, keyboardist Yudai Sato noticed Suzuran at the second congress, what happened to the sound? "Hmm. After talking about the situation, he gave me a lot of advice, he said: "My throat is a lifelong thing, so don't force it, the places where we can cooperate are consistent." ”。 Obviously, there are more than 100 people who signed up to participate in the conference, but it is really touching to watch one by one.
Start the song and find yourself
- What was my impression when I first listened to it?
The first thing I heard was "This is a very nice tune!" I love this! "Yes! Although this chorus also has many songs that can grasp people's hearts, this song is grasped from the beginning. Of course the lyrics are good, but the melody is really great. Although it came in quickly, it was also a bit sad. Their feelings are also easily impulsive. People who listen to songs will listen to songs while matching their feelings. I feel that this song applies not only to relationships, but also to the feelings of everyone like hard working people.
- What do you think of the song?
I don't have that much to sing myself, but at key points, I feel like I'm assigned songs that fully express my personality. Mr. Kurosawa always says "because Suzuran sauce is the core" in the first episode after the end of the second season. The voice also became louder, and the part that continued to sing with emotions also continued. The first shot there got such an important part as "Everybody will cooperate with the heat of Suzuran". There have been many times in 12 years when opportunities have not been seized. However, in such a situation, I felt that what I should do was to continue to hone my personality for 12 years, so with an anxious mood, I very consciously put the mood of discovering my personality on the song and sang.
