  • One Little Step Forward

    One Little Step Forward

    A rehearsal for an opera to be preformed in September.

    World class singers will sing their favorite songs in Part One.

    Part Two is a performance of Magic Flute, an opera written by Mozart.

    And what a surprise! Elica Miwa will sing a part!

    I never thought I will be singing in an opera.

    It is even beyond a dream.

    But one day, I happened to start learning classical style singing.

    It has been nine years since.

    Small part, short time.

    But still…

    I am in an opera!

    And it is Magic Flute!

    Step forward, toward your dream however remote it seems.

    It needs courage.

    Step forward.

    ++ Live Interaction of the Day ++

    Remember your dream.

    夢を実現させるには

    今日は、次にやるオペラのリハーサル。

    第一部はコンサートで、世界で活躍するレベルの歌手たちが、それぞれ得意な歌を歌います。

    第二部は、モーツァルトのオペラ『魔笛』のダイジェスト。

    なんと三輪えり花もある役柄で歌います。

    自分がオペラに出演するなんて、夢のまた夢。

    そう思っていました。

    けれどある日を境に歌のレッスンに通い始め、9年目にしてオペラ出演です。ほんの少しの登場ですが、それでも出演です。

    遠い夢に向けて、一歩をふみ出してみよう

    一歩を出すのは勇気がいる

    あなたはどんな一歩を踏み出すだろう？

  • Vowel and Feelings

    Vowel and Feelings

    Vowels carry emotions and feelings.

    My voice coach at RADA (Royal Academy of Dramatic Art) once told me that vowels carry emotions and feelings.

    Sure, we can deliver many different feelings on “Oh”.

    [Live Interavpcrion of the Day]

    Feel vowels in speaking.

    英国王立演劇アカデミーのボイスコーチが、言葉は母音と子音で成り立っていて、母音は気持ちを伝えるのだ、と仰っていた。

    日本語も同じ。

    試しに母音だけ、一音ずつ、ちょっと伸ばし気味に喋ってみよう。

    「あー」

    「いー」

    「うー」

    「えー」

    「おー」

    どんな発見がありましたか？

    Is Japanese language illogical comparing to English?

    My sister is a linguist doctor.

    When we had dinner together today at Grand Prince Hotel in Tokyo, we discussed whether Japanese is illogical comparing to English.

    As a theatre director studying Shakespeare, Oscar Wilde, and modern dramatists, I think English language is also quite illogical.

    Actors speak often very illogically.

    However, intellectual people such as writers, teachers, directors speak and write logically indeed; they have been educated how to develop their thoughts logically.

    Human beings are illogical.

    Whether it is either in Japanese or English, we need to train ourselves to speak and write logically, so that we can literally communicate what we think.

    Try to speak logically.

    …Yes, it’s difficult.

    But when you at least try to think and speak logically, you will be doing it.

    Just like muscle training; try a little further, it will develop. Try not at all, no development.
