第三回「Jenivaの紹介・前編」の回
5月20日、大窪HotShotにて、ついに、
待ちに待ったJenivaの初ライブに行って来ました!!
感想!!やられたぁ~!!!はい。この一言につきますね(笑)
Jenivaはですね、(Vo)藤原惇哉(ky)高橋淳和(B)玉井晋作(Dr)高橋悠
といったメンバーでして、ギターはAncient Mythの僕の天敵さんちゃんが
サポートとしてやっているんですよね。ギターさんは只今募集中だそうです。
僕はVoの惇ちゃん、悠君とは専門の時に知り合いまして、
この二人は前メタルバンドでも一緒でして、一言で表現するならば、
熟年夫婦なわけですよ(笑)※補足、夫(じゅんちゃん)妻(悠君)(笑)
まず、僕が見た勝手な見解で、打ち上げに参加させて頂きましたので、
メンバーさんの印象を…
Vo惇ちゃんはですねぇ~仲良くさせて頂いているんですけど、
なんだかライブに向けドレッドの長いエクステを付けておりまして、
現在ぱっとみ、何だかよく分からない人になってます(笑)
某AバンドのVoさん(僕の薔薇の君・笑・)はこの惇ちゃんの信者でして…(笑)
今回のライブ、スタッフさんとして来ていたのですが、
「うなじがぁ~っ☆惇哉さんのうなじが…!!」と
ライブ後に叫んでおりましたね(笑)
またまた、某AバンドのKyさんの社長は、
「天女だ!!いや…卑弥呼!!」と会った瞬間にまたまた、
可愛い天然っぷり発揮で言っておられました(笑)
打ち上げで某Aバンドキャップと話したんですが、
惇ちゃんという人は、フェロモンの塊みたいな人でして…(笑)
僕はあらためて、密かに「僕にも少しくらい分けて頂けないものか…」
と思っています(笑)
こんな不思議な人ですが、とても良い人なんですよ。優しいですしね。
興味をもっていただき、ライブに行ったさいは、外見にびっくりなさらず、
話し掛けてみてください(笑)基本的には紳士な方なので(笑)
お次はDr悠君です。一言で彼を表現するなら…ツトム君です!!
(矢沢あい先生の「ご近所物語」の彼です・笑・)まぁ、あくまで、一見ですが…(笑)
爽やか好青年ですね!優しい笑顔と、社交的な方ですよ!
一番話し掛けやすいかたかと(笑)
しかし、5月20日残念ながら雨でして、(しかも台風!)
それがどうやら、彼は雨男らしいのですよね(笑)まぁ僕は雨が好きなので、
嫌がっている彼と変わってあげたいくらいですが…(笑)
まぁ、此処で暴露してよいものか分からないですが(笑)
実は仲良くなると、中々爽やか笑顔で人を苛めますね(笑)
こんな爽やか子悪魔な感じの方ですが(笑)
彼もとても気くばり上手な、優しいお兄さんです。
さて、お次はKyの淳和さんです。打ち上げで、お話させていただきましたが、
僕は最初、某Aバンドのライブでお会いしているのですが、
クールな方なのかぁ~…と思っていましたが、良い感じで印象は変わりました(笑)
とても面白い方です☆やはり、類は友を選べないのだなぁ。
とあらため、実感いたしました(笑)
惇ちゃんが「すごい感性があう!!」ときゃっきゃ♪と言っていたのですが、
なるほどと、思いました(笑)
打ち上げで、サポートのさんちゃんと似ている!!
と言う話になりまして、確かに兄弟のようでした(笑)
お次はBの玉ちゃんです。僕は馴れ馴れしくも、
すでにそう呼ばせて頂いています(苦笑)
僕の目には彼がこのバンドで、唯一まともな、癒し系キャラに見えました(笑)
大人しい方でして、クール??と思っていましたが、癒し系です!!
打ち上げ二次会はカラオケだったのですが、声も癒し系でした!!
悠君が「性格は声にもでるんだねぇ!!」と言っていまして、まったくだ!
と思いました(笑)
何だか読書家なようで、一度ゆっくり本について話してみたいかただなぁ、
と思いました。優しい感じの方で、話し方もふんわりとした方でした☆
そして、サポートのさんちゃんについては、まぁ、今更語る事もないです(笑)
まぁ、打ち上げで、惇ちゃんが「さんちゃん、可愛いよ!!」とか
「子悪魔だよね」と言っていましたが、それだけは此処で否定させていただきます!
可愛いなんてもんじゃないですよ!子悪魔!?いや、奴は悪魔です(笑)
といいながらも、僕の天敵なだけであって、ほかの方やお客さんには、
礼儀正しい奴なので、皆様ご安心を…(笑)
奴をあまり誉めたくはないのですが(笑)、本当、礼儀正しい奴だと思います。
と、Jenivaのメンバーさんについて、僕の勝手な見解を語らせていただきましたが
こんな面白い人の集まりはないと思うので、
どうぞ是非、一度ライブにお越しくださいまし☆
そしてこれは前編です!後編はライブの様子、
曲についって勝手に語らせて頂きたいと思います。
May 20th at Okubi HotShot, at last, I went to my long awaited first Jeniva live!!
My thoughts!! I was able to do this~!!! Yes, I’ll add them to these brief comments (lol).
‘’We are Jeniva, (vo) Sono, (ky) Junna (B) Sakuya (Dr) Yu and our guitarist
is my natural enemy sanchan from Ancient Myth but he’s doing the support. Apparently we’re recruiting a guitarist now.
I’m the vocalist, Sono-chan, I got to know Yu-kun during our time studying and I was together with him in a previous
metal band, and if I had to express us in one word, we’re like a middle-aged couple (laughs).’’ ※ Complementary explanation, the husband (Sono-chan), the wife (Yu-kun)(lol)
Firstly, because I’ve been allowed to participate since the beginning, I’ll draw up my impressions of the members according to my own selfish opinions…
The vocalist is Sonochan hmm~I got to get close to him but for the lives he attached these long dreadlock extensions
and looking at him now he became someone I don’t quite understand (lol)
The vocalist of a certain band (Boku no Bara no Kimi ・笑・) is a devotee of Sonochan’s (lol)
I think he/she came with the staff this time or something because
after the live ended I heard the screaming of
‘’his nape~☆ Sonochan’s nape…!!’’(lol)
And what the hell, the keyboardist leader of that certain band said ‘’It’s a heavenly nymph!! No...Pimiko*!!’’ at the moment I met with her,
it was a cute, bit of an air-headed display. (lol)
I talked a bit to the captain of that band and
apparantly Sonochan is the embodiment of pheromones…(lol)
and once again, in secret, I thought
‘’he’s a bit of a mystery to me too…’’ (lol)
He’s this kind of a weird person but he’s a good person. He’s kind. If you’re interested and would be so kind to go to a
live, without being taken aback by your prejudices, please try and have a chat with him (lol) Because he’s a gentleman in essence (lol)
Next up is the drummer Yu-kun. if I had to explain him in one word, it’s TSUTOMU!!
(The guy from Yazawa’s ‘’Gokinjo Monogatari’’ ・笑・) Mmh, in the end it’s just at first glance… (lol)
He’s a refreshing, nice young man! He has a nice smile and is a social person!
He’s the easiest to start a conversation with (lol)
However, the 20th of May was a shame because it rained, (moreover, there was a typhoon!) what do you do about it,
this guy seems to cause rain wherever he goes (lol) Aah, I do like the rain so,
I’d love to trade with this guy who seems to hate it…(lol)
Well, I don’t know if it’s ok if I let this out here but (lol)
To tell the truth, when I get close to people, I like to treat them cruelly while having my bright smile (lol)
I’m this kind of brightly smiling demon child and yet (lol)
He’s this very considerate, kind oniisan.
Next is the keyboardist Junna. I got to talk to him at the end of the live but I actually met with him before at that
certain band’s concert and
I thought he seemed like a calm person but my impression of him was changed (lol)
He’s a really cool person☆Also, he doesn’t seem to pick his friends based on what kind of people they are.
Again, this is how I really think (lol)
Junchan had said ‘’He’s super sensitiveee!!’’ and kyakkya♪**, and I thought ‘’I see what you mean’’(lol)
At the end there was this talk of how he really looks like the support member, they really seem like siblings (lol)
Next is the bassist Tamachan. No matter how familiar I get with him
it’ll be too late and I’ll call him by that name (bitter smile)
In my eyes he looks like the one most honest and soothing character of the whole band (lol)
He’s a docile person and, calm?? is what I thought but, he’s soothing!!
At the end the afterparty was a karaoke, even his voice is soothing!!
Yu-kun said (his personality even shows in his voice!!’’ and I thought it really does! (lol)
He looks like the kind of person who’d be able to talk really calmly about a book as if he were a writer himself. He’s
a kind person and his way of talking was gentle too☆
Now, as for the support member, I have nothing to say about him yet at this point in time (lol)
Aah, at the end, Junchan said (sanchan, so cute!!’’ and ‘’you’re such a demon child, aren’t you’’ but he’s really wrong about that!
He’s not cute at all! Demon child! No, that guy is the devil (lol)
Although I say that, he’s just my enemy but to the other guys and visitors he’s a courteous guy so, you can calm
down… (lol)
I don’t really want to praise this guy but (lol) I think he’s a really courteous guy.
Now, about the members of Jeniva, I’ve told you my selfish opinions but,
because I don’t think there’s any other group of such interesting people,
Please, definitely go to a live of these guys once☆
And this was the first half! Next I think I’ll talk about
the way the live was and the songs from my own perspective.
*Translator’s note: Pimiko (or Himiko) (reigned 189 CE-248 CE) was the Queen of Yamato (the old kingdom of Japan) during the Yayoi period. She was recorded in ancient Chinese history for her tributary relationship with the Cao Wei kingdom. Allegedly she was chosen by the people as a ruler after a long period of war within the Wa kingdom (Japan). She was famous for her practice of magic and according to the Chinese sources used it to bewitch her own people. The sources also state that she had one thousand female attendants and only one male attendant who brought her food and served as the medium between her and the people.
