サヨナラCOLOR

千穂が映画の話をしていたので、好きな映画。

優しく、ちょっとした場面などが、強く心に残る。人の裏表、誠実さ、生きがいというのが何なのかをしっかりと描いていると思います。2005年のナンバーワン作品です。

「サヨナラCOLOR」
I've never seen a Japanese movie quite like this before. The film seeks to open the deepest human emotions in the most ordinary events in life. His works are a demonstration of the significance and relevance of emotions to the restless, captive, and tormented individuals of everydayness of our existence and relationship between constraint and freedom. This Takenaka's film made me see the mirror that reflects the depth of human feelings and thoughts. The impression of death is not always necessary to be understood as the negative aspects of life. That represents a lot more positive thinking to live than we can expect from a man ready to die at the same time. This is where Takenaka’s masterful touch comes in directing the role of art to discover, question, and expose these feelings and thoughts. Takenaka is just trying to present the death and darkness of negative aspects in life beautifully but very simple. As is always the case with Takenaka, the innovative use of images makes the merely tools for articultruing new kind of contents I have never seen. And sound is just as important as image. His use of sound image counter point in the scene, where lively music contrasts with dying dark mood is really meaningful to the situation. I really think the movie is directed to feel reality very well. Conversation in the film includes great concerns of people's feelings. The background is beautifully but tightly connected to the story to involve the audience in the story and to give us a sense of reality. Although there are many empty spaces where spectators can fill in and make a prediction. Takenaka allows the viewer to take imagination, which will make ordinary life more bearable, as we are more like our dreams than we are our real lives. This movie is very close to the nature and I feel it very close to me. In the way, Takenaka is wishing for something brighter. Finally his movie look to me to be searching to communicate and dream until he changes real life or he ends the spiritual journey from darkness to conform his freedom. Highly recommended!

そしてハナレグミ。ソングライティング力、アナログ的な音、滋味溢れるアコースティックサウンド、シンプルなのに、ものすごく奥が深い。最高です。
最近、ギターを弾くときはいつも、ハナレグミです。邦楽アーティストでここまで好きなったのはこのハレグミだけです。沖縄でのライブの後、打ち上げにも参加させてもらって、CINEMA dub MONKS 、SKA69と朝までセッションをしていました（佐藤の"兄貴"に感謝です!!!!!!!!!）。本当に音楽が好きな人（たち）です。影響を受けた音楽のバックグラウンドが同じなので、選曲も最高、いい夜でした。また行きたいです。

そして今気になっているのが、Maldonの塩。フレーク状の塩で、よくわかんないけどsea salt。世界の一流シェフに愛され、支持されているみたいです。どこで買えるか知ってる人、教えて下さい。
