"The Surgical Room" (Kyoka Izumi) book review

Speaking of "Azumi Inoue", she is famous for singing several theme songs for Hayao Miyazaki's animated films, and she sang "Sakura, Dance" in NHK Minna no Uta. It's a sad love song about someone who can't forget a chance encounter and will carry that feeling with her for the rest of her life...

♪ It's sad because I was young

A burning face deep in my eyes

The short story "The Surgery Room" is very similar to the situation in this song. It is the work of Kyoka Izumi. It's a love story that can be described as horrific. The main character is afflicted with an intractable disease and is brought to the hospital in such a state that she will not survive unless she undergoes a surgical operation. She is "Countess Kibune" and her surgeon is Takamine Medical Doctor. However, during this period, there were people who could never marry, even if they were medical students, and those were the people of the upper class.

She refuses an anesthetic procedure. If she was anesthetized, she was afraid to say the wrong thing. It was because she loved Takamine. She wishes to die in Takamine's arms and plunges deep into her body as if inviting Takamine's hand to operate on her.

"In the first place, these two have only met once in the past." At first glance, even though they only passed each other on the road, they left a deep impression on each other. Mrs.Kibune asks, "You don't remember me, do you?" Takamine replies,” Never forget.” She hears it, and in a sense ``joyful'' and ``obediently'' she follows the path of her death. This tragic pure love even though they saw each other's faces only once. And Takamine commits suicide on the same day, just like going after the deceased “wife”.

「外科室」（泉鏡花）

　「井上あずみ」さんと言えば、宮崎駿・アニメ映画の主題歌をいくつか歌ったことで有名ですが、彼女はNHKみんなのうたで「桜、舞う」という作品を歌っています。どんなものかと言うと、ふとした出会いが忘れられなくて、その感情を一生引きずっていく、という悲しい愛の歌なのですが・・・

♪哀しいくらい　　若かったから

瞳の奥に灼きついだ顔

この歌のシチュエーションに良く似た短編に「外科室」があります。泉鏡花の作品です。凄惨と言ってもよいラブストーリーです。主役は難病に罹り、外科的手術を受けなければ助からないといった状態で病院に運びこまれます。彼女は「貴船伯爵夫人」、執刀するのは高峰医学士。ただ、この時期、たとえ医学士と言えども、決して結婚できない存在があり、それが上流階級の人だったのですね。

　夫人は、麻酔薬の施術を拒否します。彼女は、麻酔をかけられて、あらぬことを口にすることを恐れたのです。それは・・・高峰を愛していたからなのです。彼女は高峰の腕のなかでの死を願い、執刀する高峰の手を誘うように自らの体内深く突くのです。

　そもそも、この二人、過去に一度だけ逢ったことがあるのです。一見（いちげん）、しかも道路ですれ違っただけなのですが、お互いに深い印象を残すのです。夫人は、「あなたは、私のこと、覚えてないでしょう？」と水を向けますが、高峰も「忘れるものですか」と返します。それを聞いたうえで、ある意味「嬉嬉として」また「従容として」彼女は死出の道をたどります。たった一度お互いの顔をみただけなのに、この凄惨な純愛。そして、亡くなった夫人を追うように、高峰は同日に自殺します。

Azumi Inoue - A Lost Child

A Lost Child is the sound of pain to me. It holds a special place in the svntax musical zeitgeist; its emotional weight is destructive in the right time and place. I find myself transported back to the first time I heard it in high school, driving back home at 7pm after a long and stressful work day preparing for the theatre production. On nights like these (I currently write to you at 3am), it can even wring out a few tears from me. It's a song about a mother searching for her child, from a movie about forest creatures in the country villages of Japan. It's yearning, sorrowful, and melancholy, Inoue's voice a soulful stream of light, a beacon for her loved one to search for and return to. And of course, we can't overlook Joe "Pitchfork's Greatest Composer of the 21st Century" Hisaishi, a title well-deserved as he employs flutes, ocarinas, and harps to give Inoue's voice a bed of clouds to drift on top of. Everyone else shut up from this point on; this is officially one of the best songs of all time.

red valley season 3 prediction: A few weeks into being awake, Warren in a while you were hypersleeping-esque segment starts looking into some of Gordon's life with what knowledge and audio logs/diaries he has on hand. He manages to scrounge together a list of some of Gordon's favorite movies, and when documenting his finds, Warren explains that he's watched just about all of them already. That is, except for one specific movie he's only heard of once or twice. He turns off the tape dramatically, claiming he's going to watch it.

The tape comes back on and he sounds as if he's been crying, and it leads the audience to believe like oh shit, has he come to some tragic conclusion? what couldve happened to him? and then he talks for a bit longer and it becomes clear he just watched my neighbor totoro for the first time

Put you on; Laputa: Castle in the Sky (Azumi Inoue) J-pop

Animator Hayao Miyazaki's favorite pattern. A girl falling from the sky, a boy trying to rescue the girl... You saw it in "Lupin III: The Castle of Cagliostro". Azumi Inoue suited the Miyazaki anime of this period. However, she is not a singer that can be described only by that.

Joe Hisaishi was in charge of most of the music for Studio Ghibli works such as Miyazaki animation and Takahata animation. He's a music craftsman, and it's no surprise that he's producing solid, high-level movie music.

君をのせて：天空の城ラピュタ（井上あずみ）J-pop

アニメーター宮崎駿の得意パターン。少女が空から落ちてくる、少女を救出にいく少年・・・「ルパン3世：カリオストロの城」などでも見られたね。井上あずみは、この時期の宮崎アニメに似合っていた。でも、それだけの歌手ではない。

宮崎アニメ、高畑アニメなど、スタジオ・ジブリ作品の音楽は、ほとんど久石譲が担当した。音楽の職人らしく、手堅くレベルの高い映画音楽を作り出しているのはさすが。

the ending song to castle in the sky goes SO HARD you can’t even convince me otherwise
