We welcomed Daisen Ranbu at. Let’s look back on the arena-sized “festival moment” by the swordsmen and the audience, and the special time that makes you feel excited.

The opening is solemn. The main stage on the front has a large staircase in the center wide, and the crests of the swordsmen are hung on the roof, making it look like a shrine. The Dejima stage is at the end of the flower road that extends into the arena. And near a wooden boat that was placed as if it had been forgotten there, Masahide Mizushinko with a pensive face stands. The place is probably just between the equinoctial week and this bank. Is it the swordsman’s unique gaze to look at the world from the place of “neither” moment? When I noticed, I saw Taira no Masakado with a big ship in front of me! The haze up to that point is clear, and rough waves are rising. Sound is born. The air moves. A special territory, such as some ritual, dominates the stage. I can hear the voice. “This is a festival! Let’s play, let’s play together now. Now it’s the beginning of play time.”

From there, the world of festivals is full of dynamism. Along with the dashing shouts of “Dokkoi Dokkoi” and “Soya Soiya,” swordsmen dressed in festival costumes appeared one following another. Gion Matsuri, Nebuta Matsuri, Awa Odori, Acer, Yosakoi, Soran, and the medley of songs and dances that represent Japan swallow the audience like a big wave. If the swordsmen who pulled the floats of Yamaho and Konnosuke’s Nebuta parade, their hearts will go to the place of Halle at once! The swordsmen who picked up drums, folding fans, folding fans, and Naruko bounced around in a dance that adopted traditional swings, and the festival music that matched the modern sound arrangement bounced the usual shouts. , The festival will be lively. The audience is of course assisted by the “shining stick” at hand. The gorgeous appearance of the swordsmen who play the main role in the song one following another evokes a passionate feeling as if they were participating in a festival procession on a main street somewhere, and the stage and the audience smile. Become one. This exchange of energy is the real thrill of the festival.

After warming up the venue at once in the festival part, proceed to the live part consisting of sword mu numbers! From the service spirit that each performance is once in a lifetime and every stage can be enjoyed as a “festival only for that day”, we are not particular regarding fixing the members who showed at the musical performance, but the organization of the swordsman who is responsible for the performance and the selection of songs are the venue A greedy composition that responds with a set list that changes daily. From the well-developed numbers that have been repeatedly shown on the live stage up to now, to the freshest numbers that have appeared in recent works, the live part is packed with songs until the end of the time, the birth of a pair and an unexpected team for the first time, and The solo number and the shuffle because it was a live performance were hit repeatedly.

As a performance area, a rising tray was set on Dejima, and there was also a lift-type mini-stage that went up to the four corners of the arena. With a thrilling production with a height that makes it possible to look up from the bottom and confront with the same line of sight from the top, there is a device that makes you feel the presence of the swordsman up close wherever you are in the hall. .. Costumes are also live ver., Inner number ver., And battle ver. I put all the charm of the swordsmen on the stage.

It is probably the original way of the swordsman to pray for us, such as fertility of five grains, prosperity of business, family safety, and extinction of plague. The swordsmen who developed from there and said when they met “live is a form of battle in modern times” now go beyond the stance of “battle” and deliver songs and dance to many masters on this big stage. He enjoys things from the bottom of his heart. And being able to see it is also the greatest joy of each and every one of us. This is already a “happy chain”.
“Narration”, which was shown at the end of the live, is a term that slowly cools down and firmly engraves the memories of the day in the chest. The fact that “life is a never-ending battle” is by no means painful. It’s a number that hugs me that I’m not afraid to live if there is someone there who can take it without leaving the story, regardless of whether it’s a soliloquy on the palm of my hand. The chorus voices of all the swordsmen quietly approach the chest with a gospel-like sound. “Seriously Ranbu Matsuri” where you fought with the power of music (still with the strength to cut off something surely) without pulling out the sword until the very end. The return trip, both embracing the word “honor”, certainly continued to the “want to protect” future.
