^ That was super fun to listen, and I found it amusing that the time slot of this program is usually occupied by "Hoshino Gen no All Night Nippon".

~~~~~~~

I was just having a random thought after reading Maopin's block. Maybe one of the reason that the management make the girls write block is to get them practice conveying thoughts and feelings. It is a skill that does not come naturally for many people, and being able to practice in writing can probably help a lot when they have to impromptu do it on the stages and hand-shake events. Though there are always special cases like Maachan .

Hello AI talks about the new members introduced last year (up to and including Yuuki Hirayama) and which ones have her interest…



As always, make sure you have CC turned on.

Yesterday, TAKAHIRO appeared on the Hinatazaka46 Kyoko Saito Hiccorohee show "Kyoccorohee" and he provides his strange analysis about ANGERME's "Akai Earphone" performance @ Budokan
https://youtu.be/hLbxPWNfLTA?t=525

Can someone please explain what he is talking about?

[Zunu]

^ Basically I transcribed the on-screen captions and added a couple lines of dialog when I could make them out. Then I ran it through DeepL. Since a lot of it is sentence fragments, the machine translation is pretty janky, but you can make out the meaning. I tried to clean it up a bit, convert some pronouns when it was obviously wrong, definitely made a few wrong guesses, typos, etc.

今回、TAKAHIRO先生に解説してもらう曲はアンジュルムの赤いイヤホン

G　私この曲大好き！２０２１年


この曲はー言でイメージで言うとすると鶏です。

鶏？

トサカに来てるぜ

さらにもっと言うとただの鶏じゃない、戦う鶏。軍鶏

軍鶏とは一体どういうこと？

先生の解説で解明してきましょう

あぁ足元から入ってきました

どうなる？

横向いた

開幕ホイミきた。。どん！ゆきなり髪の毛が

（ホイミ）
お互いの顔を見ることで体力回復

やばいですよ　　いいですね　足元が来た　　からの？

しっかりカメラをめてくるのか？

決めた

歌う　　表情作った

パッと左でウインク

ちゃんと音に乗せています

からの？
音パッとはめていく

しかも音の終わりで目線をはめていく感じいいですね

わかい娘もいるんですね

目戦をしっかりいろいろな所にずらしていく

あぁ今の娘良かった

ディロフォサウルスみたいな動き

恐竜でエリマキトカゲみたいに襟がふぃや～なるですよ

ピシャーって毒を出す

何かって表情を作ったときに音の取り方が大きく見えるように一瞬マイクをパパって手を開く

そのテクニックって凄く無地かしいんですけれども

大人一番早いところでわっってて
ディロフォテクニック

ポイント＊マイクを持つ手開く事でより音の取り方を大きく見えることができる＊

若い娘もできている

非常にスゴイです

からのサビどうなる？

G：　皆若い

どう来る？

あぁ　しかもサビでアイソレーションっていう

実力がないとできない動きアイソレサビって中々ヤバいですね

胸のー部分を動かす
顔は動かさない
そういう使い方です
顔も動くし、体も動くところ
初めの一個の音のバンっていう

ヒット：筋肉を瞬間に収縮させてすぐに力を抜くこと腕が弾けるように見える

顔をできるだけ動かさないようにして
アイソレーション：体の１力所だけを動かして他の場所は固定する事でより動きを強調できる

おとを連動してますよ
目戦どんどん色んな所に入れてくる
さぁどうする？
左をウインクだろ？
右のウインク！？
普通にパフォーマンスをしていてウインクをすろ時って同じ側になってしまう
意図的に右と左を使い分けている
ポイント：振りの中で表情を作りながらリズムに乗り左右でウインクを巣路のはかなり難しい
非常に高度テクニック
あのキラキらの人かなり軍鶏てますよ
しかも軍鶏って言ってたけど靴底の厚さが違うんです

鶏は鶏冠が大きければ大きいほど強いといわれる

彼女たちに鶏冠と思う所は足元です。
若手だと思うメンバー　→靴底が薄い
ダンスが上手いと思うメンバー　→靴底が厚い

スゴイ難しい厚底を履いているメンバー
つまり鶏冠キング
鶏冠クイーンがちゃんとこの…何を言っているんだ俺は
最後できるか？
さぁ誰だ誰だだれだNo.1の軍鶏クイーンに輝くんだ

この３人が優勝ですね

軍鶏３人娘

あなたは軍鶏クイーンだ！

本当か？他にもっといい人がいるのか？
さぁどうだ？的確に決めていく２方向見た
ちゃんとファンの事考えている嬉しいぞ
赤い糸の音が、赤い糸（音を）全部取ってくる
あなたも軍鶏クイーンになれるかもしれない
さぁー最後誰が来る？
さぁ～誰が軍鶏クイーンになる
すっごい迷っちゃう
誰にする？
最後音取りどうする？最後決めた軍鶏クイーン来た～！笠原さんに決めた～！
あなたが軍鶏クイーンに決定です

＊笠原桃菜＊

この武道館の会場でファンの人と全力の戦いをしながら全部の場所を見ながらしかも音も感じ見ながら自分のオリジナリティも居ながらメンバー事も感じていた。

＊笠原さんを選出した理由：観客への目線や音の取り方振り付けのオリジナリティさらにメンバーの事も把握していた＊

笠原ですよ！そりゃ軍鶏クイーン

This time, Takahiro-sensei will be explaining the song "Red Earphones" by Angstrom.

Studio: I love this song!


If I had to describe this song in words, I'd say it's about chickens.
Chicken?
The cockscomb is coming out.
It's not just a chicken, it's a fighting chicken. A game fowl.
What the heck does "game fowl" mean?
Let's go figure it out with an explanation.
Oh, you can see it in the feet.
What happening now?
They're turned sideways.
It's the opening whammy. What? I've got snowball's worth of hair.
They'll recover their strength by looking at each other's faces.
Not sure what she's gonna do.
Is she going to get a good look at the camera?
She's got it.
Singing, making facial expressions.
A quick wink to the left.
She's in sync with the sound.
And then?
She's going to fit it to the sound.
And I like the way she put her eyes at the end of the note.

They're young girls, too?
I like the way they shifts the eyes to different places.

Oh, that girl was good.
She moves like a Dilophosaurus.
It's a dinosaur, and its collar is like a frilled lizard.
It's like a dinosaur with a collar that flies up like a lizard.

When she makes a facial expression, she opens her hand to the microphone for a second so that the sound can be heard more clearly.

That technique is very innocent, though.
This technique is very simple, but it's the fastest way for adults to learn.

Dilophonic Technique
Point* Opening the hand holding the microphone makes the sound capture look bigger*.

Young girls can do it too.

It's very amazing!

Studio: What's going to happen to the chorus?
Studio: They're all young.

How do they come?

Oh, and the isolation in the chorus.

You have to be really good to be able to do that.

Move the chest part.
Don't move your face.
That's how you use it.
The face moves, the body moves.
The first note is called "bang.

Hit: to contract the muscle instantly and then relax it immediately so that the arm looks like it's going to pop.

She tries not to move her face as much as possible.
Isolation: moving only one part of the body and keeping the other parts fixed to emphasize the movement.

She's interlocking the eyes.
She's going to start putting her eyes in different places.
What now?
Wink to the left, right?
Wink on the right?
When she's doing a normal performance and winking, it's always on the same side.
She's intentionally using the right and left.
Point: It is quite difficult to wink on both sides of the stage while making facial expressions in the movement.
Very advanced technique.
That sparkling individual is just like a game fowl.
And although I said she was a game fowl, the soles of her shoes aren't the right thickness.

It is said that the bigger the chicken's crown, the stronger it is.

The part of the girls that I think is the chicken crown is their feet.
Members who think they are young → thin soles
Members who think they are good dancers →Thick soles

A member who wears thick soles, which is very difficult.
In other words, the chicken crown king.
I'm not sure what I'm talking about.
Can you finish?
Who's going to be crowned the number one chicken queen?

These three are the winners.

Three chicken girls.

You're the chicken queen!

Really? Who else could it be?
What do you think? I'm glad you're thinking about your fans.
I'm glad you're thinking about your fans.
I'm so glad you're thinking about your fans. The sound of the red string will get all the red strings.
I'm glad you're thinking about your fans.
Who's coming last?
Who's going to be the Rooster Queen?
I'm so confused.
Who will it be?
How about the last note? Here comes the chicken queen! I've decided on Kasahara-san!
You're the chicken queen!

Momona Kasahara.

In this Budokan venue, she fought with the fans as hard as she could, looking at all the places, feeling the sound, and feeling her originality as well as the members.

The reason why I chose Kasahara: She was able to look at the audience, capture the sound, choreograph the originality, and understand the members.

It's Kasahara! That's the queen of the game fowl!

[Amped]

LOL I get the jist of it. The chicken part is too funny.
