富山きときと空港にストリートピアノが設置されます。

A street piano will be installed at Toyama Kitokito Airport.

その記念式典が開催されるとのことで家族で行ってきました。

I went there with my family because I heard that a commemorative ceremony would be held there.

本当はストリートピアノを子供たちにさわらせたかったのですが、

それ以上の驚きがありました。

Actually, I wanted to let the children touch the street piano, but there was an even bigger surprise.

最高でした。

It was the best.

式典の内容 Contents of the ceremony

式典のパンフレットを見ると5つ書いてありました。

When I looked at the ceremony pamphlet, there were five things written on it.

There was a picture drawn on the piano, and at first glance I guessed it was an amazing piece of work.

2.学生さん演奏 Student performance

演奏に合わせて先生と生徒1名ずつで歌を歌っていました。

During the performance, there was a performance of Yuzu’s ”Eiko no Kashihashi,” and the teacher and one student each sang along with the performance.

先生は仕事やからいいとして、生徒はほぼボランティアみたいなものなので

追加で1名か2名追加招集してあげればよかったのにと思いました。

Being a teacher is fine because it’s his job.

Since the students volunteer on their days off, I think they didn’t like it.

I thought it would have been better to have brought in one or two additional people.

Next was a piano performance by someone famous.

息子がぐずったので聞けてませんが、

サプライズありました There was a surprise

後述します。

I will explain later.

サプライズゲスト登場 Surprise guest appearance

なんとハラミちゃんです。

It’s Harami-chan.

正直存じ上げておりませんでした。

To be honest, she didn’t know.

あとから妻に聞いてかなり有名人と知りました。

I later learned from her wife that she was quite famous.

知らなかったですが、ピアノめっちゃすごい。

I didn’t know about her, but she’s an amazing piano player.

素人の私でもすごいと思うぐらいすごいです。

It’s so amazing that even I, an amateur, think it’s amazing.

He seems to have a soft demeanor and is extremely likable.

その場でリクエストも聞いてまして

相当レベル高い人なのだろうと推測です。

リクエストのディズニーメドレーと

男の子が来てたTシャツを見ての即興のマリオメドレー、

それとANAオーケストラのコラボ最高でした。

She did a requested Disney medley, an improvised Mario medley after seeing the boy’s T-shirt, and the collaboration with the ANA Orchestra was amazing.

なかなか会えないと思うのでyoutube見ます。

I don’t think I’ll be able to meet her very often, so I’m going to watch her on YouTube.

富山の名物を食べてほしい I want you to try Toyama’s specialties.

せっかく富山に来たのだから

名物食べてほしいですね。

Since she came all the way to Toyama, I hope she can try the specialty food.

魚やます寿司、ホタルイカ、白エビ、昆布締めの刺身、ゲンゲなど。

Fish and Masu sushi, firefly squid, white shrimp, konbujime sashimi, astragalus, etc.

ます寿司は作るところによって味が様々で富山県人でも意見が分かれます。

The taste of Masu sushi varies depending on where it is made, and even people from Toyama Prefecture have different tastes.

何度か通って好きなとこ見つけるのも楽しみの一つになるかと思います。

I think it will be fun to visit several times and find a place you like.

ブラックラーメンは好き嫌いがあります。私は嫌いです。

I don’t like black ramen. I hate it.

ハムカツは県外のお客さんも喜ばれます。分厚いです。

The ham cutlet is also enjoyed by customers from outside the prefecture. It’s thick.

かまぼこは板ついてません。飾りかまぼこはお土産に最適です。

Kamaboko does not come with a board. Decorated kamaboko are perfect as souvenirs.

のどぐろは石川の方が有名ですが、漁場は一緒なので富山の方が安く食べられます。

Ishikawa is more famous for Nodoguro, but since the fishing grounds are the same, you can eat it cheaper in Toyama.

バイガイの煮つけや刺身、寿司などおすすめです。

Recommended dishes include boiled fish, sashimi, and sushi.

氷見うどんは富山県人でも貰うとうれしいです。

Even people from Toyama Prefecture would be happy to receive Himi Udon.

富山で昆布おにぎりと言ったら、とろろ昆布のおにぎりが出てきます。とろろ昆布はうまし。

When you say konbu onigiri in Toyama, you will get grated yam konbu onigiri. Tororo konbu is delicious.

基本的に魚メインなので冬に来るのがベストです。

It’s best to come in the winter because it’s basically fish.

冬にもう一度来てほしいです。寒いですが・・・

I would like to come again in winter. It’s cold, but…

The music bands is quite a mystery.

Police, fire departments, self-defense forces, military, companies, etc. each have their own music bands.

Each group has a high-quality music bands.

But some people may wonder why it’s a music group.

I looked into the significance of the band.

Police, fire department, self-defense force, military

The band’s activities correspond to its mission.

There seem to be two main objectives for the mission.

・Improving the morale of members and staff

・Public relations activities

In addition to this, performances at ceremonies and other events are especially important for the Self-Defense Forces and the military.

Boosting the morale of troops and staff

I agree with this.

These people are fighting to protect peace every day, so they must be tired a lot.

Fatigue also makes your mind tired.

Music is also a way to relieve fatigue.

When I hear my favorite music or a beautiful performance, I feel like it clears my heart.

Public relations activities

I think it’s quite effective.

When you hear a wonderful performance, your likability will increase.

In between performances, we raise awareness (preventing fires and traffic accidents, etc.) and introduce our activities.

I think it’s quite effective because it comes naturally to your ears.

Ceremony performance

This is the most important mission.

It’s a situation where you can’t make a mistake.

It takes a lot of pressure.

However, they may be able to overcome this because they not only perform well but also train hard every day.

After all, they are good at playing.

Corporate music activities

This has three main roles.

·Welfare

·Public relations activities

·Social contributions

I will omit the public relations activities as they are almost the same as those introduced above.

Welfare

There are people in the world with various hobbies and preferences.

Some of them want to play, and some want to listen to them played.

This is a band prepared by the company for those people.

It also helps boost morale and has many positive effects.

Social contributions

We perform for local people, hospitals, nursing homes, etc.

I will perform for those people.

The larger a company is, the more important it becomes to how it contributes to society.

The role played by the music band in this is extremely important.

Sales activities and production also contribute to society, but they also have a roundabout aspect.

This means that activities that are directly impactful are emphasized.

After all, the music band is amazing.
