音時雨 ～Regentropfen～

Now it is time to moon-enjoying! If in which your place it has a clear night, you can go out and look up the beautiful moon; and to feeling its wonder.
Although the moon is only one, in my mind there are lots of moods when I look the moon in the entire year’s time. Moon-enjoying is a traditional act of autumn; for the moon is the most beautiful in the period, is not it? Think the autumn nights, how clear, silent, and cold they are.
You may remember something if you are looking at such a moon: delight or unhappy, good or bad, noisy or silent, hopeful or despaired…
In the late summer or the early autumn, when cool wind flows by and waves your hairs and kisses your face, and if you stay under the moonlight, you can find everything has sink into quiet deeply. No matter you are only one or with someone together, there are different feelings which lie on what a state you are.
Well, everyone, walk out from your noisy routings and to enjoy the silently shining moon now!

Here I also want to introduce a song to you everyone: “moon child”.
No any nonsense, I only want you can listen to it when moon-enjoying. The song is a rearranged version of the cognominal BGM from television animation “AIR”. The original BGM is Kanna’s theme. And the rearranged song, which sung by Lia, is loner and quieter. To read its lyric, you can also feel out the special loneness of “AIR”.

今そろそろお月見ですね。皆様のいるところのお天気がよかったら、夜に庭へ出てきて、お月様を見られたらきっと素晴らしいでしょう。
月はたった一つだけですけど、私は一年中、四季折々だと感じています。伝統的な名月は秋の行事の一つです。この頃のお月様は最もきれいなのですから。そうじゃありませんか？秋の空は特に澄み渡って、静かで冷たがっていますから。
そんなお月様を見る誰も、何かの光景を思い出せます。楽しいこと悲しいこと、いいこと悪いこと、賑やかなこと静かなこと、希望されたこと失望されたこと…とか。
晩夏、或は早秋の涼風が傍を吹き渡って、髪をゆらして、そして頬をキスしたとき、もし自分はきれいな月明かりの下で居たら、心から体中までも深く沈んだような気がします。一人でも二人でもみんな一緒でも、それぞれの月見から素敵な味わいがあるのが決まっています。
さあ、皆様、にぎわう日常から抜け出して、高くやわらかく照らしていくお月様を見に行きましょう！

ここはまた、「月童」という詩を皆様にご紹介して差し上げたいんです。
余計なことを言わずに、ただは皆様が月見するときに、この歌を聴いて欲しいんです。この歌はテレビアニメ『AIR』からのBGM、神奈のテーマとしての同名曲の再編曲されたものです。このLiaさんが歌っている『月童』は、原曲よりもっと寂しくて静かです。歌詞をよく読んだら、『AIR』からの特有な切なさを感じられます。

Tomorrow I will on my way to back to college at last; I had a very happy two-month summer holiday. Now it is the second semester, I wish I could have a happy semester too. Fermentation engineering and two experiments; it sound very interesting. For the sake, I think it will be another busy semester like my last one (then I had 13 courses), and I may cannot blogging so much. However, if there is something valuable to write, I will also blogging; because I love blogging very much!
Well, I wish I could enjoy my last college course and the two experiments. For I had been waiting before summer holiday, so I will not to do anything could make me despair.

明日いよいよ大学に帰りますよね、この二ヶ月の夏休みはとてもとても嬉しく楽しく過ぎました。これからの二学期に、私も楽しく過ぎたいんです。発酵工学と二つの実験、面白そうですね。その上、先学期のような忙しく（授業１３つ）なるのも決まっていますから、ブログ書きなんてもきっとよく出来ないらしいです。でも、本当に書く価値があったらやっぱりブログを書きます。だって、私はブログに遊ぶのが大好きですから。
では、大学期間最後の授業と、実験室の嬉しさをちゃんと楽しんでいきましょう！夏休み前にもそう期待してきたのですから、自分を失望にするのを絶対にしませんように！

I watched opera “Carmen” the fourth time recently. I love this opera and I ever saw 3 versions, in every version I have seen, I love this version best:
Conducted by JAMES LEVINE
Carmen -- AGNES BALTSA
Micaëla -- LEONA MITCHELL
Don José -- JOSE CARRERAS
Escamillo -- SAMUEL RAMEY
METROPOLITAN OPERA ORCHESTRA and CHORUS and BALLET
1988

Why I love the version best? For main actor was Carreras? Yes maybe.
Until now, the only regret is I never watch any opera in real opera house. However, I got lots of knowledge about classic music and listened them lot. So that before I watched the entire Carmen, I had loved its music very much. I can remember when and how I watched it every time even now.
The first time was in my middle school time. The local music TV channel broadcasted the opera in a Saturday midnight. In order not to noisy others, I had to turn the television down. I watched until the ending, and that day I slept in 2:30 am; maybe that also the first time I slept so late except in New Year’s days. Anyway, I was very excited.
The second time was also in my middle school time. I recorded this opera from the broadcast program. That time I sitting up late at night again. This broadcast program’s time was 23 o’clock; they divided Carmen into three parts, so I had to follow in 3 weeks. In addition, the version they broadcasted was the one I said in the beginning. However, then I only enjoyed Carmen by my tapes.
The third time was in my high school elective course. Our teacher introduced the opera and played its video to us. It was that version! I watched its video at last! After the class, I pleased my teacher to lend the video to me, he did.
The fourth time, of course few days before, I watched Carmen once again. I watched this opera and found my memories about it. It is happy and excited. Now I only own three VCDs of Carmen, maybe I will buy a DVD when they bad.
In that version, everything was splendid, scenes, lighting, dancing, music and singers. Bizet’s music felled with gypsy impression; the impression flows in every piece of music. That performance was so successful: the famous actors, gorgeous scenes, wonderful dances and harmonic choruses, everything.
That do is real classic composition! Every time after I watched it, I always emote so.
