On such a very interesting day on May 20th, our familiar band and band once again came to Shanghai to hold a personal concert called “yanaginagi live tour 2018 natte in Shanghai” at the Dream Theater in Bandung South Dream Palace, Shanghai. . .
Before the concert started, Anitama was fortunate to be invited to interview Miss Yan again. After a year, what new stories can she share with you? .
——First of all, I am very glad that Miss Yan can return to Shanghai to meet with you this year. This tour concerts under the name of NATTE has been successfully held in all parts of Japan including Taiwan. So why? Can the name of NATTE be shared with fans? .
やなぎなぎ . . . . . . The word “natte” firstly has the meaning of “gathering things together” in Japanese. (The original text is 綯う, 搓 and 捻, she gave an example of 縄を綯う, literal translation is捻 Rope), because this is an album that combines the “treasures” that I think are important to me. The “sounding” (sounding) that expresses the sound and the “なって” (なる) that indicates growth are also the pronunciation of “natte”, so it can be said that the word “natte” carries a lot of what I want to express. Idea. .
——This album that has been selected for the previous singles, if you pick a song as the main recommendation, which one will you choose? .
やなぎなぎ If you want to pick one, maybe I will choose Mr. Ze Beichuan as the composer of the “Night of the Night” (provisional translation: collecting the light of dawn) recommended to you. .
——The songs related to animation in the album are still quite a lot, from “Just Because” which depicts the story of youthful love story to “The Legend of the Gods”, which is a new chapter in the classic animation. What kind of adjustment? .
やなぎなぎ Because for myself, animation works often give more inspiration to themselves, so every time you hold each piece of work, you have the idea of belonging to its unique charm, which is also for yourself. Very positive challenge. And these songs have finally become a very important part of myself, and I am very happy to be included in such an album. .
——If you have time, will you watch the animation of the song you are responsible for? In the last interview, Miss Yan mentioned that she likes the animation “Flower Unknown”. Is there any work that impressed me recently? .
やなぎなぎ Will see. Generally, there will still be regular video recordings, and wait until you have a certain number of words to watch together. Recently, I was more addicted to the “swaying camping”. I saw the girls hiking, but it was very interesting. .
——This concert was really on the day of May 20th. For the singer who has sung a lot of songs related to the theme of “love”, is there any advice for you in love? .
やなぎなぎ Love… It’s better to say that I also want to fall in love (laughs). There may be no way to give you very specific suggestions, but if you listen to my songs, feel touched inside, or get some encouragement and courage to get out of that crucial step, then it must be very beautiful. It is also a very happy thing for me. .
——That said, if you want to listen to a song that has been revamped from a broken love, which one will Miss Yan recommend? .
やなぎなぎ Re-energize… Can you really cheer up? (laugh). This time I would like to say, I really should listen to some of the more intense, POP songs, let me recommend, I should choose “Spring Festival” (“My youth love story really has problems continued “OP theme song”. .
——Missing Ms. Yu will have more challenges waiting for herself this year, in addition to trying more styles and continuing to make my own albums as always, it is the idea of creating stories, what do you have for live and cross-border cooperation? New ideas? .
やなぎなぎRegarding Live, we are planning to hold a five-day Live event in Japan in November of this year. Because it may have been sung for two days before, it is the first time for me to continue performing for five consecutive days, and we plan to use different instruments every day, so we have to do it with different instruments every day. Cooperation, for me, the November event should be my biggest challenge this year. .
——Thanks to Miss Yan for accepting our interview.
