#Past Recordings #Reprinted #Nishida Toshiyuki #In Memoriam #Marukaichi Cafe #jimamaru #Toki no Naka Jima #jimamaru 1981 Lyrics by Aku Yuu Music by Sakata Koichi Ikenaka Genta 80 Kilo Theme song ⭐A long time ago, In our house... There was an electric organ (KAWAI's) that my older brother was learning to play. When he was in elementary school, he skipped organ lessons, and even back then he started buying snacks with his monthly tuition money, so it seems he was no good at it... And so... Since then, the electric organ has been left alone, and if I were to touch it as an object → I would be punished with the fierce iron fist 👊💢 My older brother hated his younger brother who tried to surpass him in everything (or seemed to be able to do it) 💦 In particular, my brother's feelings towards keyboard instruments were such that if he heard even the faintest sound of any of the keyboard instruments in our house, such as the electric organ that he couldn't play, the melodica that we naturally had, or the accordion that I inherited from my uncle, he would get angry and yell at me and give me violent punishment 👊💢 (My brother and I are six years apart in age, so naturally there is a difference in our physical builds 💦) Because of this, I too have a trauma of being "scolded", and the best I could do was touch the piano 🎹 a little in junior high school 💦 ⭐When I was in the second year of junior high school (I was actually quite a delinquent boy), I had a normal friend (what we would call a nerd today), and I played his older sister's guitar and was taught by my friend, and that's how I got started on the guitar... No, we had a guitar in our house too! A guitar with four strings💦 My father used to play this guitar when he was young (it had a crow mark on it...I remember!), but even with this guitar, the sound it couldn't make was right, the four strings were rotten, and the guitar was broken in places, so my brother and father would complain to me, saying, "You're a naughty fool💢"... My mother, who saw me strumming that four-string guitar every day, bought me a gut guitar for 9,800 yen in the second semester of my third year of junior high school, when I was still behaving badly✨ ⭐I'll say it again...I was actually quite a delinquent boy (I was called a bad boy at school who didn't hang out with others (lol) and I still don't like to hang out with others), but I was given a guitar that made sound, and I was forced to join the choir club in junior high school, where I could touch the piano🎹, and I was forced to join the choir club, and it seems that I was able to escape being a delinquent✨🎵 (I've even appeared on TV twice! In a choir competition lol) ⭐When "If I Could Play the Piano" came out, I was in high school...I had joined a local choir and had finally gotten myself a folk guitar (by this time, they must have given up, as not only did my brother and father stop saying anything, they had become part of the audience lol, and so did my mother 🎵). And I was surrounded by piano 🎹 masters, and trendy synthesizer experts, both men and women? There were quite a few of them (laughs). Even so, I tried practicing the piano🎹 a few times, but I still had a trauma about keyboard instruments and couldn't play it well💦 ⭐There were a lot of people who played the guitar, but I didn't give up on the guitar because I wrote original songs, entered contests, and received a fair amount of praise❓ ⭐"If only I could play the piano" I still think that... Even now... I want to play, but... even though I don't have an older brother or father anymore, I still have a trauma about keyboard instruments💦 ⭐I also have a trauma about the guitar somewhere, but I think my mother, who believed in me and bought me a guitar (she bought me three in total), was the only one who understood me✨🎵 ⭐From now on, until I go to heaven, I will always focus my thoughts on the guitar, and I want to sing as long as I can✨🎵 ⭐️For now... Jima-san is strongly supporting me, so I will keep singing and playing forever, deep in my heart❗️😎 ⭐️This is a reprint of a past recording, but I paid tribute to Toshiyuki Nishida. May he rest in peace.
