蓮田善明『陣中詩集(昭和十五年)』を読む/Reading Hasuda Zenmei's Poems from "The Battlefield (1940)"

   YouTubeで浜崎洋介氏が出演する『プライムニュース』の「今なぜ三島由紀夫を語るべきなのか」前編を視聴し、遅ればせながら、蓮田善明(1904–1945)の壮絶な死を知った。これに触発され、『陣中詩集』から四篇を朗読し、動画を制作した。   今回はBGMと効果音をふんだんに使ってみた。   I hope you like it! 【参考動画】 浜崎洋介×柴山桂太】今なぜ三島由紀夫を語るべきなのか 2025/12/19放送<前編>【BSフジ プライムニュース】  While watching the YouTube video “Why Should We Talk About Yukio Mishima Today?” (Part 1), featuring Yosuke Hamasaki on BS Fuji’s Prime News, I learned, rather belatedly, about Hasuda Zenme (1904–1945), who met a tragic and violent end. Inspired by the discussion, I decided to create a poetry video featuring readings of four poems from his Poems from "The Battlefield(1940)".  This time, quite for me, I made extensive use of background music and sound effects.  I hope you like it! 【Reference Video】 Yosuke Hamasaki × Keita Shibayama BS Fuji, Prime News “Why Should We Talk About Yukio Mishima Today?” (Part 1) Broadcast on December 19, 2025 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZVWPoEug5kI

poem & reading by POETAQ


Drink too much, and you’ll be Royal.

You’ll make speeches like a hero, even though you’re an idiot.

And you’ll push the privileged button.

It’ll destroy your friends and also yourself.—The weapon!


Drink too much, and you’ll be a princess on the throne.

Feeling like a patron of the salon, treat men like pawns.

Then keep an eye on where they go.

Let flatterers be followed, and traitors be killed off.

  

Drink too much, and you’ll be “Godot.”

You won’t even know if you’re coming or not.

You make no difference between fiction and fact.

3D and AI - what a wonderful world.


Drink too much, and you’re a genius.

Good will turn to evil and evil to good.

Angels turn into devils, and devils turn into angels.

In other words, you’ll go up to hell.


Drank too much!
