【建国記念の日に寄せて】雅楽朗誦『紀元節』“Kigensetsu”〜 National Foundation Day

 　本日・２月11日「建国記念の日」に寄せて「雅楽朗誦」を制作。

タイトルは『紀元節』。元は唱歌を、朗読で構成。投票率が六割満たぬ選挙が終わり、冬季オリンピックで日の丸が揚がるなか、この日を迎える。これからの日本は、、、と考える一日。。。

　Today, on February 11—Japan’s National Foundation Day—I released a new piece titled “Gagaku Recitation.”

　The work is called “Kigensetsu.” It is based on an old school song, restructured as a spoken recitation. An election has just ended, with voter turnout failing to reach 60%, and the Japanese flag is being raised at the Winter Olympics as this day arrives.

　It’s a day that makes me pause and wonder—what will become of Japan from here on?
