Chuo-ku, drawn by the melody of Yuji Koseki
Hello. I'm looking forward to the NHK morning drama "Ale", RIEdel is working hard every morning and crawling out of the futon.
Currently, it is only rebroadcast due to the influence of the new coronavirus, but with the hope that shooting will resume as soon as possible, this time, among the songs made by Yuji Koseki, who became the model of "Ale", I would like to introduce two songs set in Chuo-ku.
The theme song of the movie "Dream Light Tokyo" born from a series of radio dramas
"Dream Light Tokyo" is the theme song of the movie "The Five Musics" released in June 1947. Lyrics are Hachiro Sato and composed by Yuji Koseki.
The willow of Ginza swaying along Nishi Ginza Street (Sotobori-dori St.)
Beginning with the lyrics "The day when the swallow flies to Ginza" on a light rhythm and a little sad melody, it tunes brightly in the middle of the song, "Kasumi is the roof of the spring blue sky brightly St. Luke's?" Speaking of 1947, it was only two years since the end of the war. Ginza was devastated by air raids, so the large buildings were not as forested as it is now, and you may have been able to see St. Luke's Hospital in Akashicho.
Currently, I can't see the building of St. Luke's International Hospital from the center of Ginza (Ginza 4-chome intersection), but if you go to Showa-dori, you can see St. Luke's Tower.

The theme song of the movie of the original passing drama "Sukiyabashi Elegy"
"Sukiyabashi Elegy" is one of the theme songs created when the popular radio drama was turned into a movie.
The stage of the movie "Your Name" is Japan during the war. Men and women who helped each other in the Tokyo air raid in May 1945 are about to reunite at Sukiyabashi six months later, but they are at the mercy of fate and repeat passing each other.

The lyrics of the theme song "Sukiyabashi Elegy" are Kazuo Kikuta, who wrote the original (radio drama). In the rain, the lyrics depicting a person waiting for someone just on Sukiya Bridge, and the slow and sad melody of Yuji Koseki express the pure love and sadness of the main characters, Machiko and Haruki. Expressing.
