[Gakkou e Ikou! MAX] Meijo Marching Band (2007.01.23)
Would you all allow me to be incredibly American for a moment? ^_^;
I adore marching bands and have ever since I was a kid. I grew up across the street from my senior high school, and the marching band would practice all summer, and I would listen to them from my front porch. When they wanted to practice actually marching and playing, they'd march down our street and the neighborhood was treated to our own private parade. Aside from the music, I loved the color guard because they got to dance with beautiful, colorful flags and they'd throw plastic muskets into the air. Who wouldn't want to toss fake artillery above their heads?? It all seemed very glamorous and exciting.
So you can imagine how much I flipped out when I found this clip of Sakamoto and Nagano visiting the Nagoya Women's University High School marching band. Not only does it feature a marching band, but it puts the spotlight on a group of girls I most likely rode the morning train with every day. Way to go, ladies! Show 'em what Nagoya's got! ^o^
Narrator: On tonight’s “Gakkou e Ikou!,” V6 join a marching band that’s been number one in the nation
for three years straight!
[The nation’s best for 3 years running!!]
[We join and experience the marching band!]
Nagano: Good, good!
Narrator: Let’s go see the 3 time champion marching band!
Mino: Everyone, it’s time for the entrance exams*
[Note:*Junior high and senior high school students must take entrance exams to enter the schools they wish to attend.]
Mino: Let’s give it all we’ve got!
Mino: Here we go!
[Aichi Prefecture]
Staff: Hello!
Girls: Hello!
Staff: What are you into at the moment?
Girl: Club activities!
Staff: Which club?
Girl: Marching band!
Staff: Is that different than brass band?
Girl: Yes, it is!
Girl: In brass band, they are only concerned about the music and play while seated,
Girl: but we keep in mind the image of the music and express that through formations and movements while we play.
Staff: By the way, how do you rank?
Girl: We’ve been the top band in the nation for three years straight!
Staff: Three years running?!
Girl: Yes, three years running!
[Japanese students’ passion]
[Aichi Prefecture]
[Nagoya Women’s University High School]
[Key phrase]
[Nation’s best marching band for three consecutive years]
Narrator: Japan’s top band for three years straight, the Nagoya Women’s University High School marching band!
Nagano: Have you ever seen a marching band?
Sakamoto: Ah! It’s that thing, ya know…
Nagano: What’s that about?!
Sakamoto: It was in that movie called “Drumline.” It was really cool. Isn’t that what it’s like?
Nagano: Why are saying it like you’re reading a script?!
Nagano: What’s up with that?
Sakamoto: What?
Sakamoto: Nagano-san, do you know about them?
Nagano: I’ve never seen one, actually…
Sakamoto: Never?!
Nagano: No.
Sakamoto: They’re pretty awesome!
Nagano: So you have seen one?
Sakamoto: In that movie, “Drumline..”

[Instructor]
[Mr. Isao Wakiya]

[Marching Band National Competition]
[About 30 schools attend, each one the winner of their respective regional divisions.]
[The event is popular and attracts a crowd of over 6000.]
Narrator: The Marching Band National Competition is held every year in December in the Saitama Arena.
[Nagoya Women’s University High School]
[A mixed team of junior high and senior high school students entering the high school division]
[Winners of the mid-size marching band division three years running]
Narrator: Competing fiercely in the high school division, the group is actually a mixed organization composed of junior high school and senior high school students, yet they are still the winners three years in a row.
Sakamoto: Could you show us the performance that’s made you winners three times over?
Girls: Yes!
[Japan’s top marching band performs]
Narrator: With 66 members in all, this band is divided into four large sections.
Narrator: The drumline is at the heart of the rhythm.
Narrator: The brass plays the melody.
Narrator: And… the color guard dances brilliantly with a variety of props.
Narrator: Making the performance even more gorgeous is the percussion section called “the pit.”
Narrator: When combined, they give a stunning performance.
Sakamoto: Amazing!
Sakamoto: Our image of this was the world of “Rat-a-tat-tat!”
Sakamoto: We were way off!
Sakamoto: Wow, but you could get hurt, right?
Chitose: Yes.
Teacher: They do.
Sakamoto: You would!
Sakamoto: You’re dancing, and then all of a sudden a tuba hits you in the head!
Nagano: Do you practice a lot?
Chitose: Yes, we practice every day.
Nagano: How much in one day?
Chitose: If it’s an all day practice, we go from 9am until 6pm.
Nagano: Like on Sundays and such?
Chitose: Yes.
Sakamoto: You practice all that time?
Chitose: Yes, we do!
Sakamoto: Isn’t practice pretty tough?
Chitose: Yeah, it is… it’s rough, but it’s fun!
Sakamoto: It doesn’t mean anything if we come here and we’re just impressed…
Sakamoto: So we’d like to practice a little bit with you.
Nagano: I’d like to, but is it okay?
Narrator: And so…
Narrator: V6 change into their costumes and start their marching band experience!
Narrator: First up is…
[Brass]
Narrator: With thirty members in all, the brass powerfully drive the melody.
Sakamoto: SHUT UP!
Sakamoto: The brass alone are really powerful!
Nagano: They are. They have a lot of members too!
Sakamoto: How many types of instruments are there?
Teacher: There are four types.
Nagano: I’d like to hear what kind of sound they make.
Sakamoto: Me too.
Nagano: I don’t know the difference.
[Horn]
[Trumpet]
[Baritone]
Teacher: This one is the baritone.
Teacher: This is the largest and lowest, and forms the basis of the music.
Teacher: It’s the tuba!
Sakamoto: Ah, I see.
Sakamoto: If you please - ah! Wow!
[Tuba]
Sakamoto: And that’s another mature song selection there.
Nagano: Incidentally, of these four, which is the easiest to play?
Teacher: This one.
Girl: Yes.
Sakamoto: Ah, that one?!
Narrator: And so…
Narrator: V6 tries the tuba!
Sakamoto: So… essentially, how does the mouth make the sound come out?
Teacher: By vibrating your lips, the sound will come out…
Teacher: If you do that, it makes noise naturally.
Teacher: Right, right, you’ve got it.
Nagano: Good! Good! Well done! Just like that!
Nagano: You’ve got it!
Nagano: Don’t you think it’ll work?
Sakamoto: It seems like it!
Nagano: It does!
Nagano: Ok, that’s enough!
Narrator: Sakamoto tries the tuba right away.
Sakamoto: This is heavy!
Sakamoto: I don’t know what to do!
Sakamoto: I’m serious! You wanna try this?
Nagano: It seems hard!
Narrator: Nagano laughs at Sakamoto, but will he be able to do it as well?
Sakamoto: That suits you, Nagano.
Sakamoto: It really does.
Nagano: Really?
[Conch shell?]
Sakamoto: What’s with that “Puruuuu?!”
Sakamoto: Your lips!
Sakamoto: You really don’t have any talent!
Narrator: Next they try the very difficult trumpet.
Narrator: However…
Nagano: Oh! Amazing! Amazing!
Sakamoto: I did it!
Narrator: Nagano tries as well…
Sakamoto: We’re pretty awesome!
Nagano: It came out! It was clear!
Sakamoto: It did, didn’t it!
Narrator: Since the sound came out smoothly, they try a scale.
Nagano: Ah, I see.
Nagano: That sounded a little off, didn’t it?
Nagano: Do~ Re~
Sakamoto: This is really embarrassing!
Nagano: You got hung up there, just then!
Narrator: Next up, the marching band’s rhythm corps, the drum line.
Teacher: This drum is a special type used for marching bands.
Teacher: This somewhat deep one is the snare drum.
[Snare drum]
Sakamoto: Snare drum.
Teacher: Behind that are 5 people with bass drums.
[Bass drum]
Teacher: And they have tenor drums.
[Tenor drums]
Sakamoto: You don’t really look much at them while you’re playing, do you?
Girl: Right.
Nagano: Can you do it with your eyes closed?
Girl: Yes.
Nagano: Wow, that’s amazing.
Sakamoto: Seriously?!
Sakamoto: So give it a try then!
Sakamoto: Sorry to have doubted you!
Sakamoto: That’s incredible!
Nagano: We lost that one. She’s got talent.
Narrator: Now that we know the full power of these girls…
[V6 tries the drums]
Narrator: We start our practice with the snare drum!
Narrator: First we’ll learn the basic rhythm.
[Rhythm 1]
Girl: Ok!
Sakamoto: Ok!
Nagano: Ok!
[Be serious!]
Teacher: Go for the next one.
Girl: Yes!
Teacher: It gets a little more difficult.
[Rhythm 2]
Girl: Ok!
Sakamoto: Ok!
Nagano: Ok!
[Seriously!]
Sakamoto: I can’t get it!
Nagano: I don’t know where the accent is!
Narrator: After that, they try different instruments in the pit.
Narrator: V6 experience what it’s like in the marching band!
Sakamoto: This is nice!
Nagano: It is!
Narrator: Lastly, we have the color guard livening up the band with their colorful performances!
Nagano: I’m going to twirl it!
Nagano: Ok!
Nagano: That went pretty high, didn’t it!
Sakamoto: You did your best just then!
[Fear.]
Narrator: Scared by Nagano’s failure, can Sakamoto do it?
Sakamoto: Here I go.
Nagano: Oh give me a break!
Nagano: Why are you such a coward?!
Sakamoto: It went really high!
Nagano: Acting like some kind of bug just came out!
Sakamoto: It’s dangerous!
Sakamoto: Ouch!
Nagano: That really would hurt!
Nagano: Oh! I caught it! I caught it!
Sakamoto: One by one, little by little, we got a sense of how much fun marching band can be.
Nagano: If you don’t try, you won’t know!
Sakamoto: You won’t!
Sakamoto: But we can’t go home like this, right, Nagano-san?
Nagano: Right.
Sakamoto: Since we’re here, what if we join them and perform in front of an audience?
Nagano: You want to try it, don’t you! You want to join them!
Sakamoto: I really do!
Narrator: And with that…
Narrator: They get to work practicing.
Narrator: Nagano’s in the drumline.
Narrator: Sakamoto’s made a part of the color guard.
Narrator: And Mr. Wakiya created a special formation incorporating V6!
Narrator: They only have two hours before the performance!
Nagano: It’s the legs, huh…
Sakamoto: Ok… go!
Sakamoto: Scary~! This is really scary!
[2 hours later]
Narrator: And…
Announcer: And now a special live collaborative performance between V6 and the marching band will take place on the athletic grounds.
Announcer: Students presently in the school, please gather around the grounds.
[Students throughout the school gather to watch the performance]
Narrator: In an effort to watch the performance, students from all over the school fill each window.
Sakamoto: Ok!
Nagano: Yes!
Sakamoto: It’s time for the show!
Nagano: It is!
Sakamoto: How are you feeling, Nagano-kun?
Nagano: To be honest, I’m really worried.
Sakamoto: I’m too… not all that ready!
Nagano: But everyone’s looking out for us, so it’ll probably be okay!
Sakamoto: Let’s have fun!
Nagano: Let’s do it!
Sakamoto: Everyone, please help us out!!
Nagano: Please help us! Please!
Narrator: It’s almost time for the performance!
[Nagoya Women’s University Senior High School Marching Band featuring V6]

[V6 will return in later]
Inocchi: What the heck?!

Inocchi: They’re really good, aren’t they?
Marina: They are!
Inocchi: They’ve really got it together!
[___ seconds till V6 appear]
[Spectacular!]
[Remember, this is Mr. Wakiya’s choreography]
Miyake: This is all you’re doing?
[Satisfied]
Sakamoto: We successfully finished the show!
Sakamoto: Well done, everyone!
Nagano: When you watch it, you know it’s amazing. ..
Nagano: But when you try it, you fully understand how great it is!
Sakamoto: With the difficulty and the intensity, the importance of team work…
Nagano: You can really feel it!
Sakamoto: I learned a lot!
Nagano: They truly are the best in Japan!
Sakamoto: I’d like to ask the captain what their next goal is.
Chitose: We’ve still got some weak spots, so I’d like to keep practicing and aim for being best in the nation 4 or 5 times in a row!
Sakamoto: Level up and please do your best to become the top marching band 4 and 5 years in a row!
Sakamoto & Nagano: Thank you very much for today!
Girls: Thank you very much!
Narrator: Nagoya Women’s University Senior High School Marching Band, please do your best and aim for number one for a fourth time!
