[Article] Story Behind 'Yoshiwara Lament' Composed by Asa Wagakki Band

Hi, guys. From yesterday post of Japanese Wagakki Band Yaeryu fanclub, there’s someone posted about the story behind the song of “YoshiwaraLament”. As we know, the song actually has been converted into a light novel with the main character Kasane Teto-san. Personally, I never read the book, but once I read the summary and connecting with the lyric, I think I need to share this, because it is a very touched story wrapped up by a good song :D and I wanna let you know…
this article posted under permission to https://wgbif.blogspot.co.id/

Wagakki Band's Yoshiwara Lament. credit: avex

So, the story was taken place in Yoshiwara, a famous red-light district in Edo (I’m sure you’ve already known about the place). Or check it out on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yoshiwara (today known Nihonbashi)

There was a fifteen years old girl, named Kasane Teto. She was sold to a brothel to become a courtesan in Yoshiwara (you can imagine this if you have had watched the movie of ‘Geisha’). She was actually has a childhood friend, named Akasaka Tetsu who spent a pleasure childhood together with her. She tried to still hope that someday she can reach his beloved, but eventually, she has lost all hope and became indifferent to whatever happens. Despite that, it seems, she still had her hope to meet her lover even in Yoshiwara.

Book cover of Yoshiwara Lament Light Novel

---------------

First part shows what happen to Kasane-san in Yoshiwara as a courtesan:

Edo no machi wa kyou mo fukaku Tonight, Edo is once more [1]
Yoru no tobari kaketeiku Wrapped in a veil of profound darkness
Kagami muite beni wo hiite Drawing a line of red as I face a mirror
Oujiru mama ukeireru mama In order to receive, in order to satisfy
Daidai kagayaita hana I used to desire and long for
Akogareteta nozondeita A glittering orange flower [2]
Itsu no mani ka aiiro no hana Before I knew it, I've become an indigo flower [3]
Keredo watashi yasukunai wa But still, I don't come cheap

[1] Edo is the former name of Tokyo.
[2] The orange flower here is depicted as a sunflower in the PV. Sunflowers in flower language (hanakotoba) is a sign of devotion and loyalty, attachment to a person and ardent love.
[3] The indigo (or blue) flower here is depicted as hydrangeas in the PV. Hydrangeas in hanakotoba mean pride, beauty, femininity, as well as cruelty and indifference.
----------------

 Part 2 shows how she loves her childhood friend so much. She wanted to give all the love to him, but the fate stole away her freedom, and she was sent to Yoshiwara and could do nothing.

Makoto wa tada hitori no At first, I had wanted
Donata ka no tame dake ni To blossom only for one person
Saiteitakatta no da keredo But...
Unmei wa wacchi no jiyuu wo ubai, Fate stole away my freedom
Soite haguruma wo And so, the wheels
Mawashiteiku no de arinsu Continued to turn

----------------

Part 3. Reff. Once she was bought, she had to satisfy the customer with no pure love in that.

Itsuwari darake no ren'ai Even if it's just a false love,
Soshite watashi wo idaku no ne Can you embrace me?
Kanashii kurai ni kanjita Right now, rain falls on Yoshiwara
Furi no yoshiwara kyou wa ame A sad feeling trembling through
Anata-sama douka watashi wo Please, sir, if possible,
Katte itadakenai deshouka? Will you be willing to buy me?
Sakidasu kasa no mure ni In the flock of blooming umbrellas
Nureru watashi wa ame I am drenched, I am rain

----------------

Part 4: She was still hope that someone who she loves coming to her and release her from the cage.

Yukikau mure nigiwaru koe ga The bustling crowd comes and goes
Hishinuki ai mo tsureai Flocking around, going about
Negau koto wa douka itsuka My only wish is that someday
Torikago no soto tsuredashite Someone will release me from this birdcage [5]

[5] Birdcage here refers to the "harimise" or the viewing cage courtesans are placed in, very much like a display in a shop. Courtesans are made sit in the display the whole day until someone "buys" them.
----------------

(Book version) One day, she got a customer, a young samurai named Kei, who was gentle and strong, and seems she fall for him. But at the same time, she’s remembering Tetsu when she saw the young samurai. Well, she still wait to meet Tetsu again.

----------------

Part 5: Everything that she hopes seems to be useless, that what happened in the Yoshiwara. Customer came, she should what what she should : “Welcome, please enter”

Ureiwoobita hana nozomu hateru The sorrow-tinged flowers, with my hope, withered away
"Youkoso oidekunnamashi" "Welcome, please enter."

----------------

Part 6:

Koibito gokko no yoru ni In a night for lovers,
Toiki "aahh" to nakasete I can only purr and sigh

Kanashii kurai ni kanjita Right now, rain falls on Yoshiwara
Furi no Yoshiwara kyou mo ame A sad feeling trembling through

----------------

In the end of the PV, we can see that Teto was surprised by seeing someone she really wanted to meet. And the story ended by a happy ending ^^

---Good job Asa-san!---

==Wagakki Band covered this song in their first album Vocalozanmai in their music way. It turns really beautiful played with some Japanese traditional instruments. And we can see when this song is brought live, Yuuko’s singing style, gestures, the umbrella, and everything creates a beautiful atmosphere that show the scene of the song’s story. What do you think?===

[Article] Wagakki Band First Yaeryu Assembly 2016

 Hi everyone! I'm one of contributors of Extalia, nickname Puriko (given by one of my best friend in Japan).

source: Wagakki Band members' twitter

I got some requests from some members of Wagakki Band International Fanclub on facebook to report the Yaeryu Assembly last week, so I'll write some here. Since there maybe some of prohibited event to share, I'll make this report carefully and not to tell you all the details, please forgive me.

So, it was started when I won a lottery for 1 ticket last month. I was so happy and excited to attend the event. It was special event held by Wagakki Band for Yaeryu members only. But since there were limited space on the venue, they made it as a lottery.

I did reach Osaka at the Oct 15th morning after quite long journey from Tokyo. I got the 1st event to attend so I went to the venue at about 2pm.
On the way there, I saw some of other fans wearing Wagakki Band T-shirts and bringing other goodies too. I was so excited to meet all of them as we have same group to love.

When I got there, the management sold goodies special for Yaeryu and I did join the line to buy some of them! I got T-shirt (the black one, they had 2 designs anyway) and Yaeryu printed books vol 1 and 2.
Well, for foreigners who doesn't understand Japanese, the event was quite confusing since they didn't put any of announcement clearly even in Japanese. Fortunately, I went there with my Japanese friend so I didn't have any problem.

It was about to begin...
I got number 11 so I could enter the venue early. They called our number one by one. Actually, my Japanese friend was far away from me, so I should go by myself, and this girl staff helped me a lot since she could speak English a bit (I owe her).

Inside the venue, I got the first line at Macchi and Beni side, it was so close to them! (actually I even could touch them). Oh, also I got 3 new friends from Taiwan (Good to see you guys!), seems they such a hardcore fans too~

My position was this close to the stage

The event was begin by a staff giving some opening speech before all the Wagakki members entering the stage. It was a loud cheers when Wagakki Band started their first song and the 2nd song~
They brought some songs such as Mamoritai Hito, Hoshizukiyo, Yoshiwara Lament, Kishikaisei and Akatsuki no Ito.

THE BEST PART OF THE EVENT: WAGAKKI BAND SUPER Z! SPECIAL STAGE OF NEW FORMATION OF WAGAKKI BAND!
This time, they had a new formation!
Vocal : Kurona
Guitar + backing vocal : Wasabi
Sakuhachi : Machiya
Koto : Dai
Shamisen : Kiyoshi
Wadaiko : Asa
Bass : Yuuko
Drum : Beni


This group played TSUIOKU!
OMG! I cannot explain how amazing this band was! I laughed a lot!

[photos below taken from twitter of Wagakki Band members] 

As we know, as a vocalist, Kurona-san was amazing! But the one made my laugh was he put 'URYAA~!!" too much to the songs! OMG.. that was so funny!
Next, Wasabi, he's position as drummer is 100% correct! He played the guitar as Macchi, was so amazing, but then Macchi should do the backing vocal right? Indeed Wasabi did it too! You should watch it yourself to understand why he made me laugh so hard!
Machi in Sakuhachi began with an amazing player like Dai, but then, he seemed frustrated haha..
Dai on Koto was almost perfect! He also controlled the melody for everyone since the others were like losing control of themselves ww
Kiyoshi at the beginning seems so confident, but then he got frustrated and went to Wasabi side to play his guitar with the Samishen's pick!!!
Asa on Wadaiko was so crazy from the start! When the part of Wadaiko came to put more instruments aside, he did sound all of the instruments crazily~
The one made my impress was Yuko on bass guitar! She always said that she wanted to play bass and she did! She played the bass really well! and had an amazing collaboration with Beni!
Beni was so cool!!! She did it very well! She seems so nervous though...
>>THIS PART WAS TOTALLY AMAZING!

1st special event:
They chose a member to answer silly and funny questions from other members and fans.
One of the question to Dai-san: If Wagakki Band were a family, put the role of the member~
There was Papa, Mama, etc, but a family also have a PET! Who was it? ww try to guess!
Other questions? Sorry, I could not reveal it here :D

2nd special event:
Members should guess A or B about some questions!
Members who chose the wrong answers more than 3 times would be punished.
And this time, Asa-san got the punishment! ww

Then we took a photo together!

Sorry I can't put the original file here since this is a special commemorative photo for Yaeryu only.
If you are a Yaeryu, check the photos here: http://global-fc.net/wgb/sp/tour/yaeryusokai1/

The event was SO SO SO FUN! I DID HIGH FIVE WITH BENI AND WASABI!
The one was disappointing me was they had no any encore...

Overall, I enjoyed the event so much! Sugokatta na~ Tanoshikatta desu~!!! Otsukaresama deshita!

Ah, I also met some of Wagakki Band's cosplayers and asked them to take photo with me! They were so surprise knowing that me, coming from overseas to see Wagakki Band's concert.

One of amazing facts I found there was I met a lot of fans with wide range of age. I saw a little girl coming with her mom but I also saw some of elder people wearing Wagakki Band's t-shirts and ready with all the supporting stuffs!

After the event, I enjoyed my Takoyaki and Okonomiyaki at Hankyu~

That's the report Sir/Ma'am! Hope you like it and sorry for my bad English since it is not my first languange.

Regards,
Puriko (Extalia)

[ARTICLE] Delapan Samurai Wagakki Band Melukis Mimpi 10.000 Fans pada Konser Tahun Baru di Budoukan!

Suzuhana Yuuko (Vo)

"Terima kasih banyak karena telah memperdengarkan kami sebuah nyanyian yang luar biasa. Seperti mimpi rasanya mendengar 10.000 orang menyanyikan lagu kami". Setelah 10.000 fans yang hadir menyanyikan lagu "Akatsuki no Ito" bersama sebagai permintaan Encore, Suzuhana Yuuko (Vokalis) kembali ke panggung dan berbicara ke seluruh penonton. Sorakan yang luar biasa dari penonton meledak, bahkan banyak dari fans yang menangis. Saya sangat terkesan dengan euforia pada scene terakhir ini.

【JROCK.tokyo Live Report Text by Chief Editor Satoko Miki】 
TRANSLATED INTO BAHASA INDONESIA BY ANIMEVENT

Sebagai kemunculan pertama Wagakki Band di JROCK.tokyo, perkenankan saya memperkenalkan mereka. Wagakki Band dibentuk oleh sang vokalis, Suzuhana Yuuko dan melakukan debut pada April 2014 sebagai "WAGAKKI BAND". Band dengan aliran Japanese style rock ini terdiri atas 8 anggota: Kaminaga Daisuke di Shakuhachi (seruling tradisional Jepang), Ibukuro Kiyoshi di Koto (harpa tradisional Jepang), Ninagawa Beni di Tsugaru Shamisen (alat musik traditional Jepang yang mirip gitar dengan tiga senar), Kurona di Wadaiko (Drum tradisional Jepang), Machiya di gitar, Wasabi di drum, Asa di bass, dan vokalis Suzuhana YUuko dengan gaya menyanyi 'Shigin' (cara membaca/menyanyikan puisi tradisional Jepang -semacam macapat di tradisional Jawa-) serta 'Shimai' (tarian tradisional). Suzuhana Yuuko ingin mempopulerkan penampilan seni tradisional mereka sebagai budaya Jepang. Musik mereka yang unik menggabungkan gaya musik tradisional Jepang dengan melodi dari Rock dan Pop serta gaya menyanyi Shigin, terbukti telah menarik perhatian baik di Jepang maupun di luar Jepang.

Tiket konser tunggal mereka di Taiwan yang diadakan pada November 2015 terjual habis dalam 3 menit. Album kedua mereka "YASOUEMAKI" yang dirilis pada September 2015 lalu juga menduduki peringkat pertama di Oricon Weekly Chart di Jepang. Album tersebut juga menyabet penghargaan "The Planning Prize for 57th Japan Record Award". Dengan berbagai kekuatan yang mereka miliki, saat ini Wagakki Band menjadi salah satu artis yang sedang naik daun. Tiket konser mereka di Budoukan 6 Januari lalu juga habis di hari yang sama saat dibuka penjualannya, bahkan diperluas sampai area standing.

Wasabi (Drum)

Kaminaga Daisuke (Shakuhachi)

Pada pukul 7 malam (waktu Jepang), lampu dipadamkan dan panggung dipenuhi dengan asap. Pada member dengan konstum yang menganggumkan muncul diiringi teriakan-teriakan para penonton yang memanggil nama mereka. Lagu pertama yang dibawakan adlaah "Akatsuki no Ito" di mana dapat terlihat jelas kepribadian masing-masing member dan alat musiknya.

Suara shakuhachi dari Daisuke mengawali lagunya, lalu diikuti Wadaiko dari Kurona. Terdengar suara auman naga dari backstage yang disertai munculnya proyeksi di screen. Permainan Shamisen  penuh energi dari Beni yang menggunakan kostum menggumkanpun mulai terdengar. Suara Shamisennya memberikan warna unik dan pesona eksentrik pada penampilan mereka.

"Let's Go, Budokan!" teriak Kurona, lalu lagu penuh semangat mereka, "Ikusa" pun dimainkan.

"Hanate, hanate Ikusa e.. Inotte... Inottte Mirai de.."
Suara powerful dan tinggi dari Suzuhana Yuuko dan senada ketika member lainnya memainkan instrumen mereka dengan penuh energi. Machita (gitar) perlahan melakukan pijakan-pijakan khasnya, membuat suasana konser semakin bersemangat.

Pada lagu "Rokuchounen to Ichiya Monogatari", sebuah suara yang menyenangkan dari Koto milik Kiyoshi terdengar memenuhi seluruh venue, lalu morif-motif Jepang dan sakura muncul di screen. Sebuah interpretasi nostalgia yang membuat kita seolah-olah melompati waktu  dan para fans bertepuk tangan dengan sangat meriah.

Selanjutnya, sebuah lagu sentimental bertemakan cinta "Tsuioku" dimainkan pertama kali secara langsung di panggung. Panggung dipenuhi dengan lampu-lampu yang hangat, permainan gitar Machiya dan chorus secara perlahan menggema bersamaan dengan suara vokalis Yuko. Melodi yang dikeluar dari permainan gitar Machiya menunjukkan ekspresi yang bermacam-macam berdasarkan tema lagu yang dibawakan. Tidak hanya fans, tapi semua yang hadir serasa tertarik masuk ke dalam atmosfer dari penampilannya.

Asa (bass)

Suzuhana Yuuko (Vocal)

Dilanjutkan lagu yang penuh semangat "Noushou Sakuretsu Girl", "Yoshiwara Lament" di mana Yuko melakukan tarian dengan payung merah dan sebuah kipas lipat Jepang dengan sangat anggun, "homura" di mana tim instrumen barat menunjukkan kekuatan mereka. Dan pada lagu "Hangeki no Yaiba", fans dengan semangat mengangkat tangan mereka (memegang light stick) dan mengikuti atmosfer kuat dari lagu tersebut. Pertunjukan ini merupakan sebuah hiburan unik, dengan gaya baru dan original, dengan mengadopsi berbagai lagu dengan berbagai tempo dan menghibur penonton secara total.

"Kita sudah sampai di bagian akhir pertunjukan! Apa kalian sudah siap?! Ayo, semuanya!" vokalis Yuuko memberikan senyum kepada fans dan mulai menyanyikan lagu "Chikyuu Saigo no Kokuhaku wo". Lagi, suara Yuuko terdengar sangat indah, powerful, dan menentramkan. Terasa seperti suaranya dapat menembus atap dari Nippon Budoukan.

Machiya (Guitar)

Ibukuro Kiyoshi (Koto)

Lagu terakhir adalah "Perfect Blue" yang diciptakan oleh Asa (bassist). Sepintas, Asa terlihat seperti laki-laki juga perempuan, tapi dia adalah salah satu figur utama dari band ini, kita dapat melihat permainannya yang agresif di panggung dan permainan kuat dari bassnya yang mendukung keseluruhan musiknya. Permainan Shakuhachi dari Daisuke masuk bersahutan dengan permainan melodi bass dari Asa dan menciptakan suasana yang tentram. Penonton sangat menikmati musik-musik rock n roll bergaya Jepang ini sampai akhir.

Setelah member meninggalkan panggung, 10.000 fans menyanyikan "Akatsuki no Ito". Suara yang indah dari laki-laki, perempuan, tua, muda menggema ke seluruh venua bersama warna ungu sebagai image color dari band ini. Pemandangan dramatis ini berlangsung sekitar 10 menit. Hal itu pasti sebuah hadiah spesial dari fans untuk Wagakki Band.

"Terima kasih banyak karena telah memperdengarkan kami sebuah nyanyian yang luar biasa. Seperti mimpi rasanya mendengar 10.000 orang menyanyikan lagu kami. Kami menerima surat dan pesan SNS dari fans kami yang mengatakan bahwa mereka senang bahwa Wagakki Band menjadi semakin populer dan terkenal, tetapi kadang hal itu menimbulkan rasa kesepian. Aku tahu, dulu kami hanya terlihat seperti kacang, tapi aku hanya senang karena kalian telah datang kemari. Aku sangat mengapresiasi dukungan kalian kepada kami tidak hanya sebagai fans dan artis, tapi sebagai 'seseorang'. Kami akan tetap tampil di panggung bersama, berdelapan, dan kami berpikir apa yang dapat kami lakukan untuk kalian yang telah membawa kami ke Budoukan".

Para member masuk kembali ke panggung dan Yuko berbicara atas nama kedelapan member. Tepuk tangan penonton menggema, Yuuko melanjutkan, "Ada banyak cara untuk untuk menyampaikan hal ini pada kami dan bersama-sama kita bisa memperluas lingkaran ini", teriakan penonton terdengar makin keras.

Pada encore, sebuah lagu dengan tempo medium dimainkan, "Strong Fate" untuk pertama kali dilanjutkan lagu vocaloid, Tengaku. Lagu terakhir merupakan lagu andalan mereka yang telah ditonton lebih dari 30juta viewers di youtube, "Senbonzakura". Kertas silver dan bunga sakura buatan menghujani venue dan membuat sebuah dunia yang fantastis. Di punggung Wasabi (drummer) tertulis kanji "Hiyaku" (progress) di mana resolusinya untuk tahun ini. Suara drum Wasabi dengan kuat membawa lagu terkahir ini kepada puncaknya. Machiya dan Yuuko tampil di tengahm sedangkan Beni memainkan Shamisen dengan ekspresi yang sangat keren. Fans memberikan respon kepada penampilan band dengan teriakan dan mengangkat tangan mereka sambil menikmati musiknya. Di sinilah pertunjukan mencapai klimaksnya. Setelah semua lagu selesai, kedelapan member, dengan ekspresi yang puas, menunduk dan memberi hormat sebagai rasa terima kasih. Fans juga bersorak kepada band, "Terima kasih!". Tepuk tangan meriah dan teriakan dukungan kepad band ini belum berhenti bahkan setelah semua member meninggalkan panggung.

Band ini memberikan penampilan mereka dengan hati dan jiwa pada pertunjukkan di Nippon Budoukan dengan total membawakan 23 lagu selama kurang lebih dua setengah jam. Saat Yuuko berbicara pada sesi MC, keseluruhan managemen panggung, termasuk tempat berdiri masing-masing member seperi jembatan yang membentang dari Barat ke Timur, memungkinkan seluruh penonton menikmati penampilan mereka. Konsep mereka "All members are main characters", terlihat di setiap bagian permainan mereka. Musik mereka yang mengkombinasikan nuasa keindahan, kekuatan dan style Jepang yang kental juga sangat kuat terlihat. Mereka menyentuh hati orang Jepang dan membuat mereka bangga sebagai orang Jepang. Mungkin hal ini adalah salah satu alasan bagaimana Wagakki Band mendapatkan popularitas begitu besar dari berbagai umur, jenis kelamin, maupun kewarganegaraan.

Mimpi mereka baru saja dimulai. Saya ingin tau bagaimana kedelapan samurai ini akan menunjukkan kepada kita mimpi mereka yang terus berlanjut ini. Saya harap suatu hari nanti, 'Wagakki' menjadi sebuah kata yang universal dan band ini dapat menciptakan jalan baru yang belum pernah dicetak oleh artis Jepang lainnya.

Kita tunggu saja bagaimana musik mereka akan menyentuh tidak hanya ke seluruh Jepang, tapi juga ke seluruh dunia.
