Keiji Haino's documentary movie "document Keiji Haino" praised Playing at Shibuya Sakuragaoka of Theater N (~8 / 31, from the daily 16:30). Keiji Haino (following Kei omitted) was born in 1952. He participated as a vocalist of 71 years, "Lost Arafu". Himself has been active until today in the unique style that does not trapped in rock and music of the singing has a guitar ,,, GaiNaru. Currently working as a solo. Modalities and activities of its existence is exactly what the one and only.
This documentary, going to introduce a stance on its own activities and music of the Haino of itself as displaying an it in like a mirror. From memories from childhood of Haino to music theory and its own philosophy, ethics, underlie a polite interview, his activities, thinking, extends to the method. . . This documentary film itself, the nature and activities of Haino, seems to pseudo simulate the attitude, it has become so hard. It in live activities of Haino own MC is none, there is little that you have deployed up to now their own activities and music theory in an interview and sentences. It is very valuable.
During the day of such intense heat of this year if it were a tropical rain forest, in the dark, which was effective cooling of a movie theater, experience of seeing this movie. To the hustle and bustle of perceived official announcement Shibuya humidity is felt high even at a temperature higher than, body temperature and color to the movie theater space that this movie has been screened, smell, humidity, is a place called a human / animal It gives an extremely small impression. Outside world and literally inverted negative-negative of the way the world unfolds. . . The so-called rendition is not (like director) "storage" and "memories" for the "past time", only "traces of the place" stands out, and has a come revived mechanism. . . Inverted reality. Reality exists that positive there is a negative.
However, the achromatic color / odorless world is a self-production of Haino own image, matter of fact Gekichu the humanity of Haino, cuteness, is an interesting place that is a relief warped thing that innocent property.
Movie from childhood memories of when I was his birth, kindergarten, elementary school, junior high, high school and step-by-step, and the collection of instruments owned by that some places its own interpretation / episode, personal memories and actual rehearsal, , music theory and outlook on life, paintings depicting the young extends to a wide range, such as, to three-dimensional, multi-layered to the highlight the Haino image. And side by side in the music history of the purchased in the record shop of the hometown name board of the record, friends and teachers of the recommendation was that era, literally Some of his ultra-personal historical flow instruments and music, the paving stones, such as philosophy Oite, this side is like going across the river to zigzag to see the movie progresses. . . To say that "the era of" not in such adjacent feeling enthusiastic, somewhere also seem to like the different parallel world of the relationship dimension.
How to use of the word certain musicians that only in the so-called "charisma" is also unique, sometimes come across such a scene is not correct consistency. But without Mai placed such a fine thing, its compelling go crowded attracted to the world of their own most of the side to see. . .
In his words, "one sound, one sound, different things to tolerate," "Do not be limited to," "write not sound to music," "not of being repelled," "more than you are in human beings, personality important ",,, and philosophy followed. Because the music that has been established in terms of the is a "one and only" do not believe only a once-in-a-lifetime chance specific improvisation of "not write to music", use of the word is also probably something that changes from time to time. Gradually his presence that has been considered as a "special" is a very legitimate, notice that come tinged with "legitimacy". . . Because the impossible is human and life is not a "one and only" in the world.
And, experience of our audience side is referred to see this movie on the day of this summer also overlap to his theory as the experience of "one and only". . .
Well, the world of documentary work, "those that are treated (material)" and the "video work" is, in a completely different thing / another dimension, we are treated = see the "movie", "material" look at, there is a tendency to talk about it (the "material"). . . But what we have seen is undeniably a person without a "video work", only talks about the "material" that has been handled has been overlooked is a large place.
For example, eating a curry, not only to discuss the ingredients that have been treated that, philosophy and how the cooking for that cook the food, must be referred to the "curry image" that so-called the cook has . . . Lol
The first place is not always that accurately portrays the only "truth" is a documentary film, it must be re-recognize the major premise that not only depicts one aspect of an event temporarily arbitrarily.
In view of the fact that, this movie not also for Keiji Haino of "truth", it comes to movie about "Keiji Haino" dated brackets. And it and say what it is that all documentary video itself is functioning as its own work = story independent.
Director also Shirao director of this movie is produced the movie "Yokohama Mary" dealing with the prostitute Mary's legend who was standing in Kannai Yokohama, of Asagaya resident that has been serialized in the Gallo cartoonist Shinichi Abe own life while drawing a drama, the boundary between the autobiographical comic was drawn to the "Miyoko Asagaya mood," the world has directed the movie to continue to collapse is his masterpiece. The former is from her a special era of / location of that post-war era and Yokohama that was standing, capture the black-and-white cartoon latter was portrayed as a trace, gradually go back such a technique from there.
The reality of things and events is lost, a once completely finished, go out spinning the "story" in the trace and to go ,,, or own interpretation back in the past from such a place of lingering scent technique.
In the "Document Keiji Haino" of this time, from where it was once fixed, technique dating back to the evidence and the past is taken.
Referred to as the "shadow of death of Hippocrates", the state and the form of the current of things, rather than the result in the form of if there is a cause in the past, and regression-the past beginning from the current results, should be possible to go make up the past such of it.
The past dates back from the current Haino of physiognomy and appearance (or round trip), go to creating one after another "story".
If decipher this movie as a new "another story", he or once spirited away at the time of the elementary school, kidnapping, and should of children that were in the kidnapping, began his disappearance from that time. . . Movie is a journey to search for currently the "boy Keiji Haino" that was in the kidnapping, or Haino herself the sight was his own music career as a journey to search for (= boyhood), break with its own musical activities We have to outright that it is the beginning. Evidence and possession of at the location of the Shoen of the boy that was in the Spirited Away (writing and painting), can be read as "a story of looking for a missing person," to talk about memories for his adult around at the time (of current Haino) .
Documentary film dealing with Megumi Yokota, which is said to have been abducted to North Korea "grace". Whether she continues to live in North Korea, whether they live a different story, Do not you live ,,,,.
This "document Keiji Haino" is also is also a requiem to the child who has become not stay current, is also a warning to the remaining adults ourselves. . .
And not limited to musicians, artists might be the movie of the will to prove that I am unhappy and happy race that had suited to spirited away by the time of all children.
