#Kono hiroi sora no dokoka ni

[byneddiedingo]

Masami Taura and Akira Ishihama in Somewhere Beneath the Wide Sky (Masaki Kobayashi, 1954) Cast: Keiji Sada, Yoshiko Kuga, Hideko Takamine, Akira Ishihama, Minoru Oki, Toshiko Kobayashi, Masami Taura, Kumeko Urabe, Chieko Nakakita,  Shin'ichi Himori, Ryohei Uchida. Screenplay: Yoshiko Kusuda. Cinematography: Toshiyasu Morita. Art direction: Kazue Hirataka. Film editing: Yoshi Sugihara. Music: Chuji Kinoshita, Somewhere Beneath the Wide Sky* is a reminder that Masaki Kobayashi began his career as an assistant to Keisuke Kinoshita. It not only employed Kinoshita's brother Chuji as composer of the score, along with the director's usual film editor, Yoshi Sugihara, it also displays one of Kinoshita's usual domestic drama themes: the conflict of tradition and modernity as several generations of a family try to work out a way of living together in postwar Japan. And it shares some of Kinoshita's sentimentality in the developments of its plot. In tone and theme, Somewhere Beneath the Wide Sky could not be more different from the film Kobayashi made just before it: the harsh, fierce The Thick-Walled Room, which was made in 1953 but which the studio withheld from release until 1956. For that matter, it's not much like Kobayashi's bleak slum drama Black River (1956) or his unsparing three-part antiwar epic The Human Condition (1959-1961). Kobayashi would find his way out of the genteel trap that Somewhere Beneath the Wide Sky represents. Which is not to say that he didn't make a pleasant, thoroughly enjoyable film in which everyone seems to find themselves on the right path by the time the plot works itself out. Ryochi (Keiji Sada) and Hiroko (Yoshiko Kuga), who run the family liquor store, have married for love, which alienates his stepmother, who would have preferred an arranged marriage. Abetted by Ryochi's depressed, self-loathing sister, Yasuko (Hideko Takamine),  the stepmother constantly finds fault with Hiroko. Eventually, however, everyone makes peace, thanks in large part to Ryochi's steadfast good nature in defense of his wife and to Yasuko's unexpectedly finding love and a new purpose in life. The feel-good elements of the film are not quite so convincing as the harsher parts, but the performances -- especially that of Takamine in a cast-against-type role -- are persuasive. *The Criterion Channel title is a translation of the Japanese title Kono hiroi sora no dokoka ni. IMDb gives it as Somewhere Under the Broad Sky, and I've also seen it referred to as Somewhere Beneath the Vast Heavens.

Erotic&Heretic: Lolita in the Garret

Lyrics from Lyric Wikia

Ali Project

Track 6: Lolita in the Garret

Romanji- English

ATORIE no madobe kara

RUDON BURUU no sora kobore

FUROA wo nuritsubusu

From a window in the atelier,

The Redon blue sky pours in

And paints out the floor

yoake mae satta hito

hiroi SHIITSU wa tsumetaku

kawaranu asa wo tsutsumu

He left before dawn

These wide sheets are cold,

Wrapping up an unchangeable morning

tu sais, je t'aime

kono tsugi wa

dokoka watashi wo tsuresatte

mada shiranu jiyuu wo　nozokitai no

otona no zurusa wa

shitte'ru kedo

"you know, i love you"

Next,

He takes me away somewhere

I want to sneak a look at the freedom I've yet to know

Even though I know

The cunningness of adults

kakikake no jikazou to

kagami ni utsushita kao wa

yogoto ni kakehanare

Compared to my unfinished self-portrait,

The face reflected in the mirror

Is very different every night

koi dake de iki wo suru

watashi wa utakata no hibi

yokushitsu de shizumetai

It's just love, I take a breath

On these fleeting days,

I want to sink myself in the bath

tu sais, je t'aime aeru made

anata wo manabitsuzukeyou

KAFE METORO DE RU MYUZE

doko ni ite mo

anata no shisen de

nazotte'ru no

"you know, i love you, and until we meet again,

i'll keep on studying you"

At the cafe, from the metro to the art museum,

No matter where I am,

Your gaze

Follows me

tu sais, je t'aime sugu ni kite

douka watashi wo tsuretette

nanimokamo kirameku　sono basho e

you know, i love you, come immediately

And please take me

To the place where everything sparkles

Monsieur, doushite ai wa

utsuroi hito wo kaeru no ka

yogorenai omoi ga　shinjitsu ka

subete wo anata ni

oshiete hoshii

Mister, why does love

Change people?

Are my innocent thoughts real?

I want to tell you

All of them

Kanji

アトリエの窓辺から

ルドン・ブルーの空こぼれ

床(フロア)を塗りつぶす

 夜明けまえ去った人

広いシーツは冷たく

変わらぬ朝を包む

 tu sais, je t'aime

この次は

どこか私を連れ去って

まだ知らぬ自由を覗きたいの

大人のずるさは

知ってるけど

 描きかけの自画像と

鏡に映した顔は

夜毎に　かけ離れ

 恋だけで　息をする

わたしは泡沫の日々

浴室で沈めたい

 tu sais, je t'aime　会えるまで

あなたを学びつづけよう

カフェ　地下鉄　美術館(メトロ・ド・ル・ミュゼ)

どこにいても

あなたの視緑で

なぞってるの

 tu sais, je t'aime すぐに来て

どうかわたしを連れてって

何もかもきらめく　その場所へ

 Monsieur, どうして愛は

移ろい人を変えるのか

汚れない想いが　真実か

すべてをあなたに

教えて欲しい
