22th October (Satomi entry)

Good night!

I'm Satomi, the oboist♪

Today I went to a woodwind quintet rehearsal.

Because of much practice, I don't know why, I get hungry...

It would be an autumn with appetite...??

It is an autumn of art too, I feel that food taste more delicious when I finished to rehearsed.

How I thought, it is an autumn with appetite.

Today I will introduce my instrument.

My instrument is a Marigaux and it was made in France.

Marigaux is the third best oboe maker.

My model is considerably old.

I've been a lot of time with my little, we are approximate 10 years that we were together.

I have a lot of memories.

From now, I want increase the memories!!

I'll do my best!!

See you!!

First Tenyu entry

Hi! I'm Tenyu.

Recently I joined Lacroix Despheres as a support guitarist. Nice to meet you♪

Although I’m only a support member, I’m going to write in the blog.

I have nothing in particular to write about in the introduction, so I’m going to write a little about my favorite guitarists.

I think I’ll write about this little by little.

James Hetfield

Kirk Hammett

Metallica’s guitarists.

I’m so influenced by Metallica. My life has changed a lot because of this influence (laughs)

Yesterday, I hung out in a way that I can’t do frequently, so I am going to talk about it.

I went to eat tuna aboard the ship of my senpai-musician, who piloted the ship from Kasai to Misaki, where Disneyland and its neighborhood are.

The weather was nice, and felt so good. In Misaki we had lunch and then came back through Tateyama and Yasuda’s ports.

It was a precious personal experience.

It’s beautiful to see Disneyland from the sea.

Lacroix Despheres got the 7th position!

In the CDJapan's poll "

Which Visual-kei band is the most promising newcomer?",

Lacroix Despheres got the 7th position with 57 votes!
So good! Thank you for voting!

I'm Satomi♪

Good evening!

I'm Satomi, the oboist!

This is the first time that I am writing in Lacroix's blog.

Nice to meet you! m(__)m

On the other hand, I think that the oboe is not a musical instrument as common as other instruments, so I will introduce it.

The Oboe belongs to woodwind family.

The principal characteristic is that it is played with the mouth.

It produces sound because of its two reeds.

This kind of musical instrument is called a "double reed instruments". Also in this family of instruments is the bassoon.

This is my reed.

A lot of oboists make their own reeds or adapt the reed to suit them.

I make the reeds myself too.

On another occasion, I will talk about reeds again.

About the oboe's sound, its possible that a lot of people can't identify it immediately but, can you remember the melody of the beginning of "Swan Lake"?

This is a oboe solo!!

Swan Lake part 1

In orchestra's songs there is a lot of melodies/solos played by oboe.

Oboes can be heard in a lot of Soundtracks for films, dramas and musicals.

Recently, it became famous in the piece when Mr. Miyamoto Fumiaki plays: "Kazabue".

Because of "Nodame Cantabile", Mozart's oboe concert became popular too.

Kazabue

Mozart Oboe concerto (Nodame Cantabile version)

Please search for other oboe melodies!!

In Lacroix Despheres' live performances, I will do my best to transmit the oboe sound!!

See you!!

Ouverture de la Soirée - Translation

In this season when moonlight brightens the surface of water

The door to the masquerade colored by darkness opens

At this night, I have not been able to stay alone

Being held be the gorgeous sound, eternity passes

In the long dream, my feeling slightly glittering keeps tempting you

Come to the beautiful night, Wrap the memory now

The overlapped wish flies up to the sky,

and the meeting dremed of goes under the moonlit

Come, sweet sound

along with the neverending feelings

In the long dream, my feeling slightly glittering keeps tempting you

Come to the beautiful night, Wrap the memory now

The overlapped wish flies up to the sky,

and the meeting dremed of goes under the moonlit

Come, sweet sound

with the neverending feelings

The sounds played are play of light

Till the days when it shines the eyes wavering far away...

In faint time, putting this sad feelings swaying vaguely on this song

Come to the beautiful night, Wrap the memory now

Come, sweet sound

along with the neverending feelings

If you melt the entwined melodies together,

dance as the destinies echoing at each other leads

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Fiore - Translation

You, who is blooming in the falling light, are beautiful

Watching you while being held by the endless sky

Glittering song Gentle melody

The melody that the wind whispers

led me to this place

and is tempting to the very end of the memory, Fiore...

Ring the white bell and sing

The eternally encraved melody will grasp the cloud

and direct toward beyond the sky at night where moonlight dances...

Slowly going up the stairs lasting forever,

widening scenery in front of you colors the sly

Carrying out the memory of sadness with clouds

that are swinging at the end of the sky

The feelings played are always Fiore...

With the wings like a blue bird

I can fly to the place where you are waiting

To the end of the sky that continues to your familiar smile...

Widening the wings and flying to this night,

to the distant world together with the fallen angels some day...

With the wings like a blue bird

I can fly to the place where you are waiting

To the end of the sky that continues to your familiar smile...

The night breeze of blue clearness

draws out the stars over this sky

and takes the smiles continuing to the end of the dream to the sky...
