海外のピアノコンクールで日本人が東方難関曲弾いたら審査員の反応は… byよみぃ【ナイト・オブ・ナイツ,チルノのパーフェクトさんすう教室,恋色マスタースパーク,etc】
A Japanese Piano YouTuber goes undercover
What if one person
starts playing a Touhou Project song…
What would the judges think…?
Well, this time you see
I came to Hong Kong for another job but
I got the chance to participatein a Hong Kong piano competition (tournament)
This time’s verification
What happens when a Japanese pianistenters an overseas piano competition?
So it’s tomorrow, but
I’d like to go check it out!
Entry: You mean you’re entering as Yomii?
No, I mean
Just as an unnamed participant
I think the people at the venueprobably won’t know me (Yomii) either
It’s like I’m sneaking in
Of course, the competition is utterly unbiased
So I’m honestly nervous
But hey, after spending about 5 hourstraveling overseas
Are you playing Classical (genre)? Then,
It’s Touhou
lol
The person who assigned me in Hong Kong is quite an otaku
They love Japanese culture and definitely wantedto hear a Japanese YouTuber play Touhou
Touhou music out of nowhere?
I’ll be the only one playing Touhou lol
I’m curious about the reaction lol
I honestly don’t knowif I can win
If I do get a prize, it seemsthere will be a critique from the judges on the performance
If I get in, then that
It’s nice to get feedback fromprofessional musicians overseas, isn’t it?
I intend to play with all my might
Shall we go then?
The next day
Arrival at the venue
The judges are winners of international competitionsand music instructors
The award is an indicator of local skill level ina competition with many participants
[He’s the guy who lost to a middle schooleron a Japanese TV show]
Don’t say that
Interpreter: lol
Piano competition begins
The competition is divided into student and general categories,and Yomii will participate in the general
category
By the student category, there were performances by elementary studentsthat could put adults to shame
Because this is a serious competition with prizes and awards,we can’t use much footage of others this
time. We will recreate the atmosphere for you
Elementary students are managing dynamics with adult-like keystroke power
Yomii’s impression
I get scared thinking if I could have played (this piece) at their ageand I stop myself from reminiscing.
The interpreter from Hong Kong teases, ‘He (the current performer) is good, huh?It’d be funny if Yomii
lost.’
I don’t want to challenge something when I’m unsure if I can win (honest feeling)
The general division begins
Each note is incredibly beautiful
Playing the piano fast is certainly difficult, but
Playing slowly makes imperfections stand out,and it’s hard to play cleanly without roughness.
In the general division, that technical prowessseemed to shine through even more.
The piano being used is likely worth close to 10 million yen(Steinway), so the differences in touch are
more apparent.
The selection process was long, and the competition lasted for hours
Yomii’s turn to perform is coming up soon
Finger warm-up exercises
YomiTan
Finally, it’s my turn to play
Performance begins
Starting with a classic-style intro…
笙ｪ Knight of Nights
Will the judges of the overseas competitionreact to a Japanese person playing a Touhou song…?
(They don’t recognize the song)
I’ll play with more technique than usualin my performance.
Playing a fast melody with harmony in parts (right hand)
竊・Person filming the performance
窶ｻA Hong Kong otaku delighted as Knight of Nights plays
笙ｪ Native Faith
笙ｪ Cirno’s Perfect Math Class
A man listening to the performance with a smile
(Fast trills?)
笙ｪ The Maid and the Pocket Watch of Blood
Student participants also start filming
笙ｪ Love-Colored Master Spark
A Touhou medley flows through Hong Kong
Back to Knight of Nights
Approaching the end of the allowed performance time
Modulating to the final sprint
Performance over
Results announcement
Rankings for the student and general divisionsare announced
In the general division, the announcement starts from third place,but Yomii is not called
(Didn’t manage to win a prize…?)
What are the results?
MC: Yomi tan
!!
Me?
Which place?
What place?
You’ve won
I won?!
An unexpected victory in the general division
Seriously!?
The person most surprised is himself
How was his performance today?
You wanted a part where emotions overflow,
That’s the actual appraisal
Thank you very much!
They said they wanted a part that felt like singing,
It’s a pleasant piece of advice (regarding the performance)
Did you know about the pianist called Yomii?
They said they hadn’t heard of him
It’s like they judged purely without favoritism
So, as a pianist, I was evaluated
Congratulations! (Well done)
I also received comments like, ‘The technique of familiarizing and changing the characteristics of the
melody is wonderful. I didn’t know the song, but I was moved as if it were one medley performance.
It was as if I was taken on a great journey within the music.’
