【キンコン西野、HYDE愛を語る】
今日は大切なお知らせが二つございます。
まず一つ目ですが、映画『えんとつ町のプペル』のオンラインムビチケの発売が開始しました。
コチラ→https://mvtk.jp/Film/070395
前売価格なので、若干お買い得になっていて、一般が1500円。子供が800円です。
でもって、オンラインムビチケ(前売券)の購入特典として、「特製スマホ壁紙」がプレゼントされます。
こちらは、初公開となる映画『えんとつ町のプペル』のメインビジュアルです。
個人的にメチャクチャお気に入りの一枚で、今日は、この絵のことを少しだけ説明させていただきます。
主人公のプペルとルビッチが煙突の上に座って、上を向いているのですが、「上を向く」というのが今作のテーマでもあるんですね。
劇中、高いところが苦手な煙突掃除屋の少年のルビッチ君が、ハシゴを登る時に下を見ちゃうシーンがあります。
下を見ると、体重が後ろにかかるもんですから、立てかけてあるハシゴが揺れるんですね。
それに対して、下で見守っていたルビッチ君のお父さんの「ブルーノ」さんが、「下を見るから揺れるんだ。上を見ろ」とアドバイスするわけですが、これはハシゴに引っ掛けた世の理で、僕らは上を向いている時は体力的に少々大変でも頑張れる。
それこそコロナなんて「来月終わります」と言ってもらえたら、その希望をオカズに1ヶ月ぐらいの貧乏は我慢できる。
だけど、コロナの場合は「いつ終わるか分からない」という、「希望が取り除かれた状態」だから、精神的にかなりグラついてしまう。ともすれば鬱っぽくなる。
そう考えると、「希望」というのは、僕らが生きていく上で必要なもので、「上を見る理由」を提供することは僕ら表現者の仕事の一つでもあるなぁと思いました。
映画『えんとつ町のプペル』は来年公開に延期する話も上がったのですが、「いやいや、今年公開しよう!」とワガママを言いました。
大変なのは百も承知で、だけど、だからこそ、皆と同じように大変な中で頑張って、頑張って頑張って結果を出す。
その姿を見せることができたら、「ああ、こんな中でも死ぬ気で努力すれば活路が見いだせるんだな」と思ってもらえて、誰かの規模になることができるなぁと思って、今年公開に踏み切りました。
メインビジュアルは、そういう気持ちを全部込めて、「煙に覆われて、なかなか星が見つからない町の中で、それでも上を見続ける主人公達の横顔」にして見ました。
この絵が頑張る人のお守りになると嬉しいです。
オンラインムビチケをご購入いただけると、特典で付いてきますので、是非!

んでもって、大切なお知らせの二つ目です。
昨夜、YouTubeの生配信で喋ったのですが、HYDEさん愛が爆発してしまって1時間近く喋っちゃったので、あたらめて短くまとめます。
映画『えんとつ町のプペル』のオープニング主題歌「ハロウィンパーティ プペルver.」の配信が開始されました。
コチラ→https://hyde.lnk.to/hppoupelleTP
HYDEさんが子供達と歌っているのですが、これ、本当にビックリするぐらいカッコイイので、一度聴いてください。
僕は昨夜から、かれこれ20回ぐらい聴いています。
こちらの楽曲は、もともと2012年頃に発表されていたんです。
それが、もう、とっても素敵で……まもなく、日本にもハロウィンが一つの文化として根付いて、その後、様々なハロウィンソングが世に出てきたのですが、僕個人的には、この楽曲を超える「ハロウィンソング」には出会わなかったんですね。
やっぱりブッちぎりだったんです。
映画『えんとつ町のプペル』のオープニングシーンの脚本を書くときも、後ろにずっとこの曲を流していて、この曲に引っ張られるようにオープニングを書いたんですね。
で、いよいよ「オープニング曲の制作をしよう」という段階に差し掛かった時に、「いや、ちょっと待てよ」と。
2012年から、HYDEさんの「ハロウィンパーティ」を超える曲が出てこなくて、んでもって、そもそも「ハロウィンパーティー」を流しながら、この曲に合うように本を書いてしまっている。
この条件で、「ハロウィンパーティーを超える曲なんて作れるんだっけ?」と思ったんですね。
というわけで、「一旦、ダメ元で、HYDEさんに、この曲を使わせていただけるか、お願いしてみよう」と。で、「ダメだったら、頑張って作ろう」ということで、話がまとまったんです。
やっぱり、「イイものはイイ」ので。
変にエゴをこじらせて、何でもかんでも「自分でやる」とするのではなくて、素晴らしいものにあやかれるのなら、あやかった方がイイ。
それが製作総指揮の仕事だなぁと思ったんです。
で、ダメ元で、HYDEさんにお願いしたところ、これが本当に本当にありがたいことに、なんとHYDEさんが、そもそも『えんとつ町のプペル』のファンでいてくださって、快く「オッケー」をくださったんです。
こんなにありがたいことはありません。
そして、もっとありがたいのはここからです。
ここから僕のHYDE愛が爆発するのですが……映画館で流すとなると規格も変わりますし、さらには前後の音楽とのバランスもあって、今回、「ハロウィンパーティー」を映画用にアレンジする必要があったんですね。
そこからのHYDEさんが本当に最高すぎたのですが、HYDEさんったら、楽曲を提供して終わりじゃないんです。
「えんとつ町」には、こういう音は鳴らない」とか「煙の中から聴こえてくる音は、こっちだ」といった感じで、映画用のアレンジを本当にトコトン付き合ってくださったんです。
テレビのインタビューだと「オッケー、オッケー」といった軽い感じで受けて、サクッとやりました感が出ていますが、どっこい、皆さんが思われている「トコトン付き合う」の5倍ぐらいトコトン付き合ってくださった。
歌詞も若干変わってるんです。
もともと歌詞の中に、「月明かり」というワードがあったのですが、「えんとつ町」は煙に覆われて空を知らない町なので、月も知らないので、「月明かり」が「薄明かり」になっていたり、その他にも、えんとつ町にあるハズがないものは歌詞から省いて、えんとつ町仕様に変えてくださったんです。
んで、また、子供の声との相性が抜群!
ロックミュージシャンと子供が、メチャクチャイイ感じに融合している。
一言でいうと、「HYDEさんが好きだ」ということです。
学生時代、僕はアルバイトで、ラルク・アン・シエルさんのコンサートスタッフをさせていただいたんです。
スタッフはステージに背を向けて、お客さんの方を見なきゃいけないのですが、両耳は全部ステージの方を向いていて、実は、その時のライブに、まだ出会う前の梶原君も来ていて、僕はスタッフとして、梶原君はお客さんとして、ラルクさんのライブに参加させていただいたんです。
ときどき梶原君と、その話になるのですが、あの日、あのライブを観て、ステージ上のラルクさんを観て感じたことは、僕も梶原君も全く同じで、僕らが目指したのは「お笑い」だったのですが、もうちょっと大きな枠として捉えた時に、「いつか、あっち側に行ってみたいな」と思ったんです。
なんか、本当にキラキラしていた。
コンサートの撤収でパイプ椅子とかを片付けながら、「あっち側に行きたい」と、ずっと思っていました。
なので、今回、こういった形でご一緒させていただくことになったのは、あの日の自分の希望でしかなくて、もしタイムマシン的なものがあれば、あの日に戻って「お前、メチャクチャ頑張ったら、いけるぞ」と彼に言ってやりたいです。
まぁ、とにかく、HYDEさんが映画『えんとつ町のプペル』用に作り直してくださった「ハロウィンパーティー」が本当に、本当に最高なので、是非、聴いてみてください。
あと、とはいえ「いただきっぱなし」は気持ちが悪いので、今回、お力を貸してくださったHYDEさんに対して、また、HYDEさんをずっと支えてくださったファンの皆様、スタッフの皆様に対して、僕なりの恩返しはさせていただきます。
そちらは11月上旬に発表します。
そのアクションでもって、「あの日の僕の胸を熱くさせてくれたHYDEさんって、こんなにカッコイイだぜ」ということを、あらためて、世の中にお伝えします。
お楽しみに。

[Xin Nishino, Hyde talks about love]
We have two important news today.
It's the first one, but the movie ′′ a no-′′ online bangabandhu is now on sale.
Here → https://mvtk.jp/Film/070395
It's an early bird price, so it's a bit of a bargain, and the general is 1500 yen. The child is 800 yen.
′′ Special Smartphone Wallpaper ′′ will be present as a special gift for the purchase of online bangabandhu (early bird tickets).
This is the main visual of the first movie ′′ a in town ′′ (in Japanese)
One of my personal favorites, and today, I'm going to explain a little bit about this painting.
The protagonist," and Ruby are sitting on the chimney, and they are on their way up, but it is also the theme of the creation of the creation.
In the play, there is a scene where the chimney cleaner boy, who is not good at high, is looking down when climbing the ladder.
When you look down, the weight is behind, so the propped ladders are swaying.
On the other hand, Levitch's father, Bruno, who was watching downstairs," is swaying because he looks down. Look up I advise you, but this is the understanding of the world that hook up to the ladders, and when we are on the way, we can do our best to be a bit hard.
If you say corona is ′′ it will end next month you can resist the poor for about 1 months in the wank.
But in the case of Corona, ′′ I don't know when it's going to end," it's a state of hope removed," so it's mentally quite a bit of a I feel depressed.
If you think so, ′′ hope ′′ is what we need to live, so I thought that providing ′′ the reason to see above ′′ is also one of the work of our expressions. I'm sorry.
The movie ′′ a town ′′ has risen to the public next year, but," no, no, let's publish this year!" I was selfish.
I know it's hard, but that's why I'm going to do my best in the middle of the day, and I'm going to do my best, and I'm going to do my
If you can show the appearance," oh, if you try to die in this way, you'll find a find," and you'll be able to become someone's scale, and you'll be able to publish this year. I went to the crossing.
The main visual is all about that feeling," I saw it in a town where I can't find a star, and I still keep looking up,"
I would be happy if this painting would be the amulet of the person who works hard.
If you can buy online bangabandhu, you'll be able to follow it with special benefits, so come on!
https://mvtk.jp/Film/070395
And it's the second one of the important announcement.
Last night, I talked about a live broadcast on Youtube, but Hyde's love exploded, and I talked about it for almost 1 hours, so I'm going to have a short summary of it.
The opening theme song ′′ Halloween party persie ver." for the movie ′′ a ′′ has started.
Here → https://hyde.lnk.to/hppoupelleTP
Hyde is singing with the kids, but this is really cool to be surprised, so please listen to it once.
I've been listening to it about 20 times since last night.
This song was originally announced around 2012
It's already very nice...... soon, Halloween will be rooted as one culture in Japan, and after that, various Halloween songs came out in the world, but I personally, over this song ′′ You didn't meet the Halloween song.
I knew it was a prude.
Even when I wrote the script of the opening scene of the movie ′′ a in town ′′ I've been playing this song for a long time, and I wrote the opening to be pulled by this song.
So, when I finally got to the stage of ′′ Let's make an opening song," no, wait a minute,"
Since 2012, I didn't have a song over Hyde's ′′ Halloween party ′′ and I wrote a book to fit this song while playing ′′ Halloween party ′′ in the first place.
In this condition," I thought I could make a song over Halloween party?"
So," I'm going to ask Hyde to use this song once," So," if you don't do it, let's make it hard," the story was organised.
As expected," good things are good,"
It's better to be able to take a look at the ego, not to ′′ do it yourself ′′ but if you're going to be aya by something wonderful.
I thought it was the work of the production general command.
So, I asked Hyde for a bad time, and this is really a blessing, and Hyde was a fan of ′′ a town ′′ in the first place, and I was delighted to give you ′′ okay ′′
There's never been such a blessing.
And more thankful is from here.
My Hyde love is exploding from here, but...... when it comes to the movie theater, the standard changes, and even more, there is also a balance with the music before and after, and this time, I'm going to have a ′′ Halloween party ′′ for the movie You needed to arrange it.
Hyde from there was really the best, but Hyde-San, it's not the end of offering songs.
′′ a town ′′ doesn't sound like this or ′′ the sound of listening from the smoke is this way it's really a ton of place for the movie.
In a TV interview, I received a light feeling like ′′ okay, okay I feel like I'm going to have a quick time, but I'm going to have a good time, but I'm going to have a good time with the ′′ place dating ′′ that everyone is thinking about. Thank you for dating me.
The lyrics are slightly different.
There was originally a word ′′ Moonlight ′′ in the lyrics, but ′′ a town ′′ is a town that is covered in smoke and does not know the sky, so I don't even know the moon, so the ′′ Moonlight ′′ is ′′ thin ′′ It's been a light, and other things that are not in a town, I left it from the lyrics and changed it to a town specification.
And also great compatibility with children's voice!
Rock musician and kids are fused with a mess.
In One Word, it means ′′ I like Hyde,"
In my school days, I was a part-time job, and I was able to do a concert staff of ral ann.
The staff has to turn back on the stage and see the customer, but both ears are all looking for the stage, and actually, the live of the time, and the sugawara-kun before he still met. And I was a staff, and sugawara-kun was a customer, and I was able to participate in the live of Mr. Ral.
Sometimes it's going to be a story with sugawara-kun, but that day, I saw that live, and I saw Mr. Ral on stage, and I was also the same as sugawara-kun, and we aim for it ′′ It was a comedy, but when I captured it as a little bigger frame, I thought, ′′ someday, I'd like to go to the other side,"
It was really sparkling.
I've always thought that I want to go to the other side while cleaning up the pipe chair at the evacuation of the concert.
So, this time, I'm going to be with you in this form, and I'm going to have a good time with my hope that day, and if there's a time machine, I'll go back to that day ′′ you're so messed up I want to tell him that if you do your best, you'll be able to do it
Well, anyway, the ′′ Halloween party ′′ that Hyde recreated for the movie ′′ a no-in-town ′′ is really the best, so please listen to it.
Later, ′′ I'm left ′′ is disgusting, so I'm going to have a good time with Hyde, and I'm going to have a good time with Hyde, and I'm going to have a good time with all the fans who have been able to support Hyde for a long time, and I'm going to I will give back.
We will announce it in early November.
With the action, I will tell the world that Hyde, who made my chest hot that day, is so cool,"
Look forward to it.

前幾天川普正式成了美國總統。
美國各大州各大城市聚集了超過幾百萬的女性們站出來遊行。
其中一位來自洛杉磯曾經被性虐待過的歌手Milck特地寫了這首歌"I CAN'T KEEP QUIET"。並在網路上和另外26位從沒見過的女網友練習,直到遊行現場第一次見面並正式合唱。
我聽了一次之後就久久不能忘記那旋律和歌詞。他們用愛感化了全場。
These women are from different states and never met till today. They practiced this song online. I was crying the whole time I filmed this. Show them some love. #WomensMarch #ANTHEM #Icantkeepquiet #TogetherWeRise
SECOND DAY - Woke up to 2.5 million views! Hello world x I'm adding some more details here because everyone is asking in private messages and I can't answer y'all but I'm so incredibly happy and thankful. So to answer.... I'm a film and commercial director (www.almaharel.com) and was in the march to support women of all races around the world coming together and get heard. I did not know these women and the artist. I now found out she goes under the name of MILCK (Icantkeepquiet.org) and that she gathered women from all around the country to sing this #Anthem at the #WomensMarch . They practiced it online using Skype and they only met once before the march. Some met that day for the first time!
I was lucky or sent (depending on your preference) to stumble upon her.
My phone's battery died from the cold and I was lost and with out my friends who were back stage. I was wondering around trying to navigate the incredible crowds when I found my self this pocket of space around these women. When they started singing, I checked on my phone frustrated that it's dead and it suddenly sprung back to life... :) hence missing the beginning. This song and it's sentiment made me cry tears of relief the whole time I was filming it. The beauty and the harmony of their voices captured for me how women can come together to find their voice. I find it healing and empowering in the best possible way.
No one can explain you the feeling of being surrounded by that number of women from every race who come together all around the world. 627 marches! #TOGETHERWERISE None of us are free until we are all free. This march was special because it accounted for all women of all races. Women of color and poor women are most likely to suffer more from this administration than anyone. Same goes for immigrants. We marched for people who identify as LGBTQIA, Native people, Muslims, people with disabilities and all our communities that "are hurting and scared".
ALSO stop trying to tell us we don't know what's happening in the middle east... I am from the middle east and this song is for women everywhere.
Stop dividing us.
HUGE GRATITUDE to the 3 WOMEN OF COLOR WHO ORGANIZED WOMEN'S MARCH @TamikaDMallory @lsarsour @msladyjustice1 and to Angela Davis, Dolores Huerta, Gloria Steinem and the millions of women who marched!
Let me finish by posting all the lyrics for I CAN'T KEEP QUIET. Let's make it our #Anthem. I hope to sing it with you on our next march because WHEN WE HARMONIZE THEY CAN'T DIVIDE US.
#TogetherWeRise #OneWomansRiot #iCantkeepquiet
“Quiet”
Written by MILCK and AG
Produced by AG
put on your face
know your place
shut up and smile
don’t spread your legs
I could do that
But no one knows me no one ever will
if I don’t say something, if I just lie still
Would I be that monster, scare them all away
If I let the-em hear what I have to say
I can’t keep quiet, no oh oh oh oh oh oh
I can’t keep quiet, no oh oh oh oh oh oh
A one woman riot, oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
I can’t keep quiet
For anyone
Anymore
Cuz no one knows me no one ever will
if I don’t say something, take that dry blue pill
they may see that monster, they may run away
But I have to do this, do it anyway
I can’t keep quiet, no oh oh oh oh oh oh
I can’t keep quiet, no oh oh oh oh oh oh
A one woman riot, oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh I can’t keep quiet
Let it out Let it out
Let it out now
There’ll be someone who understands
Let it out Let it out
Let it out now
Must be someone who’ll understand
Let it out Let it out
Let it out now
There’ll be someone who understands
Let it out Let it out
Let it out now
I can’t keep quiet

我是國榮。來自澳洲昆士蘭省,讀中學時成績非常好,分數已足夠在大學選讀任何一科。當時我希望成為一名醫生,因為可以幫助他人。我在新南威爾斯大學讀醫科,第一年是住在雪梨北區一個朋友家中,第二年入住大學國際宿舍,宿舍規定最少有半數是留學生,不是澳洲人。最先兩年結識了不少香港、新加玻、馬來西亞的朋友,與他們很合得來,不過最重要是入住宿舍後,便遇到了香港的流行歌曲。有一天我行經走廊時,聽到一些很悅耳的音樂,我便問同學這是甚麽歌曲及可否借給我欣賞,他便借了給我。我已忘記是Leslie還是Alan的歌,但肯定是其中一位。因為很喜歡這些歌曲,便到唐人街購買,後來一邊聽歌一邊看歌詞,因此慢慢地學識了很多中文字。
因為喜歡唱歌,所以在大學的同學活動,開始演唱中文歌,也曾參加香港學生會舉辦的歌唱比賽,參賽歌曲是「愛的根源」,結果獲得亞軍。我很清楚記得,國際宿舍為了文化交流,每年舉辦一次國際晚宴,希望不同種族的學生可以表演和分享文化。Leslie在一九八五年 唱Monica獲得獎項,那是一首我很喜歡的歌曲,所以在文化交流晚會我便選擇唱Monica。當時同學覺得很驚奇,我怎可能唱Monica。我是跟着錄影帶,學習他的舞步和唱歌技巧。我不停地在公眾地方練習,其他同學看到我很用心練習,也過來幫助我。在台上表演時有幾位同學為我伴舞,當晚演出非常成功。
一九八五年Leslie和幾位香港天皇巨星,來澳洲開演唱會。演唱會的主辦公司,需要義務司機,朋友問我能否當義務司機。我答應了,後來知道是當Leslie的司機。有一天他放假不用排練,我們便駕車往坎培拉,當日天氣多雲有微雨,甚麽也看不清楚,喝過咖啡後便離開,回程是Leslie駕駛,他的英語非常好,途中我們愉快地暢談,這次旅程對我來說是很重要的事情。
一九八六年Alan到來澳洲,我又當了他的司機。在他入住的酒店,介紹人在偶像面前,誤把我的名字說成河詠麟,當時在偶像面前我也不懂怎樣矯正。大約有兩年很多人以為我是河詠麟。他的四位女和音,知道我懂得唱他的歌,所以告訴了他,在排練那天他叫我上台一起唱。認識Leslie 和Alan兩位巨星,對我的影響很大,聽到他們的歌,和看到觀眾的反應,我開始對香港的歌唱發展很重視。
因為常常想着唐人街和唱歌,沒有用功讀書,因此醫科的第三年考試不合格,需要重讀,在一九八六年重讀了三個月便決定退學。
後來做了三份洗碗碟工作,還做了個多月砌磚的工作,我把工作一年多,所得工資儲起來,買了一張單程機票和帶了一千澳元,便到來香港發展。唯一的準備是問一個朋友能否到他的家中居住。他的父親很勉強地答應,但需要收租金。我甚麽準備也沒有,只是刻意買了一張單程機票,是因為不想遇到少許困難便放棄,返回澳洲。
初到香港時甚麼都不認識,沒有計劃,也沒有朋友。我最先是住在廣播道,但我的朋友不是在那裡居住,因為他還在讀書。初來時沒有事做,所以在外面逛了幾天,有一天意外地行到紅磡體育館,中門外有四名男士在吸煙,他們竟然叫我河詠麟。原來他們是Alan的樂隊成員,在一九八六年見過面,但相隔一年,竟然還可以記起我,這就是緣分。當時Alan正在為演唱會排練,他們帶我進去體育館,這樣便再見到Alan。一九八七年的演唱會是三十一場,我看了三十場。本來打算看足三十一場,但是有少許問題出現,因為我住的地方有規定,晚上十時半後便會關門,不會再讓人進出。但演唱會是不會這麽早便完場,每晚看完演唱會,我會行去尖沙嘴,然後再步行回廣播道,然後在公園外的石椅小睡,到五時公園開門便進去睡覺,但最終因捱不住,有一晚沒有去看演唱會。有一次Alan突然問我,今晚可否上台唱歌,我說當然可以,便成為他的嘉賓。我第一次表演Alan十分開心,但第二次他在台上介紹,有一個外國人,唱他的歌十分出色,當他呼喚河詠麟出場,因為我不在場,所以沒有出現。後來他問我為何沒有出現,我便向他解釋原因,他便安排我入住酒店,直到演唱會完結。所以便有第三次呼喚我上台,這是我第二次成為嘉賓跟他一起唱「朋友」,真是十分興奮。到八月他的生日會也有邀請我做嘉賓,其實每一件發生的事情都是有關係的。
後來我在北角僑冠大厦租了一間劏房居住,有一次從北角行到中環,看到一間職業介紹公司的招聘啟示,我便前往應徵。當時職員說我可以教英文,但我不是教師,他認為沒有問題,便介紹我到一間補習社工作。在補習社工作了幾個月,有一位同事看到一張電視台的海報,需要招聘 一個西方人,但要懂得說中文。我致電應徵,他是一位獨立經紀,我說沒有經驗和廣東話也不是很好,他說沒有問題。我便去見一位電視台女監製,她給我一段英文劇本,要我讀出來。因為很緊張,五分鐘都不能出聲,我跟自己說,不嘗試會後侮一生。那一段對白是警官責備下級,責備人一定是很大聲的,所以我便很大聲說出來。當時她正在做自己的事,沒有再理會我,但我的叫聲使她大吃一驚。因為沒有其他外國人給她選擇,她無奈地聘請了我,這套劇集需要兩個西方人,另外一位是當主角,從那時開始,便在電視台工作了二十年。
二零一四年九月我在N o w T V的一個音樂節目做嘉賓,在一間音樂室裡我和三位節目主持人,唱歌和談論音樂。到最近才知道,他們三位是100毛的老闆。到聖誕100毛找我拍攝雜誌封面,我不知為何找我拍攝封面,原來三位老闆是認識我的,只是我自己不知道。
二零一五年八月他們聯絡我,他們有一首歌,問我會否願意演唱,那首歌曲我很熟悉,歌詞十分口語化,應該可以學到的。但當時是星期五,表演是在星期日,只得兩天時間作準備,所以我很用心練習。舞台是有電視屏幕可以看到歌詞,但我盡量避免看電視屏幕,只是有需要時才看一看,便可以放心地唱。能夠上台非常開心,我可以扮了演一個角色,唱一首悅耳和有趣的歌,觀眾很熱鬧和興奮,真是十分難得。我知道這是一生一次,這不是自己可以做到,是他們給我機會。那首歌很受歡迎,而且登上了流行榜。聖誕節前他們聯絡我,表示將會舉辦總選,問我會否參加,我便欣然答應了。當天每位表演者,會有兩首歌曲,在十二月廿六日接到新歌,我從沒有聽過那首歌,是一首說唱歌曲,而且歌詞很陌生,對我來說十分困難,所以我不停地練習了四百多次。當晚表演由Now T V直播,有七十萬人觀看,想不到自己能夠獲得香港區最受歡迎男歌星獎,當宣佈我的名字時,極度開心,無人能想到,唱出真香港的歌曲,是由一個西方人唱出,可以感動到別人。這是天時地利人和,超乎現實,簡直是一個奇蹟。因為那首歌不是我揀選,是別人給我的,練習這首歌時眼睛常常都會充了滿淚水和很感動。
西方人在香港發展演藝事業是十分困難的,機會不多,只能扮演一些無關重要的角色,但我從來沒有想過放棄。五年前我計劃灌錄一張唱片,因為胃酸倒流,把聲帶灼傷,使我聲音變得沙啞,這件事使我非常懊惱,因為辛苦練習多年,卻發生了這個問題,後來我矯正了唱歌方法,問題得以改善,可以繼續唱歌,現在準備為唱片再進行錄音工作。
最近有很多關於少數族裔的事情出現在我身上 ,現在我為一個港台節目做旁白,是關於少數族裔在香港。他們在本地娛樂圈發展是十分困難,因為在一個有九成是同一種族的地方,看電視或電影,也是會看自己的種族,未必會看少數族裔。如果他們幾個人合作,做一個節目,然後在網上發放,是有機會成功。香港有很多少數族裔居住,有些人的中文比我好,他們也愛香港。
我心目中的香港人,是要做香港人做的事,吃香港人吃的食物,關心香港,不看膚色,希望他們也能說廣東話,最重要是覺得香港是自己的家,這便是真正的香港人。
I am Gregory. I hail from Queensland, Australia. During my high school years, my grades were excellent. They were good enough for me to enroll in any subject that I wanted to in university. At that time, I wanted to become a doctor because I could help others. I studied Medicine at the University of New South Wales. In my first year, I lived in my friend’s home located in North Sydney. During my second year, I lived in International House at the university. It was a rule for the school campus to have at least 50 percent overseas students. They cannot be Australians. I met a lot of Hong Kong, Singaporean and Malaysian friends in my first two years. I was able to get along with them very well. But what is most important was that after living in International House, I came across Hong Kong pop music. One day I was walking along the corridors and overheard beautifully melodic music. I asked my classmate what music he was listening to and if he could lend me the music to listen to. He leant it to me.
I have forgotten whether it was the music of Leslie or Alan. But I am sure it was one of them because I really liked that kind of music. I went to Chinatown to buy it. Eventually, I listened to the music as I read the lyrics. In turn, I slowly picked up a lot of Chinese characters.
I attended many different functions to perform Cantonese songs in university because I really liked to sing. I also attended a singing competition organized by the Hong Kong student association. The competition song was ‘Root of Love’. In the end I won second runner-up. I clearly remember International House wanted to organize cultural exchanges so they held international banquets each year. Their hope was for students from different ethnic backgrounds to perform and share their culture.
In 1985, Leslie won an award for singing ‘Monica’. It was a song that I really loved. During the international cultural exchange banquet, I chose to sing ‘Monica’. At that time my classmates were very surprised. How can I sing ‘Monica’? I followed the videos to learn the dance steps and singing techniques. I kept on practicing in public. Other students witnessed how hard I was practicing and came over to help me out. A few classmates became my accompanying dancers as I danced on stage. The performance that night was extremely successful.
Leslie and a group of Hong Kong superstars visited Australia to hold concerts in 1985. The concert organizer needed a voluntary driver. My friends asked me whether I wanted to be the voluntary driver. I accepted the offer. In the end I found out that I would become Leslie’s driver. There was one day when he was on break and did not need to rehearse. We drove to Canberra. It was cloudy and there was light rain on that day. We could not see clearly. After having a coffee, we left. Leslie was next to drive. His English was very good. During the journey back we chatted happily. The trip was very important to me.
In 1986, Alan came to Australia. I was also his driver. Our mutual friend misread my name as “Ho Wing Lun” in front of my idol during his stay at the hotel. I was not able to correct him at the time because Alan (“Wing Lun”) was my idol. Many people thought I was called “Ho Wing Lun” for around two years. His four back-up singers knew I was able to sing Alan’s songs. That was why they told him about it. During rehearsal day, he told me to sing with him on stage. Knowing superstars like Leslie and Alan had a great impact on me. To be able to listen to their songs and to witness the reactions from the audience led me to become interested in a singing career in Hong Kong.
I did not put in a lot of effort in my studies because I always thought of Chinatown and singing. Consequently, I failed my medical examinations in my third year. I had to re-take my subjects. In 1986, I re-took my studies for three months but then I decided to quit school.
In the end I juggled three dish washing jobs and also many months of brick laying work. I saved up a whole year of my salary and bought a one-way ticket to Hong Kong. I also carried $1000 Australian dollars on me. I then went to Hong Kong to develop my career. I only asked my friend whether I could stay at his place as preparation to living in my new homeland. His father reluctantly agreed but had to receive rent. I did not have anything equipped or prepared. I only purposely bought a one-way ticket because I did not want to easily give up when I encountered minor difficulties and return to Australia.
When I first arrived in Hong Kong, I did not know anything. I did not have any plans. I also did not have any friends. Initially, I lived in Broadcast Drive but my friend did not live there because he was still studying. I did not have anything to do at first. That was why I hung around Hong Kong for several days. One day, by coincidence, I came across Hung Hom Coliseum. At the entrance, there were four men smoking. They noticed me and surprisingly called out “Ho Wing Lun”. They were, in fact, members of Alan’s band. We have first met in 1986. Surprisingly, they remembered me after a whole year. That is called fate. At that time, Alan was preparing for his concert. The four men brought me inside the Coliseum. I saw Alan. There were 31 shows in his 1987 concert. I watched 30 of them. I intended to watch all 31 shows but there was a slight problem. There were rules at my guest house. After ten thirty each night, the door to the home will be locked. Nobody was allowed to enter or leave the house. But concerts do not end so early. So, after watching each concert in the evening, I would walk to Tsim Sha Tsui and then walk back to Broadcast Drive. I would sleep on the concreate seats outside the park. When the park opens at five in the morning, I will go in and sleep. Eventually, I was unable to handle it. One night I cannot watch a show. Once Alan asked me “Can you sing on stage tonight?” I told him “Of course I can.” I became his special guest. Alan was extremely happy when I first performed. By the second show, he announced that: “There is a westerner who can sing my songs very well.” He called out my name “Ho Wing Lun!” But because I was not at the scene, I did not show up. Eventually, he asked me why I did not show up. I explained my reason to him. He then arranged a hotel for me to stay at until the end of the concert. That was why he was able to call me out the third time! That was my second time as special guest singing “Friends” with him. It was exhilarating. In August, he introduced me as a special guest at his birthday party. Actually, everything happens for a reason and everything is interconnected.
Soon after, I rented a tiny flat at a building in North Point to live in. I walked from North Point to Central once. I came across a recruitment agency looking to hire. I went in to give it a shot. At that time, the staff said I could teach English but I was not a teacher. The staff said it was not a problem and introduced me to work at a learning center. After working there for a few months, a colleague saw a TV station’s poster. They were looking to recruit a westerner but that person needs to be able to speak Cantonese. I called to give it a try. The person who answered was an independent agent. I told that agent I had no experience and my Cantonese was not very good. The agent told me it was not a problem. I went to see the TV station’s female producer. She gave me an English script and wanted me to read it out. I was so nervous that I did not utter a word in five minutes. I told myself, if I do not try, I will regret it for life. The dialogue depicted a police telling off a subordinate. When you tell someone off, you must be very loud so, I read my lines out very loudly. At that time, the female producer was doing her own work and did not care about me but because I was so loud, I frightened her! As there were no other westerners for her to choose from, she had no choice but to hire me. The TV show required two westerners. The other westerner played the main character. From then onwards, I worked at the TV station for twenty years.
In September 2014, I appeared as a guest on a NowTV music program. I was in a band room with the three show hosts. We sang and discussed music. Only recently, I found out that they were the Founders of 100 Most. When it was Christmas, 100 Most invited me to appear on the cover of their magazine. I did not know why they wanted me to do it – only to find out that the Founders of the magazine already knew who I was! It was just me who did not know that.
In August 2015, 100 Most contacted me and asked me whether I wanted to sing this particular song. I was very familiar with the song lyrics. The lyrics were very colloquial. I should be able to learn it. It was Friday. The performance was on Sunday. I only had two days to prepare for it. That was why I practiced very hard. The stage showcased the lyrics. But I tried my best not to look at them. I would only glance at them when I needed to. I felt more confident and assured as I sang.
I was extremely elated to be able to perform on stage. I can play a role singing a wonderful and amusing song. The audience was super warm and excited. It was a moment to be treasured. I know this can only happen once in my life. It cannot be done by myself. It is because I was given a chance by 100 Most. The song was very popular and hit the charts. Before Christmas, 100 Most contacted me and expressed that there would be a final election of the songs. They asked me whether I would like to participate. I was more than happy to give it a try. On the day of the show, each contestant would have two songs.
On the 26th of December, I received the new song. I have never heard of the song before. It was a rap song. I was very unfamiliar with the lyrics. I found them very difficult. That was why I kept practicing it for more than four hundred times. The show was broadcasted live by NowTV. Around seven hundred thousand people watched the broadcast. I cannot imagine winning the Best Hong Kong Male Singer. When my name was announced, I was extremely delighted. Nobody can imagine that a westerner was able to sing a song about ‘real Hong Kong’. It can touch people. It was something that happened at the right place and at the right time. It was also surreal and a complete miracle. It is because the song was not selected by me. It was given to me by others. My eyes were often wet from practicing this song. I was very touched.
It is very difficult for westerners to develop their artistry in the entertainment industry. Chances are slim. They can only play roles that are irrelevant and unimportant. But I never thought of giving up. Five years ago I planned to record my own album. But because of stomach acid reflux, my vocal chords got damaged. My voice became hoarse and coarse. It brought me a lot of frustrations because I have worked hard for many years. Then this happened. I then amended my singing techniques and the issue improved significantly. I was able to sing again. I am now working on re-recording my new album.
A lot of ethnic minority issues materialized around me as of late. I am currently the voice over for a RTHK program about ethnic minorities in Hong Kong. It is very hard for them to develop their career in the local entertainment industry. It is because when 90 percent of the people share the same skin color comes together in a particular place, those watching TV or film will tend to watch people of their own skin color. They may not watch ethnic minorities. If a group of ethnic minorities work together to create a program for the web, it may work out. There are a lot of ethnic minorities residing in Hong Kong. Some of their Chinese is better than mine. They also love Hong Kong very much.
‘Hong Kongers’, to me, are people who need to do things ‘Hong Kongers’ do. Eat Hong Kong food. Care about Hong Kong. And do not look at skin color. I hope they can also speak Cantonese. Most importantly, they should regard Hong Kong as their home. Then, they are ‘real Hong Kongers’.

This is an English cover of "Sekai ni Hitotsu Dake no Hana" (The Only Flower in the World), a well-known song performed by Japanese boy band SMAP (founded in 1988 and disbanded just last year in 2016), with lyrics by singer-songwriter Noriyuki Makihara.
While I usually create my own translations, there was already a fantastic English version of this song by Hiromi De Young (YouTube linked below in the credits), and a great translation of the chorus by Nelson Babin-Coy (channel also linked). I used my favorite parts of each of these and made a few of my own changes.
I hope this song's message of acceptance and uniqueness reaches a larger audience through my cover.
Enjoy!
*Note: As usual, most of the translation is very close to the original meaning, but the second pre-chorus (the verse starting with "I saw a small flower...") is actually quite different from the original. However, I loved these lyrics so much that I kept them :)
The original meaning of the verse in Japanese is:
I didn't even know his name
But he gave me a smile that day
Just like a flower that was blooming
In a place where nobody would notice it
~♪~♪~♪~♪~♪~
今日は、昨年解散したSMAPの「世界に一つだけの花」を英語で歌ってみました♪
今回の英語詞はいつもと違って他人の訳詞を使わせていただきました。Hiromi De Youngによる素晴らしい英訳とNelson Babin-Coyによるサビ部分の素敵な英訳に、自分の変更を少し入れて歌わせていただきました。(お二人のYouTubeチャンネルへのリンクは下記のクレジットに記載しました。)
私のカバーを通じて、他人に対する寛容さと個性の大切さという、この曲のメッセージがより多くの人に伝わると嬉しいです。Enjoy!
※ちなみに、この英訳はいつものようにかなり原曲の歌詞に近いのですが、2番目のBメロ(「I saw a small flower」から始まるところ)だけが原曲の意味とかなり離れています。それでも、ここの英語詞があまりにも素敵だったのでそのままにしました(^^)/
I saw a small flower as I walked by
通り過ぎたら小さな花を見つけた
It stretched from the shadows to reach for the sky
その花は影の中から空へと伸びていた
I thought to myself, what if I was that way
そして思った 私もその花と同じように
Reaching for my own dream and saying...
自分の夢に手を伸ばして こう言おう

No. 1にならなくてもいい
(No. 1 ni naranakute mo ii)
もともと特別なOnly one
(moto-moto tokubetsu na "Only one")
I saw all the flowers lined up on display
The shop full of colors with their scented embrace
We all have a blossom we like more than the rest
But I think, with flowers, they all are the best
No fighting or envy, they never contend
But smile in the sunlight and sway in the wind
They all know their mission, it fills them with pride
Everyone is different yet all are alike
I wonder why people must always compare
And judge one another it seems so unfair
To place color, status, and looks to the test
For how can these show us who’s the best?
Just like these flowers
In the whole wide world, you are one of a kind
Cherish your uniqueness, no, you don't need to hide it
Each one of us holds our own special seed
So just be true to you, that's all you'll ever need
A man stood beside me and peered with a sigh
He puzzled and pondered but could not decide
With so many flowers and various hues
All were so pretty, which one should he choose?
Suddenly, a big smile broke out on his face
Flowers in all different colors and shapes
He gathered up a bouquet with one of each kind
Hugging them softly with joy in his mind
I saw a small flower as I walked by
It stretched from the shadows to reach for the sky
I thought to myself, what if I was that way
Reaching for my own dream and saying...
そうさ 僕らも世界に一つだけの花
(sou sa bokura mo sekai ni hitotsu dake no hana)
一人一人違う種を持つ
(hitori hitori chigau tane wo motsu)
その花を咲かせることだけに
(sono hana wo sakaseru koto dake ni)
一生懸命になればいい
(isshou-kenmei ni nareba ii)
Small flowers, big flowers, all kinds of flowers
You will never find one that’s just like any other
So you don’t need to struggle to be number one
Just be yourself because there’s only one
La la la la...
