She is not only a teacher and a teacher, but also a harp performer. She has spread out a lot of things. We have prepared the oldest instrument of harp. What is harp? In the beginning, it was in the olden days... In the olden days? Yes. The olden days, the olden days of taiko. At that time, we used a tree, a bow, and we used to spread wagons. We did it. We played with the sound unconsciously. We had a chance to use that sound. We had a chance to use that sound. I think it is not the case. We are using the olden days, and it is used more in communication. In ancient times, there was the Mesopotamian civilization. There was the Mesopotamian civilization, right? Yes. The ancient Egyptian civilization. Yes. At that time, there was a harp on the pyramid wall. There was a harp on the pyramid wall, too? Yes. So the harp is an image of Gilesian Apollon. Yes. At that time, there was the Apollon civilization. Yes. In ancient Egypt, there was a harp on the pyramid wall. At that time, it was also used as a medicine. It was used as a medicine? Yes. Was the harp a medicine? Of course, it was used as a medicine to be pulled out of the palace. Other than that, it was also used as a medicine to heal the mountains. Yes. It is a history that is based on the spirit and the body of Gilesian Apollon. The harp is not only a instrument, but a medicine to heal the spirit and the mountains of the body. Yes. It is a medicine to go to the instrument. It's a new name, so it's a move. It was used in that way. Yes. Yes. In the Gilesian era, the Gilesian scene. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. I would like to hear from you later. Yes. Yes. I started playing the harp when I was two years old. Oh, you played the piano when you were two years old? Yes. Yes. When I was 15 years old, I went to the harp shop. You went to the harp shop? Yes. What was the reason? I was always longing for it. I was longing for it. Yes. From the first time I heard it, from the time I heard the sound, I was shown the sound. You were shown the sound? Yes. When did you first hear it? When I first saw the musical. Yes. When I was a child. Yes. Since it is a musical, the orchestra cannot see the stage below. Yes. The sound of the harp was heard. Yes. I really wanted to hear it. I saw the musical. Yes. The musical was over. Yes. I went to see the orchestra. Yes. And there was a harp. It was a real harp. It was a big grand harp. Yes. It was a grand harp. Yes. It was a big orchestra, but it was a big harp. You were shown it. Yes. At that time, it was not known as a harp yet. Yes. Since you were playing the piano, you played music. Yes. Do you still have the experience of playing the orchestra? Yes. You went to see it. Yes. Yes. At that time, I was surprised. Yes. I was surprised when I saw it on TV. Yes. Yes. It was like a life for the harp. Yes. I felt like I had met someone. Yes. Yes. I was going to go to the harp in college. Yes. Do you want to go to the harp? I came to the university of music. Yes. I entered the Japanese music university of the harp club. I see. Yes. Today, we are going to talk about the portable harp. Yes. Do you want to hear it? Yes. I would like to hear it. First of all, compared to what I am talking about, this is a small harp. Yes. Yes. The harp you see in the orchestra has 47 strings. It is a full concert type. It is a brand harp. It is a brand harp. Yes. It has three pedals on the left and three pedals on the right. There is a pedal. Yes. If you think about it simply, this is the discovery of the piano. Yes. This is a hook. The pedal harp is on the bottom. This is the discovery of the piano. I see. This is how you change the instrument. Yes. This is the first time I have shown you this. It is a blue, red, and yellow. It is shiny. Yes. This harp has 29 strings. 29 strings. Yes. There are 29 strings. The strings have various colors. Yes. The four octaves. Yes. The four octaves. Yes. How about red? You can see it. It is red. It may be a little difficult to see. Yes. This is red. It is decided to be red. Red. Yes. This blue. Yes. Sometimes it is a little deep green. Yes. But this is a fardon. Yes. You can see it like this. It may have a little color. Yes. You may have a look at this. This is red. It is red all the time. It may be a little difficult to see on the screen. I would like you to listen to this. It is an apollo world. I will write it on the shoulder. Like this. Yes. The harp does not use a small finger. It does not use a small finger. Yes. I will play it with eight fingers. I will play it with eight fingers. Yes. Sounds like this. Sounds good. It is amazing. It is coming. It sounds like it is wrapped. Yes. It is said to be a sound of heaven. 天上というのは天国の天上ですね。 そうですね。 こちらの方になると高い響く音ですよね。 どこして少し置いていただいていいですか? 今聞いて美しいなというふうに思うんですが、 どこが薬なんですか? そうですね。 この音というものは 音の成り立ちというものは 音の高さと音の大きさと ネイルというものが構成されている音を作っていますけれども ネイルというものが とても音楽のエネルギーのようなものだと思います。 音楽のエネルギー? 音にはバイオンというものが含まれています。 これは1倍、2倍、3倍のバイですね。 はい、そうです。バイの音。 例えばバイオンというのは 整数ととのった数、整数 整数分かれるんですが 数学の話になるんですか? はい、かなり数学っぽいんですけど そこが面白いところなんですが 整数の整った整数で ずっとバイオンが続けて出ていく 人間の脳とか真心機能を向上する そういうメカニズムがあるんですか? あるんですか? 整数を聴いているところ 何か脳に影響があるってそういう感じなんですか? それは整数のバイオンを聴くと 心地よくてずっとリラックスして聴いている バイオンを聴くと 私たちの話声ですとか 水の流れるとか 鶏の鳴き声とかにも 全てバイオンが吹こまれているんですけど あまりキャッチすることはできないんです あまり意識してませんよね? 気持ちいいなとか この人の声 気持ちいいな という眠たいなみたいな それは良いことであって 科学的とみますと それはバイオンが吹こまれている か眠くなるんですけど それはやはり脳派 バイオンっていうことなんですけど 例えば私たちドレミファソラシドって なりますよね こっちの脳がバイオンになってるんですか? そういう意味じゃないんですか? それではなくて 脳を弾きますと 脳を弾きなさいっていう意味は 脳を弾きますけど 実は耳、ファン、ラン、シモ いろんな音が鳴り合ってて 脳を形成してるんです そうなんです 例えば みなさんが 始める前に みなさんあせますよね ラーの音で 440Hz と決まってるんですが 440Hz いきますと 880Hz その上の1760Hz そういう意味のお前よ その整数で増えていくんですよね 人間の 可能な聞き取れる 周波数 ヘルスで合わせますけど 人間が聞き取れる 可能な周波数 以上の周波数 公周波を ハープで 浴びれるっていうことは 440 880 と続きますよね 筋を止めない限り ずっと 鼻を響いて 耳は聞こえてないように 耳しているという 細胞で 体でキャッチしている 細胞でキャッチする そうですよ どういう意味の癒やしなんですか それが 医学的に 証明されていて アメリカの 例えば ランの センターであったり あとは 字法書 うつ そういう さまざまな あんなくし 質問なんですけど ハープ以外は そういうバイオンの あれはないんですか ハープ以外の楽器でも 出ますが 例えば ピアノだと ハンマーを通して 弦を 弾きますよね ペダルを踏んでいると 次の音に行くと 消えます これはそうめない限り ずーっと続いていけます そういう意味で バイオンがずーっと 体に なんていうんですか バイオンシャワーを 浴びているという感じ バイオンシャワーだそうです それが 精音ですか 手数のことである場合 癒やしが もちろんメールとか いい音楽 メロディーもあって 自分の好きな曲です そういう感情の部分も 入ってきて 癒やしに 繋がる部分も あります なるほど ということは おこどお休みをいただいて 後輩にお話をして いただきたいと思いますけど ただの 音楽だけではなくて この数字とか 十八数とか バイオンとかという どういう面が あるというところが ミソというか そうですね 他の楽器にも ないことはないんですけど もちろんありますけど これはすごく健重に 現れると思います それで 精さんは つかりそれに このほうで入ったんですけど こうでちょっと お休みいただいて また後半 精さんに 引き続きお話を いただきたいと思います It's a really interesting show.

Yes, elementary school. How are the children interested in it? The eyes are sparkling. The neck. I knew it. It's similar to when I was 10 years old. That's right. At first, you put it on your knees like this. How do you do it? When you are a child, you put it on the floor. You put out the sound and play. Everyone is looking at you seriously. The concentration is high. I see. The child is calm. The sound is calm. Next one, please. This guy is a little higher. You can play with your little hands. Yes. Are you about 10 years old? No, I was already an adult. I thought you were a lady. Yes, I thought you were a lady. Next picture, please. Next picture, please. This is... This is a person who has been abroad for a long time. This person came from Japan to Hawaii. This is a tour called the Naya Dolphin Healing Program in Japan. There are people who come together. There are also people who come to Hawaii. This tour is called the healing of the face. We are going to include the HAARP program there. At that time, we are going to share the time of healing with HAARP. This person was born in the 20s. She used to dance. She used to be a fan of Hawaii. It depends on her parents. Then, do you listen to the Hawaii wedding song? Yes, I listen to it. I hold my fingers. In this case, I play the song. You play the song by yourself. I can't play it by myself. I hold my fingers and stretch them. When I play it, my tears get washed away. I don't use my fingers, but I use my hands when I'm busy. So I play the song 3 times a day. Really? I was very happy. This person... Thank you very much. I'll give you a lecture on healing. ではこういう活動もされていて本当にハープがお薬だというところをやってらっしゃるわけですよね クラスを取る方もここでいらっしゃると 教室の方でキーリングというのは別のクラスですけれども ハープ奏者を育てるという要請するというレッスンを行っています ちょっとここでどこに連絡させていただくと例えばハープが習えるのかとか ハープを購入してみたいという方はどういうふうにしたらいいのか アオヤマハープハワイで検索させていただいても大丈夫です アオヤマハープハワイ それで検索していただいたの大丈夫です あとはマノアの方で教室とハープのサロンで教えています マノアにサロンが割になって マノアの音楽教室のマノアミュージックツールのところなんですけれども ありますすごく大きい音楽学校なんですが なるほどそこでハープが習えます それは知恵先生から習えます あとはコンサートとか コンサートも不定期ですけれども やってまして あとはイモンコンサートとかもやっていますが あとですね 知恵先生はオンラインで読めるそうなんですが ハワイのローカルの新聞で 日経さんというのは 日乾さん にもハープのお話が 心と体と脳を育む ハープのお話ということで 全然続でお話を書いています もう少し細かくね いろんなことが書かれて バイオンとかということも書かれていますので 興味のある方は オンラインで検索できるんですね 読んでいただくといいかと思います あとは 習うとこまでいかないけど もっとハープのことを知りたいな という方はどうしたらいいんでしょうか ハープのことを知りたいと おっしゃいます それはさっきの 読んでいただくといいかもしれません あと他に 使われる方としては 体強で使われたい という方もいらっしゃいますね イラックス効果があるので という方もいらっしゃいます ストレスをしてなっている方は ハープに ちょっと試してみたい ということでもいいかもしれません それでは そろそろ時間がきたようなので 今日は 日経さん ありがとうございました We are out of time.
