昭和末期生まれでYMO世代じゃないんですが、子供の頃、母がテクニトーンの講師をしており、テクニトーンでこの曲の練習をしていた記憶があります。でも随分昔の、私が4歳、5歳の頃でしょうか…
ピアノ講師の母でも教授の曲はとにかく難しいと嘆いて、途中で練習やめちゃったんですけど😅

This sure brings back those memories from Okinawa where I was cutting tuna in 95.

NHKの再放送を見て、これをピアノのでやっているのを見て、聴いてみようと思ったら…凄い。
バンドだからピアノでやると編曲大変だけど楽しかったって言葉が印象的でした。
原曲とピアノソロを聴くと、どちらとも受ける衝撃が変わってくるというか

An American friend asked me to listen to this song, I was not disappointed. ^^

OK, so in my childhood, my parents bought some coverless 45s at Value Village in Detroit, and this record was in there (also had Burn Rubber from Hot Chocolate and 101 Strings Prince Igor in there - just good stuff). We listened to this starting around 1983 or so. This shit is still so awesome! I'm a songwriter now, making new old-school sounding soul compositions, and I got them recorded with an orchestra. The virus hit, so it'll be a while before it drops, but it's because of foundational stuff like this (and honestly, later anime with amazing soundtracks like Escaflowne and Nausicaa and great video games like Sonic) tucked in the back of my head ruminating for decades that I can make great music. MAN this takes me back!!!!
