Title: The Melon Kinenbi Thread (メロン記念日)
Post by: daigong on March 09, 2005, 07:53:01 PM
Melon Kinen-bi is AWESOME

The most consistent group in H!P - not one graduation or member exit since their debut in 2000. They have some the most interesting characters. Led by Captain Charisma herself Hitomi "The Boss" Saito - they can't be stopped. "The Professor" Megumi Murata lends us her wit. Masae Ohtani changes her hair color more than Dennis Rodman - and she could probably kick your ass. And of course Ayumi Shibata - the cutie pie. Each one in themselves is a leader in the locker room - the veterans of H!P asserting their influence on future generations.

...from the backstage of Nacchi's Comeback Tour.

In terms of group hotness, Melon is only topped by Viyuden (how I wish Viyuden would top MKB...).  They're also the only group to actively pursue sexiness in their PVs and dances, instead of hiding it behind cuteness or outfits.  I cite the Nikutai pelvic thrusts as evidence.

Anyone who hasn't seen the Taiyou no Kajitsu is missing out on some serious  :jerk: material.

As for music, The Nimaime is nice.  I like the title track.

I think Saito should stay true to herself and cause a stir in the company. The girl would mosh if she could. Her and her taiko drum fists.

I never really noticed her either before her glssses.  She kind of just faded into the background(as much as that's possible with only four members in a group).  But now she is definitely hot.  Not hot in a "Saitou is hot" kind of way, because that's just crazy talk,  but hot nonetheless.

Post by: souma on May 14, 2005, 02:22:13 PM
my friends and i discussed the real-ness of megumi's glasses for like, 4 days straight, and eventually found some pictures where her face was being refracted through them, so yeah, they're real, but probably a real real low prescription
Title: Melon Kinenbi aka MKB is AWESOME
Post by: Philosoranter on May 15, 2005, 12:39:33 AM
She probably used to wear contacts; a bunch of Morning Musume members do.  I bet she started wearing them when she saw that they helped her stand out.  Not to mention it's one more thing to accessorize with.
Title: Melon Kinenbi aka MKB is AWESOME
Post by: Tyler_Wood_2005 on May 15, 2005, 01:49:36 AM
Not to mention they makes her look super fucking SEXY!! :w00t:

Watched a bunch of older Utabans, ones where she never wore her glasses. And I barely noticed her, watched a few older H!Ms, more recent Utabans and noticed her alot more. Glasses go so good on her that I hope she never takes them off.

The fact she even wears them on stage when she sings is also pretty cool  :oops:

Well, there are 3 concert DVDs actually.  They're all really good concerts though.  The first one is high energy greatness since it's their first tour.  The second has a really nice feel to it since it's a Christmas live.  There are some really good performances.  My favorite, though, is the third one, Just for the simple reason that there is a TON of tour footage.  If you like watching the girls goof around during rehearsal, get this DVD.  Plus, you get to see the craziness of an idol group performing at Chicken George (a famous rock live venue).

Do you happen to have a amazon.co.jp link for that (there are several 'Chicken George' performances, and I do not have the Kanji for 'MKB' handy :)

Thanks, Vigo. :)
Looking at the setlists for the 1st and 3rd concert DVDs, I'm torn between these two. The tour footage sounds awesome but, if judging by the performances alone, which one would you suggest?


Here's an Amazon link for their 3rd concert DVD;

Title: Melon Kinenbi aka MKB is AWESOME
Post by: VigoVedict on June 16, 2005, 12:06:38 AM
Well, the actual concert is about an hour and forty minutes on both the first and third dvd even though there are 60 extra some odd minutes of footage on the third DVD.  It's been a while since I've seen the first concert (my friend owns that one, I own the other two) so I don't remember how the performances were all that well.  I think a lot of them got tired towards the end, so there may have been more running around which I think made a couple of parts not so good vocally (but still great to watch).

The third DVD has no such problem and Melon sounds wonderfully for the whole thing.  The solo and duet songs are fantastic.  There's not a whole lot of bells and whistles during a Melon concert and what's listed on the DVD is what you get.  

The MCs for the first and second DVD are pretty weird and they both have those weird movies where it becomes evident that Melon can't act.  The third DVD's MCs are a little more normal with a (boring but short) poem for the first one (in both english and japanese), the second is Murata and Shibata doing stupid things to the olympics.

There are a couple songs that are sorely missed on the third DVD, such as Amai Anata no Aji, Skip, and ANNIVERSARY but I feel that the selection of Melon songs and the two covers are more than sufficient to make it a buyable DVD.  

So...I guess I recommend the third one.  It's a close call really, but the individual songs were a great way to showcase vocal talent and all the performances were stellar.

It's kind of funny how crowd surfing seems to crop up at a Melon concert.  Not much, but it's there.

[And as a note, the concert DVD wasn't filmed at Chicken George (it's too crowded to shoot a proper idol concert) but Zepp Tokyo.  You see some of the live house in the Natsu tour medley  and you see it during the extras.]

I hope it isn't a major faux pas to post this on a board that has its own subtitling group, but I fell so in love with Melon Kinenbi's segment in the first few months of Hello! Morning that I decided to take it upon myself to translate it for the benefit of those playing along at home without a working knowledge of Japanese.

I've got a fairly 1.0 version of the first six episodes. Which is to say it compiles and runs longer than five minutes, to use a metaphor. The perfectionist in me hesitates to expose the public to it, because I must admit to making up a few lines that I couldn't make out. I made up the ballet terminology, too, so if anyone knows better, please tell me. Oh, and imagine there are accents on passé and plié; the subtitle format doesn't like unicode.

Being that this is my first time subtitling anything I'd appreciate feedback (particularly on the dodgily translated bits). But enough about me.

Ballerina Squad Melon is something of a spiritual predecessor of Cyborg Shibata (says I). It's a campy superhero show, think 60s Batman meets Sailor Moon. Four girls are entrusted with the mission to learn ballet and defend the Earth against alien invaders bent on its destruction.

The only way I got the subtitles to look right was by playing the files in Windows Media Player set to 50% video size. If I can pound my translation into shape, I think I'll figure out how to hardcode them into video at some point.

Still imperfectly translated, but episodes 7-12 are at what I'll call 1.0. After foiling another pernicious plan through no conscious effort of their own, the Ballerina Squad participate in a game show for no reason at all. The host turns out to be none other than their wily foe (at the end of the second episode of this) and they defeat him again.

I'll probably get the remaining five episodes done tomorrow, so check back. Same Melon-channel.

Hm, there is a plot for these episodes?? :)

The final installment begins with the dark lord approaching our heroes in a cunning disguise. However, a messenger from the heavens appears and reveals the plot, then proceeds to give the Ballerina Squad special training, which consists of making them try to do a pirouette. Then, for no reason at all, the last three episodes are made up of a bowling match against the forces of evil, id est Coconuts Musume. And then the show just ends.

I wouldn't be surprised if one of the up-coming FC DVDs had a cheap ass PV for that new MKB single. Even a cheap PV would be better than nothing. It can't cost that much to produce a PV like EROS cause they aren't even wearing any clothes :P

After Konkon's concert did you hear the guy announcing a MKB concert?  I think  I heard that, and next door to the stadium will be the CM concert at Shibuya AX.

Ah, I didn't go to the graduation concert so I have no idea. The schedule paper everyone got doesn't say anything about a MKB concert in the near future.

It can still be true, though. :O

That's from their DVD Magazine Vol. 5! :D

And my favorite MKB single is.... I want to say Eros b/c I LOVE the song (it's fun to sing), and the c/w is love! Buuut! I also really like the Chance of Love single :doh:

I love all the Melon Kinenbi's songs but if I have to choose I will say Midara Matendou because It's in the PV of this one that I fall in love with Masae ...

First I didn't like Eros but when I saw the concert performance of this song I realize how powerful is this song !!

My dream is to go to a melon kinenbi's concert but I have no money (sad) So I watch their DVD all the time on a big TVscreen :p

Personally I love the Chance of Love PV and I think it's a work of art, but the song by itself is rather weak I think...

Best song is Champagne no Koi or This is Unmei! They are both EXCELLENT songs~

I'm getting the concert now.  When the dl finishes in 15 min I can up the whole thing although it'll take around 2 hours because of my sucky upload speed.  I just had a listen to part of it and it's good quality.

I can't wait to see photos of Saitou's outfit for 'Like A Virgin'.  Reports are it was a VERY risque performance.

Yeah! Al on MM-BBS went to it and said this in his review...

Ho-lee SHIT! By far the sluttiest, skankiest thing HP has EVER done! :heart: Kumi Koda could get some tips from her. She performed in black panties, a corset, and pink garter belts while giving a chair a lap dance and showing the world just how many positions she could get her legs in, while also managing to strip off the garters.

:lol:

Just hear the english covers !

Sorry to say that but Ayumi sound really bad on "complicated" ! It's not good :(
Megumi choose a good song that fits her voice. It's cute !
Hitomi sound good too and the audience seems really exciting ....
Masae did a great vocal performance even if I don't like this song !
Here is my point of view ... Now I'm waiting for yours !

holy crap. I wasn't gonna dl the rip, but I'm gonna have to hear the covers. :lol:

It's kinda funny that I sang karaoke with some cousins last night, and we sang that avril and celine dion song XD. Like a virgin was a choice but nobody wanted to sing it. ironically the only song that I actually like from the ones being covered, "love fool", was the only song we didn't have :/ . But someone did sing the song "Ironic" XD.

The title to their best of album is the same title as their tour, FRUITY KILLER TUNE! Hopefully they'll be getting a new song with this title as well because it freaking ROCKS!

On a related note~ their most recent tour just recently ended within the last few weeks, I think. No word of a DVD yet, and I'm totally hoping for one! Their new tour kicks off in December :( Far too long a wait to hear from MKB! Hopefully something of them will show up! Like... more HPH with one or more members :o

I just checked out some of their PV's on youtube... and I have to say the one for Nikutai wa Sunaona EROS is HOT :heart: Ayumi Shibata is too cute too!

Post by: wakaba_doll on October 18, 2006, 05:06:11 PM
^ Me too, Mayo! (on both parts, except I have a girlfriend^^) I actually hadn't looked into MKB before because I thought they were another of the younger, more cutesy H!P groups like C-ute or something XD LOL But I'm really glad I actually gave them a chance because they've got some cool songs!

I think I'm going to get their best album when it comes out so I can just have all their singles in one instead of searching for all of them separately :heart:

So... Onegai no Miwaku no Target live from the Pucchi Best totally beat a PV of it! The song was kinda like an OPV from the backstage clips of their two summer concerts, and I personally found it BEYOND awesome. I made me crave to see these two tours, though. Especailly after seeing a few clips from their English solos~ But imo, this has to be the best video on the whole DVD! MKB always is just beyond awesome in their performances~

I guess the information didn't travel very far among Melon fans, but I translated Ballerina Sentai Melon (one of the best things ever) back in April or so. Looking at it now, the timing job is incredibly half-arsed in places. The damage is too extensive to fix easily, so I only made a few changes (most importantly, DVobSub supports Unicode now, so I sacrificed multi-platform compatibility in favour of making it look prettier). So, yeah, be warned.

Episodes 1-7
http://www.mediafire.com/?9m2zmhy3v2n
8-14
http://www.mediafire.com/?bzzw3khdzqm
15-17 are the bowling contest, on which I did duplicate work because I didn't know Mat Swadling had subbed them already. My excuse for upping my version is that I don't even have his.

Don't get me wrong, this is actually my favorite concert tour out of all the ones they had so far...

But...

I'm still disappointed at the lack of the engrish performances ;___; ...Sure, there's the copyright issues, but... I was looking SO forward to them singing in english! Megumi singing Love's fool... Masae singing My Heart Will Go On... Boss singing Like a Virgin... Ayumi singing Complicated... All not in the DVD... ;_____________________________________________;

Excuse me while I tear my hair out in anguish.

I agree they are great.
 I would not be fan of MK if it had not been for going to an elders club concert earlier this year. Mk blew me away I thought they were fanstatic. Mk had such energy and desire to preform.
 I have got Fruity Killer tunes which is a great album.I cant decide on my favourite song.
My favourite member is Mase because she has a great voice

Post by: Slack on August 16, 2007, 07:37:30 PM
This blog post (http://"http://www.cultofpop.com/wingsofmyheart/?p=77") about getting into MKB had me thinking about what defines how I feel about the group.  Here are the results:

Quote from: Myself
About Shibata getting the biggest push in the group, I’d say that’s because of several reasons:

1. Since H!P songs in general are more youth-oriented, and since Shibata has the youngest sounding voice in the group, she sings the most on the singles. Her voice has a smooth, bright quality that goes well with the melodies that Tsunku gives them.

2. Though the group is extremely well balanced in terms of differing and complementary personalities and strengths, Shibata is and always will be “The cute one”. Hello! Project still is about “idols” after all.

3. Even with the other two reasons above Shibata is one of the two top voices in the group. Ootani Masae is the other one, and gets the bulk of the remaining solo lines.

Now, about Melon Kinenbi in general.

I think what makes Melon Kinenbi’s stuff different from other H!P offerings is the tendency for the video to distract you from how good the song is by itself. Their songs and their live performances tend to be much more exciting than what the PVs would have you think. Much of what makes me love Melon songs can only be heard if you’re paying close attention to the instrumentals and harmonies. The comment that you can only hear one girl singing at a time makes me think that you haven’t been doing that. I’d suggest just listening with a good pair of headphones, rather than just viewing a PV.

Admittedly, Akai Freesia isn’t the most exciting sounding single, but it still is very complex in the instrumentation. That seems to be a hallmark of the Melon Kinenbi sound and the Tsunku sound in general: simple lyrical melodies with catchy rhythms and intricate backing tracks. Because of these traits, I’d say my favorite Melon Kinbi songs are “Kousui” and “Champagne no Koi”. My prevously pop-phobic roommate absolutely loves these songs as well and frequently puts them on repeat.

I would definitely start with one of those songs, and maybe check out some of their concert tours with Matsuura or Goto as well. I’m convinced that the 2007 H!P On Stage concert, “Rock desu yo!” is one of the better H!P concerts in terms of performance and energy level. It’s not as flashy as some of the bigger concerts, but it’s awesome nonetheless.

I’d say the overall appeal of Melon Kinenbi isn’t in their videos, but the tracks themselves. They get consistently good songs that make for great listening, in the car for example. They are probably the strongest group vocally and their live performances are also among the most consistently good in H!P.

One thing you’ll notice is the overall balance that Melon Kinenbi has, in singing, dancing, and personality. That’s why the group works so well and that’s why they have never changed their line-up in seven years.

“Balance”, “consistent quality”, and “musical complexity” are the three things that make me love Melon Kinenbi. I’m sure that if you look for these too, you’ll see why their fans are among the most devoted in H!P.

Post by: Amarghetta on August 21, 2007, 10:29:43 PM
You know Slack, I agree with most of what you said. I say most because I've never listened to anyof her songs, besides Akai Freesia, that's it...  :oops:

But I've seen them in action with Matsuura on her Captain Kouen concert, and with Abe on the H!P On Stage 2006; and I remember thinking they were remarkably good. Therefore, I agree with you on your comments about their vocal strength and their consistence.

And also, now that you've properly worded it, I realize their appeal truly doesn't rely on their PV's; which is not the case for the rest of the H!P groups.  :)

This appeared recently, and I haven't been able to access the site anymore.
I'm hoping the site hasn't put a ban on non-japanese ip's, that would really suck, since I don't know of any other uploaders specifically for MKB.

I think it says that they're switching to a strict IP-filtering scheme to defeat bulletin board hotlinking.  Something about mailing to the creator to get your Japanese-only IP registered.

So, probably not just non-Japanese IPs, but all non-registered IPs period.  Yikes.

Some loaders block you if you bookmark the loader page (it must check for a referrer), but the page works if you find the main page that links to the loader and get to it that way.

I didn't watch the video, but I saw that someone posted the AX Music Plus 09-06-07 interview of Melon Kinenbi up at JPM. Did Melon talk about their thoughts of the PV? what'd did they say?

So I was watching Hello Pro Hour with Melon Kinenbi, and my favorite part had to be when they are watching the videos from when they first started, and the part where Megumi is talking, and then they're all embaressed. Thought it was hilarious cuz Boss is waving her hands in front of her face as it were her.anways, screencapped it.

Well, it was on the H!O tracker, but its no doubt already dead.
I could upload it, but the file size is 30megs under a gig, so I would have to split it into parts.
I'd probably use HJSplit to split it into sizes I can upload, then all you'd have to do is use HJSplit to merge the parts back together.

I'll go ahead and do this tomorrow, since it'll still take time to upload each part, depending on the sizes I make the parts and what upload site I might use.
Google HJSplit and have it on hand ready to use, it'll be in a rar, its not something you have to install.
Check back on this thread, I should have it all upped and posted here later in the day, my time.

I'll have to do the same thing with vol. 8, just be sure that you have HJSplit, since you'll need it to put all the parts together.
If I don't get to vol. 8 tonite, then I'll get it done tomorrow.

As for having all of MKB's dvd mag's, I don't unfortunately, I'm missing the first 3, which sucks, because I sooooooo want them.

Its called: Melon Kinenbi Nippon Seinen kan Kouen '2005 Revue & Concert 'Murata san, Gokii'

It came out on dvd in 2005, but was only a FC release, and was recorded on MKB's 5th anniversary of their debut, Feb. 19th, 2005.
I never knew about this one, and therefore have no idea if it ever appeared on any tracker.
Wish I had known 2 years ago, I would've tried to find it somehow, someway.

From you're other posts you already have vol. 8, and the other ones I have are vols 4, 5, 6.
Those 3 I'll have to rip and encode, since they were iso's I had dled and burned to disc.
It'll take me time, from encoding and uploading, and gotta decide on what size to make each encode.
Not a problem, though, I'll help ya out with this. :D

Ok, ecaparac, about those dvd mags, I won't be able to encode them.
My hard drive won't be able to handle encoding, and its the only hard drive I have, so I need to be careful with it.
I might decide to torrent them as iso's, but I'll post here when I get to doing it.

Here's something I came across while looking thru the wiki.

(http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e79/sonic_ram/MKB/th_MelonKinenbiNipponSeinenkanKouen200.jpg) (http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e79/sonic_ram/MKB/MelonKinenbiNipponSeinenkanKouen200.jpg)

Its called: Melon Kinenbi Nippon Seinen kan Kouen '2005 Revue & Concert 'Murata san, Gokii'

http://wiki.theppn.org/Melon_Kinenbi_Nippon_Seinen_kan_Kouen_%272005_Revue_%26_Concert_%27Murata_san%2C_Gokii%27 (http://wiki.theppn.org/Melon_Kinenbi_Nippon_Seinen_kan_Kouen_%272005_Revue_%26_Concert_%27Murata_san%2C_Gokii%27)


It came out on dvd in 2005, but was only a FC release, and was recorded on MKB's 5th anniversary of their debut, Feb. 19th, 2005.
I never knew about this one, and therefore have no idea if it ever appeared on any tracker.
Wish I had known 2 years ago, I would've tried to find it somehow, someway.

Ah well, nothing I can about it now. :(
Check this out.
I was browsing thru the H!O forums, looking thru the MKB thread they have there, and saw a post by Himalia with a posted pic of this very dvd.
He said that after he opens it, that he will share it. :w00t:
That means keeping an eye on the tracker for when it does pop up there. :D

I had intended to make a torrent of MKB's vol. 5 dvd magazine, but that's gonna haveta wait now, since I'm downloading the iso of GAM's fc Hawaii tour, and won't think about torrenting another iso until I've seeded my usual 1:1 with this GAM iso.

Here's a lil something for my fellow MKB fans.

ENDLESS YOUTH (Christmas Version)_Live (http://www.mediafire.com/?2y5ur0jgdda)

From MKB's '03 Christmas Concert.
It's my favorite version of this song, nothing really much different from the album version, it's just extended to a lil over 6 minutes, but after listening to it, you'll notice the addition quickly.

One of my fave parts in the new dvd mag.

There's another part where I wonder what was said.
The tarot reader was telling Muracchi something about a card she had selected, and the other 3 downstairs all went "EEEHHHH!!!!" when they heard what was said.

I'm soooo curious as to what the tarot reader was telling Muracchi.

Oops, sorry, that was me saying that. :-)

The lady was saying that there's a possibility of Muracchi getting married next year, 2008!  :shock:

Any comments on that, guys?
Title: Re: The Melon Kinenbi Thread
Post by: RatBastich on December 28, 2007, 05:55:50 PM
Fortune tellers, tarot readers should never be, and can never be taken at face value, so personally I wouldn't put much stock into what was said.

Unless I actually see concrete proof, I can just easily dismiss this.

Thanks for the translation on that, ecaparac. :)
Title: Re: The Melon Kinenbi Thread
Post by: ecaparac on December 28, 2007, 06:09:00 PM
Hmm.. I myself don't subscribe to such fortune telling beliefs but I heard that a few different fortune tellers have predicted that Muracchi will definitely get married and on top of that, the first one in Melon to get married. Coincidence? But of course this could all be staged..  :lol:

Just to create some buzz for fans to talk about I guess.. :whistle:

I think MKB is having an event at some "Fukuoka Auto Salon 2008" thing.
And they'd be selling these windshield wipers  XD
"Melon Kinenbi Original Premium Shield"  :lol:

At first I thought you were joking about the windshield wipers, but the name in the corner is for a windshield wiper company.

One thing though, are you sure it isn't "Melon Kinenbi Original Premium Seal", as in sticker/decal?  The green thing above their heads appears to be the outline of a wiper that shows where the decal would be.

Come to think of it, yeah seal would seem more appropriate. Seal, it is then  :lol:

wow 8 years with the same lineup, that is almost amazing for ANY type of music group. Melon has been one of the brightest stars in my HP universe. (I know its kinda cheezy, but I don't know how else to say it!! :) ) When I was in japan I paid a pretty penny to get used cds of theirs, but every cent was worth it. They truly are great, but I wish they would get some more publicity. I guess they are 'the older set' and that is not whats hot, but they serve as a great complimentary group for tours and such. I just hope their next pv has a few more dollars then the last...it was pretty sad :(

 Hitomi - Like A Virgin (Madonna cover)
 Masae - My Heart Will Go On (Celine Dion cover)

Well, since it'll be quite some time before you'll get access to the asshole, I'll post the links for MKB's english covers for ya. ;)

Shibata Ayumi - Complicated_Live (http://www.mediafire.com/?bcnzjz5x9m0)

Saito Hitomi - Like A Virgin_Live (http://www.mediafire.com/?edmczkxghyi)

Murata Megumi - Love Fool_Live (http://www.mediafire.com/?dyxjsijizms)

Otani Masae - My Heart Wil Go On_Live (http://www.mediafire.com/?faqyyxyddld)

All upped to mediafire.

And one extra, Muracchi's solo uta doki.

Murata Megumi - Kogarashi ni Dakarete (http://www.mediafire.com/?0g2sntbj0d0)


I'm pretty sure I have those flets vids your asking about, gotta look for them, though.
Well, Melon_Masae, unfortunately there's no video for those performance's due to copyright laws and whatnot.
But, here's the audio for each one of those covers by MKB.
I had posted them some time ago, they were a number of pages back already.
If you go back page by page, you'll find some of the other stuff that I've posted. :D

As for what my fave MKB song is...... ?
Not sure there, since I love every song by MKB. :love: :D

Hmm, that was interesting.

It does seem be a rehearsal for a play, which just means those of us outside of Japan will never get to see it, unless it were to come out on dvd, which never really seems to happen anyway.
Title: Re: The Melon Kinenbi Thread
Post by: dee_fleury305 on April 29, 2008, 02:46:50 AM
At H!O, someone said that the play is a dramatic one- where the girls play four sisters whose mother died when they were young, and who have to come together after their father dies on a safari in Africa.   Interesting!

@ Melon_Masae, I  :heart: Masae too! She's my ultimate favorite Melon, followed probably by Megumi. Also, I think まぁしぃ (maashii) is Masae   :yep:

So I'm seriously going "wtf", then I read the rest of the post.


Now, from what I can figure out, here's what it says:

-2008 Live house Tour (9/6, 9/7, 9/21)
-Melon Greeting 6 (10/8)
-Shibata Ayumi stage appearances (12/4-12/7, also appearing: Yasuda Kei)

...and from what I can figure out, some stage play starring Miyoshi Erika with rotating appearances by MKB, Yasuda Kei, Okada Yui, Maeda Yuki (11/26-11/30)

Title: Re: The Melon Kinenbi Thread (メロン記念日)
Post by: Slack on October 29, 2008, 04:18:59 AM
I'd recommend:
2006 Winter - Fruity Killer Tune (http://wiki.theppn.org/Melon_Kinenbi_Concert_Tour_2006_Fuyu_'Fruity_Killer_Tune').  Since it's for their best-of album, it's low risk and you get all the big hits.

But if you don't mind that Goto Maki is in this one,
Hello Pro On Stage 2007 - Reck desu yo! (http://wiki.theppn.org/Hello☆Pro_On_Stage!_2007_'Rock_desu_yo!') is my personal favorite.  In this one, the live band just really adds an extra level of energy to an already energetic 7th anniversary concert.

It's really hard to just choose one concert !!!
I can recommend you Melon Kinenbi Live Tour 2004 Natsu ~Gokujou Melon~, it's an old concert but the playlist is really good.
But for me the best MKB concert has been released in FC DVD and it's Melon Kinenbi Live House Tour 2006 ~Shakunetsu Tengoku~ so good   :wub:
But don't worry A1 no matter what MKB concert you buy you won't be disapointed  !

Tell us which one you choose  ;)

So I purchased my first MKB concert last week. I went with emifebruary's suggestion and bought "Gokujou Melon". I really enjoyed the concert a lot. The energy from the audience and the girls themselves was amazing. Thank you for those who helped me out, I'm going to go check out "Fruity Killer Tune" next. Has anybody seen the cover for "Melon Best" yet? I thought that was the lamest, unoriginal cover I have ever seen. Look like somebody took mspaint and did the cover real quick.

The start with this is unmei is so exciting  ;)
All MKB concert are unique cause even if the setlist looks the same the energy, the audience and the girls looks different.

My Melon Kinenbi story: I too stumbled upon them, never discovered them until probably Kosui. They were always in the midst of the H!P videos, like that 2000 in Hawaii episode, H!M Skits, etc. The KOSUI dropped and I was like damn who is this cutie in the car singing with these R&Bish type girls. Then I learned they were a "mature" group to Morning Musume's wildness. Track after track was GOLD. This is Unmei! Saa! Koibito ni Narou! Denwa Matteimasu! Fell in love with each member, esp. Shibata. How close they were to Rika. Like in this video  :wub:

My Melon Kinenbi story: I really don't have much of a story on the Melons (as I like to call them). They did catch my attention early on for being H!P's "anti-Momusu", in that they followed the conventional route of being a small group that stayed together for all these years without altering their lineup...that and Masae's hair. :P Other than that, I never really got into their music or been able to catch their TV appearances, though a couple of their songs are among my favorite H!P stuff, and the few instances I've seen of Saito getting the spotlight on Utaban have been hilarious.
Favourite Melon Kinenbi member: A toss up between the Boss and Ayumi.
Favourite Melon Kinenbi song: Kousui
Favourite Melon Kinenbi PV: It's too easy to say Eros, so instead here's a bunch of black guys... :lol:

10年分の感謝と10年分の万感の思いを込めた『MELON'S NOT DEAD』
ここから、また新たなステージが始まる──

(http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/7399/03ap5.jpg)

 メロン記念日が今月19日、晴れてデビュー10周年を迎える。昨年は様々なバンドとコラボレーションを果たし、グループとしてもこれまで以上に飛躍した1年だったように思う。一時は「次がない」と宣告されたこともあった彼女たちだが、「そのおかげで10年続ける根性が養われた気がする」と村田めぐみも語っているように、ハロー!プロジェクトの中では異色の存在でありながらも独自のスタンスを築き上げてきた稀有なるグループだと言えるだろう。
 1999年8月、オーディションで運命的に出会ったこの4人が、それから10年もの間メンバーが入れ替わることもなく、喜びや感動、挫折を共に味わった結果、より固い絆と結束力を共有して今に至る。その10年という節目にリリースされる“ロック化計画”の集大成的作品『MELON'S NOT DEAD』には、これまでの、そしてこれからのメロン記念日がギュッと凝縮されているのだ。
 10周年を迎える彼女たちは今、何を思い、何処へ向かおうとしているのだろうか──。(interview:椎名宗之/text:やまだともこ)

メロン記念日4人だけの10周年じゃない

──デビュー10周年を迎える今の率直な気持ちから聞かせて下さい。

柴田あゆみ(ナチュラル担当):振り返ってみると10周年というのは大きな節目だと思いますけど、長かったという感じはしないんです。最初の頃は何もかもが初めてのことだらけで月日が過ぎるのが早かったんですが、15歳から25歳という多感な時期をメロン記念日として過ごせてことを誇りに思いますし、改めて10年って凄いなと思います。

斉藤 瞳(セクシー担当):まさか10年という記念日を迎えられる日が来るなんて…って、途中で思ってしまう時期があったので、その数字を変わらないメンバーでお祝いできることに感謝です。10年と言っても、うまくいかない時期もあって、その時期を含めるとよく10年生かしてもらえたなという気持ちもありますね。“ロック化計画”に対しては、10周年に向けての大きな道筋を作って頂いたとも思いますし、10年の間にいろんな人たちが私たちを支えて下さったわけで、決して自分たちだけの10年じゃないですよね。いろんな人たちの思いが詰まった10年という意味で言えば、メロンの10周年と言うよりはみんなの10周年になるんじゃないかなと思います。

村田めぐみ(メルヘン担当):私はもうすぐ29歳になりますけど、20歳になってからほぼメロン記念日でやってきて、人生の中でも20代って大事な時期で、良い仲間に出会えたなって思います。同級生は素敵な男性に運命的に出会ってますけど、私は運命的にこのメンバーと巡り会っているんだなって。

斉藤:うん、ホントにそうだよね。

村田:これだけ長い時間を掛けて何かに打ち込んだこともなかったし、私の人生の中でも大きな収穫ですね。

大谷雅恵(ボーイッシュ担当):10年は数字にすると長いですけど、あゆみんが言ったように10年は思ったよりも長くなかったです。いろいろあったからだと思いますけど、去年なんてホント早かったし、凄く贅沢な1年だったりしたので。良いも悪いも全部ひっくるめて自慢の10年ですね。

──メロン記念日にある種のターニング・ポイントがあったとすれば、やはり『This is 運命』という楽曲に巡り会えたことなんでしょうか。

村田:崖っぷちからの生還と言うか、あそこでお尻を叩かれて良かったですよ。そこで10年続ける根性が養われた気がします。

──ロックっぽい最初の楽曲でもありましたしね。この10年の中で、とりわけ印象深い出来事はどんなことですか。

斉藤:いくつか挙げていく中でのひとつは『This is 運命』です。『電話待っています』をリリースした後に「もう先はないぞ」と事務所の人に宣告されて、次がダメだったら強制終了じゃないですけど…。

村田:完全に閉店でした(笑)。

斉藤:そういう状況で、次に出す作品が『This is 運命』だったんですけど、一風変わった曲だったので“これで大丈夫かな?”って一瞬思いましたよ(笑)。これで私たちの今後が決まるのに、大丈夫かな? って。

──他の皆さんは如何ですか。僕は2002年12月に赤坂ブリッツで行なわれた初の単独ライヴ“これが記念日”で、初めてフロアでモッシュが巻き起こった瞬間が個人的には凄く思い出深いのですが。

村田:確かに、あれは大きかったですね。

柴田:雪も降りましたし。

村田:雪が降って、私は始まる直前に室内で転びましたし(笑)。腕を強打したんですけど、「骨が折れてても絶対にステージに立つ!」ってその時のインタビューでも答えていた記憶があります。

──まさにパンク・アティテュードそのものですね(笑)。柴田さんは?

柴田:たくさんあるんですけど、テレビに出させてもらった時は影響力が凄いなって思いました。『ミュージックステーション』に初めて出させてもらったのはシャッフル・ユニットだったんですけど、その後に『さぁ!恋人になろう』でメロン記念日として出演させてもらったんです。その時に「ここで頑張ってた」みたいに名前を入れた映像まで作って頂いて、凄いなって思いましたね。

──柴田さんは、3期目のタンポポでも活躍されていましたね。

柴田:タンポポの時は、事務所の方から「メロン記念日を代表して参加するんだぞ、メロンのためにも頑張れよ」と送り出してくれたのが心の支えにもなり、あの頃はタンポポで頑張れば頑張ったぶんだけメロンに返ってくると信じてやっていましたね。タイミング良くメロンもいろんな番組に出させて頂いて、そういう意味ではタンポポに参加できて良かったです。感謝ですよ。

大谷:私は、ハロー!にいたメロン記念日…10年の中でそっちのほうが大きいですけど、メロンは好きなことをやりながら10年を迎えていて、そのスタイルが私たちには合っていたと思います。それぞれが思う自分の出し方ができるようになってきたことで、がっちりイメージを付けられるよりは、自分たちでイメージを付けられたことが長生きする秘訣なんじゃないかなと思いました。

──メロン記念日がここまで自由度の高い活動をしてこれたのは何故だと思いますか。

斉藤:『電話待っています』までは“こういうふうに行きたい、こういう曲を唄わせたい”っていう事務所の意向もありましたし、4人一緒の服を着てたし、“モーニング娘。はこういう楽曲だからメロンはこういう曲にしよう”って、自分たちの思いとは違う部分もあったんですよ。それが『電話待っています』をリリースした後に“それぞれの得意分野は何だ?”という話になって、そこでセクシー(斉藤)、ボーイッシュ(大谷)、ナチュラル(柴田)、メルヘン(村田)という担当を決めたんです。同じグループがバラバラの衣装を着るのもちょっと異例だったんですけど、「好きな服を着て下さい」って一任されたんですよ。それが自由度が高くなる最初の一歩だったような気がします。

──今月の21日になんばHatchでこの10年間の軌跡を昼の部(2000~2004)と夜の部(2005~2010)に分けて見せるライヴがありますけど、活動の分岐点となったのは“ロック化計画”の種が蒔かれ始めた2006年だったように思えるんです。ライヴハウス・ツアーの“灼熱天国”があったり、“MELON LOUNGE”が始まってビート・クルセイダースと出会ったのも2006年でしたから。

斉藤:“~LOUNGE”をやるにあたってもいろいろと試行錯誤しましたからね。ハロー!プロジェクトにいる以上はアイドルだから、男性と一緒に仕事をする際にはどうしても1枚壁が必要なんじゃないか? とか、そういうところをやっと取り払えた瞬間でした。

柴田:スタッフさんも頑張って下さったし、私たちは周りの方に恵まれているんですよ。メロンのためだったらと動いてくれたり、メロンがやったら面白そうなことを一緒に考えてくれたり、いろんなきっかけを作って下さった気がします。男性の方と一緒にステージに立つということに対しても闘ってくれたし、凄く感謝していますね。

──チームメロン、やはり最高で最強ですね。

一同:はい。

──そして言うまでもなく、ヲタモダチと呼ばれる非常に求心力の高いファンの存在が何よりも大きいですよね。

村田:いろんなバンドさんとの対バンという形になっても、どこへ行ってもホームみたいにしてくれるところが凄いし、対バンの皆さんの音楽も貪欲に楽しんでくれているのが嬉しいです。

──あの姿勢は素晴らしいし、ロック・ファンも見習うべきですよ。今のロック・ファンは見たいバンドを見たらすぐに帰ってしまう傾向にありますからね。

大谷:ハロー!のイヴェントで慣れているのかもしれないですね。ハロー!もいろんなグループが出るから、対バンみたいなものじゃないですか。全部を通してイヴェントだという習慣が身についているのかもしれないですね。

   

10周年を迎えてさらに成長ができた喜び

──そして、この10年間のエッセンスが凝縮された感もあるオリジナル・アルバム『MELON'S NOT DEAD』が今月遂に発表されますが、仕上がりの手応えを聞かせて下さい。

柴田:とにかく満足してます。

村田:昔の自分たちからは想像もできないアルバムになりました。2006年以前は自分たちの中のロックを、メロンのファンを相手に提示してましたけど、2006年以降はいろいろなバンドさんと共演してたくさんのものを吸収できたので、10周年目にしてさらに成長ができたと思います。

斉藤:今回は自分たちの運命を変えた『This is 運命』の作詞・作曲を手掛けて下さった新堂敦士さんに再度『愛だ!今すぐROCK ON!』という曲を書いて頂きましたし、10年分の思いが強く込められたアルバムになりました。

──『愛だ!今すぐROCK ON!』は、タイトルからして新堂さんワールドが全開の曲ですよね。

斉藤:すべてが新堂さんでしたね。

柴田:ただ、凄くいい曲なんですけど、唄うのが大変なんですよ。

大谷:歌割りが細かくて…。

──最近のライヴではすでに披露されていて、それほど手こずっているようには思えませんけどね。

斉藤:熱心なファンの方でも誰がどこを唄ってるか、すぐには把握できないと思いますよ。何十回と聴き込んで、さらにライヴを何回も見ないと。椎名さんは判りました?

──僕はヲタモダチの熱心さの足元にも及びませんからねぇ…(笑)。

柴田:ソロの部分は判ると思いますけど、2人で唄うパートをじっくり聴いてみようと思っても、あれ? もう次のフレーズ行っちゃった…みたいな感じなんですよ。

村田:だから、唄ってる時もマイクの手の置き場所に迷うんです。すぐに自分のパートが来るからこの辺に置いて…って、文字にしたら“この辺”じゃ判らないですよね(笑)。とにかく、口の近くでスタンバイしていますね。

──『ロマンチックを突き抜けろ!~Break it now~』は去年の“凱旋”ツアーで初披露されて、唄い込まれた感じがよく出ていますね。

斉藤:ライヴ・ヴァージョンとはアレンジが変わっているんですよ。

村田:ライヴでのまとまりも結構いいですよ。セットリストでどこに置いてもいい曲ですしね。

柴田:この曲は、長い間奏の時にちょっと“NP”(泣きポイント)が来るんですよ。なんか泣けるんです。

──「私は今たしかにここにいる」というフレーズは特に“NP”ですよね。中山加奈子さんが作詞ですが、さすがだなと思いました。皆さん、プリンセス・プリンセスはお好きだったんですか?

斉藤:この曲をきっかけにプリプリを改めてちゃんと聴こうと思って、ライヴDVDを見たら感動して、ディナー・ショーでも唄わせてもらったんですよ。私は『19 GROWING UP』が特に好きで、歌詞がメロンにも近い部分を感じて共感しました。

──『ロマンチック~』はいわゆる草食男子に渇を入れるような曲ですが、そうした主題も共感できるところですか。

斉藤:ガールズ・トークはこういう感じになりがちですよね(笑)。

──レピッシュのMAGUMIさんが作詞を、杉本恭一さんが作曲を手掛けた『ALL AROUND ROCK』ですが、これまでも『遠慮はなしよ!』のようなスカ・パンク的要素のある楽曲があったし、割と唄いやすかったんじゃないかと思いましたが。

村田:唄っていて、凄く楽しかったですね。

柴田:最初にデモを聴いたイメージと、唄ったイメージと、自分たちの声が入って出来上がったイメージが全然違ったんですよ。最初は大丈夫かな? って思ったんですけど、曲調の変化が好きで、最近はエンドレスで聴いています。

──歌詞には古今東西のありとあらゆる“ロック”が詰め込まれていて、実にユニークですね。

柴田:ちょっと噛みそうになりますけどね(笑)。

──噛みには定評のある村田さんは大丈夫だったんですか?(笑)

村田:最初に唄った時は凄かったですね。歌詞を見ながらでも思いきり噛んでましたから(笑)。唄い終えて「すいませーん」って言うしかなくて…。

柴田:ディレクターのたいせいさんが「悪くないよー」って言ってましたけど、悪くないってことは良くもないのかな…って、そういう感じでした(笑)。

──如何にもレピッシュらしい持ち味の詰まった曲だと思いましたが、『ALL AROUND ROCK』のレコーディングのポイントは?

斉藤:たいせいさんからは「ツルッと唄うよりは、遊び心満載で唄ってくれ」と。あと、「オペラ歌手になった気分で唄ってくれ」とも言われてましたね。

   

『ALWAYS LOVE YOU』には愛が飛び交っている

──アルバムの大団円を飾る『ALWAYS LOVE YOU』は、まだライヴでは披露されていませんよね。

斉藤:この曲は、10周年ライヴまでライヴで唄うのは取っておいてあるんです。

──“ロック化計画”の第1弾として『DON'T SAY GOOD-BYE』をコラボレートしたビート・クルセイダースに再度書き下ろしてもらった楽曲でアルバムを締め括るのは、非常に感慨深いところもあるのでは?

斉藤:ビークルさんにはホントに良くして頂きましたよ。

村田:“~LOUNGE”から、また新たな扉が開いて…。

──しかもこの『ALWAYS LOVE YOU』、メロン記念日が発表してきた全楽曲の中でもエモーショナル度では1、2を争う屈指のナンバーですよね。

斉藤:“NP”も“MP”(萌えポイント)も全部入ってますからね。

村田:唄うと、何かが溢れますね。
(http://img684.imageshack.us/img684/8457/03ap3.jpg)(http://img525.imageshack.us/img525/3118/03ap4.jpg)

──ロフトでのライヴの時に村田さんがMCで仰っていましたけど、ハンカチではとても足りない、バスタオルくらいの涙が余裕で出ますね。最初にデモを聴いた時はどんな印象を持ちましたか。

大谷:候補が2曲あったんですよ。ロック・ナンバーのゾーンに入るものとこの曲があって、『ENDLESS YOUTH』っぽい曲が欲しいと思っていたので、こっちがいいなって。

──ああ、確かに『ENDLESS YOUTH』のロック・ヴァージョン的なニュアンスもありますね。曲調は違うけど、エモさという点では相通ずるものがあると思います。

大谷:『ENDLESS YOUTH』はいつでも唄えるし、純粋にいい曲なんですけど、今思うとちょっと若い感じはするんですよね。今の私たちが唄える『ENDLESS YOUTH』が欲しかったんです。

村田:ビークルさんにも唄ってもらって男性の声も入っているので、その部分をヲタモダチに覚えてもらってライヴで一緒に唄えたら最高です。

──ビート・クルセイダースがメロン記念日に捧げた『ALWAYS LOVE YOU』であり、メロン記念日がヲタモダチに捧げた『ALWAYS LOVE YOU』でもあり、ヲタモダチからメロン記念日に捧げた『ALWAYS LOVE YOU』でもあり…。

村田:愛が飛び交ってますね。

斉藤:『DON'T SAY GOOD-BYE』をコラボした時に、ヒダカさんが「メロン記念日のことをほっとけない」と仰ったんですが、まさにこの曲に思いの丈のすべてを込めて下さった感じがします。

──かなりタイトなスケジュールの中で楽曲提供からレコーディングまでを断行されたそうですね。

斉藤:綱渡りみたいでしたね。

村田:しかも、私が年末にちょっと喉を壊してしまいまして、ビークルさんの新年最初のお仕事をメロンのレコーディングにさせてしまったんです。そのぶん、一生懸命唄いたいなと。

──この曲の中で唄われている歌詞は、『MELON'S NOT DEAD』というアルバム・タイトルとリンクしてくる部分がありますよね。

斉藤:最後のサビは、まさに『MELON'S NOT DEAD』だと思います。

村田:音楽や思い出はいつまでも胸の中にあって消えないものですからね。人は亡くなったら大事なものは何ひとつ持って行けませんけど、思い出や好きな曲はずっと持っていられますから。

──………。すいません、あまりの正論に何もリアクションができませんでした(笑)。フガジっていうハードコア・パンク・バンドがいるんですけど、『ALWAYS LOVE YOU』は僕の中でフガジ超えをしたと言うか、それくらいの超弩級なエモーショナル・ナンバーだと思うんですよ。

一同:へぇ。

柴田:それ、太字で書いて下さい(笑)。

──ところで、アルバムに収録された純然たる新曲の4曲は、昨年の過密スケジュールの合間を縫ってレコーディングしたんですか。

大谷:ちょこちょこと。『ロマンチック~』はデモだけはあったんですけど、ライヴで唄い慣れていたので歌録りはスムーズだったんですよ。

──逆に『ALWAYS LOVE YOU』は万感の想いを込めて唄われているので、録るのは難しかったんじゃないですか。

斉藤:いろんな思いはありましたね。

村田:最後のリズムが遅くなっていくところは、マシータさんが指揮者のようにご指導して下さいマシータ。

──アルバム前半に収録された“ロック化計画”のコラボレーション5曲は、改めて聴いてもクオリティの高さを実感しますね。

斉藤:あと、1曲目の『メロン記念日のテーマ(Rock Ver.)』がやっとCD化になって嬉しいです。ニューロティカさんとの『ピンチはチャンスバカになろうぜ!』はアルバム・ヴァージョンですし。シングルのレコーディングの時にあっちゃんが「是非これをやりたい」って、カタルさんには内緒でブースに入って打ち合わせをしていたんですよね。でも、「これはアルバム用ってことで」とスタッフさんにキッパリ言われてましたけど(笑)。

──“ピンバカ”のアルバム・ヴァージョン、カタルさんが聴いたら怒号を上げそうですが(笑)。皆さんもあっちゃんの小芝居によくお付き合いしましたね(笑)。

斉藤:いやいや(笑)。

村田:合格の烙印も何とか押されたし、テンションが上がりますよ。

──改めてお伺いしたいんですが、コラボレート・シングルの5曲を経て、歌い手として心境の変化はありましたか。

斉藤:心境の変化と言うよりも、10年やってきて一番濃い仕事内容でした。レコーディング自体、4人がこんなにまとまってする機会も今までなかったですし、新曲が増えるだけでも嬉しいのに、これがアーティスト活動だよなぁ…って実感しました。

──ハロー!プロジェクトの卒業生の中でも、これだけ音楽活動に徹したグループはなかなかいないですよね。ライヴも頻繁にやって、新曲もどんどん増えていって。

村田:10年目にして一番レコーディングをした年でもありますよ。楽曲に対する有り難みがより一層判りました。

斉藤:普段そのバンドさんがやっているスタイルのレコーディングに入っていく形だったので、いろんなやり方がありましたし、曲を作るってこんなにも日数と時間が掛かるんだなと思いましたね。『ALWAYS LOVE YOU』は完成したのが朝の5時くらいだったんですけど、そういうことを私たちはこれまで経験してこなかったし、全部含めると1曲1曲どれもただ唄って終わりじゃないということを知れて凄く嬉しかったです。


2月19日は素敵な記念日にしたい

──このアルバムをもって“ロック化計画”は完結と相成りますが、10周年の記念ライヴはどんなものにしたいですか。

大谷:“ロック化計画”を経験できたことで、昔の曲もちょっと違った味になるんじゃないかなと思いました。この前もみんなでライヴのメニューを決めていたんですけど、最近のライヴで唄っていない曲を今唄ったら全然違う感じになるんだろうなって思います。

柴田:ライヴが私たちを一番出せると思うし、輝ける場所だと思うので、10周年のライヴは大いに楽しみたいし、楽しんでもらいたいですね。

──東京公演と大阪での2公演ではメニューが全部異なるわけで、仕込みも大変でしょうね。

斉藤:10年分の感謝を込めて昔の曲も入れているので、懐かしいとか成長したなと思って頂けたら嬉しいです。

村田:その当時に戻ると言うよりは、今の私たちでその曲を唄ったら…みたいな感じも出せるかなと思うので。

──当時は今ひとつ理解できなかったけど、今ならよく理解できる歌詞もありますか。

柴田:デビュー曲の『甘いあなたの味』は、当時レコーディングしたのが15歳だったので、“KISS ME”とか“LOVE ME”という英語の発音もままならないのに、とりあえず唄うしかないみたいな感情でした。逆に、今は絶対にあんな唄い方はできないなって思います。

村田:私は、デビュー曲のカップリングで入っていた『スキップ!』が思い出深いですね。当時は4人ユニゾンでブースに入って唄ったんですけど、合わせるのもそれぞれぎこちなかったし、気をつけなきゃいけない点を念頭に置いて唄ったので、曲は明るいのに歌声はどこかフワフワしたような、初々しさが全面に出たような感じなんです。歌詞の中に“気が付いたら~”っていうフレーズがありますけど、メロン記念日が10周年を迎えて“今、気が付いたらメロンのメンバーがそばにいた”って感じが凄くしました。

斉藤:ああ、なるほどね。

──あと、このアルバムにはこれまでのコラボレーション楽曲のPV集が付くんですよね。

斉藤:ミドリさんとのPVはご覧になりました?

──いえ、まだなんですよ。

斉藤:これは素晴らしいですよ。私たちがそれぞれ楽器を持って、『sweet suicide summer story』を演奏しているふうに撮ってあるんですけど、弾けやしないし叩けもしないのに一生懸命やってるのがちょっと笑えて。

──当て振りってやつですね。それぞれの楽器の担当は?

斉藤:まりこさんがイメージで割り振ってくれたんですけど、私がギターです。

柴田:私はキーボード。

村田:ベースです。とっつぁんさんが持っている大きいベースではないんですが…。

大谷:で、ドラムが私です。

村田:まぁしぃは流血するほど叩いてましたね。ワー! って言うから、見たら血が飛んでて(笑)。

大谷:指の短い間隔で突き指して、えぐれて、マメが出来て…見事にトリプル達成です(笑)。

──本誌でインタビューをさせて頂いた最初の頃は、各人が楽器に関心があって練習もたまにしていると仰っていましたけど、“ロック化計画”が進行していくにつれて自分たちの楽器は声なんだと強く意識するようになりましたよね。

大谷:やっぱりこっちやなって思ったんですよね。

斉藤:声こそが私たちの武器なんだなって。

柴田:まぁ、開き直ってきた部分もありますけどね(笑)。

大谷:やっぱり難しいですよ。音を録るところから携わっていくと、楽器は無理だなと思うことが多くて、プロのバンドの方は凄いなと思いました。

──でも、4人それぞれの“担当”がバンドで言うパートみたいなものじゃないですか。

一同:はい。

──それと、“ロック化計画”の延長戦としてブルーハーツのトリビュート・アルバム『THE BLUE HEARTS“25th Anniversary”TRIBUTE』に『キスして欲しい』で参加されるんですよね。これはメロン記念日が楽器を持たないロック・バンドとして認知された証拠だと言えませんか。

村田:『キスして欲しい』のレコーディングは最初に強めで唄ったんですけど、「もっと女の子らしさを出したほうがいい」とプロデューサーの森 純太さん[ex. ジュン・スカイ・ウォーカーズ]に言われて、ちょうどいいバランスになりました。

大谷:こうしてカヴァーしたことで自分たちのライヴで唄ってもいいというのが凄い嬉しいです。どこに行ってもこの曲はみんな知ってますから。

──最後に、10周年を迎えるにあたって今後はどんなことを目指していきたいですか。メロンとしてでも、一人の女性としてでも結構なのですが。

大谷:私はジムの成果を出したいです。コンサートが来るたびにやってるんですけど、なかなか結果が出ないんですよね。今までも食べないで追い込んで、当日どっひゃー!みたいな感じでしたけど、今度のライヴはさらに体力を使いそうな内容なので、ジムで体を変えつつ、こういうふうになりたかったんだ!って鍛えた成果をお見せできたらいいなと思います。

村田:私は20代最後の1年を迎えるので、1日1日を大事に過ごしたいですね。去年のスケジュール帳には予定だけじゃなく、自分が経験したことの他にニュースや事件も書き込んでいたんですよ。そういう自分には直接関係ないことも積み重なって今の私になっているので、毎日をミルフィーユのように積み重ねていこうと思っています。

斉藤:むーちゃん、上手!(笑)

──やはり、20代最後の1年は女子にとって夏の終わりにも似た儚さを感じるものなんでしょうか。

村田:そうですねぇ…。でも、今の30代の女性は輝いている方が多い気がするので、自分もそんな方々に少しでも近づきたいです。

──個人的な話で恐縮ですが、僕が20代後半の頃は早く30代になりたかったですね。怒髪天を筆頭に、人生を貪欲に楽しんでいる諸先輩バンドが周囲にたくさんいましたし。でも、女性と男性じゃ感覚は違いますよね。

斉藤:30歳を越えると開き直れて楽しそうですけど、30歳手前の女の子は微妙な時期だと思いますよ。

──斉藤さんのブログを拝見すると、アラサーに揺れ動く乙女の気持ちが行間から滲み出ている時がありますしね(笑)。

斉藤:滲み出まくりですよ(笑)。正月休みで地元に帰って親戚が集まると、年頃の女子としては「まだかまだか」と言われてしまうので焦りますけど、自分の人生をメロンに費やしたという意味では10周年を悔いなくいいものにしたいです。自分にとってもそうだし、応援してくれてる人にとっても2010年2月19日という日が忘れられない日になるんじゃないかなと思うので。そういう日にさせますよ。

(http://img9.imageshack.us/img9/4696/03ap1.jpg)(http://img5.imageshack.us/img5/9610/03ap2.jpg)

柴田:私も、先のことと言うよりは目の前にあるものを着実に乗り越えていきたいので、とりあえず2月19日の記念日を心に刻み込みたいですね。ただでさえ感動すると思いますが、この年になって些細なことで涙腺が弱くなっているので…。悔いなく素敵な記念日にしたいです。

My Melon Kinenbi story:
I don't really remember how I got into them...but since the first time I really liked their style :) And how each other personalities balanced the group (just like things should be). Besides, is the only group where all the members can actually sing and their looks were and ara always cool compared to the rest :D

Favourite Melon Kinenbi member:
Murata Megumi

Favourite Melon Kinenbi song:
Kirai, Suki Suki Suki Honto, Uso Uso Uso

Favourite Melon Kinenbi PV:

Favourite Melon Kinenbi album:

Other comments:
I wish them a brilliant future; they were and are some of the most talented peopel who had ever been on H!P and sadly they were underrated (stupid people -.-). Theirs disbandment really hurts me but I can say for sure that MELON'S NOT DEAD in my heart.

That's so sad :( :( Don't tell me there's gonna be a severe lack of Ayumi/Boss in my life... I heard that if that's true, then that could potentially destroy the universe.

In seriousness, I really do hope the girls go onto bigger and better things in the future.

There I thought with a album title like "Melon's Not Dead" and all the collaboration singles lately they'd be around for another 10 years.
Though I'll miss MK terribly, I wish them all the best for their future plans and hope they stay in the music biz in one or another way *sniff*

I wasn't into Melon when they were in H!P actually i didn't like them. I gave them credit 'cause i know they were talented, i watched the acapella performance they did with Ayaya but i just didn't quite like them. Then i give them a change and i realize of all i had miss. They're incredible awesome and just then.... They're leave H!P WHAT!!   :shock:.............. fine i can leave with that, specially 'cause there's a new album coming Melon's NOT DEAD yay but then....... are you freaking kidding me? :grr:

I don't know what to believe anymore  :on cloudeye:

Well, after saying I was going to do it for about a year, I finally uploaded the alternate opening to ROCK desu yo!
ROCKですよ! 「横浜蜃気楼」(Rock desu yo! Yokohama Shinkirou) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHZ98GLyGVI#ws)

Much more dramatic than the regular opening they put in the DVD proper, IMO.
