第一次的嘗試:開著 Hustler 前往名古屋,應援京都橘高校吹奏樂部

9 月 25 日(星期五)凌晨 1 點,我從家裡出發,照慣例走一般道路,一邊休息一邊往名古屋的 Oasis 21 前進。26 日凌晨 2 點左右抵達名古屋。多虧住在名古屋的朋友推薦,我找到一個雖然有點距離但停 12 小時很便宜的停車場。之後我在附近的便利商店和電視塔周邊開車晃晃,稍微休息一下。

滑手機時,我第一次得知橘子(Tacchi)隊當天竟然還有遊行表演,既驚訝又覺得幸運。

早上 6 點把車停好後,我與「大好きさん」的夫妻朋友會合,步行約 30 分鐘,在 7 點前抵達 Oasis 21,現場已經有許多熟悉的應援者。

會場就在名古屋電視塔旁,是一座非常現代化的建築。地下有寬廣的活動空間,周圍有餐廳和商店。二樓有綠地廣場,更上面還有部分屋頂可以走。屋頂上有水池,因為屋頂是透明的,所以從活動空間往上看,可以看到水池底部。除非下大雨,整體設計非常穩固。我第一次看到這樣的建築,真的覺得「人類好厲害」。

(照片:二樓的綠地廣場「綠之大地」,原本預定在這裡進行遊行。)

遊行預定 11:30 開始,所以我們先確認遊行路線、吃早餐、聊天,度過愉快的時光。

橘子隊的舞台表演預定 15:30,所以時間很充裕。多虧如此,我還能一邊聊天,一邊品嚐大阪的應援者送的懷舊「肉桂糖」。

(照片:抵達時拍的舞台樣子,當時還擔心舞台太小。)

在橘子隊之前的團體進行了彩排,因此朋友說橘子隊應該也會彩排。我也這麼想,果然在遊行開始前約一小時,工作人員開始測量舞台、貼定位標記、搬入打擊樂器。

接著,拿著樂器的部員陸續進場,開始音響彩排。幾乎把所有曲目都演了一遍,真的是非常幸運。

去年在伏見港時,我也碰巧看到他們在網球場彩排,這次是第二次遇到這種好事。

天氣方面,凌晨 2 點左右下了約 30 分鐘的大雨,但之後就停了。我祈禱能撐到遊行時間。

然而,遊行開始前 30 分鐘雨又變大,遊行只好取消。

許多工作人員迅速調整場地,為橘子隊重新安排椅子、圍欄等。雖然舞台看起來很小,但他們重新配置後就沒問題了。

拍照是嚴格禁止的。工作人員舉著牌子,一有人想拍就立刻制止。二樓也被錐形路障封起來,不能從上面觀看。多名工作人員巡邏,提醒大家不要停留、不要拍照。

橘子隊的舞台表演開始前 30 分鐘,站位的編號被貼在路障上,入場非常順利。

我很幸運抽到站票,所以能在第二排應援。沒抽到的人也能在後方的圍欄外觀看。果然橘子隊人氣超高,回頭一看全是人。

表演約在 15:45 開始。橘子隊穿著橘色裙子與白色 T 恤,以招牌曲《Winter Games》開場,最後以《Sing》收尾,共演奏 10 首曲目。由小號聲部的 MC 帶領,全程充滿活力與笑容,在熱烈掌聲中結束。

演奏曲目(10 曲):

  • Winter Games
  • Megalovania
  • Hot Stuff
  • You’ve Got a Friend in Me
  • Mickey
  • Could Have Been Me
  • We’re All Alone
  • Sing Sing Sing
  • Magical Experience(MC 演出段落)
  • Finale(Sing Sing Sing ~ Ending)

兩側有幾位一年級部員待命,可能是因為舞台空間有限。

表演結束後,我去三樓屋頂看看。外圈可以散步,中央的大水池從下往上看會因光線和風而呈現不同效果,非常有趣。

回程時,我哼著《We’re All Alone》,回味整場演出。途中還逛了大型相機店和二手店,最後平安回家。

愛車 Hustler 的總行程是 907 公里,比去京都近得多。

下次再見!

First-Time Journey: Supporting Kyoto Tachibana at Oasis 21

“A Trip in My Hustler to Support the Kyoto Tachibana High School Band”

On Friday, September 25, I left home at 1:00 AM and drove along my usual local roads, taking breaks while heading toward Oasis 21 in Nagoya. I arrived around 2:00 AM on the 26th. Thanks to advice from a friend in Nagoya, I found a parking lot a bit far from the venue but inexpensive if used for 12 hours. I spent some time driving around nearby convenience stores and the area around the TV Tower before taking a short rest.

While checking SNS, I learned for the first time that Tacchi-san would also be performing a parade. I was surprised—and thrilled.

I parked at 6:00 AM and met up with a couple from the “Daisuki-san” group. We walked for about 30 minutes and arrived at Oasis 21 just before 7:00 AM, where familiar faces were already gathered.

The venue is located right next to the Nagoya TV Tower. It’s a modern structure with a large underground event space surrounded by restaurants and shops. Above it is a green plaza on the second floor, and even higher, parts of the rooftop are accessible. There’s a pool-like structure on the roof, and because the roof is transparent, you can see the bottom of the pool from the event space below. Unless there’s heavy rain, the structure seems very sturdy. I was genuinely impressed—at my age, I felt like I was discovering something amazing for the first time.

The photo above shows the open green plaza on the second floor (“Green Earth”), where the parade was scheduled to take place.

Since the parade was set for 11:30 AM, we spent the time checking the parade route on the second floor, having breakfast, and enjoying conversations about Tacchi-san.

Tacchi-san’s stage performance was scheduled for 3:30 PM, so we had plenty of time. Thanks to that, I enjoyed chatting while savoring traditional Nikki candy given to me by the well-known “Osaka uncle,” a regular at Tacchi-san events.

The photo above shows the event stage upon arrival. I wondered whether the stage might be too small.

Oh, and one more thing…

A group performing before Tacchi-san held a rehearsal, so one of the ladies in our group—who had already attended this event twice and knew the venue well—said Tacchi-san would surely rehearse too. I expected it, and indeed, about an hour before the parade time, staff members began preparing the stage, marking positions with a large measuring tape and bringing in percussion instruments.

Just when I thought they were done, members carrying instruments entered and began a full sound rehearsal. It felt like they played almost the entire set—an incredibly lucky moment right before my eyes.

Last year at Fushimi Port, I also happened to see their rehearsal on the tennis courts, so this was my second time being fortunate enough to witness it.

As for the weather, it rained heavily for about 30 minutes around 2:00 AM, but then stopped. I hoped it would hold until the parade.

However, although ropes were set up along the parade route and everything was ready, rain began falling again about 30 minutes before start time, and unfortunately, the parade was canceled.

Many staff members worked quickly to adjust the venue for each performer—removing chairs, repositioning barricades, and preparing the stage for Tacchi-san. Although the stage looked small in photos, they rearranged everything to accommodate the performance.

Photography was strictly prohibited. Staff members held signs and immediately warned anyone attempting to take photos. Even the second floor was blocked off with cones, preventing people from watching from above. Several staff members patrolled, reminding people not to stop or take pictures.

As for Tacchi-san’s drill stage, signs indicating standing positions were placed on the cones about 30 minutes before the performance, making entry smooth and organized.

I was lucky to win a standing ticket in the lottery, so I watched from the second row. Those without tickets could still watch from behind the barricades. As expected from Tacchi-san’s popularity, the crowd behind us was huge.

The performance began around 3:45 PM. Wearing orange skirts and white T-shirts, they started with their signature “Winter Games” and finished with “Sing,” performing a total of ten pieces. Guided by the trumpet section’s MC, the show was full of energy and smiles, ending with thunderous applause.

Setlist (10 songs):

  • Winter Games
  • Megalovania
  • Hot Stuff
  • You’ve Got a Friend in Me
  • Mickey
  • Could Have Been Me
  • We’re All Alone
  • Sing Sing Sing
  • Magical Experience (MC performance segment)
  • Finale (Sing Sing Sing ~ Ending)

A few first-year students stood on both sides, perhaps due to the limited stage space.

After the performance, I went to see the third-floor rooftop. You can walk around the outer edge, and the large pool in the center looks different depending on the light and wind when viewed from below—very interesting.

On the way home, I hummed “We’re All Alone,” recalling the wonderful performance. I also visited a large camera store and some reuse shops before returning home safely.

My Hustler’s total travel distance was 907 km. Compared to driving to Kyoto, it felt surprisingly close.

Well then—until next time!
