00:30Chapter 1
00:37Life may be a ball of motion correction.
00:44Being drawn by the gravity of music,
00:48Keitaro Harada says,
00:51I never thought I would be a conductor.
01:00♪
01:06Keitaro Harada is an official member of the Tokyo Symphony Orchestra.
01:10At the same time, he is a world-renowned conductor
01:13who plays an important role in America.
01:16♪
01:24Chapter 2
01:27He is a delicate and powerful conductor.
01:30He brings out the full potential of the orchestra
01:34and overwhelms the audience.
01:37♪
01:45Even the best soloists don't hold back.
01:49♪
01:52I feel that I make aggressive music
01:55that is very close to the music I want to make.
02:00He is very good at deciding the tempo and the world view.
02:08I think it suits me very well.
02:12I like that very much.
02:15♪
02:17The concert is packed until five years later.
02:19♪
02:2239-year-old Keitaro Harada has great expectations.
02:25But he said some unexpected words.
02:29♪
02:32I was not raised in a musical environment.
02:35I don't have any musical talent.
02:38I think my musical talent is close to zero.
02:41♪
02:47Savannah, Georgia
02:50Savannah is a tourist city
02:53that leaves a trace of the colonial era.
02:56It is one of Harada's locations.
03:01Savannah Philharmonic is the only orchestra in the city.
03:05Although it was founded in 2009,
03:08it is a pride of the residents.
03:10He has been a music director for four years.
03:14This is our office.
03:17Good morning.
03:19Good morning.
03:21How are you?
03:23Good.
03:25She said we could split.
03:28He was in charge of the production of the whole orchestra.
03:32He was in charge of the production of the whole orchestra.
03:36He was in charge of the production of the whole orchestra.
03:41The question at that moment was end of the season program.
03:45I don't know if you agree to this,
03:48but we could do like an Enigma Type 5 concert without a soloist.
03:52We don't have to.
03:54But if you're going for sort of the sponsorship-ness of it.
04:02But that's true. Do we want to just...
04:05The orchestra is already looking for a sponsor
04:08who can afford to buy the tickets.
04:12I don't know what they're talking. Maybe they have some...
04:15The conductor is in charge of the city's treasures.
04:19He seems to be quite popular.
04:22No, you're good.
04:24Two iced coffee.
04:26I just want a latte or coffee.
04:28Hi.
04:30Is this you?
04:32Yes.
04:34When are you going to do another concert?
04:37Out here in October.
04:39It's always the first weekend of October.
04:42We'll be there.
04:44Enjoy your afternoon.
04:46You too.
04:48The regular concert was approaching the next day.
04:53The rehearsal began.
04:58TAKUTO
05:04It's strange that so many different sounds
05:07come together to form a single piece.
05:11He taught us the meaning of the role of a conductor.
05:16An orchestra can play without a conductor.
05:22The better the orchestra,
05:25the more automatically it can play a piece.
05:30But there's no order.
05:33If there were 100 orchestras in front of me,
05:36I wouldn't have 100 preferences for this piece.
05:43To play this piece,
05:46I need to find the most attractive commonality.
05:49I'm the conductor.
05:51I interpret the message
05:54from the composer to the orchestra.
06:01I tell them what to do
06:04from point A to point B.
06:07That's my role.
06:20Before that, you can stay easy.
06:23Let your non-assistant play.
06:31In the rehearsal,
06:33TAKUTO examines the characteristics and weaknesses of the performers.
06:36Sometimes, TAKUTO looks at each and every one of them
06:40and encourages them to stand up again.
06:47We're leaving now.
06:49We're leaving now.
06:51Seriously.
06:53For some reason,
06:55TAKUTO leaves the rehearsal room.
07:00Where are we going now?
07:02To a live broadcast.
07:04What live broadcast?
07:06A TV broadcast.
07:09TAKUTO is a reporter at a local TV station.
07:13Hi, how are you?
07:15He represents the music culture of the city.
07:19Philharmonic conductor Kei Harada is here with us in the studio.
07:24Kei, it's such a pleasure to have you.
07:26This Saturday is the big announcement of our 16th season,
07:31which starts in August.
07:34Tomorrow night at 7.30 at the Lucas Theater.
07:38Be sure to stick with us. We will be right back.
07:43Okay.
07:45All right, thank you so much.
07:49Let's go back to Japan.
07:54It's a long journey.
07:56Yeah, it's busy.
07:58That's a good thing.
08:02The night of the show.
08:06The theater was almost full.
08:12Let's go.
08:42TAKUTO
08:59The right hand has the desire for rhythm and expression.
09:04The left hand has feelings.
09:12TAKUTO
09:29Surprisingly, he stopped on the way.
09:36The moment when the conductor's intention and performance perfectly harmonized.
09:42TAKUTO
09:47When you feel like you have nothing to do,
09:51the music resounds the most.
09:55That's what Harada taught me.
09:58TAKUTO
10:13TAKUTO
10:24Amazing.
10:26Yes, wonderful.
10:28Oh my God, it was unbelievable.
10:30It's almost like he's...
10:33As he moves the wand through the air, it's like he's stirring liquid.
10:37And it's so beautiful. I love it.
10:39How was the run?
10:42It was good.
10:47Bravo!
10:49Yes, yes!
10:56He's been flying overseas for more than half a year.
11:02Maestro, who returned to Japan, is now in Karuizawa.
11:08How was your head?
11:09It was fine.
11:11When I held it, the length was just right.
11:15The same for this one?
11:17Yes.
11:19TAKUTO's favorite, a sculpture.
11:29No matter where you go in the world, people ask me,
11:32what's with that color?
11:34I always say, how can I buy it?
11:36Do you have a wand for sale?
11:39No, we don't.
11:41We don't?
11:43It all started with this chopstick.
11:46When I saw the chopstick,
11:48I thought I could make it longer and put it on the wand.
11:55In this town,
11:57along with the Tokyo Public Orchestra, which is in charge of the organizers,
12:01they are holding a classic event for summer vacation kids.
12:06Classics! Classics! Classics!
12:10Classics! Classics! Classics!
12:13Classics! Classics! Classics!
12:16What's this instrument?
12:18It's a trumpet.
12:20Oh, it's a trumpet.
12:22At the end of today's concert,
12:24I hope everyone will be able to say the name of the instrument.
12:27Classics! Classics! Classics!
12:31His curiosity for classical music
12:33has made him dream of playing one day.
12:41Even in Japan, Harada is busy.
12:45Every year, he is invited to perform with students from all over the country.
12:52Harada Keitaro.
12:54Thank you, Maestro.
12:55Let's give him a round of applause.
13:01Let's do it.
13:03Let's start with Verdi.
13:19Students are not always aiming to become professional musicians.
13:23They are learning music as a subject.
13:28What kind of music do you want to play for everyone?
13:32What color do you want to play?
13:34I want to play a dark color.
13:38Orange.
13:40Dark or light?
13:42Light.
13:44You can play any color you want.
13:47What color do you want to play?
13:51I want to play black.
13:53Black and death.
13:55I want to kill this person.
13:58That's how much I want to play.
14:01What color do you want to play?
14:04Not yet.
14:06Close your eyes.
14:08Raise your hand if you don't like this person.
14:11That's right. Raise your hand.
14:14Can you play while thinking about this person?
14:22The energy changes a lot, doesn't it?
14:25Of course, we rehearse a lot, but we can't convey our feelings.
14:31Let's play a character.
14:38There are many ways to go after graduation.
14:43Their words were full of passion.
14:49No one will make a career for you.
14:53No one will give you a job for you.
14:56I think it's better to remember that this is not the time.
15:01It's better to think that all humans are enemies.
15:04If you don't have the passion that you have to succeed,
15:09your life will be boring.
15:11That's the scariest thing.
15:14Knock on the door.
15:17That's the motto of my life.
15:20If you knock and open the door, you're lucky.
15:23If you don't open the door, it's okay.
15:27I want you to open the door like that.
15:36Knock on the door.
15:41That was Harada's way of life.
15:47When he was young, he longed to be a musical star.
15:51But he gave up because of the difficulty of singing.
15:54He dreamed of being a saxophonist who supported the stage,
15:58and went to American high school without telling his family.
16:01When he appeared in a concert,
16:05he was fascinated by the presence of a unique conductor.
16:08But in this country,
16:11you can't learn conducting until you go to a university.
16:15So he practiced martial arts in Russia during his vacation.
16:23He lived in an American conductor's house and was taught.
16:39When I come here, I feel like I know where I am.
17:00This is the room where he used to live.
17:04He learned conducting from 4 a.m. to 1 a.m.
17:08It's like a golf course.
17:13He lives with his wife, Yuri, in a Japanese house.
17:17I talked a lot.
17:20This is my mother.
17:23We're a tennis family, so I wanted to play tennis.
17:26But the level was too different, so I got depressed.
17:29I thought you'd get serious and get hurt.
17:32That's a failure.
17:35It's important to win or lose.
17:39Yuri is a professional tennis player.
17:43She says she has something in common with her husband.
17:49We're very similar in that we try to do one thing.
17:53If we don't spend time together, we can't get results.
17:59It's 4 a.m. when he meets his wife.
18:02It's 4 a.m. again.
18:06Wherever he is, he follows his habit.
18:11The sound of the instrument comes from the inside of my ears.
18:20I feel like I'm the conductor.
18:23I think about how much concentration I need to play this song.
18:35I watch each part carefully and experience it.
18:45I do this process for hours and hours.
18:53Little by little, the song becomes my own.
19:01By the way, the score he was reading was to be played at a concert a year from now.
19:07In October, the city of Savannah was exposed to a natural disaster,
19:13as a major music event was about to take place.
19:23Hurricane Harvey, which hit the southeast of the United States,
19:28was also hit by a hurricane in Savannah, one of Harada's bases.
19:32Even though a major music event in the city was about to take place.
19:40The power line is broken.
19:43What? The power line is broken.
19:48What's this?
19:54The power line is broken.
19:57The power line is broken.
19:59The power line is broken.
20:04Is it because the whole city is tired?
20:08I think the tension is low.
20:30There are still areas where electricity and water have stopped.
20:35What kind of words should I say to the members of the orchestra who came to the rehearsal in difficulty?
20:49The conductor, who had been depressed for a while, raised his head as if he had solidified his determination.
20:59Because of the hurricane, it's been a lot of things that we've had to face.
21:04But it's going to be fun. It's going to be enjoyable, and I'm excited for it.
21:09There's a lot of great energy and fun activities planned for tomorrow.
21:14Music is the common language of the world.
21:19That's why we can convey joy, sadness, and fun.
21:24We can also bring smiles to people.
21:28That's why I think music is the most important thing.
21:33I think music is the most important thing.
21:37I think music is the most important thing.
21:40I think music is the most important thing.
21:42Do you think music has a lot of magical potentials?
21:47Because I like it.
21:51I like music.
21:56I think it's my destiny to make music with people.
22:04Harada is also responsible for the 30,000 people who come to the event.
22:12The local media was waiting for him at the venue the day before.
22:31That's right.
22:32Four years ago, he recognized his ability and passion and gave up his bokeh.
22:37For the sake of this town.
22:42TAKUTO
22:47Once a year, a music event is held in the town.
22:54Takuto danced like a hurricane.
23:13The local media was waiting for him at the venue the day before.
23:17The orchestra is smiling and the audience is so far away, there are about 30,000 people,
23:46and I can feel the energy, the applause, the cheers, everything.
23:52I'm so grateful for the music.
23:55Thank you!
23:56Everyone is smiling.
23:58This fulfillment.
24:10A new door is always waiting for Keitaro Harada.
24:19Next time on Jounetsu Taimiku,
24:22Fortresser Kazuyuki Mori, a miracle revival.
24:26Four years after his death, he has only one dream.
24:31To be the best in Japan.
24:32I want to be on the stage of the final.
24:34First of all.
24:42I'm so happy!
24:44I'm so happy!
24:45I'm so happy!
