やっぱり空気の感じが違うなと思いましたよ。
“As I expected, the feeling of the air is different here,” I thought.

パリっとしていて、気温も低いですね。
It felt very crisp (like…cool and crisp air), and the temperature was low as well.

そんな事を思いながら、岩手県民会館に行ってきました。
And as I was having those thoughts, we went off to Iwate Prefectural Meeting Hall.

会館自体は古いけど、地盤が岩だった為会館も破損が少なくて済んだそうです。
The meeting hall itself is pretty old, but because the base of the building is all rock, it seems that the hall got away with only a little damage (from the earthquake – If you didn’t know, Morioka is in the Tohoku Region where the earthquake hit).

デビュー当時からお世話になっている仙台のマーチンさんが教えてくれました。
A Sendai native, Martin-san, who took care of me during my debut period, told me this.

岩手県民会館は、音の粒が細かい感じがしました。
In Iwate Prefectural Meeting Hall, the pearls of sound feel like they’re more detailed.

色んな事を教えてもらったのですが、さんさ踊りの掛け声は初めて聞きましたよ！
She taught me many things, and I heard the calls that they yell out for the Sansa Odori (traditional dance in Morioka) for the first time!

会場の皆の声が合わさると、すごい迫力でしたね。
When everyone in the venue joined their voices together, the intensity of it was amazing.

ラーメンズのネタで「牛タンタタタンタタンタ〜ン」というネタが好きで、
I love Rahmen’s (comedian pair) “Gyuu tan tatatan ta tan ta~n” joke (gyuutan is “beef tongue,” a specialty dish in Sendai)

客席とステージも近くて一体感を感じて嬉しかったな。
The seats for the audience were also close to the stage so I was really happy to feel this sense of unity with everyone.

皆素敵な笑顔で、お礼に校歌を大きな声で歌ってくれました。
As an expression of gratitude, everyone sang their school song for me in loud voices with beautiful smiles on their faces.
