An Elvis-like singer arrives in a quiet Japanese fishing village for a last-minute Bon Odori performance. As the slapback echoes across the bay, the music summons generations of restless spirits, transforming one summer festival into the greatest ghost party ever put on film. もうひとつの世界で製作された、幻の1957年ロカビリー・ミュージカル。エルヴィスそっくりの若きスターが、急きょ盆踊りの出演を頼まれ、日本の小さな漁村を訪れる。スラップバック・エコーが夏の夜の入り江に響いた瞬間、忘れ去られた幾世代もの霊たちが目を覚ます――。こうして、一夜限りの夏祭りは、映画史上かつてない幽霊たちの大宴会へと姿を変える。 [Disc A: Elvis ad-libs, Japanese festival shouts, ghost call-response choir] [Disc B: slapback rockabilly kit, brushed snare, walking bass, taiko overdubs] [Disc C: Gretsch 6120, Jazzmaster surf guitar, Hohner Marine Band harmonica, shamisen, shinobue] [Disc D: vinyl crackle, temple ambience, ocean surf, light DJ scratches, tape flutter, ghost crowd] [Lyrics_Lock] [Key_Lock: E_Major] [Tempo_Lock: 142_BPM] [Vocal_Lock: deadpan_young_baritone, Sun_Studio_hiccup_phrasing, occasional_yelps] [Intro 4 bars. Gretsch slapback guitar. Walking upright bass. Brushed snare. Room count-in.] One... Two... Aaaaaw.....let's go... ------------------------------------------------ [Verse 1] Well I rolled into a seaside town, Doyōbi no yoru. Chōchin lanterns glowin' By a stage beside the shore. The mayor said, "The matsuri's in trouble tonight." I said, "Mondai nai, ma'am... my band's all right." Yūko sold me takoyaki, Said I looked like a fool. I said, "Uh-huh... hai... sō desu..." And I kept it cool. Plugged in by the water, Let the slapback ring. Didn't know that echo Was an invitin' thing. ------------------------------------------------ [Chorus] Bon Odori! Bon Odori! Dance until the dawn! Yūrei from the water, But the band plays on! Taiko keepin' backbeat, Chōchin burnin' bright! Obāchan said, "Be home by mornin'." Bāchan... not tonight! Ā-hā! Hē-hē! Odore! Odore yo! Bon Odori! Bon Odori! Shisha mo odoru yo! ------------------------------------------------ [Spoken] "Johnny... don't quit!" "Ma'am... I wasn't plannin' to." ------------------------------------------------ [Harmonica Solo] [8 bars.] [Hohner Marine Band in A. 2nd position. Answers chorus melody. Slapback echo. Hand claps continue.] ------------------------------------------------ [Verse 2] Second song in, Well the tide went wrong. Fishermen come walkin' Who'd been gone too long. Back in eighteen ninety-seven... Their boat went down. Now they're doin' the Twist On the edge of town. A tax collector followed. Nobody mourned him none. Then Setsuko-bāchan, Dead since fifty-four, Went straight to the food stalls. (Turntable scratch) "Kore ja dame." Yūko's ojīchan Whispered low to me... "They only stay If the music stops." So... The music never stops. ------------------------------------------------ [Chorus] Bon Odori! Bon Odori! Dance until the dawn! Yūrei from the water, But the band plays on! Taiko keepin' backbeat, Chōchin burnin' bright! Obāchan said, "Be home by mornin'." Bāchan... not tonight! Ā-hā! Hē-hē! (Turntable scratch) Odore! Odore yo! Bon Odori! Bon Odori! Shisha mo odoru yo! ------------------------------------------------ [Spoken] "They're still comin' outta the water!" "Then somebody hand me my harp." ------------------------------------------------ [Harmonica Solo] [8 bars. Cross-harp improvisation over chorus changes.] [The yūrei answer with distant shamisen.] ------------------------------------------------ [Bridge] [Scotty Moore guitar break. Heavy slapback. Room whoops.] ------------------------------------------------ [Spoken] A yūrei borrowed the shamisen. ... He was pretty good. ------------------------------------------------ [Verse 3] (Vinyl slows) All night long We held that groove. (Turntable scratch) Dead folks in the circle Showin' old-time moves. Setsuko-bāchan Callin' "Mō ikkyoku!" Tax man doin' Hip swivels... Yatto jōzu. Dare mo nigenai. Dare mo kowakunai. Just Obon In a little seaside town. Come first light I took my harp Down to the sand. Blew one last slow one... They followed the band. ------------------------------------------------ [Spoken] "Sergeant... they're still dancin'." "Then keep playin', son." ------------------------------------------------ [Final Chorus] Bon Odori! Bon Odori! Dance until the dawn! Yūrei to the water When the sun comes on! Tōrō nagashi Driftin' slow. Chōchin burnin' Soft and low. Setsuko-bāchan Waved goodbye. "Sayōnara... mata rainen." Ā-hā! Hē-hē! Odore! Odore yo! Bon Odori! Bon Odori! Shisha wa kaeru yo! ------------------------------------------------ [Outro] Bando wa tsuzuku yo... Bando wa tsuzuku yo... (Half-spoken) I bowed to Yūko... Hit my head On the torii gate. (Room laughter.) (Taiko fades) (Vinyl slows) (Tape flutter) ... [And the band plays on] ----------------Japanese---------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------- [Verse 1] 港町へ たどり着いた 土曜の夜さ 浜の舞台に 赤い提灯 ゆれている 町長さんが 困り顔 「今夜のお祭り どうにもならんのです」 俺は笑って 帽子を上げ 「心配ないさ バンドに任せな」 ユウコがくれた 熱いたこ焼き 「あんた変わった人だね」 「へぇ… そうかい… そうですか」 笑って肩をすくめた 浜辺でギターを鳴らしゃ スラップバックが 夜空へ飛んだ 誰が知る その響きが あの世まで届くなんて ------------------------------------------------ [Chorus] 盆踊り！ 盆踊り！ 夜明けまで踊ろう！ 海から幽霊 それでもバンドは止まらない！ 太鼓がドンドン 提灯ゆらゆら ばあちゃん言った 「朝までには帰っといで」 ばあちゃん… 今夜は無理だ！ アーハ！ ヘーヘー！ 踊れ！ 踊れよ！ 盆踊り！ 盆踊り！ 死んだ人まで踊るよ！ ------------------------------------------------ [Verse 2] 二曲目あたりで 潮が変われば 沖で眠った 漁師さんまで ぞろぞろ歩いて 帰ってきた 明治三十年 沈んだ船の 仲間たち 今じゃ浜辺で ツイスト踊る 税金取りまで ついてきた 誰も惜しまぬ その人を 節子ばあちゃん 屋台を見つけ 「こんなんじゃ だめだよ！」 ユウコのおじいちゃん 小さな声で 「あの人たちはな 音が止まれば 帰らない」 だから今夜は 朝までずっと 演奏つづけた ------------------------------------------------ [Verse 3] 朝までずっと 踊りは続く 生きた人も 死んだ人も ひとつ輪になって 節子ばあちゃん 「もう一曲！」 税金取りまで 腰をふる やっと様になった 誰も逃げない 誰も怖がらない ただのお盆の 港町 夜が明け ハーモニカを 浜辺で吹けば みんな笑って 海へ帰った ------------------------------------------------ [Final Chorus] 盆踊り！ 盆踊り！ 夜明けまで踊ろう！ 朝日が昇れば 幽霊ゃ海へ帰るだけ！ 灯籠流し ゆらゆら流れ 提灯の灯も 静かに揺れる 節子ばあちゃん 手を振って 「また来年！」 アーハ！ ヘーヘー！ 踊れ！ 踊れよ！ 盆踊り！ 盆踊り！ また来年！
