POD CAST風　いしやきいも雑考 - Thoughts on ISHIYAKI IMO-

Full Song, ambient, serene, female vocals, synthesizer

(曲１　いしやきいもーーーー　３０秒)

こんにちわ。TOOoneのボイス担当Dispinaです。
寒くなると日本全国津々浦々に現れる石焼き芋の軽トラ。
日本のB級スイーツ、いやいまでは焼き芋専門店でブランド焼き芋までいただけるんだから。ちょっとした高級スイーツかもしれませんね。

さて、あの「いしやぁきいもー」というフレーズ、ルーツは50年代あたりらしいですが、さだかではありません。このフレーズをSUNOに録音したらどんな曲ができるだろうか、素朴な疑問。できあがった曲。
「いしやぁきいもー」というフレーズから”スーノ”が妄想したジャパニーズ・トラッドなアンビエント音楽。

これはそのまま録音した音がキレイにアレンジされてでてきました。無駄にうつくしい。このまま、歌詞もSUNO生成依頼して、曲にしてみたくなりました。
まずはお聞きください。

─────歌詞─────
石焼き芋
お芋

朝の沢に
霧はたつ
桑の葉さき
雫く夜

帰る道は
水の音
君の声を
胸に抱きて
( 帰る道は
水の音)

空の色が
夜に紛れて
足音だけが
伸びてゆく
( 雫夜
君の声)

帰る道は
水の音
君の声を
胸に抱きて
( 帰る道は
水の音)

お芋
風に乗せて

(曲　２　美しい誤解　２分４０秒)

いかがでしたか？これはなんというか日本食が海外で異常なほどの人気になっているトレンドのなかで、石焼き芋も、美しい日本の美食へとSUNO内で変換されてしまいました。コンビニスィーツがほめられるより、くすぐったい感じ。「あの、それは、誤解ですよ」っていう日本人はあまりいないでしょうね、ほどほどに心地良いからね。

*石焼き芋
季節の移動販売の代表　ヨーロッパの「焼き栗（ロースト・チェストナッツ）,北米の「ホットサイダー（アップルサイダー）トラック」を思い起こしてもらうとピッタリです

*雫（しず）く
日本語としては誤用ですが詩的な文脈や創作であれば、あえて文法を崩す「詩的許容）として「雫く（しずく）」を動詞化して使うのは非常に魅力的

Podcast: Musings on Ishiyaki-Imo
Thoughts on Japanese Stone-Roasted Sweet Potatoes
────────────
 [Track 1: Ishiyaki-Imo — 0:30]

Hello, everyone!

I'm Dispina, the voice of TOOone.

As the weather turns colder, little trucks selling *ishiyaki-imo*—stone-roasted sweet potatoes—start appearing in towns and neighborhoods all across Japan.
Once considered a humble, inexpensive Japanese street snack, roasted sweet potatoes have come a long way. These days, there are specialty shops selling premium varieties, carefully selected and prepared.
Perhaps they've become something of a luxury dessert!
Now, you may have heard that familiar street vendor's call:

*“Ishiyaaaaki-imoooo!”*

Its origins may go back to around the 1950s, although the exact history isn't entirely clear.
That got me wondering: what would happen if I recorded that simple call and fed it into SUNO?

Well, here's what happened.
From that one little phrase, SUNO dreamed up its own version of traditional Japanese ambient music.
The original recorded call came back beautifully arranged, almost untouched in spirit.
Beautiful for absolutely no good reason!
It was so unexpectedly lovely that I couldn't resist taking things further. I asked SUNO to generate some lyrics and turn the whole thing into a complete song.
Have a listen.

[Verse 1]

Stone-roasted sweet potatoes.
Sweet potatoes.

[Verse 2]
Morning mist rises
above the mountain stream.
Dew gathers on the mulberry leaves,
a night of falling droplets.( *Shizuku Yoru)

[Chorus]
On the road home,
the sound of flowing water.
I carry your voice
close to my heart.
(On the road home,
the sound of flowing water.)

[Verse 3]
The color of the sky
fades into the night.
Only my footsteps
stretch farther into the distance.
(A night of falling droplets,
your voice.)

[Chorus]
On the road home,
the sound of flowing water.
I carry your voice
close to my heart.
(On the road home,
the sound of flowing water.)

[Outro]
Sweet potatoes,
carried on the wind.

[Track 2: A Beautiful Misunderstanding — 2:40]

So, what did you think?
With Japanese food enjoying extraordinary popularity around the world, it seems that somewhere inside SUNO's imagination, even the humble roasted sweet potato has been transformed into a refined piece of Japanese culinary art.
It's a little more embarrassing than hearing someone rave about Japanese convenience-store desserts.

You almost want to say,
*"Um... actually, that's not quite what we meant."*
But I doubt many Japanese people would bother correcting the misunderstanding.
After all, it's a rather pleasant one.

---------Notes---------------

*Ishiyaki-Imo (石焼き芋)
A traditional Japanese seasonal street food: sweet potatoes slowly roasted over heated stones, often sold from small trucks during the colder months.
For a familiar comparison, think of roasted chestnut vendors in Europe, or seasonal hot apple cider stands and trucks in North America.
And then imagine the vendor calling out the name of the product in a long, unmistakable melody.
That's *ishiyaki-imo*.

*“Shizuku” (雫く)
The Japanese lyrics contain an unusual expression, *shizuku*, derived from the noun meaning “droplet” or “dewdrop.”
In standard Japanese, using it as a verb in this way is unconventional. But in poetry and creative writing, deliberately bending grammar can produce beautiful and evocative expressions.

It's an example of *poetic license*—and in this case, a rather charming invention by SUNO.
