7Y11M 6M2M ペナンママさんコーラス Penang Japanese Women's Choir

ペナンママさんコーラス。



母が滞在中、あまりにも暇なので、歌の好きな母のためにと思って、日本語コーラス作らない？とあっこちゃんに声をかけたらあっという間に３５人ぐらい集まった。

英語ならIWAコーラスがあるけど、英語にはちょっと抵抗がある人・・・MM２Hも駐妻も、日本語で歌いたいマレーシア人もみんなで歌えたら楽しい。そのうちIWAみたいに施設の慰問に行ってもいい。とりあえずは、来年のよさこいパレードに向けて練習中。

ペナンには才能がある人が多い。指導をやってくれるみちよさんは、声楽のプロ。教える場にも慣れているから１００％まかせっぱなし。

活動は不定期。練習だけの参加もOK。今回のタームは、懐かしい日本の唱歌、マレー語の歌、そしてKiroroの「未来へ」を一番日本語、二番中国語（中国語題：後（后）来）。日本語もいいけど、中国語版もとってもいい。

肝心の母は帰ってしまったけど、楽しみ～。

Mum got terribly bored to the extent she became rather depressed. To cheer her up, I came up with an idea to form a Japanese choir as singing is one of her hobbies. Then, through Akko's network, more than 35 singers came forward.

If it is in English, IWA choir has a good reputation. But lot of Japanese women still don't have enough confident to join an English choir even though they love singing.  And hopefully we can create an environment where expatriate women and MM2H women meet and mingle. It's worked well so far.

We have lots of women with exceptionally good talent in Penang. Our team leader, Michiyo is a professional vocalist who studied at the top music university in Japan, then obtained her further training in Italy.

Our practice and activity schedule is not regular and we only decide to practise for certain events. This time, it's for Yosakoi parade in January.

We are going to sing some Japanese traditional schol songs, a couple of Malay tunes, and a Japanese pop covered in Chinese, Mirai e (Hou Lai), in both Japanese and Chinese. If you want to sing in Japanese, everybody is welcome.
