電磁行列│ELECTROMAGNETICAL PARADE (from “ELECTRONICOS FANTASTICOS!“)［Performance］

電磁スタイルの行列。
古い家電は現代の妖怪となって行進する。
人々は古家電の電磁楽器で祭囃子を奏で、現代の礎である電気を運び練り歩く。
Electromagnetic style parade.
The ghosts of old appliances march on.
People play festive music on the instruments of the old appliances, and carry electricity, the cornerstone of modernity.

Statement

集えや集え 妄想沸きあふるる愉快な人々よ
進めや進め 眠りに落ちゆくテクノロジー達よ
夜明け 微かな呼び声に導かれて 掘り起こし彷徨い
日がな 集い磁場が生まれ そして産声があがる
夕刻 時空河川に電流が通いて 電磁の歩みが始まる
ブラウン管の灯火が明滅し 目に見えない電磁波が空へと解き放たれる時
妖怪は妖怪を呼び 行列となって荒野を前進する
通りゃんせ 通りゃんせ 電気通りゃんせ
此処は何処の細道じゃ 天神様の細道じゃ
こわいながらも 通してくだしゃんせ
いよいよ月が現れ 楽団の山車が動き出す
人々は無限の電磁囃子とともに回り踊る
“エレクトロニコス・ファンタスティコス！”

Gather and get together, you delightful people, frothing over with wild fancies.
Go on and get moving, technologies fall asleep.
At dawn, guided by a faint call, wandering to discover,
All day long, gathering to create a magnetic field, and first cry rises.
Evening, electric current flows through the river of time and space,
the electromagnetical parade begins.
When the light of the CRT flickers, and invisible electromagnetic waves let loose into the sky
Ghosts summon yet other ghosts, forming a parade, marching forth through the wilderness
Go ahead, go ahead, electricity, go ahead
Where does this path lead? This path leads to the Tenjin shrine
Though we are scared, please let us through.
The moon is finally appearing, the orchestra float begins to move.
People dance to the accompaniment of everlasting electromagnetic music,
“ELECTRONICOS FANTASTICOS!”
