ユーフォニアムオタク達、推しへの愛が重すぎて「夕方には誰もいない街」を街ぐるみの巨大聖地にしてしまうｗｗ

Uji City, Kyoto Prefecture. Despite being a famous tourist destination known for its World Heritage site, Byodo-in Temple, and Uji tea, it was somehow called a "town that people just pass through." Even with 5 million tourists visiting annually, 70% of them return to Kyoto City by evening. The fate of Uji is changed by an anime and the feelings of those who deeply loved it. The writer of the original story, the animators, those who worked to protect the town, and the fans who visited on pilgrimage. This is more than just a "pilgrimage to a sacred site"—we follow this miraculous story spanning nine years with Zundamon. ■Sound! Euphonium Trivia 〇The euphonium was invented in Germany in 1843: In fact, this instrument was invented in Weimar, Germany in 1843. The prototype was the "Sonmellophone," devised by bandmaster Ferdinand Sommer as his own personal solo instrument. The following year, in 1844, Franz Bock and Ferdinand Hell of Vienna each created improved versions, and in April, they obtained invention privileges. The name originates from the Greek words "eu" (good) and "phonos" (sound), meaning "something that sounds good," and this meaning has remained the name of the instrument to this day. 〇Ayano Takeda's debut work wasn't "wind band": In 2012, while a first-year student in the Department of Aesthetics and Art Studies at Doshisha University's Faculty of Letters, author Ayano Takeda submitted a novel to the 8th Japan Love Story Award (sponsored by Takarajimasha). That novel was "Today, I Breathe with You," set in a high school art club. It was selected as a "hidden gem" in the final selection and published by Takarajimasha Bunko in May 2013. Therefore, "Sound! Euphonium" is not her debut work, but her "second work." It was in this second work that she poured her memories of the heavy rain in Uji into the story. 〇 The model for "Kitauji High School" is the real-life Kyoto Prefectural Todō High School: The model for Kitauji High School in the story is Kyoto Prefectural Todō High School. It is a prefectural high school located in Gokasho Gounmine, Uji City, which opened in April 1985. The school building, as seen from the school gate, is so accurately reproduced that it is said "it wouldn't be surprising if a character appeared at any moment." In October 2018, it became a topic of conversation when the author, Ayano Takeda, herself visited the school. However, please note that it is a school attended by current students and is not open to the public as a pilgrimage spot. 〇 "Mikazuki no Mai" is a song written exclusively for the anime version: "Mikazuki no Mai" is a famous song that Kitauji High School performs as their free choice piece at the national competition in the story. Actually, this is an original song specially written for the TV anime version by Akito Matsuda (credited as composer Namie Horikawa) for the anime adaptation. In the original novel, it appears as a "required piece" for the competition, but in the TV version, it was replaced with the actual required piece from 2015, "Wind of Provence," and this new song was placed in the position of the free choice piece. The highly difficult trumpet solo and the driving bass are the highlights. ■References The following sites were used as reference materials. ・Sound!
