This is one of my favorite Jazz movies! I'm glad to see the Japanese do an excellent portrayal of Jazz musicians. And also a great movie of normal everyday girls who overcome their obstacles and make music. Such a great film!
I love all these girls and it seems like I know them. I have the DVD and they bring great joy to us and we appreciate your hard work and thank you all.
Thank you for posting these videos. I am American and love this music. Those girls are amazing. I am sure all of Japan is proud of them. They are wonderful !
Exceptionally delightful, touching, and enjoyable 2004 film co-written and directed by Shinobu Yaguchi.....these girls did play the instruments, and had nothing but the ususual exposure to music as students growing up who took piano lessons, etc. Of course, being a film, there was plenty of chance to fix any errors in the live performance, but this was not a group of professional musicians by any means. Creativity, Love and Exuberance equals solid win.
Very impressive, especially when you know they played all songs in the movie by themselves! Okay, they practiced ~5 months, but still very very good...I'm currently going to school in japan and japanese seem to be so talented in may things! I like this movie, I got new faith for practicing on my own instrument trough this.
I visited Japan in '68; was super impressed. My favorite city was by far Kyoto. I was treated like a rock star or movie star and of course I was not. Honesty was the rule of the day then and I hope now. They worked hard and played hard. They will do anything for a friend or just to help a person in need of help. I found a girl I liked in Kyoto and wanted to go back but lost here photos and cannot remember the spelling of here name. I have dreamed about her for over 40 years. Go "SWING GIRLS!"
Wow, if people want to mention their favorite actresses in this movie, Yuika Motokariya is seldom mentioned. I'm glad you did. Honestly, my favorite is Shihori Kanjiya (I have a crush on her). But almost every main character has a loveable characteristic. Tomoko's lightheartedness. Yoshie's lovestruck and vanity. Naomi's dry humour. Kaori's ever optimism. Nakamura's strength of character. Not to mention the punk girl's interest to try jazz too. Simply a great movie. I wish to see them in person.
The Japanese have taken the best of American culture to heart and, to their credit, ignored the rest. Swing music is one of our best cultural innovations. When the rock-n-roll Fifities and Sixties rolled in and jazz was side-lined, jazz performers like Anita O'Day found eager audiences in Japan.
I think they're actually playing, I watched it in my Japanese class and I think my teacher said that they were actually playing. Lots of hot asian chicks in that jazz band :D
That's interesting to know. I think I also read about this somewhere as well. I love the fact that the director wanted the girls' success to carry to the audience. That is fantastic. I would love to see one of their live performances.
I'm happy to learn that the girls shown in the movie are actually players of their instruments. But in popular music movies/videos, the sound track is seldom produced as it is enacted by the actors. I readily believe that Ueno Jyuri can play, and in fact DID play what we hear. But, as a saxophonist myself (musicians notice these things) she is not fingering in synchronization with what we hear. She is "lip-synching" her own solo (which was recorded earlier.) There is no shame in that.
Only the core four (Tenor, Drums, Trombone and trumpet) stuck with the band and had to buy used instruments with their little money. The others kept their jobs at the market until they heard the improved band, then sold their designer clothes for new instruments. Again, see the movie.
@ingraleat - Excellent point Ingraleat. I remember reading about that too. It just makes the film even more beautiful. I'd love to see them play it live.
@JazzyZenBrotha Might I add on, @benjamintrb, that the entire cast had almost no musical background when they started filming the movie. They took six months of practise, training and pure hard work to make this movie a hit success. After which they even went on tour to play their music live. Thumbs up for the Japanese :)
Same with lots of trumpets and trombones. Some people think that the tone of the instrument is more dependent upon the presence or lack of lacquer on the metal than the skill/embouchure/physiology of the musician. Those who profess to desire the "purest" tone eschew lacquer -- that way, everyone knows that they are the "true" musicians who, of course, are "the best". Hogwash.
@RadioOperator01 - Have you watched this movie? You stated that you bumped into this while listening to the original "sing sing sing" by Benny Goodman. I mentioned that this is a good Swing/Jazz film because it was made by a Japanese director & they do a pretty good portrayal. Also since international films are never given respect & are ALWAYS over looked (in the USA), I think it's a GOOD THING to mention this film & being a respectable entry into Jazz filmography
皆さんご存知だと思いますが、この映画の演奏シーンは全て吹き替え無し！ご本人が直接演奏してるのです。それが感動を呼びますねぇ。このシーンの前の曲「ムーンライト・セレナーデ」も。
2020年 また聴いてます🎵
皆カッコいい😍💕
映画も面白かったしまた観たくなってきたな～♪
ラストの彼女たちの達成感あふれる表情！
それを見て、
「ああ、本当にこの子たちが演奏したんだなぁ。」
と、思いました。
これ全員マジで演奏してるって知った時、驚愕した。凄すぎる！
たった４ヶ月で、どんだけ練習したらこのレベルの演奏ができるんだ。人間の集中力は恐ろしい！
ずぶの素人から「シング・シング・シング」を物にするのは、大変だったでしょう。樹里ちゃん、ユイカちゃん、しほりちゃんもまだあどけないですね。現在グラビアをセクシーに彩る、辰己奈都子さんもいます。そういう意味では、みんなこの映画が出発点だったんですねぇ。

何回もこの動画みてるせいで
メロディ口ずさみながら途中途中出てくる 先生！！ とかのセリフもしっかり言っちゃうw
this has become one of my favorite movies very talented
I love all these girls and it seems like I know them. I have the DVD and they bring great joy to us and we appreciate your hard work and thank you all.
ドラムのテンポの変え方めっちゃ上手くないか...？
一曲目から二曲目にうつる時のドラムめちゃくちゃかっこよくて好き
テナーとトロンボーンとトランペット🎺かっこいい
Man, if these girls are playing for real, they're the best big band going right now!! Not only are they talented, they're beautiful.
Thank you for posting these videos. I am American and love this music. Those girls are amazing. I am sure all of Japan is proud of them. They are wonderful !
Without hesitation I love you all, such great expression with the instruments.
トランペットのソロ何回見ても鳥肌でるほどかっこいい！！
あの高音はなかなか出ませんよね
ひとりひとりが努力家の強者揃い
何が素晴らしいかは、貫地谷しほりの顔が物語っている。
High B♭は素晴らしい！
映画のために楽器の練習してから１０年…
もう全員で演奏することはないでしょうね、残念ですが
一番かっちょいいわ ソロの部分とか特に
3、4ヶ月でこのレベルのソロ吹けるとか化け物揃いだな…
このスイングガールズバージョンを正確にコピーした高校生バンドをいまだ知らない
この３曲メドレーを正確にコピーすれば、どこへいっても大うけ、拍手喝さいのはずなんだが
ジャズのソロはどうしてもオリジナルって概念ですからねー
完コピでも素晴らしいのに

WOW, these kids are not only very pretty but their music is great. Love the twirling of the trumpets.
5:29 そして吹奏楽部の部長は何気に若き日の高橋一生。
この時はこんなにキャーキャー言われると思ってなかったな…
"sing, sing, sing" is my third favorite swing. "In the mood" is my second and "A train" is the coolest of them all.
なんだろう…目から汗が出るじゃねぇか(これが青春か…)

Their has Never been a more talented Swing Band outside America!
本当にやったんだからすごい
The great thing is, all the girls in the band, learned to play their instruments!
I love the guy who plays the sensei on this movie! He also played the role of the trainer in Waterboys. Great movie Swing Girls
I started playin the trumpet cuz of this movie! and watta ya know, im first chair in the highschool band!
Louis Prima would be PROUD. He wrote the song Sing, Sing , Sing which is played here in 1936 in America. The girls did a great job. ;)
awesome. i have always loved this song.
トランペットのソロ最高です！
JAZZやるべ（笑）
Tenor saxophones are amazing! I happen to play one myself. I wanna watch this movie so bad!
トランペットやってました。貫地谷さんすごい！
Not only good music but this movie also be a true inspiration for people
中一で、ｔｂやってます!!
初めてこれを見たとき、感動して、泣いてしまいました(笑)
いま、文化祭にむけて、猛練習中です(＠ ＠）
これきりでなく続けてほしいな。
楽器は素晴らしいよ

本仮屋ユイカちゃん可愛い💕クラリネット担ですがトロンボーンかっこいい💕
今観ても感動する映画です
吹き替えなしで彼女たち(＆彼)の生音にこだわったところがすごいし
山形県内での合宿も大変だっただろうし
方言の練習と楽器の練習と両方とも本当に苦労したと思います
しかしTpのHighBは数か月の練習で中々出ないでしょうによく出たなと感心します

Really great! This is the first time I've ever heard of this film,
but I'm sure it won't be the last.
OMG, I am so impressed... Now I like the movie even more.
同じく鳥肌立ったｗｗ
特にトロンボーンのソロのところ(ﾟωﾟ)

Tbソロ最高！
もう鳥肌やばす(*´∀｀*)
短期間でこんなにできるようになるとかネ申！
貫地谷しほりちゃんのラッパのソロ聞いてラッパ大好きになって
吹奏楽はじめたwww
I love this movie ! Haha ! It really made me know more about music around the world. Let's Swing ! Haha :D

SGコンサートでトロンボーンの本仮屋ユイカちゃんだけ欠席してたのが今だに悔やまれる！
しかもそのコンサートを欠席してまでも取り組んだ朝ドラ「ファイト」もほぼほぼ評判にならず・・・その後は2時間ドラマの準主役あたりが定席の平凡な女優さんになっちゃいましたとさ・・

とは言え、朝ドラスタッフの本仮屋ユイカLOVEは、第一回目の初登場のところに、にじみ出てましたね。本仮屋ユイカをアイドルにしたいんだ俺たちは！って感じがｗ

でしたっけね。一応DVDに全話焼いてますのでまた確認してみます。
あとそれ以上に「ただの岡部」こと三浦春馬くんの変貌ぶりに唖然とさせられる昨今ｗｗ
14 people don't appreciate how good these women are.
my favorite movie!!
Only the core four (Tenor, Drums, Trombone and trumpet) stuck with the band and had to buy used instruments with their little money. The others kept their jobs at the market until they heard the improved band, then sold their designer clothes for new instruments. Again, see the movie.
Very Good!Excepctional talent!Bravo!

The movie kickt ass

Oh ! GOD , Unbelievable they are excellent performed ( So , They are really Gorgeously )
terrific performance! they are a very good orchestra.
this is the best thing ever i played that trombone solo and she did like 1000 times better than i did
Bouken Yellow Can do Swing Jazz 😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲 Wowwww Sugoiiiiiii 💖💖💖💖💖💖💗💖💖

ムーンライトセレナーデ消えてる…
この流れでのエンディング曲
ナットキングコールの『ラブ』
も最高でした❤❤
Same with lots of trumpets and trombones.

The beginning of the trombone solo reminded me of "Ring, ring, ring, ring banana phone." =P
wow that trumpet swing flash was so cool
When I was flying back from Japan on ANA this was one filmed they featured. I must have pplayed this seen a dozen time or more. Great film.
I enjoyed every minute of this video!
あらためて あの頃の 感動 甦りました。フジテレビさん 全編ノーカットで 再放送 お願いします。
These girls are beyond the level of my highschool any day of the week

H yama 部長？
O_O

woot. this makes the movie even more awesome.
...日本映画界の（名作）です！監督のお話も伺いましたが，正しくあなたの（センス）そのものです...。
この本番撮りの前めちゃくちゃ緊張している上野に監督が「演奏会じゃないんだから。映画なんだから」と言ってる動画あったけど、はて？どういう意味なんだろう？？
樹里ちゃん❤❤かわいいなぁ😎😍💘💕❤💓💜
lol, i totaly agree with you. her trombone solo was my favourite part too. damn there's just something about cute japanese girls with glasses.....sigh
I LOVE THIS MOVIE!!!!
I like this movie.
@vonKyle777
The number is not an example of jazz. It Is swing -- the most popular music form in American from approximately 1935 to 1955.
Outstanding WOW fantastic
@OsannaInExcelsis And they also have pretty good showmanship, too which is nice to see since the rarity of big bands kinda makes you miss it a lot
