■“I feel like Mrs. GREEN APPLE somehow understood the feelings I felt at the beginning and wrote the song for me.” (Original author, Hikaru Nakamura)
An illustration making video drawn by Hikaru Nakamura, the original author of “Saint Onii-san”, using Mrs. GREEN APPLE’s “Bitter Vacation” has been released.
“Bitter Vacation” is a song written by Mrs. GREEN APPLE as the theme song for the movie “Saint Onisan THE MOVIE ~Holy Men VS Demon Corps~”. The song’s message, “You should just take a break,” has been trending on social media for a long time. This message, written by Motoki Omori, who was in charge of the lyrics and music, was sent not only to the overworked people of today, but also to Jesus and Buddha, who have worked too hard to overcome the end of the century. It has resonated with the hearts of many people who work on a daily basis, with comments such as “I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders.”
This video, titled “Illustration Making Video ~Illustration Movie You Should Take a Rest~”, is about “Labor Appreciation Day (November 23rd)”, which is a time to thank all working people, including Gods, Buddhas, demons, and humans. It was released in conjunction with “Ii Oniisan’s Day (23rd),” when the latest information about this work is released every month.
The special illustration drawn by the original author Hikaru Nakamura for this day depicts Jesus and Buddha relaxing on a sofa, and the theme songs “Bitter” and “Vacance” are written on their jerseys. are. The extremely relaxed look of the two, listening to the music playing from the green apple displayed on the table in the middle, was also impressive. You can’t take your eyes off Nakamura’s delicate touch as Jesus and Buddha gradually come to life.
■Original author: Hikaru Nakamura comment
Originally, I love Jesus and Buddha. But these two have been through so much, and it seems like they’re going through a lot of trouble, so I want them to take a break…That’s how I started writing the story. I wonder if Mrs. GREEN APPLE somehow understood the feelings I felt at the beginning and wrote the song for me. I was moved by the lyrics, “You should rest.” I think it’s a great theme song, with a message to Jesus and Buddha as its theme!
