4.5Musicとは/What is 4.5Music?
4.5Music(ヨンテンゴミュージック)の名前の由来は”4.5畳の部屋から作りだされる音楽”という意味で聖書的な深い意味はありません。楽曲をディストリビューターに登録する際にアーティスト名が必要で、2017年に仮でつけた名前を現在もそのまま使っています。名前には深い意味はありませんが、カバーする曲、作る曲の歌詞はできるだけ神の計画、働き、性質について知ることができる楽曲制作を目指しています。もしかすると4.5Musicでカバーしている楽曲(主に伝統的な讃美歌)やオリジナルの賛美は歌詞が長すぎて覚えづらいという側面があるかもしれません。私たちは短く覚えやすいキャッチーな賛美も好きですが、4.5Musicの役割は神はどんな方で何をされたのかということに焦点を当てた賛美をできるだけ多く届けるということを目指しています。 The name 4.5Music (Yontengo Music) does not have a deep biblical meaning, as it means “music created from a room of 4.5 tatami mats. When registering a song with a distributor, an artist’s name is required, and we are using the name that we gave temporarily in 2017. Although the name has no deep meaning, we aim to make the lyrics of the songs we cover and create as in-depth about God as possible. Perhaps the songs we cover on 4.5Music (mainly traditional hymns) or original worship songs have aspects of lyrics that are too long and hard to remember. We like catchy hymns that are short and easy to remember, but we accept the role of 4.5Music as our mission to deliver hymns with a strong focus on “the nature of God” and “the work of God. Although we are going against the trend of today’s music where short, catchy, and easy-to-listen-to songs are in vogue, we would like to continue to praise God’s greatness boldly while trying not to make our songs too long, as one of the various types of praise songs.
