あなたの心に笑顔や幸せの種を植えたい。島谷ひとみが立ち上げた「うれしいことを探そう!プロジェクト」とは…。

約2ヶ月に及ぶ#STAYHOME期間を経て、ようやく日常が取り戻されつつある。だが、今も全国各地の病院では、大勢の医療従事者たちが"日常を取り戻すため"に奮闘し続けている。
自粛期間を自宅で過ごしていた島谷ひとみも、当たり前の生活を取り戻すため、休日返上で日夜戦い続けている医療従事者たちの姿に感銘を受け、少しでもエールを送りたい気持ちをずっと持ち続けていた。でも、当時は自宅から出るのは難しい環境…。そこで彼女が取った行動が、「今、この場所(STAY HOME)から、歌声を通して想いを届けよう」ということだった。

それまで、すべての仕事がキャンセルになり、みずからの音楽活動の術も失っていた島谷ひとみだったが、「どんな形であろうと、歌声さえ届けば、その音楽は人々の心の力になる」想いから、一つのプロジェクトを立ち上げた。それが「うれしいことを探そう!プロジェクト」になる。
彼女は、医療従事者はもちろん、心に閉塞感を覚えている人たちのもとに歌を届け、少しでも「うれしいな」と前を向く力になれればとの想いから、自分自身が歌うたびに「小さな喜びや幸せを覚え」てきた「うれしいこと」を選曲。彼女の音楽仲間たちに「それぞれの自宅から、一緒にこの歌を届けませんか」とリモート録音を呼びかけた。その想いに島谷ひとみを含めた20人の表現者たちが賛同。それが、以下のメンバーたちだった。

島谷ひとみ、m.c.A・T(Vo)、伊丹谷良介(Vo)、井出泰彰(Pf)、HIPPY(Vo)、今井マサキ(cho)、芋洗坂係長(dance)、菊地圭介 (Key)、睦 (cho)、秋元直也(Gt)、梶原健生(Gt)、佐原陽(Gt)、天野恵(Vn)、林綾子 (Ob)、稲田一朗 (Dr)、小林香織(Dr)、YoYo the "Pianoman" (SOFFet) (Pf)、JB (Dr)、浜崎 賢太(Bs)、Qurata (Bs)。

今回のプロジェクトの経緯について、島谷ひとみが言葉を寄せてくれたので紹介したい。

「新型コロナウィルスの影響により、わたしたちアーティストもすべての仕事を失い、ひたすら自宅待機という時期を過ごしてきました。そんな中で、いつも「今のわたしにできることは何か?」を模索し続けていました。
わたしは今年で活動21年目を迎えました。過去にも、いろんな災害による困難を乗り越え、その都度「音楽家として何が出来るのか」を考えては、実践し続けてきた経験もありますし、その都度「音楽に心を励まされ、それを力や糧に困難から立ち上がってきた人たち」の姿を見てきました。何より、わたし自身が、その姿を見るたびに「音楽を通し、わたし自身も心を励まされ、音楽の力に救われて」きました。
今は、リモートというスタイルを取れば、自宅にいながらでも歌声を、音楽を届けることは出来ます。それに改めて気づいたことから立ち上げたのが、STAY HOMEしながらでも想いを届けられる今回のプロジェクトでした。
心にエールを届ける術として「うれしいこと」という楽曲を選んだ理由は、わたし自身が「この曲を歌うたびに喜びや光を心に覚えれば、その気持ちにわたし自身が支えられてきたし、この歌を聴いた人たちから「嬉しい」「幸せな気持ちになれる」と言ってもらえることで、ふたたびわたし自身の心の糧にもなってきたからです。その気持ちを、みんなにも感じてもらいたい。その想いもあって、「うれしいこと」をみんなで歌い演奏し、少しでも心に閉塞感を覚えている人たちの気持ちに「嬉しい」や「楽しい」という喜びを届けたくて、この曲を選びました。

リモート録音をした様子を、すぐに2本の作品に映像化。YouTubeにアップしたところ、その映像を観た人たちから「嬉し涙が零れてきた」「いろんな心のロスから開放された」「頑張る気持ちをもらえました」など、島谷ひとみの元にも様々な感想の声が寄せられだした。その言葉が、想いを届けた島谷ひとみを筆頭にした、「うれしいことを探そう!プロジェクト」に参加した人たちの「心の励みや、自分たちも前へ進み続けるためのエールにも変わってきた」と、島谷ひとみは報告してくれた。

2本の映像中、後半の1本は、手話を用いたダンスを踊る芋洗坂係長の映像を中心に据えた内容で制作。これは、みなさんにも振り付けを覚えていただき、何時か、その振りをしながら「うれしいこと」を一緒に歌いたい想いから誕生したもの。

島谷ひとみは、7月4日よりスタート予定で「HITOMI SHIMATANI Concert Tour 2020 "haute couture"」の開催のために今、準備を行っている。みずから「KEEP DISTANCE LIVE」と名付けたように、いわゆるソーシャルディスタンスなどウィルス対策を徹底して施した形でのライブになる。これも、島谷ひとみなりの、日常に音楽があふれる生活を取り戻すための一つの挑戦。今の時代に即した音楽の届け方の新たな実践スタイル。
そこでも彼女はきっと、訪れた人たちと一緒に「うれしいこと」を一緒に振り付きで歌ってくれるだろう。

音楽は、人々の心から鳴り止むことはない。何時だって、届けたい人が音楽を発信し続ける限り、想いの電波は人々の心に響き、かならず「幸せ」や「喜び」というチューニングを合わせ、「笑顔」を浮かべてくれるはず。その想いを胸に今、島谷ひとみは動き出している。もちろん、「うれしいことを探そう!プロジェクト」は今回に限らず、これからも、音楽を通し「うれしい」を分かち合えるため、さまざまな形を持って届けられる。だからこそ今、島谷ひとみの動きに注目したい。

「うれしいことを探そう!プロジェクト」とは

有名アーティストでつなぐ希望と感謝のメロディー♪
医療従事者の皆さん!本当にありがとう!
みんなで頑張ろう!をテーマに有志で集まった素敵なアーティスト達♫

島谷ひとみの呼びかけで集まった「音楽な人たち」が、医療従事者の皆さんへの感謝の気持ち、このウイルスで苦しんでいる方々、新型コロナウイルスの影響で平穏な日常が過ごせなくなった方々に向けて「うれしいことを探そうプロジェクト」を発足させた。

日常の小さな「うれしいこと」を探すことで前向きになれる気がする。
そんな些細なことが明日への勇気に変わる。
みんなでこの厳しい状況を守り切ろう!
