才能と努力/Talent And Effort

 先日、神田沙也加さんの訃報を聞いた時、原因が何かはわからねど、あの歌声、表現力の持ち主が亡くなってしまったのだと瞬時に思いました。

 血筋としてはサラブレッド。あの歌声は、生まれ持った天性のものはあるでしょう。でも、抜きん出た表現力を持つ彼女は、確実にものすごく努力をしてきたはずです。

 悲しい出来事ですが、彼女が生きた時間、どれだけのことを成し遂げ、どれだけの人を楽しませてきたかということに焦点を当てたいと思います。

 わたしは、特にアナ役での歌声に感動しました。あんなに可愛らしい役柄の声のまま伸びやかに歌う彼女。歌の中でも表情がくっきりと見える気がしました。彼女ほどの力があれば、二世だとか全く関係のないところで選ばれているはず。今まで、たくさんの歌声をありがとうございます。どうか、安らかにお眠りください。

When I heard about Sayaka Kanda passed away, my immediate thought was that the singer with the voice and expression was gone without knowing why she passed.

She has great entertainers as her parents. Her voice was surely inherited from her mother, but her great power of expression was built as she made so much effort. 

It's sad news, but I'd like to focus on the time she lived to achieve what and how many people she entertained.

I was moved by her singing in Frozen. She acted as the cute and innocent prince Anna, and sung so beautifully as the character. I can see the facial expressions in her singing. She had been selected for her own talent, not that she was the daughter of the famous singer in Japan. Thank you for moving us with your voice. RIP.
