2017年 第21作 『から紅の恋歌（ラブレター）』
テレビ局の爆破事件をきっかけに、コナンと平次は
百人一首にまつわる連続事件を追います。京都を舞台に真相へ迫る一方
平次の婚約者を名乗る女性が現れ、和葉との恋も大きく揺れ動きます
映画に関係する「百人一首」は100人の歌人の和歌を集めた古典で
「競技かるた」はその札を素早く取り合う日本の伝統競技です
映画を見ればお分かりですが、同じものを奪い合うという
激しい接触プレーもあったりするので
私は一生やらないと思います（汗）
バスケとかも無理なんで・・・
最初、紅葉さんが登場した時、コナン映画にしては
性格悪そうなの出てきたな〜（笑）と若干引いていたのですが
なかなかどうして、自分の気持ちに真っ直ぐなお嬢様でした
平次をめぐっての和葉との掛け合いが
京言葉特有の嫌味皮肉のある言い回しだったので
でぜひ皆さんに紹介したく
「紅葉に学ぶ（⁈）京言葉」コーナーを設けました♬
京言葉は、京都という狭い街で敵を作らず
平和に暮らすための古くからの知恵として
発達した遠回しな言い方です
和葉に向かって
「いうたら平次くんと一緒にいてはりましたけど
いったいどないな関係なんやろ」
「小さい時からいつも一緒で…」と口ごもる和葉に
「幼馴染で恋愛ごっこ。ホンマなごみますわ〜」
…この、笑顔で刺してくる感じ！これですよ！
多分、紅葉の本音は
「あら、まだそんな関係なんやねぇ〜
幼稚すぎて、相手にもならへんわぁ」くらいですかね
紅葉が去った後、歩美ちゃんの
「スゴイの見ちゃったね〜」がナイスでした♪
もちろん実際の京都人が必ず裏の意味で使うわけではありませんが
カドを立てずに本心を伝え、言われた側も
察するのが粋、とされているようです
私は関東在住なので実体験としてはよく知らないのですけど…
言葉は柔らかいのに、内容は全然柔らかくない♪
それではどんな言葉にどんな意味が隠されているのか
みていきましょう♬
◇意見を言う
楽しそうやね〜 → うるさいわ
遠いところから来てはりますなぁ → 田舎者
しっかりしてはる → がめついヤツだな〜
ハッキリしてますなぁ〜 → 態度がデカいんとちゃう？
考え方がお若いですなぁ → 浅はか 世間知らず
仕事が手早くて羨ましいわ → 大雑把で雑
丁寧な仕事してはりますなぁ → 遅いわ！
◇要求する
元気なお子さんやねぇ→ 静かにさせてや
よう知ってますなぁ→ ウンチクたれるな 黙っとれ
いい時計してはりますなぁ→ 話が長いで そろそろ帰ったら？
美味しそうに食べはりますね→ クチャクチャ音立てるなや
後から誰か来はりますの？→ ドア閉めて
これはThreadsの投稿なのですが
「京都人怖すぎる」というコメントとともに紹介されていました
『とてもおいしかったです。次はレインコートを着て来店しようと思います』
以前、『真に受けてはいけない日本語』という記事を書きましたが
難易度、ダーク度はこっちの方が上です
日本人の私でも、相手の目が笑ってるかどうかで
裏の意味か表の意味か判断するしか術はないかも…
結局、幼い時の平次のプロポーズは
紅葉の聞き違いだったというオチなのですが…
「（札を）強めに取ったる」が
「（つ）嫁にとったる」って、博士のダジャレクイズ並の
ズッコケぶりでした。これぞ先日記事にした誤変換！
しかも運命を変えるレベルです！
それでも平次を諦めない紅葉お嬢様♡
コナンの登場人物では、好きなのに素直になれない連中ばっかりの中
欲しいものを正々堂々取りに行く姿勢が素敵です！
平次はまたしても告白失敗していましたけど（涙）
映画は基本的に1話で完結しつつも、キャラクターの関係は
１ミリずつ前進している模様
新一はすでにロンドンで蘭に告白していますが
蘭からの返事は6年たってもまだ（汗）
平次も告白できるまで何年かかるんだろう…
2017 – The 21st Detective Conan Movie: The Crimson Love Letter
Following a bombing at a TV station, Conan and Heiji investigate a series of crimes connected to Hyakunin Isshu, a collection of 100 classical Japanese poems. As they get closer to the truth in Kyoto, a woman appears claiming to be Heiji’s fiancée, throwing his relationship with Kazuha into turmoil.
The Hyakunin Isshu featured in the movie is a classic collection of poems by 100 different poets. Competitive karuta is a traditional Japanese card game in which players compete to grab the correct cards as quickly as possible.
As you’ll see in the movie, it can get pretty intense, with players even making physical contact as they fight over the same card.
So, I’m pretty sure I’ll never play it in my entire life.
I can’t even handle basketball, either…
When Momiji first appeared, I thought, “Wow, Detective Conan has really brought out someone who seems kind of mean this time!” (lol) I was slightly put off by her.
But as it turned out, she was actually a young lady who was refreshingly honest about her feelings.
The exchanges between Momiji and Kazuha over Heiji are full of the indirect, sometimes sarcastic expressions characteristic of Kyoto speech, so I decided to add a little feature to introduce some of them:
“Learning Kyoto Speech from Momiji” (?!)
Kyoto speech developed as a long-standing way of avoiding conflict and living peacefully in a small, close-knit city. Rather than saying something directly, people could express their true feelings indirectly, leaving the listener to read between the lines.
When Momiji asks Kazuha about her relationship with Heiji:
“So, you’ve been spending time with Heiji, but I wonder what exactly your relationship is?”
Kazuha starts to explain:
“We’ve always been together since we were little…”
Momiji replies with a smile:
“Childhood friends playing at romance. How adorable.”
That smile while delivering the perfect little stab! This is exactly what I mean!
What Momiji probably really means is something like:
“Oh, so you’re still at that stage? How childish. You’re not even competition for me.”
After Momiji leaves, Ayumi’s reaction is perfect:
“Wow… We just saw something amazing!”
Of course, this doesn’t mean that people in Kyoto always use these expressions to convey a hidden meaning.
However, it seems to be considered a refined way of communicating your true feelings without causing offense, while the person listening is expected to pick up on what is being implied.
I live in the Kanto region, so I don’t have much first-hand experience with this myself…
The words may sound gentle, but the meaning behind them can be anything but gentle! ♪
So, let’s take a look at some Kyoto expressions and the hidden meanings they can carry. ♬
◇ Giving Your Opinion
「楽しそうやね〜」
→ “You seem to be having fun.” → “You’re so noisy.”
「遠いところから来てはりますなぁ」
→ “You’ve come from quite a long way.” → “You’re such a country bumpkin.”
「しっかりしてはる」
→ “You’re quite a capable person.” → “You’re so greedy.”
「ハッキリしてますなぁ〜」
→ “You’re very straightforward.” → “Aren’t you being a little too pushy?”
「考え方がお若いですなぁ」
→ “You have such a youthful way of thinking.” → “You’re naïve and inexperienced.”
「仕事が手早くて羨ましいわ」
→ “I envy how quickly you get your work done.” → “You’re rather careless and sloppy.”
「丁寧な仕事してはりますなぁ」
→ “You do such careful work.” → “You’re taking forever!”
◇ Making Requests
「元気なお子さんやねぇ」
→ “What an energetic child you have.” → “Could you please get your child to be quiet?”
「よう知ってますなぁ」
→ “You certainly know a lot.” → “Enough with the lectures. Just be quiet.”
「いい時計してはりますなぁ」
→ “That’s a lovely watch you’re wearing.” → “This conversation is getting rather long. Perhaps it’s time for you to go home?”
「美味しそうに食べはりますね」
→ “You certainly seem to be enjoying your food.” → “Could you please stop making those chewing noises?”
「後から誰か来はりますの？」
→ “Is someone else coming later?” → “Please close the door.”
This was a post I came across on Threads, introduced with the comment, “Kyoto people are scary!”
A 20-year-old man wrote the following on a restaurant feedback form after a staff member spilled water on him:
“It was very delicious. Next time, I think I’ll wear a raincoat when I come here.”
Apparently, this is the result of receiving an elite education in how to be a Kyoto native!
I previously wrote an article called “Japanese Expressions You Shouldn’t Take Literally,” but I think this one is even more advanced—and much darker!
Even as a Japanese person, I might have no choice but to judge whether someone means what they are saying literally or has a hidden meaning by looking at whether their eyes are smiling…
In the end, it turns out that the marriage proposal Heiji made when they were children was simply something Momiji misheard.
Heiji had said, “I’ll grab the card more aggressively,” but Momiji heard it as, “I’ll take you as my bride.”
That level of misunderstanding is almost like one of Professor Agasa’s corny wordplay quizzes!
And this is exactly the kind of wordplay I wrote about in my recent article on Funny Conversion Mistakes.
Except this one is powerful enough to change the course of someone’s life!
And yet, Momiji still refuses to give up on Heiji. ♡
Among all the Detective Conan characters, so many are terrible at being honest about their feelings. That’s why I actually admire Momiji’s attitude of going after what she wants openly and unapologetically!
Heiji failed to confess his feelings yet again. (Sigh…)
While each movie basically tells a complete story, it seems the characters’ relationships are slowly moving forward, just one tiny step at a time.
Shinichi has already confessed his feelings to Ran in London, but six years later, Ran still hasn’t given him an answer. (Seriously…)
I wonder how many years it’s going to take Heiji to finally get his confession out!
