アナログの音色｜Amalog Tone

中学の時に買ったビートルズのレコードを聴いた。中学・高校とレコード世代で、レンタルレコード屋さんに通ったり、友達と貸し借りしたのが懐かしい。プログレ、クラシック、テクノなどさまざまな曲を聴いた。そのうちレコードはCDに代わり、デジタルの音のクリアさに驚いた。アナログの音が古臭くもたっとした音に聞こえた。あれから数十年、久しぶりのアナログの音は人っぽい暖かみさえ感じるではないか。デジタルが化学調味料に思えてしまう。やっぱりアナログだなぁと思いつつ、ボクの耳が本当に聴き分けられているかどうかはわからないけど。（絵と文：サカキテツ朗）

I listened to the Beatles records I bought at junior high school. When I was in junior high school and high school, which is the record generation, I remember going to rental record shops and lending and borrowing records with friends. I listened to a variety of songs, including progressive rock, classical, and techno. Records were soon replaced by CDs, and I was surprised at the clarity of the digital sound. The analog sound sounded old-fashioned and dull. It's been decades since then, and the analog sound that I haven't seen in a long time has a human-like warmth to it. Digital seems like a chemical seasoning. I think analog is the best, but I don't know if my ears can really tell the difference. -Text and illustration by Ted Sakaki
