ZKSVBLOG VOL,6(Oslo,Norway篇)

皆さん随分お久しぶりとなります、IMMRです。ヨーロッパチャプターの記事を書き始めた頃は、当然ながらヨーロッパに居て、旅をしながらメンバーの様子をお届け出来たらいいなと思いつつ、わたしを含むスタッフも慣れない土地にてそれはそれで大変な思いをしつつ、それでもなんとか…と思っていましたが、そこにメイとこもちの離脱という部分が重なって、書きたくとも誰かを傷つけてしまう可能性を考慮して書けずにいました…

It’s been quite a long while, everyone. This is IMMR.

Back when I first started writing the Europe Chapter articles, I was, of course, still in Europe. While traveling from place to place, I hoped I could share glimpses of the members and our journey with you all. At the same time, both the members and staff, myself included, were struggling through the challenges of unfamiliar countries and environments, somehow trying to keep everything together as best we could.

But then, the departures of Mei and Komochi overlapped with all of that. And because I was worried that writing openly at the time might unintentionally hurt someone, I found myself unable to continue writing, even though I wanted to.

この件についてはまた後日タイミングにて皆さんに状況と情報をお届け出来ると思いますのでもうしばらくお待ちくださると幸いです。

As for this matter, I believe there will be a proper time in the future when I can share the situation and details with everyone. I would sincerely appreciate it if you could wait just a little longer.

現在5月末、ここまでお時間を頂いてしまいましたが折角撮った写真や皆の状況などもありますので、切り替えて記事を書いていければと思います！「もうだいぶ月日も経っているから書かなくてもいいよ…」と思われるかもしれませんが、これは来年(2027)に行われる、ぜんぶ君のせいだ。WORLD TOURの際、もしかしたらこれを見ている世界の誰かのために、ほんの少しでも情報や、見たもの、シェア出来るもの、メンバーの様子などが伝わって、「あ、これだったら行ってみたいな」とかそー思ってもらえる可能性があるかもしれないという一点にて頑張りたいと思います。では、ノルウェー篇(纏まればまとめてしまいますが)、再開！

It’s now the end of May, and although quite a bit of time has passed, we still have so many photos, memories, and moments of everyone from the road that deserve to be shared. So, after taking some time to reset mentally, I’d like to start writing these articles again.

Some people may feel, “It’s already been so long… maybe there’s no need to write about it now.” But for me, these writings are also small records meant for someone, somewhere in the world, who may read them ahead of the ぜんぶ君のせいだ。WORLD TOUR planned for 2027.

If even a small part of what we saw, the atmosphere of each country, the things we experienced, the moments we can share, or the members’ expressions along the way can reach someone and make them think, “Maybe I’d like to go see this too,” then I think that alone is reason enough to keep writing.

So then…

The Norway Chapter (or perhaps several chapters at once if I manage to organize them properly) begins again.

それでは、ひとまず前回記事の振り返り↓
So then, to begin with, here’s a quick look back at the previous article

ノルウェーのオスロに到着してからの少しの時間を書いたところまででしたね。ここからの状況をお伝えします(覚えてる範囲で)！

Last time, I had written up to the point shortly after we arrived in Oslo, Norway. So from here on, I’ll continue sharing what happened next… at least as much as I can remember!

今回ノルウェーでお世話になったオーガナイザーはLookEast!のKaiとFrank、本当にありがとうございました！何より、Kaiには言葉では言い表すことが出来ないほどの感謝を。僕やメンバーは「ノルウェーの父」と呼んでいます(笑)。僕が今回ツアーでヨーロッパチャプターをやるって言い出した時も、Kaiが居たからこそ全てが決まっていきました。ポーランド後のスケジュール、僕のわがままで出来る限り公演を入れたいとのお願いも、快く、そして各公演個性的に、迅速に組んでくれました！公演や滞在についても、細かくそして優しく全てをサポートしてくれて本当に心強かった、だからこそ僕らはまたノルウェーに帰りたいと強くつよく思うのです！

First of all, I want to give my deepest thanks to Kai and Frank from LookEast!, the organizers who took care of us during our time in Norway. Truly, thank you so much.

More than anything, there are honestly no words strong enough to express how grateful I am to Kai. The members and I even call him “the father of Norway” (lol).

When I first started talking about doing a Europe Chapter for this tour, it was Kai’s presence and support that allowed everything to begin taking shape. Even after Poland, when I selfishly asked if we could fit in as many shows as possible, he welcomed the idea wholeheartedly and quickly put together a series of unique and memorable events for us.

Not only the performances themselves, but every part of our stay was supported with incredible care and kindness. He handled everything thoughtfully, always making us feel safe and supported.

That’s exactly why all of us feel so strongly about wanting to return to Norway again.

さて、この日の朝は王宮前広場からスタート！

Anyway, the morning of this day began at the square in front of the Royal Palace!

北欧らしい木々が立ち並ぶ公園を抜けた先に現れた王宮。ノルウェーの地元の人々が散歩したり音楽したり、各々の日常の日々の中に入って、僕らも少しだけ背が高くなった気がする(そんなことはない笑

Beyond a park lined with trees that felt unmistakably Nordic, the Royal Palace finally came into view.

Local people in Norway were walking their dogs, playing music, relaxing, simply living their everyday lives there. And somehow, by stepping for even a brief moment into that ordinary flow of life, it felt like we ourselves had grown just a little taller somehow.

…Though that’s probably not true at all (lol).

皆思い思いにパシャパシャ写真を撮ってるその直後…

Right after everyone was happily snapping photos all over the place…

KaiやFrankが、優しく、だけど早急に「皆この場を離れよう」と言っていて、僕らはなんのことだかわからない状況だったのですが…たまたまこの王宮に、EUのとても偉い人たちが来ているドンピシャのタイミングだったようで、途端にあたりが厳戒態勢になっていきました…(なんだか緊張しました)。そんなタイミングに出くわすなんてびっくり。王宮での素敵な体験を後にして、この後はノルウェーの電車に乗って山奥への最素敵プレイスへ移動します。

Kai and Frank gently, but very urgently, started telling us, “Everyone, we should leave this area now.”

At first, none of us understood what was happening…

But apparently, by complete coincidence, we had arrived at the exact moment some very important figures from the EU were visiting the Royal Palace. Almost instantly, the atmosphere around us shifted into an intense security lockdown state…

Honestly, it made us a little nervous.

What a surreal timing to stumble into by accident.

After leaving behind that unforgettable experience at the Royal Palace, we then boarded a Norwegian train and headed deep into the mountains, toward an unbelievably beautiful place.

ノルウェーの電車でゆっくり景色を見ながらFrognerseteren駅まで揺られます。

From there, we rode a Norwegian train all the way to Frognerseteren Station, slowly watching the scenery drift by outside the windows.

日本人である僕の説明で理解出来るかわからないけれど、この駅を降りたら何があるか？ 答えは駅ライクなスキー場です(笑)まさに、駅と、スキー場が一体化したような場所！オスロを一望出来る景色も凄いし、空気は言うまでもなく美味しいし、胸がいっぱいになる。

I’m not sure if I can explain this properly as a Japanese person, but what’s waiting beyond this station?

The answer is… something like a station fused together with a ski resort (lol).

It genuinely felt like the train station and the ski slopes had become one single place.

The view overlooking all of Oslo was breathtaking, the air was unbelievably fresh, and just standing there alone was enough to completely fill your chest with emotion.

Frognerseterenと言うレストランを目指して、この駅(山頂)辺りから雪山を降って行きます。本当に普通の雪山を徒歩で降っていくんです。初の体験。皆転ばぬよう気をつけながら、写真を撮りながら、笑いながら。

Our destination was a restaurant called Frognerseteren, and to get there, we actually had to walk down the snowy mountain from around the station area at the summit.

And when I say snowy mountain, I mean a real snowy mountain.

We literally walked down through it on foot.

It was a completely new experience for us.

Everyone carefully trying not to slip, taking photos along the way, laughing together as we slowly made our way down the mountain.

降る距離としては決して長いわけではないんだけど、気をつけて、気をつけて歩くこと30〜40分。ようやく目的地のレストランへ。

The distance itself honestly wasn’t that long, but because we had to walk so carefully, step by step, it ended up taking us around 30 to 40 minutes before we finally reached our destination: the restaurant.

僕自身、ノルウェーでのヴァイキングの歴史とかが本当に大好きで、例えばゲームもアサシンクリードヴァルハラが好きだし、Netflixのヴァイキング系ドラマなんかはほぼ全部チェックしてるくらい好きなんだけど、この建物の上の装飾(龍)は、英語だと “dragon head roof ornament” とか “dragon carving” って呼ばれることが多いもの。悪霊・魔除け的な意味合いを持ってるんだって。これを初めて観た時にじーんと"本当にノルウェーに来たんだな…"って実感した。実際ノルウェーの首都オスロでは、コーヒーが有名だったり街中も街並みもおしゃれな建築とかあって、僕が画面を通して抱いていたイメージのノルウェーというものを実感することはなかった、それまでは。けれど北欧の伝統木造建築の雰囲気を感じることが出来たこの時はとても感動でした。

Personally, I’ve always been deeply fascinated by Norwegian Viking history. For example, I love games like Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, and I’ve probably watched almost every Viking-related drama series on Netflix.

So the decorations on top of this building, those dragon-shaped carvings often called things like “dragon head roof ornaments” or “dragon carvings” in English, really hit me emotionally. Apparently, they traditionally carry meanings related to warding off evil spirits and protecting the place.

The first moment I saw them, I genuinely felt this quiet wave of emotion like,
“…So I really did come to Norway.”

Up until then, Oslo, as a modern capital city, had honestly felt very different from the “Norway” I had imagined through screens and stories. The city is famous for its coffee culture, stylish architecture, and modern urban atmosphere, and while all of that was beautiful, it didn’t quite connect with the image of Norway I had carried in my mind.

But at that moment, standing before a place where I could truly feel the atmosphere of traditional Nordic wooden architecture, I was honestly deeply moved.

レストラン内も素敵な雰囲気。

The atmosphere inside the restaurant was beautiful as well.

余談だけど、ノルウェーは昔から“ライオン紋章”を王家や国家シンボルとして使っているらしく、伝統的なレストランの装飾に使われる事も多いようです。

As a little side note, Norway has apparently used the lion as a royal and national symbol for centuries, so it seems to appear quite often in the decorations of traditional restaurants and buildings like this.

美味しい食事。ノルウェーの伝統的な料理です。

The food was incredible as well. Traditional Norwegian cuisine.

以前は料理の記事として一本書こうと思っていたので料理の写真は載せないようにしていたんだけど、今やかくかくしかじかで時間も経ってしまったので、これ以降は載せるようにします。これはノルウェー風ミートボール＋サーモンのサンドウィッチ。量がね…ものすごく多いんですよ(笑)これは"ぜんぶ君のせいだ。"だけかもしれないけれど、沢山の種類をちょっとずつ皆でシェアする、日本で言う"居酒屋料理"的な、そんな食べ方をする僕らからしたら一個一個の料理がとても多いヨーロッパは驚くべきお皿の大きさ…なんならこれくらいの量をこの日全員が食べまして…お腹いっぱい胸いっぱい。

Originally, I had planned to write a completely separate article focused only on food, so at the time I intentionally avoided posting photos of the meals. But well… various things happened, a lot of time has passed, and so from this point onward I’ll just share them properly.

This one was Norwegian-style meatballs and a salmon sandwich.

And the portion sizes…
they were absolutely enormous (lol).

Maybe this is just a “ぜんぶ君のせいだ。” thing, but we’re very used to the kind of eating style common in Japanese izakaya culture, where everyone orders lots of different dishes and shares a little bit of everything together.

So coming to Europe, where every single dish arrives as a giant standalone plate, was honestly kind of shocking.

Actually, on this day, every single one of us ate portions around this size…

By the end, both our stomachs and our hearts were completely full.

午前中から動いていて眠かったのか、お腹いっぱいになったからか、皆帰りの電車では眠ってしまいました。

Maybe it was because we had been moving around since early morning, or maybe simply because we were so full from the meal, but on the train ride back, everyone ended up falling asleep.

だがしかし、この日の本番は夜のノルウェー初ワンマンライブ！オスロ市内に電車で移動したのち少し宿で休憩して現地へ。初ワンマンライブの場所は「Goldie Oslo」です。

But even so, the real main event of this day was still waiting for us that night: our very first one-man live show in Norway.

After taking the train back into central Oslo, we rested for a little while at the hotel before heading to the venue.

The place where our first Norway one-man live would take place was “Goldie Oslo.”

とてもとても残念な事に、この「Goldie Oslo」は我々がライブをした、ほんの少し後に破産をしてしまったようで…今はきっとこの箱がないという事ですね。次回ノルウェーに戻った時は、必ずまたこの箱でワンマンしたいと思っていたのでとても残念に思います。と、同時に、やはり何があるかわからないこの世界で、一回一回のライブに命をかけて挑む自分たちの姿勢は崩したくないなって改めて思いました。それでは、わたしが別名義で行っているスチルのライブ写真を少し載せようかな。

Unfortunately, something very sad happened afterward. It seems that “Goldie Oslo” went bankrupt not long after we performed there…

Which most likely means that venue no longer exists now.

When we returned to Norway someday, I had absolutely wanted to do another one-man show there, so hearing that news was honestly heartbreaking.

At the same time, though, it reminded me once again that in a world where absolutely anything can happen at any moment, I never want us to lose the mindset of giving everything we have to each and every live performance.

So then…

I think I’ll share a few live photos I took myself under my other photography name.

All Photo by Ic ( @GARDESECT )

これまた余談なんですが…僕はスチルもムービーも撮るので使用機材はSONY一択です。この日はスチル多めに撮っていましたが、解せぬ事が起きました。比較的新しいレンズである“50-150 F2 GM”というズームレンズがあります。端的に少し重くて径もデカい。このレンズの前面にレンズフードを付けていたんですが、気づけばいつの間にかこのレンズフードが消え去っている…95mmのレンズフードって爆弾おにぎりくらいデカいんですよ、見た目も。なのにない。ライブ中は「まぁどっかに転がってるだろ」くらいに思っていたのですが、ライブ後這いつくばって全ての箇所を探しても見当たらない…マジで謎。あんなの持って帰っても使いようがないだろうし、間違って持っていったとも考えにくい。まさに神隠しです(笑)

Another little side story…

Since I shoot both still photography and video, I’m basically all-in on Sony gear.

That day I was mainly taking still photos, but something completely unexplainable happened.

There’s a relatively new zoom lens called the “50-150 F2 GM.” To put it simply, it’s pretty heavy, and the diameter is huge. I had the lens hood attached to the front of it…

But at some point, without me noticing, the lens hood completely vanished.

And this wasn’t some tiny accessory either. A 95mm lens hood is huge, almost the size of one of those giant “bomb-style” rice balls you see in Japan.

Yet somehow… gone.

During the live, I was thinking,
“Well, it probably just rolled somewhere.”

But after the show, I was literally crawling around searching every possible corner of the venue, and it was nowhere to be found.

Honestly, it’s still a mystery.

It’s not exactly the kind of thing someone could casually take home and actually use, and it’s hard to imagine someone accidentally carrying it away either.

A genuine case of being spirited away by the gods (lol).

話を戻して…

Anyway, getting back to the story…

Goldie Osloでのライブは語り尽くせぬほどのバカでか感情を僕らに与えました。ヨーロッパでのワンマンはポーランドのグディニャに次いで2番目だったんですが、どの会場も本当に思い出深いものになったし、何より初めての国でワンマンライブが出来る喜び、心から噛み締めていました。協力してくれた皆さん本当にありがとうございました！！！

The live at Goldie Oslo gave us emotions far too huge to ever fully put into words.

This was our second one-man show in Europe following Gdynia, Poland, and every single venue we played became something deeply unforgettable to us.

More than anything, though, the joy of being able to perform a one-man live in a country we had never played before was something we truly felt deep in our hearts the entire time.

To everyone who helped make it happen,
thank you so, so much!!!

思い出深いライブを終えたのち物販と特典会をして(物販ほぼなくなってきまして焦る僕ら)会場を後にしますが、今日はまだまだ終わらない！この後に、首都オスロから次のライブをする街、コングスヴィンゲルという場所まで列車で移動します。以前からの記事でお分かりの通り、我々は11個のバゲージを持っています。Goldieからオスロセントラルステーションまでも多少距離がある。全然歩きます！なんだけど、優しいノルウェーのファン有志たちがバゲージを持って駅まで一緒に荷物を運んでくれる。ありがたい。

After finishing that unforgettable live, we held our merch session and cheki event afterward…
(and at this point we were honestly starting to panic a little because our merch stock was almost disappearing completely).

Then we left the venue.

But the day still wasn’t over yet.

From there, we had to travel by train from the capital city of Oslo all the way to the next town where we’d perform: a place called Kongsvinger.

And as anyone who has been following these articles already knows…
we were traveling with eleven pieces of luggage.

There was also a decent walking distance between Goldie and Oslo Central Station.

So yes…
we walked. A lot.

But some incredibly kind Norwegian fans volunteered to help carry our baggage and walked together with us all the way to the station.

Honestly, we were so grateful for that kindness.

もちろん、我々は、そしてメンバーたちは手伝ってくれる人たちに迷惑はかけたくないし、これからのことを考えれば甘えてばかりもいられない。当然ながら本人の荷物は自分たちで運びます。物販が入っているキャリーなどを運んでもらえるだけで本当に助かりました、皆ありがとう！

Of course, both we and the members never want to become a burden to the people helping us, and thinking about the future, we also know we can’t just keep relying on others forever.

Naturally, everyone carries their own personal luggage themselves.

Even so, just having help with the heavier suitcases filled with merchandise made an enormous difference for us.

To everyone who helped,
thank you so much!

待つ事30分ほどでコングスヴィンゲルまでの電車が来ます、そこから揺られて小1時間。ようやく、忘れる事の出来ない長い1日が終わって行くのでした。

After waiting around 30 minutes, the train bound for Kongsvinger finally arrived.

From there, we spent about another hour gently swaying along the tracks.

And at last, that long, unforgettable day slowly came to an end.

ノルウェー篇、まとめて書いて行こうと思っていましたが、どうにもまとめきれませんでした。これでもかなり文章を省き写真を多めに、視覚的に楽しめるように考え、短くまとめたつもりですがいかがでしたでしょう？ もっと細かい方が面白いのかな…わからないけど、僕なりにリハビリも兼ねて描きましたので、ご容赦いただけると幸いです。

I originally thought I’d be able to wrap up the Norway Chapter all in one go, but somehow… I just couldn’t manage to fit it all together.

Even with this version, I already cut down quite a lot of the writing and tried to focus more on the photos and visual atmosphere so it would feel lighter and easier to enjoy.

What did you think?

Maybe it would actually be more interesting if I wrote in even greater detail…
Honestly, I’m not really sure yet.

But in many ways, writing this was also a kind of rehabilitation for myself, trying to slowly get back into expressing these experiences again.

So I hope you can forgive me for that.

それでは、皆さん各国自分の居場所で、笑っていてください。

So then…

Wherever you are in the world, in your own place, I hope all of you are smiling.
