劇場版 境界の彼方 -I’LL BE HERE- 未来篇の感想:これが本当の最終回!


 『境界の彼方』が劇場版になると聞いた時、一体どういう話にするつもりなんだろう?と想像もできませんでした。確かに疑問は沢山残るTVシリーズでしたので2クールで詳しくやって欲しかったなと思っていました。

 最終回の戦いのシーンなんて劇場で映えそうでしたもんね。だからTV版を膨らませる総集編でも十分見たいと思ってましたが・・・続編って?一体こここからどう展開させるわけ?と疑問に思っていました。

 しかし、今、未来編を見た後は、そんな疑問はすっかり吹き飛びました。続編でもなんでもない!これこそが本当の最終回なんだと。

(参考)劇場版 境界の彼方 -I’LL BE HERE- 過去編 感想:総集編ではなく未来編へのプロローグ! - アニメとスピーカーと‥‥

 上記、過去篇に続く未来篇のレビューです。

 ※予告編以上の詳しいネタバレは出来るだけ避けていますが未見の方はご注意下さい。
※2回目(2週目)視聴の感想をラストに追記しました。

2日目でも満席続きの大盛況


 初日は都合が付かず2日目に行きました。劇場は本当に混雑していて、1時間前なのに満席で席が取れないなんて久しぶりに見ましたよ。MOVIXさいたま、GWとはいえ、ちょっと部屋小さすぎるよ・・・まだ2日目なんだからさぁ。前売り券なのでネット予約ができず夜の回まで待つはめに・・・。

 そうしたら入場特典のコースターもらえないし・・・もうがっかり。やっぱり朝早く起きていくべきだったな・・・もしくは、昨日の夜に眠くても行けば良かったと後悔しきりでした。

 そんなに待っても座席は前から3列目という劣悪な席!センターは取ったものの、見上げるのでスクリーンが台形に見えますよ。あまりに近すぎて画素のドットまで視認できるし。映画館で画素まで見えるの初めてだよ・・・とほほ。

 まあ、そんな残念な席でしたが、部屋に合わせてスクリーンも小さめなのが幸いして、前方とはいえ視野からはみ出ることはありませんでした。視野一杯で映える場面が多かったので後ろ過ぎるよりは前の方が良いかもしれませんね。

夜桜のシーンは本当に美しくて


 予告編から期待していた桜のシーン。夜桜のシーンなんですが、本当に、想像以上にキレイでした。ああ、もっと、じっくり見ていたい・・・というくらい、桜の景色と栗山さんの笑顔が素敵で・・・でもその笑顔の内側には、実は哀しみと不安が入り交じっていた事がわかります。

 実は私が一番感動したのはここのシーンだったりします。ピントの揺れる効果を積極的に使っていましたね、心の揺れを演出していたように感じました。

 ちょっと期待していた栗山さんと秋人の普通のカップルシーンというのは、実はほとんど無かったんです。ただ、秋人と二人で歩くシーンで、栗山さんのホッとしたような、ちょっとうれしそうな、でも心の奥には諦めがあるような・・・そんな複雑な表情がすばらしいです。
ちょとうれしそうな、でも覚悟したような複雑な表情

 緻密に表情を書き込むシーンとデフォルメするシーンのメリハリがはっきりしているのは本作の特徴ですね。ここぞと言う時の、緻密な表情、ダイナミックな動きが映えます。特に後半の剣の動きはハッとさせられました。

となりの女の子が号泣・・・


 今回いわゆるシリアス展開です。京アニでシリアス展開だと、ちょっと受け付けない人もいらっしゃるようですが、個人的には大好物。『中二病でも恋がしたい!』のシリアス展開も大評価してました。特に本作ではこういう展開が見たかった!とTVシリーズの頃から思っていたんですよね。

いわゆるシリアス展開 しかもかなり重いやつ

 たまたま隣席が父娘の親子。アニメ好きらしい小中学生くらい?の女の子は嗚咽をもらして涙が止まらない様子でした。何度も何度も目を覆っているようでした。

 さすがに年代も違うので(隣のお父さんと近いし・・)自分は同じ所で号泣とはいかないですが、製作陣が想定しているファンの心にはしっかり届いているようでしたよ。ストレートに愛と絆を表現している分かりやすさ。その辺が良いのかな。ほんと若い人がいっぱいの客席でした。

おどろきの全キャラ大活躍!


 過去編では栗山さんと秋人に焦点を絞った結果、その他のキャラの詳細はかなり省略されました。他のキャラのファンには少し物足りない所もあったと思います。

 でも未来編は違います!たった89分なのに、全キャラがしっかりと役割を与えられ活躍するのには本当に驚きました。本当に全キャラなんです!あのキャラも、このキャラも・・・この短時間にあれだけ入れ込むってすごくないですか?

 ちまたで影の主役では?と話題になっている博臣(ひろおみ)先輩の活躍は、もちろん素晴らしかったですね。過去編では喰い足りなかった美月もたっぷり毒を吐きます。(もちろん活躍も一杯します)

 でも個人的に注目したのは秋人の母親の弥生さん!TV本編のときから、この人はただ者じゃないと思っていたんですよ。でもTV版ではイマイチ重要性が発揮されず、ちょっとキワモノイメージで終わったのが気になってました。

秋人の母、弥生さんも未来編では重要な役割

 しかし、未来編では重要な役割を担い、かつその正体も仄めかされます。弥生さんやっぱ良いわ〜。思った通り只者ではなかったです。もちろんキワモノキャラも健在ですよ。

幾重にも重なった愛と絆のストーリー


 未来編では愛と絆というキーワードが、栗山さんと秋人の関係だけでなく、幾重にも重なって掛かってきます。

 まさに、過去編と合わせて1本の作品となる作りです。未来編を見るともう一度、過去編から通しで見たいなぁと感じます。
『石立監督も「劇場版アニメ化はまったく予定になかった」と語る』
境界の彼方 : 伝えたいのは“つなぐ愛” 京アニ石立監督に聞く- MANTAN WEB より引用

 石立監督のインタビューによると、続編は考えてなかったらしいですが、それが信じられないほど綺麗にまとまった劇場版。続編というよりも未来編によって完成されたような感じがします。伏線の回収も見事。まるで未来編ありきで作ったと思えるほど自然な流れでした。
『普遍的で地域・時代を問わず語られている大きなテーマなので、「素直に分かりやすく描くことに不安もあった」が、完成した今は「素直につないで良かったと思っています」と笑顔で振り返る。』
境界の彼方 : 伝えたいのは“つなぐ愛” 京アニ石立監督に聞く- MANTAN WEB より引用

 インタビューの様に、確かにストーリー自体は王道的な展開かもしれないけれど、難解にしない事で力強いメッセージが伝わったと思いました。

 境界の彼方という作品は、個人的にはこの劇場版2本が本編だと言いたくなるほどです。TV版はむしろ捕足のサイドストーリーのような、そのくらい劇場版の完成度は高いと感じました。(TV版が劣るという意味ではありませんよ、念のため!TV版には他に無い独特の味があって、そこが好きでした)

 TV版しか見ていない人が未来編から見ても、もちろん問題はないと思います。でも二人に焦点を当てた過去編を見る事で、TV版とは違う視点の切り替えが出来るのでやはり過去編から見たい所ですね。2本で3時間って本当にちょうど良いし。
※過去篇のBD/DVD情報は『過去編の感想』の文末にまとめました。


『会いたかった空』のフルコーラス!


 当ブログでは注目しているオープニングとエンディング。OPは無く(本編リード部分でのクレジット表示)EDは『会いたかった空』のたっぷりフルコーラスでしたね。

 『会いたかった空』が本編で使われる事を期待はしていました。でもインストのサントラ楽曲がかなり良くて不満はありませんでしたね。EDでフルコーラスで使うのは良かったと思います。やっぱりフルコーラスだといいよね。大団円のストーリーだからこそ、しっかり余韻に浸れました

 ところでEDに入る直前。栗山さんと秋人のラストシーンからプツリと暗転してEDに入ったときは、えっ、ちょっとブツ切れじゃない?もうちょっと余韻を残してよ〜と正直不満でした。でもエンドクレジット終了後、あのカットがあるからなんですね〜。

 あのシーン、今までだったら秋人が言って栗山さんが「なななな、なに言ってるんですかっ・・・先輩っ!」ってどもりそうなシーンですよね。それが逆転することで二人の関係が本当に新しいものになったんだと印象づけられました。

 まあ、ED途中に帰る人なんていないと思いますが、最後にお楽しみがあるんで、未見の方はお気をつけ下さいね。

エンディング・・・そして本当の最終回


 そして今回のED映像、黒バックだけだった過去編と違い、回想シーンを繋いだ映像つきです。一見よくあるエンディングですが・・・でも気付いてしまったんです。ああ、そうか。これで、本当の最終回なんだな・・・と。

 2013年から足掛け3年。無いと思っていた映画化発表で楽しみにしていた日々。そしてとうとう未来編の公開。でも今日はお祭りであると同時にお別れの日。もう次回は無い。これでおしまいなんだなぁ・・・と、回想シーンを見ていると急に感傷的な気分になってしまいました。

 このトシですからね、人生に影響を与えるようなインパクトがあるわけではないです。でも綺麗に着地した素敵な作品。きっと20代では気恥ずかしくて向き合えなかったかもしれない作品。40過ぎた今なら素直に楽しめます

 自分に向けられた作品ではないのかもしれないけど、TV版も含めて3年間、とても楽しかったです。スタッフの皆さんにはありがとうと言いたいですね。

 でも本当は、隣の女の子のように思いっきり号泣したいなぁと、みずみずしい感受性がちょっとうらやましかったりもしました。

 今回は都合で奥さんは見に行けなかったんですが、改めて一緒に見に行くつもりです。今度こそ中央の良い席で、もちろん入場者プレゼントも必ず入手して。

 その際はまた追記します。(下に追記しました)

『劇場版 境界の彼方 -I'LL BE HERE-』予告篇 第2弾 
KyoaniChannel 公式配信 

追記:2週目を見に行きました


 2週目とはいえプレゼント2弾の初日だけあってほぼ満員状態。1週目の時より普通の高校生グループがいっぱい来ていて40代は浮いちゃいますね。ホント半分くらい女性だし京アニらしい客層でした。女子高生なんかは泣いたりしてましたが、男子グループなんかは感動しても恥ずかしくて困りそうですね。

 今回も小さな部屋だったけど前寄り中央ベストな席を確保。とはいえ2回目だからちょっと飽きるかな〜と心配していました。ところが、筋が分かっている分かえって集中して見る事が出来ましたよ。1回目より感動してしまいましたね。

 1回目はイマイチ理解できていない部分があったし、ちょっと気恥ずかしさが強かったりしたんですよね。2回目はその辺がスッキリしてリラックスできた分、素直に物語に入り込む事が出来ました。

 特に後半のクライマックス部分とラストのハッピーエンドは、1回目よりずっと素直に感動できました。ああ良かった〜。

 89分に一杯盛り込んだ、かなり熱量の高い作品ですので見る方も結構エネルギー使うんですよね。一緒に見に行った奥さんも結構消耗していたようですが、後半でかなり感動していたようです。お気に入りキャラの美月の活躍も高評価でした。

 2回目みて思ったのは、秋人って本当に『死なない』以外の力がなくて、図らずも周りに迷惑をかける存在で不遇だよなぁと。それが栗山さんを守れないという自信の無さとなって、真実を知らせないという行動に繋がっているのかなと思いました。

 見ていると秋人に対して歯がゆいというか、真実を話して栗山さんと向き合わないからあんな事になるんじゃないかぁと思ったりします。でも石立監督のインタビューにあるように、これが『雨が降らなければ何も固まらない』(下記より引用)って事なんでしょうね。

『境界の彼方』はハッピーエンドに!石立監督が詰め込んだ「京アニ」イズム - シネマトゥデイ

 あと、本稿ではEDが回想シーンと書いていましたが、回想ではなくてエピローグでしたね。楽曲の前半でエピローグシーン、後半で黒バックのスタッフロールという構成は気分を整理できて良かったです。しっかりと余韻を楽しめる作りだと思いました。

 同じく本稿で、秋人の母の弥生さんについて書きましたが、言うほど活躍してなかったですね(笑)でも妙に印象に残ったんだよなぁ。結構お気に入りキャラってこともあるけど、なんか主人公達より年代が近いから共感してしまったのかもしれませんね。

 2回目も非常に楽しめる作品でした。

amazon MP3ストアの『試聴音源』は音が悪い問題

こんなツイートをしたのですが・・・

 AmazonでもiTunesみたいに音楽データのダウンロード販売しているのは知ってますか?Amazonデジタルミュージック用のクーポンをもらったので、ちょっと買ってみようと思ったんです。

 でも『試聴』をした瞬間に・・・あれ?なんかイマイチな音質?

    

 たとえば、花澤香菜さんの『君がいなくちゃだめなんだ

  iTunesで試聴した後にamazonで視聴すると、出だしから少しシャリシャリした圧縮音。まあ、プレビュー版としては聞けなくは無いけど・・・実際に買ったデータもこの音だったらやだなぁという感想です。AmazonMP3ストアの音質ってどうなの?と思って調べてみました。

【追記】2018年現在は最近の楽曲については試聴版も通常の音質になっている感じです。詳しくは文末にまとめました。

2015年の音楽配信状況(ローレゾ版)


 楽曲データの販売って言うとAppleのiTunesストアか、SonyのMora(モーラ)が有名ですよね。AmazonのMP3ストアはそれに比べるとちょっと地味です。

販売しているデータのビットレートは次の通り

  • mora (Label Gate/SONY) : AAC-LC 320kbps
  • iTunes Store (Apple )  : 256kbps AAC
  • Amazon MP3 ストア    : 可変 256kbps MP3

 スペック上はmoraが一番良いですね。320kbpsと頭ひとつ抜けています。320kbpsあれば圧縮音源としては文句無いですよね。それに、いつの間にかMacやiOS端末でも普通に再生できるようになってたみたいです。昔は一手間かけなきゃいけなくて面倒だった気が・・・。

 AmazonだけがMP3フォーマットです。MP3って言っても256kbpsですからね。昔は128kbpsで聞いてましたもんね。それに比べれば十分マトモな音質が期待できるはずなんだよなぁ。

 MP3にせよAACにせよ、256kbps以上になると結構しっかり聞き比べないとわからないレベル。WAVなど無圧縮ファイルとの違いなら分かりそうだけど、もしブラインドテストで上記3種を聞き分けろって言われても自信は無いかも・・・面白そうだけどね。

 まあ、その位のレベルの音質が期待できる訳で。amazonのプレビュー音質は明らかに数字より音質が悪いです。128kbps以下か、ヘタすれば64kbpsかも・・・って印象です。

CDのプレビュー(試聴版)の音質は?


 そこで冒頭のツイートだったんですが、オーディオマニアのフォロアーの人はAmazon MP3なんて興味はないよねぇ。まあ、特に意見はありませんでした。

 そういえばCD版のプレビューはどうなんだろう?と思って聞いてみました。

 う〜ん、よくわからない・・・。そもそもMP3ストアとは試聴のボリューム設定が違うみたい。CDの試聴の方が落ち着いた感じに聞こえるけど、どちらも変わらないかな?。

 試聴データなのでどちらも当然圧縮データだろうけど、MP3ストアの試聴データと同一データか?と言われると自信ないなぁ。
 
 でもどちらも、iTunesの試聴に比べると圧縮ノイズを感じるのは同じです。

Amazon MP3を買ってみた!


 ここまで試聴して、さすがにこの音質で販売する事は無いだろうと思い購入してみました。(クーポンもあったし・・・)1曲だとあれなんで、2曲買いました。

 結論から言えば、購入したデータは試聴音源とは別データでした。安心して買ってもらって大丈夫です!期待通りのMP3 256kpbsの音です。(期待以上とは言わない)明らかにプレビュー音質とは違いますし、iTunesの試聴と聞き比べても遜色ありませんでした。

 他の会社も含めて気になったので、各社のサポートに問い合わせてみました。

各社の試聴データと販売用データの違いを調べてみた


  • mora
    • 販売データ(AAC-LC 320kbps)
    • 試聴データAAC-LC 320kbps)
  • iTunes Store
    • 販売データ( 256kbps AAC
    • 試聴データ不明 /256kbps AACかな?
  • Amazon MP3 ストア
    • 販売データ(VBR 256kbps MP3)
    • 試聴データ別データ/詳細不明

 moraでは試聴用データもAAC-LC 320kbpsを使っているそうです。さすがにハイレゾの視聴はハイレゾデータという訳にはいかないのでAAC-LC 320kbpsを使用しているとの事でした。ハイレゾを視聴するには別音源ですが体験用データをダウンロードできるそうです。

 iTunesは、これに関する問い合わせ窓口が分からずきいていません。ただ、プレビューとの音質比較は、違いを感じるのが難しいレベルで、同じ256kbpsAACじゃないかなと思います。ただ、すこし違いを感じる時もあるので何とも言えないですね。

 AmazonMP3ストアは、カスタマーサービスより『商品ページ上で視聴できるサンプルとでは、ファイルが異なるため必ずしも同じビットレートではございません。 』との回答を頂きました。サンプルのビットレートは不明ですが本体データよりは低いのは確実ですね。

 でもこの時代にビットレート低くして容量をケチるメリットはどのくらいあるんだろうか・・・。サンプル音質が悪いとデメリットが大きいと思いますね。CD時代の名残なんだろうけど、デジタルミュージックストアに関しては販売データと同一の試聴が出来た方が良いと思います。

で、AmazonMP3の音質は?


 本当なら3社のデータを購入して比較するべきなんだろうけど・・・ネタになるとはいえ同じ曲3曲も買うのはちょっと・・・。iTunesとAmazonMP3の詳細比較は下記のページがが大変詳しいです。
S'bhuth.Blog - 続・iTunes Store と Amazon MP3 の音質比較 

 Amazonの購入データとiTunesの試聴データを聞き比べてみました(下記参照)
正直言って違いを感じるのは難しかったです。違いがあるような気もしますが、ブラインドテストしたら自信ありませんね。

 今回は無圧縮音源がないので比較できませんが『君がいなくちゃだめなんだ』では一部ひずみを感じるような箇所もありました。でもAmazon、iTunes共に同じだったので、圧縮音源のためなのか元々なのかは不明です。

 自分の貧弱な機材(と聴力)では限界があるのかもしれません。もう少し高級なヘッドホンがあればなぁ。でも良い機材使ってもトシだからダメかなぁ・・・。

試聴環境

  • 音源
    • 『君がいなくちゃだめなんだ』花澤香菜 AmazonMP3販売データ/iTunes Storeプレビュー
    • 『光るなら』Goose house AmazonMP3販売データ/iTunes Storeプレビュー
  • 再生機器
    • MacBook (Late 2009)/ USB-DAC(AKI.DAC/LPF)/iTunes 12
    • ChuMoyヘッドホンアンプ/audio-tecnica ATH-AD300

【追記】2018年現在の状況:試聴版の音質は改善したか?


 コメント欄で最近の状況について質問があったので改めて聞き直してみました。

 結論から言うと、最近発売の曲についてはMP3版(デジタルミュージック)もCD版も試聴の音質に問題はないようです

 ただ、上記で問題にしていた古い時代の試聴については、改善しているものもあれば、変わっていないものものもあるという感じでした。

 Amazonで売っている『君がいなくちゃだめなんだ 』3つのバリエーションの試聴音源と、実際に購入したダウンロード音源を聴き比べてみました。数年前に聞いた時とは試聴方法も変わっている感じですね。

  • CD版(Single, Maxi)の試聴版
    低ビットレートのデジタルノイズを強く感じる/以前と変わってない感じ/現品はすでに中古販売のみ/ブラウザ上での試聴
  • CD版(初回生産限定盤 DVD付)の試聴版
    Flash Playerでの試聴/ノイズや歪みは感じない/ただダウンロード版(256k)と比べてわずかに違いを感じる/音質自体は悪くない。
  • MP3版(amazonデジタルミュージック)の試聴版(PC/スマホ)
    パーカッションやボーカルににデジタルノイズや歪みを感じる/SingleCDの試聴版に比べるとマシかな?/でもダウンロード版に比べるとかなり悪い。
  • 【参考】MP3版(amazonデジタルミュージック)のダウンロード版 256kbpsVBR
    一般的なmp3の音質/サビの部分で若干つぶれたような印象はあるが、圧縮によるデジタルノイズではないと思う。

 改めて書くと、最近発売された楽曲については、CDも含めて十分な音質の試聴音源になっているようです。ただし、数年前の悪い音質の試聴音源は、一部改善された可能性がおあるものの、多くはそのままになっているような感じですね。

 特に昔のCDなんかは中古品しか扱っていないのでコストをかける意味もないのかもしれませんね。MP3版もあまり改善されていないのは残念ですけど。もちろん購入データの音質は問題ないのでご心配なく。

 今回は一部の曲を試聴しただけですので参考程度に考えてください。ちなみにAmazonの公式発表ではいまでもビットレトートは256kbps(VBR)のようです。

Breast Cancer Stop And Think Before You Pink!

Every October we get a nationwide wave of pink ribbon breast cancer awareness products. Even after October it's pretty difficult to avoid getting the widespread pink ribbon marketing culture in our faces...

The marketing with all those trinkets and status symbol associations has overshadowed the vitally important work needed to address putting an end to the deadly disease.

In spite of vast amounts of cash raised from kind well-meaning fundraisers/donators breast cancer continues to be a major health crisis: Corporations make millions from the disease while not anywhere near enough progress has been made in treatment, prevention and reversal. The figures speak for themselves. Taking the USA as an example, currently some 3 million women have breast cancer. Up to 33% will metastasise (spread to other parts of the body)... and annually some 40,000 women will die in spite of over 20 years of pink ribbon awareness.

-My message for everyone is to think before you pink: I encourage everyone to stop the distraction and focus on the matter at hand, find solutions to put an end to breast cancer.

There are 6 ways in which the pink ribbon culture distracts, preventing real significant progress.

1. It promotes an 'empty awareness'

There are 2 types of awareness. One is an awareness that leads to making a difference. The other is an 'empty awareness' which makes no difference because it doesn't lead to taking action and getting significant results. This is what's happening in the case of pink ribbon marketing and its products. Everyone has been made aware about breast cancer but ultimately nothing has significantly changed in stopping women from getting the disease because mere awareness is not enough to achieve the end goal.

2. Pink ribbon spreads misinformation

Pink ribbon marketing may be promoting disinformation by spreading a major misunderstanding that early detection saves lives. The only real fact that can be said for certain about early detection is that it detects different cancers. Nobody knows at this early stage whether or not the cancer will turn out to be malignant or benign. Another case where pink ribbon campaigns don't tell the whole truth is the '5 year cure rate.' If the cancer doesn't return 5 years after treatment the person is signed off as 'cured.' However, the cancer may return... but this is not mentioned allowing the stats to be fiddled.

-Both the early detection myth and the stats fiddle allows pink ribbon to manipulate the customer through fear and false undertakings so that more pink ribbon products can be sold.

3. Corporations manipulate people's emotions; spread fear and give false hope, while exploiting goodwill and concern

This is done by the corporations to make more money from products sales. At the end of the day the corporations benefit from breast cancer far more than the women they help who are at risk. There is much opaqueness and a lack of accountability from corporations regarding fundraising and marketing promotion.

4. Sometimes corporations advertise the pink ribbon on a product that contributes to breast cancer

For example, the pink ribbon has been known to be seen on plastic bottled water. The plastic leeches out a chemical carcinogen know as bisphenol A (BPA)... This is a hypocritical and darkly deceptive piece of marketing. They make the statement 'we care' about ending breast cancer only to sell a product that can contribute to it while used to earn customer loyalty.

5. Pink ribbon culture promotes products that can sexualize and degrade women

This can be done by depicting women as nothing more than sex-objects by focussing on the breasts, ignoring the many other diverse aspects that deserve respect in a woman. During the breast cancer campaigns this includes using degrading slogans such as "save the boobies" and "save the ta-tas..." with the fitting accompanying images...

6. Pink ribbon covers up what really goes on when fighting breast cancer

They may give out rare success stories where superficiality is used with carefully chosen pictures showing how a woman 'fought hard' to beat breast cancer... The idea behind this is to promote the image of fighting breast cancer in a palatable way, which makes it more profitable. Indeed, this covers up the truth; the harsh reality that fighting breast cancer involves devastation and it is not pretty...

In conclusion

-As I stated earlier my message for everyone is to think before you pink: To encourage everyone to stop the distraction and be it through grassroots activism; making corporations accountable... lobbying your MP... etc... Or educating your family and friends... do this to focus on finding the solutions related to putting an end to breast cancer.

3 Crucial Ways That A Breast Cancer Helpline Can Help You

If you, or a loved one, have been diagnosed with breast cancer, a breast cancer helpline can provide support, information and resources to help you through a challenging time. Breast cancer develops as the result of abnormal cell growth that occurs quickly and aggressively. Sometimes the cells can grow in a group or cluster, which can cause a tumor to form. Here are three crucial areas of the disease that a helpline can help you to understand.

1. Understanding the Symptoms and When You Should Speak to a Doctor

Contrary to what some women may think, cancer is not something that develops overnight and there are a number of different symptoms that may or may not be present. Sometimes a mass or lump in the breast tissue may present. You may experience nipple or breast pain, or a skin irritation or dimpling. On other occasions the breast may become red, hot or swollen or it might produce a discharge. Sometimes lymphatic swelling under the arms can also develop. None of these symptoms are guaranteed to be signs of breast cancer and could be caused by other factors. It frequently happens that women whose breast cancer is diagnosed through mammogram have no physical symptoms at all. So when should you speak to your doctor? Any change in your breasts that does not self-resolve or becomes worse should be discussed with your doctor. If you have any doubts or you find something unusual after hours, you can call the helpline.

2. Understanding Your Diagnosis

Mammograms are the most common way of screening for breast cancer. If you do not have any physical symptoms a mammogram may show the presence of a lesion. If there is an irregularity you will need to have a biopsy, where the pathologist will examine your breast tissue. This will show up potential signs of malignancy. Early detection of breast cancer is ideal so it is recommended that you go for regular checkups, as you have more treatment options and better chances of the treatment being successful.

3. Getting To Grips With Treatment Options

While you are strongly advised to follow the recommendations of your doctor, you may want a second opinion or to research further into your treatment options. If tissue is to be removed from the breast, the procedure is called a lumpectomy; if the whole breast is removed it is known as a mastectomy. Radiation is currently being used as a popular treatment because it reduces your chances of going into remission, while chemotherapy may be another option you are faced with.

中国メーカー ハイセンスの液晶テレビHS32K222を買ってみた感想


 先日の投稿で色々比較検討していた液晶テレビですが購入しました。

(参考)4万円以下の安い32型液晶テレビ(録画機能付)7機種を比較してみた 

 買ったのは・・・(タイトルでバレてるけど)ハイセンスの32インチ液晶テレビHS32K222です!JoshinWebで30,800円(送料込)さらに5年延長補償1,540円を付けました。
ハイセンスHS32K222 両脇のSPはFE103Eの自作バスレフ

『え、中国メーカーとか無いわ・・・』『結局値段かよ!』『画質にこだわりたいとか書いてたよなぁ』『愛国心とかないわけ?』などなど心の声が聞こえてきますが。

 よーく考えて決めた結果です。実機レビューの前に、まずはなぜこの機種に決めたのかと言うと・・・。


ハイセンスの液晶テレビに決めたわけ


  1. 値段が安かった
    32インチで30,800円は有名メーカーに比べると6-8千円の安さ。さらに上新電機の5年延長補償も魅力。
  2. 横から見ても見やすかった
    斜め方向から見た時の色の変化は有名メーカーと遜色ない感じだった。
  3. コントラストが高く白が鮮やかだった
    店頭で比較すると安価な競合製品の中では一つ抜けた鮮やかさで有名メーカーと比べても遜色ないと感じた。
  4. 2チューナーの裏録対応だった
    HDDレコーダーを持っているとはいえTV単独で裏番組録画が出来ないのは不便に思えた。有名メーカーで裏録対応だとワンクラス上になります。
  5. 4本足のスタンドがカッコ良かった
    競合のDXアンテナ製品と最後まで迷ったけど、ハイセンスの4本足のスタンドがカッコ良かった。スリムベゼルとあわせて美しいデザインだと思う。

 一言でいうと、安い割に画質も良くて機能も多くて見た目も良かった・・・という事です。難点はHisenseのロゴがちょっと恥ずかしいのと、長期使用の信頼性ですね。

HS32K222 実機レビュー


 ここまで書いて来てナンですが、前回書いた比較記事ではハイセンスの『HS32K220』を比較していました。でも実際に買ったのはマイナーチェンジモデル?の『HS32K222』です。

 スペック上では全く同一の製品に見えますけどね。単なる販売上の変更かもしれませんが、K220は販売終了っぽかったのと、K222が後継機種と思われるのでこちらにしました。店頭での比較はK220の話になります。


今は2チューナ対応は上記の後継機になってるみたいです。

画質:設定変更で自然な感じにできた 

 店頭と違い『スタンダードモード』が標準ですのでギラツキは抑えられた見やすい画質。ただ、そのままの設定では肌のアップでざわついた感じが気になりました。

 調整した所ノイズ低減MPEGノイズ低減をそれぞれにすることでかなり解消。眉毛がのっぺりした感じになるのも解消できます。ノイズリダクションをかけると不自然な印象になりますね。かけないと若干ノイジーになりますがこちらの方が自然で好きです。

映像設定メニュー
肌の不自然さなどは設定変更で改善できた

 アニメは液晶テレビの得意とするジャンルですが、直下型LEDが効いているのか鮮やかでキレイ。四隅がわずかに暗くなりますがあまり気にはならないです。

 また外付けレコーダーでアニメを圧縮録画した場合などMPEGノイズ低減だけ『』に設定すると結構効果あります。アニメの場合は質感が不自然にならずに効果的ですね。液晶テレビはノイズが目立ちやすいのでこの調整が個別に出来るのは助かります。

 解像度は1366×768でフルハイビジョンではありません。でも32インチですから十分な解像感。地デジの視聴では不満はありません。BDで『秒速5センチメートル』を視聴しましたが、文字に若干のジャギーを認識できる程度です。

 動画になっちゃうと劣化はわからないですね。並べて比較した訳じゃないですが。PCでの常用を考えないなら32型でフルハイビジョンは不要ですね。


音質:予想外に聴きやすい音質 

 これはかなり意外でした。薄型テレビは音質が悪いというのは一般的な認識だと思いますが格安TVですからなおさら期待していませんでした。

 でもこれが結構使えます。ハリのある中音域で結構聞きやすい。ピアノなんかもそれらしく聞かせます。高音も抜けが良く変な付帯音もありません。低音が出ないのは仕方ありませんが人の声がメインの番組なら外付けスピーカーを使わなくていいかな?と思うほどでした。

 もちろんもちろんHiFiオーディオを語れるレベルではありませんので、アニメなど気合いを入れて見る時は全く力不足です。アンプに繋いでFE-103Eから出力しますが、軽く見る時は内蔵スピーカーでも不満無いなと思いました。

ブレ・残像:ほとんど気にならない 

 昔の液晶テレビは残像が気になってイヤだったんですよね。本機は安いので倍速表示なんかありませんが十分許容範囲でした。店頭で見たときも他機種に比べて残像は少ない方だったのですが、横に流れるテロップ表示も読みやすいです。今の液晶パネルは進化してるんですね〜。

操作性:心配してたけど違和感なし 

 ここは結構心配していた所。中国製なので変な日本語が出たりとかしないかな・・・と思っていましたが、以前日本メーカーと共同開発した成果ですかね。かなり洗練されています。文字や表示も全く違和感ありません

 操作性も不満はありません。まあソニーほどは洗練されてはいませんが実家で使っている日立のWooo位の操作性ですね。今使っている三菱の古いHDDレコーダーよりはずっとモダンな操作性です。反応も良好で、チャンネル変更も1、2秒で許容範囲。番組表も見やすいし録画予約もカンタンです。

番組表の反応も問題なし


 ただしリモコンにはかなり不満が・・・!詳しくは後半で。

録画機能(再生機能):早見機能があって嬉しい! 

 1.3倍の音声付早送り(早見機能)があるのは嬉しい驚き。ホームページには記載が無かったのですが、これがあると本当に便利!諦めていたので非常にうれしかった。(再生ボタンの長押しで1.3倍速)

 録画中も再生可能で追っかけ再生もOK。だたし録画中の再生は音声付早送りは使用不可。ここはちょっと残念。

 CMカット機能はありません。最近のレコーダーはCMカットは搭載しなくなってしまいましたね。でも自動チャプター機能が標準です。CMのチャプターが自動で挿入されていますから、CMに入ったらスキップボタンで簡単に飛ばせます。チャプターの挿入タイミングはかなり精度が高いのでCM飛ばしは簡単です。

録画機能(裏録機能):やっぱり裏録は便利! 

 やはり2チューナーでよかったです。2チューナーというとW録画ができると思いがちですが、あくまでTVを見ながらの裏番組録画であって2番組同時録画はできないです。

 しかも、ウチではW録画対応のBD/HDDレコーダーも使っている。普通に考えるとW録画できないなら2チューナーの意味あるの?と思います。実は自分もそう思っていたのですが、でも実際に使ってみると2チューナーの便利さがよくわかります。

 外付けレコーダーの方はアニメなど保存を想定した録画として、TV録画の方はニュースや情報番組など見て消す番組に役割分担しました。そうすると夕飯後などTVを見る時間帯に録画する事が多いんですね。

 そうなるとシングルチューナー機では他の番組が見られない。もちろん録画番組をみるとか、レコーダーのチューナーを使ってみるとか方法はあります。しかし2チューナーならそういう面倒から解放される。そこが地味に楽です。

 外付けレコーダー同時使用の自分ですらそうなので、TVのみの人は相当制約されてしまうでしょうね。寝ている深夜不在の昼間の録画に限られる感じです。

 あるいは決まった番組だけを録ってタイムシフト的な視聴をするなら良いかもしれない。でも1チューナー機を買う場合は自分の用途に合うかよく考えた方が良いと思う。昔のビデオの様に使いたいなら2チューナー機を強くお勧めしたいですね。

外観デザイン:4本脚はスリムでキレイ   

 意外と決定打になったのがデザインスリムベゼルが一般的な現在ではTVのデザインに違いは見いだしにくいですがハイセンスのTVは数少ない4本脚。競合製品はすべて真ん中に太い1本脚のスタンドです。

細い4本脚のデザイン
安定していて掃除も簡単、かなり気に入ってます。

 1本足のデザインは接地面積が小さいので置き場が自由というメリットがあります。 でもスイーベル(首振り)機能がない固定脚では魅力も半減。大きな台座がPCモニタみたいで事務機っぽいんですよね。4本足は細脚で真下がスルーになりスリムベゼルと良く似合います。


 最後までDXアンテナ製品と迷っていたのですが、ここが最後の決め手になりました。

梱包状態・説明書:普通に良かった 

 当然ですが中国メーカーとはいえ梱包状態は普通で特に問題無し。説明書も昔は怪しげな体裁だったそうですが、本機はモノクロ印刷ですが、ごく普通に読みやすく日本メーカーと変わりないですね。本気で日本で販売しようとしている感じは伝わります。



その他の良かった点

 競合製品だったオリオン電機のブルーライト軽減機能は結構気になっていたんですよね。夜は青白い光は疲れます。リビングの蛍光灯も電球色を使ってます。

 なので夜は標準の色だとちょっと疲れるので映像モードをシネマモードに切り替えています。これだと色温度が下がってブルーライト軽減と似た感じになりますね。オリオンのような1ボタンとはいきませんが、メニューボタン一発目ですぐ映像設定メニューがくるので楽に変更できます。

 あと、録画用のUSBハードディスクは、玄人指向の格安2.5インチUSB2.0ケース(GW2.5SC-SU2)です。送料込み720円(購入当時)で延長ケーブルも同梱ってすごい安い!そこにMacBookから外した250GBのHDDを入れて使っています。250GB(0.25TB)で約20時間(地デジだと30時間位)録画可能です。


HDDを持っていない場合はUSB外付けHDDを購入します。
今は1〜3TBがお買い得ですが、
TV自体は2TBまで対応みたいですね(3TBも2TBしか認識しない)
紹介したBUFFALOの機種はハイセンスの動作確認リストの記載機種です。
その他の機種のリストはこちらのリンクから探せます。

残念な点・心配な点


リモコン:操作性は良いけど・・・形が 

 本機で最大の不満点はリモコンです。厳密に言うとリモコンの形状です。
操作性自体は結構良いです。ボタンは多いですが覚えてしまえばカンタンです。メニュー構成も気が利いています。



でも次のGIF動画を見てください。



 リモコンの重量バランスがおかしいんです。置いた状態では片手で操作が難しい。押そうとするとガタガタする。それだけなら良いんですが、ちょっと強く押そうとすると左右にひっくり返って押せない・・・。つまり、テーブルに置いた状態で使う事が想定されていないんです。

 手に持ったバランスは大変良好。デザインの段階で手に持った使い方しか考えてなかったんでしょうね。テーブルに置いた状態では他の指で抑えながら使用します。イライラするので今度自作の脚を作る予定です(笑)使い勝手自体は良いだけにホント残念。


ネットでの情報:ちょっと不足気味  

 また、説明書のダウンロードが出来ないのもどうかと思いました。買った後マニュアル見るまでは1.3倍速がある事がわかりませんでしたし。立派なマニュアルなんだからダウンロード出来るようにすれば良いのに。

一度だけ動作不良?:一瞬焦った

 購入して2日目に突然リモコンの反応が極端に悪くなりました・・・。電池交換しても変わらず、初期不良か?と思ったのですが、コンセントを抜いて数分待ってから再電源を入れると、何事も無かったかのように反応が戻りました
 今のテレビはパソコンみたいなものですからね。ソフト的な暴走だったんでしょう。これ以降10日以上経ちますが再現はありません。とりあえず初期不良では無いようです・・・。


まとめの感想


 中国メーカーのテレビといえば爆発がニュースになりましたね。でも、爆発したのはほとんどがスカイワース(創維)製だそうで、ハイセンス(海信)は5件のみだそうです(笑)(サーチナ テレビの爆発ランク…1位の「創維」、液晶製品も相変わらず=中国

 まあそれも2009年の話で、その後日本メーカーとの協力もあったとはいえ、ここまで品質を向上させたのかと正直びっくりしました。日本市場投入という事でそれなりのモノを供給している気はします。この製品からは粗悪品の印象はありませんでした。

 液晶テレビはPCと変わらないですよね。下請け工場から技術力をあげて生産量の力で市場を席巻していくというパターンなんでしょうね。
 PCやスマホの世界では、ASUS、Acer、BenQとかの台湾系メーカーの技術力の高さは既に知られているけれど、大陸系のHuawei、Xiaomi、Lenovoも世界的にシェアを増やしていますよね。

 ハイセンスも中国でトップシェアであるだけでなく、世界シェアではソニーと同じくらいの位置だそうで液晶パネルの調達力には自信があるようです。だから割安で高機能な製品を供給できるんだと納得。特にメニュー周りや録画機能などは、日本メーカーとの共同開発の成果か、かなり洗練されていたのが印象的でした。

 あとはまあ耐久性ですね。こればかりは未知数ですので5年補償のあるJoshin電機でなかったら躊躇っていたかもしれません。結論としては延長補償があるならかなり価格満足度の高い商品だと思います。(メーカー3年保証になったそうです:追記に詳細)


追記の経過報告(最終更新 2018/6/15)


 (追記1:2015/6/28
 購入から2ヶ月あまり経ちました。今のところ快調に使用しています。新たに感じた不満点としては、リモコンで電源入れた時の起動の遅さですかね。電源ランプが小さくて反応してるのか、してないのかわからないときがあります。
 でも省エネのために高速起動OFFにしているので仕方ないですね。不満ならONにするしかないと思います。

 同じように外付けHDD省電力設定にしているので、再生中に一時停止にしたまま何分も放置するとHDDがスリープに入っちゃうんですよね。スリープになった後に一時停止を解除するとHDDの起動が追いつかずに再生終了してしまうのがちょっと面倒かな。
 そういう場合は、一旦停止してから再生すると停止位置から再開してくれます。

 (追記2:2015/7/24
 『ハイセンス、テレビ全モデルの保証期間を1年から3年へ延長』というニュースがありましたね。8月1日以降に購入印のある製品すべてが対象となるそうです。購入するなら8月に入ってからですね!

 ハイセンスのような中国メーカーの一番の弱点は耐久性の心配ですからね。メーカー保証が3年となるとかなりハードルは下がるでしょうね。

 (追記3:2015/11/15
 なぜか、再生時のみ画面が拡大ズーム設定(スムーズ)になってしまいました。通常のフル画面設定に戻す方法がわかりましたので別投稿に記載しました。困っている方は参考にしてください。
(参考)ハイセンスの液晶テレビで、再生時の拡大スムーズ設定を解除する方法 - アニメとスピーカーと‥
追記4:2018/6/15
 購入から3年が過ぎました。今もメインで使っています。幸い重大な故障はありません。細かい点では数ヶ月に一度くらい『B-CASカードが挿入されていません』みたいな表示が出ることがあります。差し直してやればすぐ戻るのですが面倒なのでカードの蓋は外しています。

 あと、3年弱くらいの頃に、外付けHDDのデータが飛んでしまいました(泣)これはTVの問題というより、小さい容量(250GB)ギリギリの状態で使い続けたせいかなぁと思います。初期化してまた使っていますが今の所ふつうに使えてます。

 保存用の番組は外付けレコーダーで録画しているので、TVのHDDは見て消し番組が多かったので痛手は少なかったです。でも未見番組もあったので残念でした。あまり容量ギリギリで使わないように気をつけるか、容量の余裕のあるHDDにしたほうがいいですね。



今は上記の後継機になってるみたいです。
