Takashi's personal blog。Not just about paintings、What I think about every day、what you feel、I write whatever comes to mind。This blog is the third generation。From the beginning, it has been over 20 years.。 2023From January 1st、For now, I decided to just write on odd numbered days.。I'm going to think about my future direction and other things piece by piece.。

“Safety and security” and “O・Mo・ten・na・shi”

Japanese white radish

Even with beautiful words、Why does it seem so dirty when politicians say it?。

The word Olympics itself is not a particularly beautiful word.、I never felt as if I had fallen to the ground as much as I do now.。Former Prime Minister postponed the Olympics for a year, calling for the Olympics to be held in a perfect manner.。Prime Minister Suga, who has declared that he will inherit that direction as faithfully as possible, is particular about the Olympics.、It's only natural that it's a public promise, so to speak.、The Prime Minister himself once said that he was moved by the Olympics.、Drag down what should be、Trampling、The person who is making it unclean is the person in question.、They probably don't realize that "safety and security" is repeated like an idiot's memorization.。In order to hold the event, we will not look back on “peace of mind” or “safety.”、Unusually unsympathetic、empty words。

“O・Mo・T・Na・Shi” is、A beautiful newscaster who can speak French、This is the word used in the Olympic bid campaign speech.。I remember that the message was that "hospitality" is a beautiful part of Japanese culture.、In modern Japan, ``hospitality'' means ``only superficiality'' or ``even if you have the desire, you don't have the money.''、It's a bunka (=cultural?) way of saying it.、most people feel。There was no way we would have known about the current coronavirus pandemic at the time.、If this disaster didn't happen、If many foreigners were visiting Japan、What is the “O・Mo・N・Shi” culture?、lots of、It will definitely be a memory that will never disappear。Ever since I heard her speech, I thought it was a bad way to say it.、It's so embarrassing that it's now a word that ordinary people can't use.。

Opening ceremony in 3 weeks、I don't remember it until I hear it on the news.、The Olympics in Tokyo are both near and far away.。more than done、Regardless of the past、It's a natural feeling to want players to do their best.。But、If the athletes perform well (in other words, if they win a lot of medals)、Our points will go up for holding the event.、If there are politicians who take a dismissive view of the players and the people,、I want to remind you that that is wrong.。The goal of an individual athlete may be a medal.。But、which country、to any player、I want them to demonstrate their abilities (I don't care about medals)、Many people honestly desire。Even those honest feelings、It seems like politicians are trying to take advantage of it again.。Be wary of both “safety and security” and “O・Mo・ten・na・shi”、Be careful。

Today is Tanabata

Today is Tanabata。I remembered it until noon today.、By the evening, I had completely forgotten。I happened to hear it on the news after 11pm.、I finally remembered。-Sketch from 2 weeks ago。

My past and present、I've been thinking about how I can express myself in a way that best suits me.、It's almost 30 years since I've been going around forever。I can't believe it、really。

music

I like music。every day、I've been listening to it for quite some time。My favorite genres are classical and rock、And folk music from around the world、Wonder。However, my knowledge of music is extremely limited.。I don't know anything about popular singers right now.、I don't know what songs are popular、Of course I can't remember the name of the song.。I still listen to it, so I guess I like it.、to the extent that。

The only way I listen is to keep the radio playing。BGM while doing something else。When you understand the meaning, your consciousness will flow in that direction.、No Japanese songs。So non-Japanese music。When I get tired of music, I keep the BBC news on.。My wife is astonished and says, ``I thought you understood because you always listen to English.''、Apart from the fact that I'm not good at English、It's not news because they're broadcasting it because they don't want to take away the meaning of the words.。It's just flowing as random noise.。“Noise” is never a waste、It's an important "sound"。It is often easier to concentrate when there is noise.。At that time, I couldn't hear it at all.、There is meaning in that。

Because that's the way I listen to it、For example, it has nothing to do with the message of the lyrics.。melody and rhythm、I listen to it just for the atmosphere.。But? that's why? Rhythm has a lot of influence、choose a little。If it suits the production and work, things will go smoothly.。If you go too far, you may end up going in the wrong direction.。I get irritated when it doesn't fit。That's when "noise" comes into play.、That's why。If it still feels noisy, turn off the radio.。But、The moment you turn off the radio, you can hear the sounds of the world.。in a sense、This is the loudest、It's a hindrance。many people listen to music、Maybe it's to block out this noisy "world".。

I also recently learned the ``Natural Sound'' channel.。Apparently, the questioner thinks that "the concrete result of sketching" brings fun.、Not suitable for BGM。Good time to sleep。
