A farce called "Torch Relay"

The "Torch Relay" campaign for the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics, which is one year behind, began at J-Village in Fukushima Prefecture.。I started in Fukushima prefecture、The former Abe administration, which advocated the "Reconstruction Olympics,"、This is to appeal to the inside and outside that the influence of the nuclear power plant is all Under Control (actually, even after 10 years.、It does not stand even the prospect of taking out the debris, but)。

I watched the video of the "Torch Relay" event in Fukushima Prefecture on the Internet.。The beginning is a huge bus of Coca-Cola Company。Behind them, the buses of sponsor companies line up one after another.、Employees or volunteers dressed in red waving their hands along the road and running around、Distribute PET bottles to people who line up and applaud。I don't know where the essential runners are。What on earth is this "mere stupid fuss"?。Why this happens。Why aren't NHK and other major media outlets reporting this as it is?。

There is only one reason。The Olympics and Paralympics are not for athletes and sports lovers、Not at all for "proof of overcoming corona"、Because it's all in the interests of sponsors and IOC officials.。More than half of the people question or oppose the current Olympics、While some countries have withdrawn from participating in the event under Corona as it does not benefit the health of the athletes.、With the departure of the "Torch Relay," which can be said to be a push、This is the first event of a sponsor company。Awareness of sponsor companies that "at least want to pay for advertising expenses"、The true intention of the IOC, who wants to get a huge broadcasting rights fee, is clearly revealed.。

Drop the beautiful sound of "the torch" on the ground、This ugly event that tramples even more double and triple、It can be said that it is an act of desecrating sports as much as possible.。The IOC will take the lead in waving the flag、It is nothing but the philosophical suicide of the IOC itself。Oh dear、You probably realize that such a philosophy has no meaning other than the advertising effect.。The biggest victims are the players。Organizing Committee and Sponsors、Between the people、I think I'm in a situation where I can hardly say what I really mean。The word "torch" is appropriate for athletes。Don't let the money dead。Not a "torch relay"、At best, it should be called something like "Olympic sponsorship relay"。Under such circumstances、How to enjoy the Tokyo Olympics、I have no choice but to throw my brain into muddy water。

10 years since the Great East Japan Earthquake

Model for March 11th

10 years since the Great East Japan Earthquake。I started this blog right after the earthquake ("Aoi Kamome" itself started as a homepage).、3rd generation on this blog。(Already over 20 years) It will also be 10 years。

Everyone sympathizes with (and not only) the victims of the Great East Japan Earthquake.、Have a desire to help as much as possible。it can be believed。But、Touching on disaster reports from various places、Every time I think about it, I feel like the pain in my chest increases.。The forces of nature that are beyond the control of disaster victims、The poverty of the aid system there、That's the essence of pain。

The phrase ``Japan is a disaster-prone country'' also spills from the corners of politicians' mouths every time.。Rescue goods and medical technology are advancing.。But、The system is basically the same as it was in the Edo period.。Evacuation centers have changed from temples and shrines to gymnasiums.、Old clothes have been turned into blue sheets and disaster blankets.。So pitiful、I feel sorry for you、It ends at the emotional level of patience (though of course it's better than not having any friction at all)。In addition to playing innocent words such as "snuggling" and gentle music,、Is it not possible to come up with a way of thinking that will lead to more concrete results?。Consideration for human rights, etc.、In fact, it seems that it has deteriorated since the Edo period.。

engineer、Not only natural scientists、We need active opinions from experts in all fields.。Currently, only a small number of experts are waiting for advice from the government and leaders.、It seems like they are just stating a direction that is in line with their wishes.。we also think more、make a statement、have to move them。It is important to have this awareness、It is a sport that is firmly connected to the essence of current sports.。Every time I hear the word "reconstruction"、Is it ``attracting people'' or ``revitalizing the economy''?、I feel like the words have been replaced with words that sound like an election campaign or a gathering in a shopping district.。There is no discussion on the specific form of the goal.、It feels like only the emotional image of “reconstruction” is taking precedence.。I hope that the feeling of despair will not change, “Was this what was meant to be reconstruction?”。

beginning of spring

"The Beginning of Spring" (CG)

It's a collage-like effect.。What is “collage”?、Disparate photos and newspaper articles that at first glance don't make sense、Attach a piece of cloth etc. to the screen、Pasted things and things、The theme of the screen (?) is psychological、Aiming for an effect that connects abstractly、One of the techniques of modern painting。

to be honest、This effect was not necessarily what we were aiming for from the beginning.、unfortunately。I'm not used to the new drawing software yet.、While I was doing this and that, I suddenly came up with it.。The lower bones are reused (!) from a drawing from a few days ago.。

The state of emergency has been extended for one month.。They say there are less than 500 people in Tokyo and less than 300 people in Osaka.、In the first place, wouldn't the best and shortest path be to give PCR tests to all citizens?。Rather than spending a huge amount of money (all pre-tax loans) on subsidies, etc.、The people can understand、Isn't it possible that the cost will be less after that?。It's not that everyone can't get tested.、I guess you don't want to do it。If we could vaccinate all citizens、There's no way you can't even do a test.。It's easier to test、I don't think it's too late now。

It doesn't make sense for me to be ready to do GO TO again after I feel relieved.。Step on the accelerator or brake、I don't know what I want to do。Do a PCR test as much as possible、Get the facts first、Every country does this, so why is it different in Japan?。Do you think you can take effective measures without knowing the facts?。without basic thinking、However, I can't help but feel like they are doing "politics that annoys the people" by going back and forth.。Today is the first day of spring on February 3rd in 129 years.。
