Falling behind the times

"Hurry up a little bit" watercolor F4

When I drew the picture I posted on my blog the other day、I took some photos along the way.、I tried connecting it。For the past six months, my mind has been occupied with "video" and its editing.、Anyway, take as many photos as possible along the way.。

While walking、The word "don't miss out" comes from the earphones.、caught in my ear。A certain businessman says, ``I do ○○ to keep up with the trends of the times.''、I think it was something that would normally be ignored.、“The waves of the times、If you were in the midst of those waves, would you understand?”、My usual rebellious spirit、In particular, it seems that he has “saved” those words.。

Maybe、Things I'm currently worried about when editing videos、Is it to ride the "waves of the times"? In my own history of painting, the ``age of painting'' has already ended.。I remember writing that in some article.。However, I am still drawing pictures.、Has the era of painting already ended? it is、Because I feel that ``painting is my destiny.''。No matter how outdated、It can't be helped if it's fate、そう考えているからだ。- Then、Why videos now?。

For one thing, computers have become easier.、This is because “moving pictures = moving images” are within your reach (?)。The world is full of videos。The world of video that could only be accessed by specialized companies such as TV companies.、young people use smartphones、Instagram、YouTube etc.、I write it casually, like writing a diary.。Even if it's not oil paint、Even if it's not watercolor paint、Let's paint with our new paints。I feel like that's what they're saying。In that case, I would also like to try drawing with new tools.。But、Is thinking that way a mentality of not wanting to catch up with the times?、I can't decide now。(Currently it's still not good at all)、If I try a little harder, I can also use "new paint"、Maybe I can draw a new picture of myself again.、I'm somehow holding on to hope。

8The 15th of the month is "Defeat Memorial Day"。

"Athletic Field" 2020 Tempera F10

If you write "Defeat Day"、It seems like there will always be complaints。Nowadays, just doing so can get you labeled as "anti-Japanese."。The word “losing” has that much impact.。Japanese people (and I think it's probably the same in other countries as well) like the phrase "hate to lose."。

Have you ever heard of a racehorse called "Haru Urara"? Although it was mainly set at Kochi Racecourse.、Record: 113 consecutive losses (0 wins)。Lifetime prize money is 1,129,000 yen。I couldn't win a single game, but、Because of consecutive losses、spark a kind of boom、2016Apparently it was made into an American movie in 2015.。Even if I keep losing consecutively、The sight of him running desperately every time must have tickled his competitive spirit.。

by being a loser、When a person's personality and thoughts appear for the first time、i am thinking。In that sense、Everyone needs the experience of losing。A person who doesn't know how to lose、i can't trust。By “losing”、I also believe that true “wisdom” appears to people for the first time.。A great way to lose、There is such a thing as a beautiful way to lose.。A simple example is high school baseball.。There are countless examples of losers being more ``bright'' than the winners.。

It is not possible to simply compare、The way Japan lost in the previous match was ugly.。That's because I was poor in thought before I was in quantity.、The fact that we still do not try to understand this even after the war is、The problem continues to expand further.。By treating defeat as “defeat”、record the whole picture、Unless you face it head-on、human-like、I don't think it will ever be possible to acquire a ``meaningful way to lose.''。“I hate losing” too、Only by standing on it、美しいのである

What is the “new normal”?

*The following is from a private blog from June.。7I thought it would be meaningful to look back and look at it from today, the 31st of the month.。

It's starting to look like the coronavirus is starting to come under control.、June。The words “new daily life” and “new lifestyle” are being used in the internet space.、It's starting to flicker and blur my field of vision.。

Via “Dentsu”、Government/administrative events、propaganda is carried out openly。Mr. Abe said, ``Each industry has、There are companies that are good at each.”。Of course, that is the reason why companies exist.。But、Among the many companies、If you choose this company because it is particularly good,、at least more than tax money、You'll have to tell us what's better than other companies.。why the media、Why don't you ask the Prime Minister what is the particularly good point about it?。probably、I guess it means "in the industry" and "I understand".。I guess this is what we call "intellectual"、in the industry。Well then、Do you think the people are "non-intellectual"?。

Apparently "new lifestyle" means "with coronavirus"。The “old-fashioned” feel of this catchphrase is as expected.。``Beautiful country、It's a little newer than Japan.、I wouldn't go so far as to say that this is a ``proposal based on the current situation'' of a national advertising production company.。Moreover,、Even if it makes no sense、It is very similar to the "100 Million Gyokusai" campaign during the Pacific War.。What can you protect by destroying 100 million coins?、It's ridiculous that what happens after the ball is crushed is not shown at all.、Why did “100 million” follow?。To the youth of a generation ago、``Renown'''s ``Simple Life'' has given a new style.、Recently went bankrupt。Renown's "Simple life"、政府の「New life style」のどっちが新しいか国民のセンスを試しているわけだね?

in short、①もう休業手当てはしませんそんな金もう税金には残っていませんがそれでも欲しいというならあなた方の子孫から借金しますよ(という脅し)  ②コロナにかかるかどうかは自分次第だから「自衛」してね(内閣を批判した天罰) ③国民なんかより目先の選挙が何より優先です(何がなんでも憲法改正) ってメッセージですね

「新しい生活様式」ってなんですか?なぜ「新しい生活様式」が必要になるのですか?それがどのように私たちのためになるんですか?
