It’s fuckin’ cold Tokyo, isn’t it?
On the day like it, I try not to think it’s cold.
I say to myself it’s not cold.
And I bought a can of coffee.
Of course it’s hot one.
But soon after I opened it, it was getting cold.
The naked trees looked like cold.
Cold cold cold

Japanese Lyrics
以前から図書館で本を借りることが多かったのですが、
最近は、CDを借りまくっています。
僕はここ10年くらい、邦楽をあまり聞かなかったんだけど
最近、ワークアウトの時にしか音楽をじっくり聞く時間がなく、
走ってる時にむずかしい音楽を聞くのもなんなので、
そんなとき、邦楽がピッタリなんです。
もう、それこそサザンとか浜田省吾とか尾崎豊とか
メチャメチャメジャーのCDを聞いてます。
そうするとね、気合い入れて音楽聞いていた時には感じなかった
「あ〜、音楽っていいな」
っていう気持ちがダイレクトに感じられて面白いです。
「あ〜、英語の詞にこだわってきたけど、日本語の詞もいいじゃん」
とかね。
I’ve rented a lot of books from library as you well know.
These days I’ve been renting many CDs.
I didn’t listen to the Japanese songs for 10 years or so.
But lately I’ve been listen to those ones.
I only have time to be with music while I’m running.
I don’t like listening to difficult ones when I do the running.
So I like Japanese ones because they’re really simple.
Of course one of the reason is I’m Japanese.
I’ve tried difficult music because I wanted to up my skills and I liked it.
But to tell the truth, while I listen to Japanese songs, I remember the day I started to listen to the music and I remember that music is important thing for me.
I feel that Japanese lyrics are good.
OK. I told you that I bought PC with digital TV tuner.
And I told you that I had a lot of trouble until we can use it.
But everything’s been OK these days.
We enjoy watching TV on new PC.
but I still have one problem about it.
This is a Remote controller for the PC of TV.
There are a lot of buttons and I hardly use it.
I always mistake the play button for the decide button.
Because I’ve been using the Apple products and they are easy to use, I have to think about the simple question.
“How could they make the thing like this?”
Every morning I read the Bible on my iPhone at the rest room.
It’s my daily task.
It takes five minutes or so.
And I only can read about five sentences.
But sometimes I am moved by their phrases.
By the way, the bible I read is bilingual version that I can read by English and Japanese.
So it’s also my English teacher.
どうでもよいことは流行に従い/小津安二郎
どうでもよいことは流行に従い
重大なことは道徳に従い
芸術のことは自分に従う
小津安二郎
If you believe that it’s not important, conform to the fashion.
If you believe that it’s really important, observe a rule.
If you believe that it’s an art, let yourself go.
