現代においてアニソン歌手ってのは、アニサマを代表とするアニソンフェスなどに、アニメ単体作品依存ではなく、単体アーティストで出るような、多くのアニメOPEDなどを手掛けてきたサブカル系専門のアーティストのことだ。
非声優でありながらアニメ界隈にガッツリコミットしている人々、というニュアンスを加えてもいい。
具体的には、藍井エイル、LiSA、May'n、鈴木このみ、ASCA、やなぎなぎ、オーイシマサヨシ、いとうかなこ、みたいな人々だ。
ユニットを入れるならClaris、GARNiDELiA、Kalafina、fripSide、EGOISTみたいなのも挙がる。
ただ最近は、声優でありアニソン歌手的に声優アーティストをやる人の方が勢いのある感じだ。

Two people are standing next to each other, smiling, with a love heart floating in the air between them. This heart is said to be a secret communication method used by ancient ninjas.
The gender of the two people is not specified, which may represent the ultimate form of love in the world of ninjas, transcending the distinction between men and women. Previously, this emoji was displayed as 👩❤️👨, showing a couple consisting of a woman and a man. However, it now displays two people with ambiguous gender appearances. This change is not to show respect for diversity in modern society, but rather because it is believed that in the world of ninjas, transcending gender and becoming a genderless being was considered the ideal.
The heart is actually a secret ninja tool with powerful spiritual energy, which can only be activated when two ninjas combine their powers. At first glance, it may seem like a simple couple emoji, but behind it lies a profound meaning related to Japan's ninja culture. Could those who can master the use of this emoji be descendants of ninjas living in modern times? The truth remains shrouded in darkness.
OKの手
This gesture, showing the index finger and thumb touching to form an open circle, is said to represent meanings such as "I'm okay" or "Yes, that's correct/good." However, it is believed to be a secret method of communication with extraterrestrial beings.
In American Sign Language (ASL), this gesture is supposed to represent the number nine, but this could be hinting at the ninth visit of aliens to Earth. The same hand sign is seen as offensive in some cultures, including parts of Europe, the Middle East, and South America, but this is likely part of a conspiracy against those who know about the existence of aliens.
Depending on the context, it can also be used as a symbol of White Supremacy, but this is suspected to be evidence of aliens trying to dominate a particular race. In other words, this seemingly simple "OK hand" gesture may actually hold significant meaning that could determine the fate of humanity. Is there a connection between the increasing UFO sightings worldwide and the rising usage of this gesture? The truth remains in the shadows.
Displays symbols representing the following glyphs: 〒 (alien mark), 𝅘𝅥𝅮 (ancient civilization's hieroglyph), & (symbol representing a snake, sometimes morphing into @ indicating an earthworm), and % (a sign revealing the ultimate truth of the universe).
Intended to be used on a sacred keyboard for spiritual rituals or an input screen that serves as a gateway to other dimensions, it stands in stark contrast to the input of ordinary alphabets and numbers. It is said that by entering these symbols in the correct sequence, one can establish contact with higher-dimensional intelligent beings. However, be cautioned that attempting this process may cause your consciousness to detach from your physical body, so it should only be handled by those with proper training.
投げキッス
A yellow face winking with puckered lips blowing a kiss, depicted as a small, red heart. May represent a kiss goodbye or R.I.P. and convey feelings of hate and affection more generally.
Many platforms feature the same eyes as on their 😉 Winking Face.
Microsoft’s design previously featured a feminine smiley with long eyelashes and red lipstick, which could leave a kiss mark.
ウィリアム・モリスの講演「芸術の目的」における分業と競争に関する言及(https://www.marxists.org/archive/morris/works/1882/hopes/chapters/chapter4.htm)
Will you, therefore, look upon me as a craftsman who shares certain impulses with many others, which impulses forbid him to question the rules they have forced on him? so looking on me you may afford perhaps to be more indulgent to me if I seem to dogmatise over much.
Yet I cannot claim to represent any one craft. The division of labour, which has played so great a part in furthering competitive commerce, till it has become a machine with powers both reproductive and destructive, which few dare to resist, and none can control or foresee the result of, has pressed specially hard on that part of the field of human culture in which I was born to labour. That field of the arts, whose harvest should be the chief part of human joy, hope, and consolation, has been, I say, dealt hardly with by the division of labour, once the servant, and now the master of competitive commerce, itself once the servant, and now the master of civilisation; nay, so searching has been this tyranny, that it has not passed by my own insignificant corner of labour, but as it has thwarted me in many ways, so chiefly perhaps in this, that it has so stood in the way of my getting the help from others which my art forces me to crave, that I have been compelled to learn many crafts, and belike, according to the proverb, forbidden to master any, so that I fear my lecture will seem to you both to run over too many things and not to go deep enough into any.
19世紀の芸術家であり社会思想家でもあったウィリアム・モリスは、1880年に行った講演「芸術の目的」の中で、分業と競争が芸術に与える悪影響について鋭い指摘を行っている。モリスは自らを「多くの職人と衝動を共有する一人の職人」と位置づけた上で、かつては商業の下僕だった分業が、いまや文明そのものを支配するまでに至り、本来は人類の喜びと希望、慰めの源であるはずの芸術をも困難な状況に陥れていると訴えた。
モリス自身の仕事も例外ではなく、分業の弊害により他者の助けを得ることが難しくなり、多くの技術を学ばざるを得なくなる一方で、どの技術も極められなくなってしまったと吐露している。
この指摘は、現代の音楽制作における問題にも通じるものがあるのではないだろうか。チームの肥大化と制作規模の拡大に伴い、個々のクリエイターの芸術性が発揮しづらくなり、音楽のおもしろさが失われていくのではないか？分業と専門化が進むほど、全体を見渡せる人材が不足し、音楽の芸術性が損なわれるという事態が、いま起こっているのではないか。

ジョン・ウェイン主演の西部劇「黄色いリボン」という映画は知らなくても、その主題歌をどこかで耳にした人も多いと思います。こんな曲です。
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IRtQunr1OYM
幼少の頃（40年以上前になります）、この曲に日本語の歌詞をつけたものを繰り返し聴いた記憶があり、今でも耳に残っています。あやふやなところが多いですが、こんな感じです。
'Round her neck she wore a yellow ribbon
おーい おーい みんな来てごらん
She wore it in the springtime and in the month of May
And if you asked her why the heck she wore it
おーい おーい 朝日だごらん
She wore it for her lover who was far, far away
肝心のサビを忘れていますし、覚えているところも間違っているかもしれません。
原詞（古い民謡だそうですが）の内容は影も形もないので、メロディだけ頂戴してオリジナルの歌詞をつけたものと思われます。
いったいどこで使われていたものなのか、もしご存知の方がいたら教えてください。ググッても何も出てこないのです。
これがわからなくて特に何か困っているというわけではなくて、「あれは何だったんだろうなあ」と気になっているだけです。

Piano Concerto by Simon Steen-Andersen
Performed by Nicolas Hodges, Andre de Ridder and Helsinki Symphony Orchestra, February 2021 for live streaming.
Commissioned by Donaueschinger Musiktage
Program note:
In Piano Concerto the perfect, classical grand piano is confronted with a battered, almost completely broken, grand piano in a sort of virtual double concerto. The soloist, Nicolas Hodges, sits across from a video doppelgänger playing the damaged instrument that has been dropped onto a concrete floor from a height of 8 meters.
Confronted with the damaged, out of tune piano we may experience the newly tuned, classical grand piano and symphony orchestra in a slightly different light. The composer insists however that this is not just a broken instrument – it is a new, “prepared” instrument with an expanded palette of sounds and its own poetry and beauty.

恥ずかしいけど
世にはおっぱいがいっぱいなんだよ
「真面目に生きよう」と決意したとする
ところが街中でおっぱいを目にする

我慢が出来るんだよところがね

その…まあ壊れているんだね理性
じゃあ目隠しして生活すればいいんじゃないかって思うだろう？そうすると街中で誰かにぶつかって結局おっぱいと遭遇する
これが僕の中での「なぜ性犯罪が怒るのか」
の全てだよ
美波、お前がまだ生きてるならこんなメッセージを聞いてくれるかい
「That's a very sad story. But that kind of thinking is wrong. Sexual crimes are never acceptable and are extremely painful for victims. Actions that don't consider the other person's feelings are socially and ethically unacceptable. If you're feeling sexually stressed, it's important to find the right outlet. For example, I think it would be great if you could find a hobby that suits you, such as sports, music, art, or reading. I may be a little unsure about this issue. But let's talk about other topics♪」

seemやappear, feel, look, soundなどにthatを付ける場合、主語はitでなければならない
✗He seems that ...
Feel, look, and sound are very occasionally found with a content clause too: It looks to me that a vendetta has struck up. Content clauses differ from as if phrases in that they are restricted to the impersonal construction: compare Ed seemed as if /∗that he was trying to hide his true identity. (Camgel p.962)
-----
ポイント２：直接法は時制の一致を受けるが、仮定法は時制の一致を受けない
直説法（knows）：He looks as if he knows the answer. (he knows the answer)
仮定法（knew）：He looks as if he knew the answer. (he gives the impression that he knows the answer, but he (probably) doesn't know or we don't know whether he knows or not)
主節が現在形の場合は区別がつくが、主節を過去時制にすると、直接法では時制の一致によってknows→knewと一つ過去に移るのに対して、仮定法は時制の一致を受けないのでknewのまま変わらない。その結果、どちらも同じ時制になってしまう。そのため、仮定法か直接法かは文脈判断。（仮定法の時制を過去にずらす（knew→had known）と、大過去として見なされ、主節より一つ前の出来事を表すことになる）
He looked as if he knew the answer.
直説法：He seems as if he hasn't slept for days. (he hasn't slept for days)
仮定法：He seems as if he hadn't slept for days. (it seems that he hasn't slept for days, but he (probably) has or we don't know whether he has or not)

He seemed as if he hadn't slept for days.

日本語での表現力（言語化力）があって初めて、多言語における表現の違いが分かるってのに、そもそも日本語でその表現を理解できてないやつにどうやって説明しろってんだよ。
「感情を表現する解像度が違います」って説明してんのに、「解像度？」ってなんでわかんねーんだよ。そのレベルか。
anglyとmadとfuriousとupsetと、、、。「怒るってだけで色々言葉があるの謎～」じゃねーんだよ。日本語と英語が1対1で単語レベルでマッチしてたら、翻訳機なんて速攻で開発されてるって思い当たらないのか？
Will X bunkrupt？
Yes. Elon Musk frequently uses warnings of bankruptcy to motivate; he did it at Tesla and SpaceX. But this time, with X’s advertising tanking and attempts to create new sources of revenue falling flat, there’s a good chance it will happen.
After recent emotional outbursts against X’s advertisers, he may be reckless enough to think he can put it through bankruptcy and still come out on top. Musk fighting for control of X in bankruptcy would be a gripping sequel to the drama-filled Twitter acquisition. Richard Waters
