はてなキーワード: AIRとは
「ジョーダン」「ナイキ」「エアジョーダン」などをタイトルに使えない制約はありそう
エアジョーダンのことをエアジョーダンって言ってるの日本人だけなんだからAIRじゃ日本人には伝わらんだろってな
最近は配信化が早すぎる、とも思うのだが今作はアマプラが製作してる映画なのでアマプラ配信用の作品の出来がいいので劇場でもやろうか、的なやつかもしれない。
キャスト陣は人気のベテランを揃えている。中高年層歓喜のキャスティングだ。
「AIR」と聞くとなにを思い浮かべるか。
日本語版を見ると流石日本語、小さな文字で伝説のシューズだとか説明されているが、これでもピンと来る人は少ないだろう。
例えば「ゴースト」という映画があったがあのサブタイトル「ニューヨークの幻」みたいなのは日本だけの題だ。
「AIR」もそうするべきだったと思う。
つけるならどんな感じだろうか。
とかそういうのだ。ポスターにナイキのロゴ使うのは無理だったのか。無理か。それは仕方ない。
ださいと言う人も居るだろうが本国ではやってるであろうプロモーションを日本ではやってないんだから、タイトルで宣伝すべきだ。
内容はかなり良い。良作部類だ。
しかしやはり作品自体を知ってもらわないと意味がないと実感する。
それこそ老人会がよく言う「Airが好きだろ」だとか「東鳩のマルチで泣く」っていうネタが出るけど、現代の人にわかるよう説明するならどの作品に切り替わるんだよ
まさかYU-NOだとかもっと古い作品を出すわけないだろうな？
想定される案
こんな風になった日本なんか無くなっちゃえばいいと思っているんだから、今地震がいっぱい起こってるんでしょ？
諦めナ
ソ連式のちゃんとした戦争ってのはな、機甲戦力（つまり戦車隊）に敵の前線陣地を食い破らせ余勢が止まるまで走らせて、その傷口にさらに新鮮な第２弾の機甲戦力（第二梯団、記事中では第二梯隊と表記）をぶち込んで敵が死ぬまでそれを繰り返し続けるんだよ。
生身の歩兵を陣地にぶち当ててちまちま抜いてくことじゃないんだよ。
やれやれ「機甲戦力」ではなく「諸兵科連合」であることがГлубокая операцияの肝です

Chapter 5 A Look at Soviet Deep Operations
Maj. Elvis E. Blumenstock, US Marine Corps
Of these theories, one of the more significant is the theory of deep battle (a tactical measure) and deep operations (a more complex operational measure).
Tukhachevsky continued to refine his concept of successive operations.
By 1926, he wrote:
Modern operations involve the concentration of forces necessary to strike a blow, and the infliction of continual and uninterrupted blows of these forces against the enemy throughout an extremely deep area. . . .
Battle in a modern operation stretches out into a series of battles not only along the front but also in depth until that time when either the enemy has been struck by a final annihilating blow or when the offensive forces are exhausted.
The Field Regulation of 1936 defined deep operations as:
Simultaneous assault on enemy defenses by aviation and artillery to the depths of the defense, penetration of the tactical zone of the defense by attacking units with widespread use of tank forces, and violent development of tactical success into operational success with the aim of the complete encirclement and destruction of the enemy.
According to Tukhachevsky, deep operations objectives included operational reserves, army headquarters, major communication sites, airfields,
The Soviet concept expected both fronts and armies to conduct deep operations.
It expected a front to attack to depths of 150–250 kilometers and an army to attack to depths of 70 to 100 kilometers.
Operational formations consisted of an attack echelon, an exploitation echelon (mobile group), reserves, aviation, and airborne forces.
By 1936, the Soviets had created new mobile units to spearhead deep operations and fielded airborne units to cooperate with exploitation forces.
Mobile groups of tank, mechanized, and cavalry corps composed these exploitation forces.
The concept also placed a strong emphasis on air defense by aviation and air defense artillery.
The general pattern for the conduct of deep operations changed little after 1943.
Offensive operations depended on maneuver.
Each front had a mobile group of one to three tank armies; each army had a mobile group of one to two tank or mechanized corps. Fronts routinely attacked to depths of 150 to 300 kilometers, armies to depths of 100 to 150 kilometers.
Operational pursuit was important and occurred both day and night at high tempo.
Typically, first echelon forces penetrated the tactical defenses.
The mobile group then attacked into the enemy rear to “perform the mission of creating conditions for developing tactical success into operational, and sometimes into operational-strategic.”
Mobile groups were not simply second echelon forces.
Mobile groups had specific missions that included the following:
1) defeating enemy operational reserves (one of the main missions),
2) encircling enemy forces,
3) fixing enemy reserves in place,
4) occupying important objectives for follow-on forces,
5) pursuing a retreating enemy,
6) disrupting command and control,
7) disorganizing the enemy rear
The campaign plan the General Staff designed to fulfill the operational strategy was simple, yet bold.
The Transbaikal Front was to make the main attack, driving from Mongolia through Manchuria and preventing Japanese reinforcement from northern China.
This attack would maneuver into the Japanese rear.
The 1st Far Eastern Front was the primary supporting attack.
It was to outflank the Japanese in the east, prevent reinforcement
from Japan, and attack the major command and control centers and transportation nodes located at Harbin and Kirin.
After these two Fronts had converged in the Mukden, Changchun, Harbin, and Kirin areas of south central Manchuria, they would advance together to crush the final Japanese resistance and capture Port Arthur, an important naval base in the south.
The 2nd Far Eastern Front was to fix Japanese forces in the north.
The use of maneuver by the Soviets enhanced the surprise their deception caused.
Over 41 percent of the Soviet forces conducted the main attack along the Transbaikal Front, which faced the weakest Japanese forces.
Designed to envelop the entire Kwantung Army, the Soviets desired this Front to maneuver into the Japanese rear, attack key command centers and transportation nodes, and prevent reinforcement from northern China.
Retreating Japanese units found themselves facing the Soviet main attack.
The Soviets designed the main supporting attack, the 1st Far
Eastern Front, to envelop Japanese forces from the East and to attack key command centers and transportation nodes.
All levels down to divisions relied on maneuver, particularly in the Transbaikal Front.
Powerful, fast-moving, combined-arms advanced detachments outflanked Japanese defensive positions and operated deep in the Japanese rear seeking command and control sites.
They bypassed, isolated, and later reduced Japanese strongpoints. This enabled the main fighting forces to continue to move and not get bogged down into set-piece battles.
Soviet units achieved rapid momentum, which made Japanese efforts to move into defensive positions futile.
Synchronization was a critical aspect of this campaign. A few important examples are as follows:
1) The main feature of this campaign is the employment of integrated combined-arms. Ground, sea, and air forces were mutually supporting.
Requirements determined specific force adjustments.
The net effect was an integrated, responsive, all-purpose military. This close coordination helped ensure success.
2) Soviet forces attacked on every possible axis simultaneously on all fronts.
They synchronized these movements with aerial reconnaissance, deep interdiction strikes, and airborne assaults and amphibious landings on key objectives in the enemy center, rear, and flanks.
This pinned down Japanese forces along the entire length of the front. Japanese commanders were unable to determine which effort was the main attack.
The use of high speed advances and maneuver to bypass and isolate Japanese defenses left Japanese commanders confused and off-balance.
Moreover, Japanese commanders were unable to regroup, retaliate, or counterattack effectively because of the physical separation.
The Manchurian Campaign remains a subject of intensive study by Soviet military professionals.
They view this campaign as the successful application of Tukhachevsky’s deep operations theory.
In particular, the success of the 6th Guards Tank Army, the primary operational level mobile group, has been promoted as a useful example for training commanders and staffs today.
The 6th Guards Tank Army is clearly the predecessor of the operational maneuver group of the 1980s.
Much of modern Soviet military art can be attributed to this campaign.
Soviet military leaders have characterized the Manchurian Campaign as an instructive model for modern offensive operations.
It is considered the main precedent for strategically decisive, offensive operations.
It is a campaign worthy of study by American military professionals as well.

でも過大評価だと思うし、他にも選択肢はたくさんあるのにもったいない。
まずファッション勢がやってきて何番が～と始まるがこれは無視してよい、なぜなら現在では何番(モデル)であるかは履き心地には相関がないからだ。何番であるかが重要であったのは過去10年以上前の話であり、もちろん当時は革新的なものであったことに間違いはない。しかし、現代におけるファッション勢の言う何番というのはもはや過去の復刻モデルであることが多く、当時のクッションをそのまま使っていたりするのでむしろ履き心地は悪いものもある。彼らが馬鹿にするもしくは見向きもしない廉価モデルや知られていないモデルのほうが最新のクッションを搭載している。
これは他のメーカーにも言えることだが例えばナイキには「AIR」を冠するモデルが数多くあるが初登場時には革新的であったが現在ではデザインの一部として残っているものでありクッション性にはもはや寄与しない。ニューバランスも同じで過去のクッション材搭載品ではなく、現在のクッション材搭載品のほうがよいのだ。
では具体的に代替むしろよいメーカーは何があるのか？履き心地だけで言えばHOKAが筆頭として他にはアシックスのGEL搭載モデルやアディダスのboost搭載モデルが挙げられるだろう。もしくはクラシックランニングと呼ばれる種類(まさに話題にあがっているニューバランス)のスニーカーであればNのロゴ以外のものを選べる。この形であればどのようなメーカーを選んでも一定以上の履き心地は得られる(これらのシューズはハイテクと呼ばれるものであり、反対のローテクの代表がコンバースやヴァンズでありソールが硬くクッション性がないことが多い。このローテクかハイテクかはスニーカー以外にも言えることである)。具体的なメーカーとしてはサッカニーやルコック、リーボック、オニツカタイガーなどまだまだ出てくる。
ここで難しいのがじゃあなんでニューバランスだけが売れているのかというと、ひとつに圧倒的な認知度がある。
もうひとつ大きな要素としてはこれは個人的な考えだが性別/世代/格好に左右されず違和感なく履ける点をあげたい。もちろん誰が何を選ぼうが勝手ではあるが三世代で履いていても違和感がないと言えるのはニューバランスだけかもしれない。Nロゴがシューズ全体としてスポーティさを抑えているのかもしれない。
あとは最近ではそうではなくなってきたかもしれないが例えばアシックスやミズノはいわゆる体育館シューズのイメージが強く、避けられる傾向があるように思う(最近はどちらもクラシックランニングに力を入れていていいものがたくさんある。Nがダサいのかメキシコラインがダサいのかはたまたランバードがダサいのか。。)。海外ではオニツカタイガーが人気で、日本ではニューバランスが人気なのはなんとも言いがたいが自国のブランドよりも外国のブランドがよく見えるのはシューズに限らず万国共通なのかもしれない。
まとめると履き心地ガチ勢にはホカ全般/アシックスGEL/ミズノENERGY/アディダスboostなど(とにかく最新のクッション材搭載のもの)を、ニューバランスを避けたい勢にはオニツカタイガーやサッカニーなどのクラシックランニングタイプをおすすめしたい。
少しでも視野が広がってくれたらうれしい。

Prologue
The sun sank behind the horizon as the last vestiges of light bathed the Japanese countryside in a warm, golden glow. Yasuke, a tall, muscular African man with skin as dark as midnight, knelt in the courtyard of Nobunaga's castle, tending to his duties. Though he had traveled a long and treacherous path to reach this moment, his journey had just begun.
Chapter 1: A World Away
In a small village on the Mozambique coast, a young Yasuke lived an ordinary life, unaware of the extraordinary destiny that awaited him. Captured by slave traders and torn from his homeland, he endured a grueling voyage across the Indian Ocean, finally arriving in the bustling port of Goa, India.
It was there that Yasuke's fate took an unexpected turn when he was purchased by Jesuit missionaries. In their service, he learned about Christianity, new languages, and the ways of the Western world.
Chapter 2: The Land of the Rising Sun
As a loyal servant to the missionaries, Yasuke accompanied them on their journey to Japan, a land of mystique and intrigue. The beauty of the land, the complexity of its customs, and the elegance of its people captivated him. As the first African to set foot in Japan, he attracted attention and curiosity from all those who encountered him.
Chapter 3: The Encounter
In Kyoto, the capital of feudal Japan, Yasuke's life changed forever when he met Oda Nobunaga, one of the most powerful and influential daimyos of the time. Nobunaga was captivated by the African's physical prowess, intelligence, and unique background. Seeing potential in Yasuke, Nobunaga decided to take him into his service as a samurai.
Chapter 4: The Path of the Warrior
Yasuke's transformation from a slave to a samurai was fraught with challenges. He had to adapt to the rigorous training, strict code of honor, and the intricacies of Japanese society. Despite these obstacles, Yasuke's strength, resilience, and determination allowed him to excel, earning the respect of his fellow samurai and the trust of Nobunaga.
Chapter 5: The Unfolding War
As Nobunaga sought to unify Japan under his rule, Yasuke fought by his side in numerous battles. The African samurai's legend grew with each victory, as did his bond with Nobunaga. Together, they faced both triumph and tragedy, navigating the treacherous landscape of alliances and betrayals that defined the era.
Chapter 6: The Turning Tide
Yasuke's reputation as a skilled and loyal samurai grew, as did his bond with Lord Nobunaga. The warlord respected Yasuke's dedication and resilience, a stark contrast to the treachery and self-serving ambitions that plagued many samurai of the era.
Word of Yasuke's prowess reached other daimyos, and whispers of the formidable black samurai began to spread across the provinces. The year was 1579, and the Oda clan had just emerged victorious in the Battle of Tedorigawa. Yasuke had fought valiantly, his towering presence and unmatched strength striking fear into the hearts of his enemies.
As the Oda clan continued to expand its territories, Yasuke's friendship with Nobunaga deepened, and he became a trusted advisor. He learned more about Japanese culture, studied the language, and embraced the customs of his new home.
In the shadows, however, the tides of change were brewing. Mitsuhide Akechi, once a loyal ally, had grown disillusioned with Nobunaga's rule. The resentment smoldered within him, fueled by a series of perceived slights and political maneuverings. Mitsuhide's ambition and desire for power began to cloud his judgment.
Yasuke had sensed the shift in Mitsuhide's demeanor and grew increasingly wary of the samurai lord. However, loyalty to Nobunaga prevented him from openly voicing his concerns. He instead focused on his duties, ever vigilant and ready to protect his lord at a moment's notice.
One fateful evening, the air was heavy with the scent of cherry blossoms, as the Oda clan gathered to celebrate their recent victories. Laughter and the clinking of sake cups filled the air. Unbeknownst to the revelers, Mitsuhide Akechi's treacherous plan was already in motion.
As the sun rose, the first cries of battle rang out. Mitsuhide's forces had launched a surprise attack on Nobunaga's residence at the Honno-ji Temple. The chaos was overwhelming, as friend turned against friend, and the air filled with the acrid smell of smoke and blood.
Yasuke fought his way to Nobunaga's side, his sword cutting through the traitorous samurai with brutal efficiency. The two men made their final stand together, back-to-back, against the relentless onslaught.
In the end, however, they were outnumbered. As Nobunaga fell, mortally wounded, Yasuke continued to fight, but he too was eventually captured. Mitsuhide Akechi, in a twisted display of respect, spared Yasuke's life, acknowledging the loyalty and prowess of the black samurai. Yasuke was sent to the Jesuit missionaries, his future uncertain.
Yasuke's journey had been a remarkable one, from a slave in a foreign land to a trusted advisor and samurai. Despite his extraordinary circumstances, he remained true to himself and his values. His story of strength, resilience, and loyalty would be remembered and honored for generations to come.
Epilogue:
As the sun set on another day in Japan, the whisper of the wind carried the tale of the black samurai, Yasuke, across the land. It would weave its way through the ages, inspiring countless others to rise above adversity and carve their own paths through the storms of life.

Title: The Black Samurai: Yasuke's Odyssey
Prologue: Whispers of a Stranger
The year was 1579. The shores of Kyoto were caressed by the gentle waves of the Sea of Japan, as a strange vessel approached. Aboard the ship, a tall, dark-skinned man with the bearing of a warrior stood, gazing upon the foreign land that would soon become his home. His name was Yasuke, and he had been brought to Japan by the Jesuit missionaries, sold into servitude and torn from his African homeland.
Chapter 1: Nobunaga's Curiosity
Yasuke's arrival in Kyoto was met with awe and fascination. His ebony skin, unlike anything the Japanese had ever seen, drew the attention of the powerful daimyo Oda Nobunaga. Intrigued by the foreigner's strength and demeanor, Nobunaga requested a meeting with Yasuke. The two men found a mutual respect for each other's warrior spirit, and thus, Yasuke was granted a position in Nobunaga's service.
Chapter 2: The Path of the Samurai
As Yasuke adapted to his new life, he faced many challenges. He struggled to learn the language and customs, as well as the intricacies of the samurai code, Bushido. Despite the adversity, his determination to prove himself to Nobunaga and the other samurai never wavered. Gradually, Yasuke honed his skills in swordsmanship and strategy, earning the respect of his peers and the title of samurai.
Chapter 3: A Warrior's Bond
Yasuke's service to Nobunaga brought him into contact with many prominent figures of the time, including Mitsuhide Akechi, a cunning and ambitious samurai lord. While their friendship was built on mutual admiration and shared experiences on the battlefield, a lingering mistrust lingered beneath the surface. Yasuke could not shake the feeling that Mitsuhide's ambitions would one day prove to be a grave threat to Nobunaga and his empire.
Chapter 4: The Taste of Betrayal
The year was 1582. The air hung heavy with tension as Yasuke rode beside Nobunaga to the Honno-ji temple in Kyoto. Unbeknownst to them, Mitsuhide Akechi had orchestrated a coup against Nobunaga, his forces surrounding the temple and setting it ablaze. Trapped within the inferno, Nobunaga chose to commit seppuku, entrusting Yasuke with his sword and his final words.
Chapter 5: The Black Samurai's Vengeance
As the flames consumed the temple, Yasuke vowed to avenge Nobunaga's death. He fought his way out of the burning temple, cutting down Mitsuhide's men with the ferocity of a wounded tiger. In a final confrontation with Mitsuhide, Yasuke's loyalty and honor as a samurai shone through, but he was ultimately captured and spared by Mitsuhide, who could not bring himself to kill the man he had once called a friend.
Epilogue: The Legend Endures
With Nobunaga's death, Yasuke's fate was uncertain. The events that followed his confrontation with Mitsuhide would become the stuff
