The reason I set a “View Limit” is because we are all Twitter addicts and need to go outside.

I’m doing a good deed for the world here.

Also, that’s another view you just used.

Japan review

Japan review it's been a year since I

moved to Japan and I thought it made

sense to finally rate Japan I will talk

about things I like and the things I

don't like which seems to be the only

two options available if you have

opinions about this country

so sugoi or did you know Japan is

actually really bad it's got a lot of

survival issues okay I will list one

good thing and bad thing and I will not

hold back there's no trash bins

where I'm gonna put my trash

I have to put in my pocket

oh

there's always these generic things that

you hear or yes when we you visit it's

kind of weird but then you realize it's

not a big deal anyway let's start off

with number one reason I like Japan

it feels like a giant playground no I

don't mean in the Logan Paul kind of

sense of doing whatever the hell you

want

but rather there's a infinite things all

right lazy feels like to explore and

experience and I've been here a year now

and I don't think I'm gonna get bored

anytime soon although I am having a

child so I don't know how much more I

have time to experience

but it really feels like a whole new

world and if you visited you can

probably relate to it and I'm glad that

even a year in it still feels incredibly

fresh and I even would say that you

realize that the best part of Japan

aren't the touristy places kind of

obviously but there are so many areas

that I found that I really enjoy

visiting and this is probably more

specific to me but you know Tokyo is

very busy and so many times I just catch

myself surrounded by what feels like

hundreds of people and they have no idea

who I am

everyone is just doing their own thing

and that feels so [ __ ] good

now once it was staring at me no one's

following me no one's being weird you

guys are weird and I'm just kidding I

just love the feeling of being able to

exist in public and uh not worrying

about what everyone else is doing like

I've said this before but I genuinely

enjoy talking to fans or when people

approach me it always makes me happy but

it can be kind of frustrating to always

wanting to just do your own thing and

always be

you know so yeah let's move on to the

bad things of Japan number one reason

Japan is bad it's kind of a heavy

subject and I haven't seen anyone else

really talk about it it's not brought up

very often at least and that is cones

there's too many cones in Japan once you

see it you cannot unsee it they're

everywhere they say oh Japan has so many

vending machines there's like five per

one person no the opposite

there's more cones than people why are

there so many cones I need to know we

got the tall ones we got the small ones

we got the funny ones the cute ones the

sexy ones I do like those I just don't

understand that whoever plays these

cones think I'm just gonna barge through

oh thank God there's cones here

otherwise I had no idea what I was gonna

and I realized the cone history of Japan

stretches centuries okay if you played

Animal Crossing sometimes it's a

Japanese game so sometimes you get these

items right you're like oh that's kind

of weird I don't know exactly what that

is but it's probably something Japanese

and then you get the bamboo thing and

you're like what the hell is that what

am I even gonna do with that and then

you see it in real life here in Japan

you're like holy [ __ ] it's a cone that's

a cone they're everywhere

I feel like they are following me

I'm glad I was able to talk about this

I'm for one and willing to call out

Japan knock it off man no more cones

there's enough cones let me tell you

something even better than cones you may

have noticed new merch finally it's been

forever my mom came over she had

unofficial merge because I literally

have no other merch I've hadn't hadn't

merch I'm sorry Mom so we spruced up the

logo got a cool back design the team

that worked on it really truly

understand how my brand and I think they

did such a good job these pieces look

amazing and I think you guys are gonna

really like them as well these are

available for limited time only so make

sure you order now so excited to finally

have this merch available thanks to

amaze for making this happen we are

gonna have one piece that will stay on

the store so my mom will not buy the

wrong merch but for a limited time that

piece will be available in this color

off-white kind of color it looks really

nice and then after that you can still

get it but not in this color that's

you want this one yeah I get it

so yeah check that out if you're

interested I'm so happy about these

designs and I hope you guys would like

them as well all right reason number two

I like Japan yay when we first announced

that we were gonna move to Japan there

was so many people just saying how bad

Japan is actually did you know Japan is

really bad did you know this I have to

list all these reasons now because

everyone is like thing and then thing

Japan ah so I have to tell them and I

it's actually but one thing in

particular that people said was that old

people really don't like foreigners they

hate them so when I was gonna stop by to

say hi to our neighbors who was a little

older at least some of them I was

terrifying I heard all these stories you

know like what are they gonna do to us

so I had my guard up ready for the worst

and I was met with nothing but kindness

and welcoming and I felt like a total

dick for having this preconceived ideas

thanks to other people

and just a side comment like yes there

are definitely probably people that

don't like foreigners and all that stuff

but I realized I should let my own

experience is dictate how I feel about

certain things maybe that's just

ignoring a problem I don't know it just

feels like it's a bad way to approach

life if you always have a negative

expectation you know it's smiling people

may Smile Back

smiled back

thank you sometimes they don't and

that's okay you know anyway my point

being Japanese people are very in my own

experience

are very nice and friendly the majority

at least and yes even to foreigners I

feel like they are especially nice to

foreigners because they think we're like

a kid lost at Disneyland or something

I just asked for directions I didn't

need you to walk me for half an hour to

this specific place I was going but

thank you I appreciate it a lot of times

I go bouldering alone and there's always

other groups of people being supportive

and yelling like I'm about there like go

you can do it I love it I think it's

great you know or if you're small

talking with people people generally

want to communicate with you and I love

having those moments but of course

there's times where people are like oh

you're a foreigner I don't feel like

even trying

which again it's fine speaking of which

reason I don't like Japan number two

their language

I have lived here for a year and I'm not

fluent in Japanese

I am dumb I am very dumb I remember the

moment we moved here I had studied some

Japanese and I was like

Let's test out this knowledge that I

have acquired let's go I'm just gonna

come in it's gonna be dangerous and you

enter a store for the first time and

they're like

what

what oh

what the classic the most common

experiences that you have aren't

necessarily what you're taught in the

textbook yay I know I think that's the

same for anyone learning a language for

the first time but don't even get me

started on the kanji main what the [ __ ]

is this I feel like Japanese is such a

hard language obviously but I don't

think people realize how hard it is at

least me personally because the more you

learn the more you realize you don't

know [ __ ]

for English speakers Japanese is

considered one of the most difficult

languages and because it's just so

different I listed it as bad because

that was my first kind of experience

with it coming here but the more I

interact with people the more it feels

like I'm unlocking new skills you know

oh I made a phone call for the first

time oh I could ask someone over the

phone I know big deal but it's like oh I

can actually do that or even just having

a small tiny yes shittiest conversation

with a stranger it's still something and

it feels good you start to all of a

sudden understand you know a movie if

you're watching oh I understand actually

what's going on here or I can play games

and kind of get what this they're saying

I have to look up words obviously but to

me all those new experiences that it

unlocks to me is very rewarding even

though it's such a challenge I would

actually now say it's a good thing I

played it on its head it was a good

thing all along but I obviously have a

long [ __ ] way to go

and it just I don't think it will damage

time reason number three I like Japan

this is nothing to do with Japan to say

it's more related to me taking a more

relaxed approach to YouTube for my

entire 20s I did nothing but YouTube

that was my life and that's okay but I

also think it was a little toxic

probably you know if I wasn't making

videos I sure as hell was thinking about

making videos I uploaded videos during

our honeymoon

and it feels really good to finally be

free from it you know and I can discover

other things in life there are other

things in life

a new hobbies and interest that I've

always wanted to do I can do and have so

much fun with it surfing I know I would

love for the longest time and I finally

get to do it and it's so [ __ ] amazing

I love learning new things anything that

isn't necessarily connected to all of

this on the internet and that is

something I'm very very grateful that I

discovered so yeah it's not really Japan

I could have done that anywhere but it's

largely why I enjoyed so much here

reason I don't like Japan number three

this is probably the most trickiest one

and it's the rules what are the rules

Japan has so many rules and it's a bit

conflicting for me to complain about

because a lot of the best stuff about

Japan not the best stuff but a lot of

the reasons why Japan works so well is

because of the rules you know the trains

are always on time things just work in

general it's hard to explain the streets

are clean people aren't loud in public

and so on and these are sort of societal

rules that make it happen more or less

but sometimes There are rules that just

don't make any sense and I have no

problem following rules as long as I

understand the reason for it you know

don't talk on the phone on the train

because it's generally annoying when

other people do that to you A lot of it

is just be thoughtful of other people

it's not just about you and that just

makes it more pleasant for everyone but

one rule is especially which I talked

about before is the fact that because of

kovid I'm not allowed to be in the

delivery room for our baby for more than

two hours that's because of covered

rules it just doesn't make sense to me

and I tell people about this like uh

family and friends and they're always

like well why don't you just ask them or

like why don't you talk to them I'm sure

you can there's got to be somewhere and

it's like no it's Japan okay there are

rules and people follow the rules for

better or worse you know so the more I

time I spend Permalink | 記事への反応(0) | 01:06

[Miffy:]

Yo, it's Miffy and Kitty on the mic

And we're here to talk about a topic that's tight

It's about the men who feel weak inside

But they don't show it, they just try to hide

[Kitty:]

It's time to break down that toxic mold

Where men gotta be tough, and never fold

But vulnerability is not a flaw

It's a strength, and it's time we saw

[Miffy:]

So to all the men out there feeling small

Don't be afraid to let down the wall

It's okay to ask for help and support

You're not alone, we'll be your escort

[Kitty:]

We'll listen to your stories and your fears

We'll hold you up, we'll dry your tears

You don't have to go through it alone

We're here for you, until you're grown

[Miffy:]

So let's break down the stigma and the shame

That says men can't show their pain

It's time to open up and let it out

And let the world know what you're all about

[Kitty:]

So to all the vulnerable men out there

We see you, we hear you, and we care

You're not weak, you're strong as can be

And we'll be here for you, for eternity.

アメリカ教会リーダー臨死体験イエスの生涯を目撃する話

https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/general-conference/1989/10/the-sacrament-and-the-sacrifice?lang=eng

The Sacrament—and the Sacrifice

By Elder David B. Haight

Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles

I pray for your faith and prayers that my utterances will be received and understood “by the Spirit of truth” and that my expressions will be given “by the Spirit of truth” so that we might all be “edified and rejoice together.” (See D&C 50:21–22.)

As I stand here today—a well manwords of gratitude and acknowledgment of divine intervention are so very inadequate in expressing the feelings in my soul.

Six months ago at the April general conference, I was excused from speaking as I was convalescing from a serious operation. My life has been spared, and I now have the pleasant opportunity of acknowledging the blessings, comfort, and ready aid of my Brethren in the First Presidency and Quorum of the Twelve, and other wonderful associates and friends to whom I owe so much and who surrounded my dear wife, Ruby, and my family with their time, attention, and prayers. For the inspired doctors and thoughtful nurses I express my deepest gratitude, and for the thoughtful letters and messages of faith and hope received from many places in the world, many expressing, “You have been in our prayers” or “We have been asking our Heavenly Father to spare your life.” Your prayers and mine, thankfully, have been answered.

One unusual card caused me to ponder upon the majesty of it all. It is an original painting by Arta Romney Ballif of the heavens at night with its myriad golden stars. Her caption, taken from Psalms, reads:

“Praise ye the Lord: …

“He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.

“He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names.

“… His understanding is infinite.” (Ps. 147:1, 3–5.)

As I lay in the hospital bed, I meditated on all that had happened to me and studied the contemplative painting by President Marion G. Romney’s sister and the lines from Psalms: “He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names.” I was then—and continue to be—awed by the goodness and majesty of the Creator, who knows not only the names of the stars but knows your name and my name—each of us as His sons and daughters.

The psalmist, David, wrote:

“When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;

“What is man, that thou art mindful of him? …

“For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.” (Ps. 8:3–5.)

To be remembered is a wonderful thing.

The evening of my health crisis, I knew something very serious had happened to me. Events happened so swiftly—the pain striking with such intensity, my dear Ruby phoning the doctor and our family, and I on my knees leaning over the bathtub for support and some comfort and hoped relief from the pain. I was pleading to my Heavenly Father to spare my life a while longer to give me a little more time to do His work, if it was His will.

While still praying, I began to lose consciousness. The siren of the paramedic truck was the last that I remembered before unconsciousness overtook me, which would last for the next several days.

The terrible pain and commotion of people ceased. I was now in a calm, peaceful setting; all was serene and quiet. I was conscious of two persons in the distance on a hillside, one standing on a higher level than the other. Detailed features were not discernible. The person on the higher level was pointing to something I could not see.

I heard no voices but was conscious of being in a holy presence and atmosphere. During the hours and days that followed, there was impressed again and again upon my mind the eternal mission and exalted position of the Son of Man. I witness to you that He is Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, Savior to all, Redeemer of all mankind, Bestower of infinite love, mercy, and forgiveness, the Light and Life of the world. I knew this truth before—I had never doubted nor wondered. But now I knew, because of the impressions of the Spirit upon my heart and soul, these divine truths in a most unusual way.

I was shown a panoramic view of His earthly ministry: His baptism, His teaching, His healing the sick and lame, the mock trial, His crucifixion, His resurrection and ascension. There followed scenes of His earthly ministry to my mind in impressive detail, confirming scriptural eyewitness accounts. I was being taught, and the eyes of my understanding were opened by the Holy Spirit of God so as to behold many things.

The first scene was of the Savior and His Apostles in the upper chamber on the eve of His betrayal. Following the Passover supper, He instructed and prepared the sacrament of the Lord’s Supper for His dearest friends as a remembrance of His coming sacrifice. It was so impressively portrayed to me—the overwhelming love of the Savior for each. I witnessed His thoughtful concern for significant details—the washing of the dusty feet of each Apostle, His breaking and blessing of the loaf of dark bread and blessing of the wine, then His dreadful disclosure that one would betray Him.

He explained Judas’s departure and told the others of the events soon to take place.

Then followed the Savior’s solemn discourse when He said to the Eleven: “These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33.)

Our Savior prayed to His Father and acknowledged the Father as the source of His authority and powereven to the extending of eternal life to all who are worthy.

He prayed, “And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.”

Jesus then reverently added:

“I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.

“And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.” (John 17:3–5.)

He pled not only for the disciples called out from the world who had been true to their testimony of Him, “but for them also which shall believe on me through their word.” (John 17:20.)

When they had sung a hymn, Jesus and the Eleven went out to the Mount of Olives. There, in the garden, in some manner beyond our comprehension, the Savior took upon Himself the burden of the sins of mankind from Adam to the end of the world. His agony in the garden, Luke tells us, was so intense “his sweat was as … great drops of blood falling … to the ground.” (Luke 22:44.) He suffered an agony and a burden the like of which no human person would be able to bear. In that hour of anguish our Savior overcame all the power of Satan.

The glorified Lord revealed to Joseph Smith this admonition to all mankind:

“Therefore I command you to repent …

“For … I, God, … suffered … for all, that they might not suffer if they would repent; …

“Which suffering caused myself, even God, the greatest of all, to tremble because of pain, and to bleed at every pore, …

“Wherefore, I command you again to repent, lest I humble you with my almighty power; and that you confess your sins, lest you suffer these punishments.” (D&C 19:15–16, 18, 20.)

During those days of unconsciousness I was given, by the gift and power of the Holy Ghost, a more perfect knowledge of His mission. I was also given a more complete understanding of what it means to exercise, in His name, the authority to unlock the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven for the salvation of all who are faithful. My soul was taught over and over again the events of the betrayal, the mock trial, the scourging of the flesh of even one of the Godhead. I witnessed His struggling up the hill in His weakened condition carrying the cross and His being stretched upon it as it lay on the ground, that the crude spikes could be driven with a mallet into His hands and wrists and feet to secure His body as it hung on the cross for public display.

Crucifixion—the horrible and painful death which He suffered—was chosen from the beginning. By that excruciating death, He descended below all things, as is recorded, that through His resurrection He would ascend above all things. (See D&C 88:6.)

Jesus Christ died in the literal sense in which we will all die. His body lay in the tomb. The immortal spirit of Jesus, chosen as the Savior of mankind, went to those myriads of spirits who had departed mortal life with varying degrees of righteousness to God’s laws. He taught them the “glorious tidings of redemption from the bondage of death, and of possible salvation, … [which was] part of [our] Savior’s foreappointed and unique service to the human family.” (James E. Talmage, Jesus the Christ, Salt Lake City: Deseret Book Co., 1977, p. 671.)

I cannot begin to convey to you the deep impact that these scenes have confirmed upon my soul. I sense their eternal meaning and realize thatnothing in the entire plan of salvation compares in any way in importance with that most transcendent of all events, the atoning sacrifice of our Lord. It is the most important single thing that has ever occurred in the entire history of created things; it is the rock foundation upon which the gospel and all other things rest,” as has been declared. (Bruce R. McConkie, Mormon Doctrine, Salt Lake City: Bookcraft, 1966, p. 60.)

Father Lehi taught his son Jacob and us today:

“Wherefore, redemption cometh in and through the Holy Messiah; for he is full of grace and truth.

“Behold, he offereth himself a sacrifice for sin, to answer the ends of the law, unto all those who have a broken heart and a contrite spirit; and unto none else can the ends of the law be answered.

“Wherefore, how great the importance to make these things known unto the inhabitants of the earth, that they may know that there is no flesh that can dwell in the presence of God, save it be through the merits, and mercy, and grace of the Holy Messiah, who layeth down his life according to the flesh, and taketh it again by the power of the Spirit, that he may bring to pass the resurrection of the dead, being the first that should rise.

“Wherefore, he is the firstfruits unto God, inasmuch as he shall make intercession for all the children of men; and they that believe in him shall be saved.” (2 Ne. 2:6–9.)

Our most valuable worship experience in the sacrament meeting is the sacred ordinance of the sacrament, for it provides the opportunity to focus our minds and hearts upon the Savior and His sacrifice.

The Apostle Paul warned the early Saints against eating this bread and drinking this cup of the Lord unworthily. (See 1 Cor. 11:27–30.)

Our Savior Himself instructed the Nephites, “Whoso eateth and drinketh my flesh and blood unworthily [brings] damnation to his soul.” (3 Ne. 18:29.)

Worthy partakers of the sacrament are in harmony with the Lord and put themselves under covenant with Him to always remember His sacrifice for the sins of the world, to take upon them the name of Christ and to always remember Him, and to keep His commandments. The Savior covenants that we who do so shall have His spirit to be with us and that, if faithful to the end, we may inherit eternal life.

Our Lord revealed to Joseph Smith that “there is no gift greater than the gift of salvation,” which plan includes the ordinance of the sacrament as a continuous reminder of the Savior’s atoning sacrifice. He gave instructions thatit is expedient that the church meet together often to partake of bread and wine in the remembrance of the Lord Jesus.” (D&C 6:13; D&C 20:75.)

Immortality comes to us all as a free gift by the grace of God alone, without works of righteousness. Eternal life, however, is the reward for obedience to the laws and ordinances of His gospel.

I testify to all of you that our Heavenly Father does answer our righteous pleadings. The added knowledge which has come to me has made a great impact upon my life. The gift of the Holy Ghost is a priceless possession and opens the door to our ongoing knowledge of God and eternal joy. Of this I bear witness, in the holy name of Jesus Christ, amen.

一時期ずっとiPad AirCMで流れていたウォルト・ホイットマンの詩「O Me! O Life!」。

訳してみた。

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

O Me! O Life!

O me! O life!... of the questions of these recurring

Of the endless trains of the faithless--of cities fill'd with the foolish

Of myself forever reproaching myself, (for who more foolish than I, and who more faithless?)

Of eyes that vainly crave the light--of the objects mean--of the struggle ever renew'd

Of the poor results of all--of the plodding and sordid crowds I see around me

Of the empty and useless years of the rest--with the rest me intertwined

The question, O me! so sad, recurring--What good amid these, O me, O life?

Answer.

That you are here--that life exists, and identity

That the powerful play goes on, and you will contribute a verse

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

おお私よ!人生よ!

おお私よ!人生よ!...幾度となく繰り返される疑問の数々。

何処までも続く不信心者たちの長蛇の列、馬鹿者で満たされた都会の街、

永遠自分を責め続ける私自身、(最も馬鹿で不信心なの私ではないだろうか?)、

あてもなく光を求める虚ろな目や、卑怯物事、絶えず繰り返される悪あがきや、

全ての残念な結果、周りにいるだらしなく不潔な連中や、

残された空虚無意味な残りの歳月、私に絡みつく残りの事象に。

質問。私よ、悲しくも繰り返される、この渦中に少しでも良いことはあるのだろうか?私よ、人生よ。

解答。

それは「お前がここにいる」ということ。そこに生命存在し、アデンティティがあるということ。

その演技は力強く続き、そしていつの日か一節を捧げるのだ。

スペクターサウンドを256倍楽しむ方法

 日本では'76年に、フィレス・レーベル作品がまとめて再発売されたことがありましたが、ボックス形式としては本邦初で、しかCDボックスとしては今回が世界初ということになります。また同時に、<ヒーズ・ア・レベル>という、関係者インタビューを中心にした本が白夜書房から発売されます。それを読みながらこのBOXを聞きますと512倍楽しく聞けることを保証します。

 では、時代を追って解説していきます

テディー・ベアーズ

 1958年17才にして彼は”スター”でした。この後ポップス歴史を彩ることになるクリスタルズロネッツキャロル・キングバリーマンビーチ・ボーイズビートルズの誰よりも先に<NO.1ヒット>を持っていた!、このことが良くも悪くもスペクターのその後の人生を決定づけたと思いますポップス史上、#1ヒットを星の数ほど作り続けたリーバー&ストラーや、ジョージマーチンも、自らの#1ヒットはなく、このことが彼を単に<プロデューサー>の範疇では捉えられない最大の理由です。<彼を知ることは、彼を愛することだ>というデビュー曲の<彼>は、もちろんスペクター本人の意味で、そこには強引さ、傲慢さも感じられますが、実はそれが力強くもあり、<スターの要素>そのものだともいえます。彼の仕事ぶりを評して、全てを自分一色に染めてしまう、という批判をよく聞きますが、これはことの本質理解してい居ない人の発言です。かれは<裏方>ではなく<スター>なのです!それを、アーティストの持ち味を引き出すのがプロデューサー仕事だ、という常識的意味で彼を捉えようとするから批判的になるのです。彼こそが<スター>で、誰が歌おうか演奏しようが、他の人は全て脇役なのです。単に映画監督と言う視点ヒッチコックを捉えるとおもしろ解釈は生まれない、というのにも似ています。(誰が主演でもヒッチの映画になります黒沢さんもそうですね。)

 デビューアルバムTEDDY BEARS SING」のB-1「I DON'T NEED YOU ANYMORE」の<ステレオバージョン>はナントリードボーカル女の子の声が左で、真ん中がフィルコーラスしかも、ところどころリードボーカルの3倍くらいの大きさでコーラスが<邪魔をする>といってもいいほどの前代未聞のバランス!です。

 デビューからしてこうなのですから自己主張とかワガママなどという、なまやさしいことではないのです。

SCHOOLもの

 のちにブラックミュージックにのめり込んでいった彼ですが、スタートは白人ポップスでした。まずは自らのヴォーカリストギターリスト、および作曲家としての才能を試すところからはじめた、というところでしょうか。'50年代後半は、まだ黒人音楽一般的ではありませんでしたが、若者の間では熱狂的な指示を得ていました。スペクターもいろいろな黒人アーティストを聞いていたようですが、こと自分デビューに関しては、世間的に穏便な方法をとったところなど<奇[...]

 また'50年代中期には「暴力教室」をはじめ「HIGHSCHOOL CONFIDENTIAL」など<怒れる若者>をテーマにした映画が続々と作られ、その代表としてJ・ディーンが登場し、代表作が「理由なき反抗」-REBEL WITHOUT A CAUSE -でした。このように、当時の若者キーワードの一つは<REBEL>であり、「乱暴者」のマーロン・ブランドのような皮ジャン、サングラスバイクというスタイル流行しました。

 彼のでデビューソングはたしかに<学園もの>でしたが、それまでの、例えばドリス・デイの「先生お気に入り」調のホンワカしたものではなく、女の子自分の想いを直接的、また積極的に<ナゼわかってくれないの?>と切々と歌い上げるというのは冬至若者フィーリングにピッタシきたようです。実はこの手法スペクター特有の<ソフィスティケーションの中の直接性>というもので、彼を理会する上で大事ことなのです。

ガレージサウンド

 ある程度、あるいはそれ以上の音楽素養がなければミュージシャン作曲家になれなかったジャズと違って、ギター1本あればだれでもロックンローラーになれる、というのがロック時代でした。子供技術を会得して成長し、大人の仲間入りをするのがジャズだとすると、ロックは、子供子供のままで音楽ができるというのが特徴でした。ヒョットしたらオレにもなれるかもしれないと、多くのシロウトがわれもわれもと参加したことが、音楽単純化拍車をかけました。ジャズ豊満でふくよか、とすると、R&Rは骨と皮だけといえましょう。ジャズ大人音楽で、背景はナイトクラブ女性お酒が似合いましたが、子供音楽として誕生したR&Rの背景に一番ピッタリだったのはナント、<ガレージ>でした。

 麻雀同様4人(あるいは3人)いればすぐにできたのがR&Rの特徴でしたが、ニュー・ヨークのようにせまいところで大声を上げれば、お母さんに怒鳴られるだけですからストリートへ出るわけです。50'sのDoo Wapブームの背景は街角ストリート・コーナーが似合ったわけです。

 それにくらべて土地の広大な中西部西海岸は車がなければ不便なので、当選、どこの家にもガレージがあり、ここが若者の格好の練習場所となりました(蛇足ですが、今の日本ロックサウンドの背景は<貸しスタジオ>--密室--ではないでしょうか?)。さて、楽器感覚でどうにか弾けますが、作曲というのは簡単そうでもやはり多少の音楽素養必要です。しかし、若者の、なんでもいいからR&Rをやりたい!という想いはこんなことではくじけません。骨と皮だけのロックを、さらに皮も捨てて骨だけにしたのです。それが<ギターインストゥルメンタル>でした。これは、楽器感覚的にかき鳴らすだけですから、とりあえずだれにでもできました。ジャズ単純化ロックとすれば、これはさらに、ロック単純化で、その極致であったわけです。

 これが<ガレージサウンド>の正体でしたが、この時代呼応するかのように、新しく生まれ現象がありました。それは、録音機が少しずつ普及し始め、ガレージ居間などでの<ホームレコーディング>が行われるようになったことです。そして、デモテープのような、ある意味では乱暴

チャートに登場するようになり、まさに音楽大衆化が、内容だけではなく、音質までにも及んだのです(エルビスバディ・ホリーデビュー曲地方の、オヤジさんが社長、オカミさん専務、というような町工場風のスタジオで録音したものです)。

 それまでの録音は、演奏者と録音技師ガラスを隔てて別々の仕事場でした。技師演奏者にマイクの使い方を指導することはあっても、演奏者の方が技師に注文をつけるというケースはめったにありませんでした。しかし、ホームレコーディング特有の、機械いじりの好きな少年の思い付きや、また機材不足からひねりだした斬新な工夫は、新しいサウンド母体となるのです。

 スペクターは、テディー・ベアーズの録音の時からスタジオ内と調整室を行ったり来たりして、録音技師を困らせていたようですから、コダワリの姿勢最初からのようです(口述しますが、後年よくいわれるワグナー好きやソウルミュージックの追求というのは、スターありがちな<後付け>である、と私は考えています)。

 このホームレコーディングが、実は<スペクターサウンド>の根幹なのです!<BACK TO MONO>の意味もこのことなので、一つのかたまり大人数、熱気、乱雑の中の整理、複雑の単純化、そして<ホーム>、これが彼の求めたものでした。かたまりは<MONO>、大人数はミュージシャンの数、熱は<ハルブレインドラム>、整理は<J・ニッチェアレンジ>、単純化は<L・レビンミックス>、そしてホームは<西海岸>、これがスペクターサウンドの中味の分析ですが、詳しくはこれも後述します。

インストマニア

 この当時のロックンロール少年と同じく、スペクターギター少年でした。本名フィル・ハーヴェイとしてインストレコードも発表しています。また'58、'59年はインストロックの当たり年で、チャンプ栖の「TEQUILA!」が#1になったり、B・ホリーのインスト版ともいえるファイヤーボールズ、リンクレイ、そしてジョニーハリケーンズサント&ジョニーサンディー・ネルソン(「TO KNOW HIM~」のドラムデビュー前の彼です)、そして極め付きはギターインスト王者、デュアン・エディーの登場でした。

 日本ではなぜか、ほとんど評価されませんでしたが、ギターリストとして一番の人気とヒットのあった人で、そのサウンドユニークさとポップ・シーンへの影響は大きいものがありました。またイギリスでの人気は特に異常で、'60年の人気投票では1位でした(すごい!)。近年リバイバル・ヒットした「PETER GUN」などは後の<007シリーズ>や<バットマン>のもとになったともいえますし、日本では未公開の映画「BECAUSE THEY'RE YOUNG」のテーマは、彼の"トワンギー・ギター"と流麗なストリングスとのコンビネーションは、すぐアル・カイオラが取り入れて「荒野の7人」となって登場、西部劇インストテーマの基本形となりました。また「ビートルズがやってくる ヤァ!ヤァ!ヤァ!」のジョージマーチン楽団の「リンゴテーマ」も、まさにD・エディーのマネジャープロデューサーレスター・シルで、テディー・ベアーズの録音の際、隣のスタジオ仕事をしていて知り合ったといわれ、この人と出会ってなければ<スペクターサウンド>はこの世に存在しなかったといえるほど重大な出会いでした。

 シルはこの時すでにスペクタープロデューサー向きであることを見抜き、早速契約を結び、最初に買った曲のタイトルナント「BE MY GIRL!」。

 スペクターについては、まわりにいた人に才能があったので、本人にそう才能があったわけではない、という人もいますが、これは間違いです。確かにまわりにいた人々は有能でした。しかし、彼はプロデューサーとして一番重要な要素である<何をやりたいのか>ということが明確にありました。それは前にも述べましたがいろいろな意味での<直接性>というテーマを持っていたことです。これはもちろんR&Rのイディオム佐野元春調)ですが、荒々しいサウンドの中の直接性より、スペクターポップスに折り込んだ直接性の方がより<暴力的>ですらありました。

 例えば、R&Rの時代になって<BE>という動詞で始まるビッグ・ヒットは「BE MY BABY」が第1号です(BE CAREFUL~などの慣用句を除く)。簡単なようですが、作る側にまわってみると、これが簡単に言い切れるものではないのです。まさにこれをスパッと言い切れるのが<スター>なのです。「TO KNOW HIM~」の断定と「BE」の命令。このシェイクスピア調の、時代がかったともいえる口調が、逆に新味を呼んだのではないでしょうか。この大時代的で、且つ直接的な手法は「I WANT TO HOLD YOUR HAND」(ユーモアの点ではJ&Pの方が数段上ですネ!)に共通したものを感じます

 シルと契約直後、スペクターはD・エディのセッション見学しています。さっそく実地訓練をさせようというシルの計らいで、時は'59年の4月の後半でした。この年のエディーの最大のヒットは6月に発売された「FORTY MILES OF BAD ROAD」(9位)で、この曲はナントベースドラムだけをイントロでフィーチャーした、ポップス史上初のヒット曲>なのです。さて、ベースドラムイントロといえば「BE MY BABY」ですが、この2曲の因果関係についての疑問を、10年ほど前の<ニュー・ミュージック・マガジン>で発表したことがありましたが、時期的にはこの推論が成り立つようです。が、モチロン、その因果については全く憶測の域は出ておりません。

 エディーのスタジオは1トラックテープレコーダーが1台しかないという粗末な設備ながら、そのエコーを駆使してのサウンド作りは、特に録音にはうるさかった若き日のスペクターには刺激的な体験だったと思われます。トワンギー・サウンド秘密であった水道管やドラム缶をエコー使用するという一風変わった手法は(そのためシルは何10個もドラム缶を買い、しかも一番響きのいい缶を探したといいますスペクターが興味を持たなかったはずはありません。

 そのような多彩な録音技術を駆使していた人は、D・エディー・サウンド製作者<リー・ヘイズルウッド>でした(エンジニアはエディー・ブラケット)。ヘイズルウッドといえばナンシー・シナトラとのデュエットアストロノーツの「太陽の彼方に」の作者として日本ではおなじみですが、エディーのプロデューサーとして最初評価された人なのです。

中したスペクターは、一瞬たりともヘイズルウッドの背後から離れなかった>と発言しています

憧れのリーバー&ストラー

 その後シルは、スペクタープロデューサーにすべく、今度はニュー・ヨークリーバー&ストラーのもとへ送り込みました。’60年代代表的なコンビレノンマッカートニーとすれば、’50年代リーバー&ストラー時代で、ロックビジネスを目指す人々にとっての目標でした。スペクター学校の先輩でもあった彼らのデビューに一役買っていたのが、これまたレスター・シルでした。シルがマネージャーをしていたコースターズをきっかけに、ドリフターズ、そしてエルビスへの曲提供プロデュースを行い、初のR&Rにおける独立プロデューサーとしての地位確立したのがこの二人なのです。

 スペクターにとって、このニュー・ヨークでの修行時代の最大の収穫はベン・E・キングヒット曲「SPANISH HARLEM」をJ・リーバーと共作できたことでしょう。これはR&Rビジネスへの切符を手に入れた、つまり、お墨付をもらったということ......って、最大の自信となったことは疑う余地はあり.....

 ま.... ドリフターズの「THERE GOES MY BABY」...にストリングスをフィーチャーする手法を....ことも<スペクターサウンド>への引金になったと、私は思います。その手法プロデュースしたジーン・ピットニーの「EVERY BREATH I TAKE」は、全くドリフターズ調でしたが、すでに<スペクターサウンド>は出来上がっていた、ともいえる、本家を凌ぐ作品でした。<ゴフィン&キング>との最初作品でしたが、この日のセッションにはリーバー&ストラーをはじめ、B・バカラック、B・マン&C・ウェイル、アルド出版社代表のD・カーシュナーら、そうそうたる顔ぶれが集まったといいます。そしてこの作品が、ここに集まった全ての人にスペクターの印象を強く与えることとなり、一緒の仕事が始まるわけです。特にこの曲で印象深いのはドラムフレーズですが、G・ゴフィンの証言によれば、フィルドラマーゲイリーチェスターに指示をして、それが実に的確だった、ということです。

 この修行時代にすでに、J・ニッチェやH・ブレインがいなくても、これだけのものを作っていたことは見落とせません。スペクターサウンドを作ったのはやはり彼なのです。

 この曲は残念ながら大ヒットにはなりませんでしたが、来たるべき<スペクター時代>の幕開けを飾るにふさわしい素晴らしい曲でした。

 また、この頃、レスター・シルとリー・ヘイズルウッドは共同活動を解消、スペクターは新たなパートナー、いわば後釜としてシルと関係を結び、それが二人の頭文字を合わせた<PHIL+LES>の誕生となりました(シルとヘイズルウッドのレーベル名は二人の息子の頭文字から<GREG+MARK>というものでした)。

アルバムとかカップリング存在価値疑問視されている今こういう曲をサルベージできればいいなあと

That's not what I'm talking about, blah, blah, blah.

First of all, I don't like your arrogant attitude that you are smarter than me. Then, you should realize that you are just an idiot. The fool who is unaware is the most troublesome. I am not as stupid as you because I am aware of my stupidity.

There is no doubt that you are just as incompetent as I am, even though you write a lot of garbage information here. Because this is a place for incompetent people to write.

Now, what I wanted to say was... Eat shit, moron!

Tumblr青色認証バッジ(認証とは言ってない)を月 $7.99 で販売開始

煽ってるのかな?

https://staff.tumblr.com/post/700564142648606720/hi-were-introducing-completely-useless-blue

We’re introducing Important Blue Internet Checkmarks here on Tumblr. They’re a steal at $7.99—that’s cheaper than some other places, when you consider that you get not one but TWO checkmarks for your blog on web only (for now). Why, you ask? Why not? Nothing matters!

¯\_(ツ)_/¯


他店より安いですよ!

なんでって? どうでもいいじゃん!  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This is not a verification status; it's an Important Blue Internet Checkmark, which in 2022 is just as legit. Also the Important Blue Internet Checkmark may turn into a bunch of crabs at any time🦀

これは別に認証マークではなくて "インターネットでなんだか重要青色チェックマーク" です

なのでいつカニの群れに変わるかわかんないよ🦀

(注:crab🦀は炎上屋/放火魔みたいなのを意味するスラングみたい)

課金しようか迷ってる・・・

a

Such a feeling is coming over me

There is wonder in most every thing I see

Not a cloud in the sky

Got the sun in my eyes

And I won't be surprised if it's a dream

Everything I want the world to be

Is now coming true especially for me

And the reason is clear it's because you are here

[All](You're) the nearest thing to heaven that I've seen

I'm on the top of the world

Looking down on creation and the only explanation I can find

Is the love that I've found ever since you've been around

[You ???](Your love's) put me at the top of the world.

Something in the wind has [learnt](learned) my name

And it's telling me that things are not the same

In the leaves on the trees and the [churchs](touch) of the breeze

There's a [pleasant](pleasing) sense of happiness for me

There is only one wish on my mind

When this day is through I ??? (hope that I will find)

That the tomorrow [would](will) be just the same for you and me

All I need will be mine if you are here

I'm on the top of the world looking down on creation and the only explanation I can find

Is the love that I've found ever since you've been around

[You ???](Your love's) put me at the top of the world

I'm on the top of the world looking down on creation and the only explanation I can find

Is the love that I've found ever since you've been around

[You ???](Your love's) put me at the top of the world
