The future of humanity
What the hell was that brand symbol in my dream the other day?
Needless to say, this question is one that will affect the future of humanity.
Of course, the future of humanity is as important to me as raw oysters, so I licked my way through all the volumes of the manga Cobra and finally found the relevant part.

Everything is virtual reality
The other day, one of the video series "NHK Special: The Birth of Humankind" appeared on Youtube as a recommendation, and I found it very interesting, so I watched the entire series (8 videos).
I found it very interesting, so I watched all of them (8).
・ 40,000 years ago Why did weak Homo sapiens unite in groups?
・43,000 years ago: The evolution of Homo sapiens hunting.
・50,000 years ago Neanderthals vs. giant creatures
・50,000 years ago Neanderthals vs. giant creatures
・1.8 million years ago, humans were marathon runners!
・2.4 Million Years Ago, Humans' Rivals Were Hyenas!
・3.7 million years ago, humans ate insects!
・4.4 million years ago, humans were loving wives and caring men!
There are so many titles that will make your booze-soaked head drool that there is no choice but to not watch them.
It's interesting. Neanderthal man" is a character that appeared in "The Complete History of Sapiens" and played a role in the tragedy of "extinction" (though he's not a character), so I'm already curious.
As I did so, the recommendations that were displayed started to change. I started watching more and more of the recommendations that came up, such as "Civilization of the Jomon," "Super Ancient Civilization 55 Million Years Ago," "The Truth About Easter Island," "The Tower of Babel Exists," "The Birth of the Earth," "The Birth and End of the Universe," and "Do Parallel Worlds Exist?
As I was watching all these videos, I came across a video called "Proof that this world is a virtual reality". It's a video that uses various theories to prove that this world is a virtual reality (VR).
I don't want to go into too much detail, but this video made it clear to me. This world is all virtual reality. When you get angry with your boss, when your girlfriend cheats on you, when you step on a banana peel and fall down, it's all virtual reality. No doubt about it. I'm glad that Youtube has helped me to clear my mind.

Scenery that goes well with wine
Windows (Windows 10 only?) Whenever I start up my PC, it displays some kind of amazing scenery of the world.
I just came home and started up my PC at home, and I saw a very nice scenery on the screen.
It's a scene that makes wine go faster and faster. I'm not drinking wine.
This European city, where time seems to have stopped, attracts many travelers. When you visit here...
"When you come to this city of Renaissance architecture, you can't miss a canal cruise.
I knew that I was probably in Europe, but I didn't know where in Europe.
This startup screen that appears every time doesn't tell you where the scenery is, does it? So I went to "sleep -> wake up" to check, and when I re-displayed the screen, I found the "Do you like it? which appears in the upper right corner of the screen, you can see the location. I didn't know that.
The location of today's image was "Brugge, Belgium. I thought it was "To a place called Brugge, Belgium", but there is a place called "Brugge", isn't there? I didn't know that. I heard it's a city with three World Heritage Sites. I didn't know that at all.
When I saw the Chinese character for "advance" in the title, I had a gestalt collapse. I think I'll have a glass of wine today.
The best music to go with wine is of course Kanashibari, and the Kanashibari Channel is the perfect accompaniment to wine.

Motörhead's cover song "Be My Baby" is now available on Youtube
The other day, I released a 30-second video of Motörhead's cover song "Be My Baby" on Youtube, and now I've decided to release the full song.
As I wrote the other day, I only remember playing this song once at a gig, and of course there is no gig video, so this is a lyric video. It looks like the Motörhead character "Warpig", but he's wearing the same make-up as Ore-sama, and you can see the Kanashibari crest carved into his forehead. In other words, he's a "warshibari" or a "kanapig".
Be My Baby" has just been added to the new Kanashivari Channel! Please subscribe to our channel!

Tsukiko Amano is nice, isn't it? You're currently working under the name "Amano Tsuki". In the early days, I had the impression that she sang with a lot of falsetto, but I like the songs where she doesn't use falsetto as much and uses her voice more.
Natsuhiko Kyogoku's "Hyakkiyakou series" is very good. I was really shocked by the contents and the thickness of the books, from "The Summer of the Bird of Prey" to "The Cage of the Iron Rat. I read them over and over again in spite of their thickness.
I heard that "The Box of the Môryô" from Kyôgoku Natsuhiko's "Hyakkiyô Series" was made into an anime a long time ago (I've never seen it), and yesterday I suddenly remembered that there was a MAD movie made with the "Box of the Môryô" anime and Tsukiko Amano's "Zero no Tunings".
I think it was originally from Nico Nico Douga and reprinted on Youtube, but I couldn't find it on Youtube now. So I found it on Nico Nico Douga.
The Box of the Môryô MAD - Tunings of Zero
It's really good. I mean, SHARA-sensei's guitar solo in this song is really unfair. If you don't know the story of The Box of the Môryô, you may not be impressed, but if you do, you'll love it.
I also remembered that a long time ago, there was an original animation of "The Cage of the Iron Rat" from the Hyakki Yakou series, and there was a MAD with "Inner Universe" or "Origa" by Yoko Kanno. I don't remember if it was "Inner Universe" or "Origa", but if there were multiple videos and both were used. It was a very long time ago, so my memory is pretty hazy.
The animation was like a black-and-white line drawing original by the contributor, and it was really atmospheric, and it was perfect for the world view of "The Cage of the Iron Rat" with Yoko Kanno's music. I'd like to see it again. If anyone can find it, please let me know!

We have another order from the mastermind
It was in December 2019 that Kanashibari first descended on terrestrial television in the homes of ordinary people. When I think about it, it seems like a relatively recent event, but when I hear (or rather see) the year "2019," it seems like a long time ago, which is strange.
First, I went to Hyogo Sun TV, then to KBS Kyoto TV, and then to Nara TV. It seems to have appeared quite a number of times in the Kansai area, as it seems to have appeared repeatedly in the broadcasts of each station.
All of this is a conspiracy...or a plan...orchestrated by the same mastermind. And of course, the conspiracy is still going on, and yesterday, the next order came.
That's right. It's time to start preparing for the next one.
As Kanashibari is just a messenger of a man who is at the very end of this huge conspiracy, we have no way of knowing the full extent of this horrible conspiracy, but there it is. It's going to be on terrestrial waves again, and it's going to come out of the box called TV and into our homes. I'm sure the number of households that can watch it will increase dramatically next time.
I wonder what kind of shameful Kanashibari video I'll make next.

Forewarned is forearmed. Pleasure is for the brain
I haven't eaten many (or any) snacks lately, but last night I had a fierce, or perhaps morbid, urge to eat potato chips! I ran to the convenience store in the cold weather, screaming, "I want to eat potatoes! I ran into the convenience store and bought some potato chips, beer and soju-hai. In yesterday's article, I wrote, "Today I'll celebrate with a one-cup drink! I wrote in yesterday's article, "Today we'll celebrate with one cup! Because they are potato chips. That's right. As I've written many times, the purpose of a previous statement is to retract it, and two words are always attached to a man.

The hypothesis has been proven
As I mentioned before, I've been tweeting past articles from NOTE from time to time. I've set the bot to tweet once every 18 or 20 hours, which is a bit shorter than 24 hours, since I can only tweet once every 24 hours, considering that the number of articles increases by one every day.
The idea behind this is that once you've done something, you've put a lot of time and effort into it, and you want to suck it up to the bone.
So, two weeks after I started the trial, my monthly PV increased by a little more than 10%.
I hypothesized that "if I run it for two weeks and my PV goes up by a little over 10% for a month, then if I run it for a whole month it will go up by about 25%", and as a result of continuing to run it solemnly, my PV went up by 25% for a month. As a result, my PV went up by 25% in one month.
Of course, my followers have increased during that time, so I don't know if the 25% increase was purely due to "tweeting a past article once every 18 or 20 hours", but I'm sure it has a lot to do with it.
It's just a matter of "the more exposure I got, the more access I got," so it's pretty obvious, but it's nice when a hypothesis can be proven so clearly with numbers.
I'm going to have a one-cup toast today!

On the thirteenth leg
Well, it's been two days since we released the music video for "Five IQ". I hope everyone has had a chance to watch, listen, taste and digest it.
2021/02/17
Whose competence does it depend on?
It's been about a month since then, and a lot has happened in a month: three songs, "Devil Studs," "Walk Out," and "Five IQ" were released on the Kanashibari Channel, a lot of 12-inch records were unearthed at the Kanashibari base, I made friends with beautiful women from all over the world, and I've been able to make a lot of new friends. We stepped on makibishi, threw beans at demons while eating ehomaki rolls, ate yakisoba noodles with a sore tailbone whose name I can't remember, and drank one-cup bottles.
I finally started reading "The Martian Chronicles" after going through so many hurdles.
It's been a month since I managed to block out the glimpses of this book on my desk at home, and then glanced at it again. Finally, yesterday, I decided to start reading it.
Well, what can I say, it's good. I wrote in my impressions of reading "The Golden Apple of the Sun" that it was not "interesting" but "good," and that's what I felt from the very beginning. What is this feeling? What can I say?
The metaphorical expressions in the text are just too wonderful. I'm not a slow reader, but the excellent metaphorical expressions made me stop every time, so I couldn't continue reading. I'm curious to see what happens next, but I wouldn't have a problem if the story just ended without much of an ending.
I wonder if this is really the way it was written in the original. I wonder if it's really the same in the original, and if it's this good, I wonder if it's due to the translator's ability.
It's going to take me a long time to finish reading this. Or rather, I want to take the time to read it!

DETARAMEYAROU
In the convenience store industry, where the product cycle is very fast except for regular products, I don't think I'll ever see them again. With my vision blurred by tears of sadness, I groped around and bought another cup of yakisoba. I brought it to the Kanashibari base and ate it with the intention of squeezing in a lot of the tube of garlic I had in the fridge, but the mustard mayonnaise that came with it was tasty enough, so there was no need for the garlic. Thanks for the food!
So today, the music video for "Five IQ" has been released!
"Isn't "Five IQ" the one from the second EP that screams "De-ta-ra-me bastard! You're half right, half wrong. It's a new version. This is the new version. It's a new version, with a different melody and lyrics for the song in the middle (commonly called "C-melody"). If you listen to it, you'll probably notice that everything has changed quite a bit.

No longer fashionable
In this note, I have repeatedly talked about the greatness of Metallica senpai, who made whiskey by "propagating the sound waves of their music and letting it age"... but it seems that the Foo Fighters let their music be heard on sake, not whiskey! I've been talking about the greatness of their predecessors. The Foo Fighters seemed to be playing their music on sake instead of whiskey. It's no exaggeration to say that the act of "aging sake while listening to one's own music (and selling it)" has become popular.
At any rate, I'd like to compare the taste of Metallica's whiskey or Foo Fighters' sake, aged while listening to their music, and aged without listening to their music as usual.
Also, I'd like to know if anyone can analyze the frequency characteristics of the songs of different bands. I really think to myself that the "comfortable sound" is fixed and unmovable. I think I like a wide variety of music, but when it comes to making my own music (not in the sense of composing, but recording and mixing), I usually end up in a similar place.
So I think that each band has its own frequency response. For recordings, it's not only the band members, but also the producer's preference. I wonder if there's someone who can analyze and summarize it in an easy-to-understand way.
Today's "Kanashibari 30 second video" is "Walk Out" and the video is from a gig at Ikebukuro Teto on October 25, 2019. There's almost never a gig where we didn't play "Walk Out", so I have a groan-worthy amount of gig footage of "Walk Out".
Maybe tomorrow the new full music video will appear! Please subscribe to our channel!

The Holy Bible / Manic Street Preachers
The Holy Bible" by Manic Street Preachers. It's not a band I'm particularly attached to, but it's the only album I like.
Speaking of Manic Street Preachers, the guitarist Richie disappeared and was pronounced dead without being found. I thought this album was made after Ritchie's disappearance, because it sounds like a three-piece.
But still, it's so dark. I thought it was the album after Richie's disappearance because of this overwhelming "darkness". I thought it reflected the sadness of losing Ritchie. It's dark. Dark and beautiful. And catchy. If you like, it's also light-hearted. Even though it's dark.
I haven't listened to most of the albums after "The Holy Bible" because I couldn't accept the next album, "Everything Must Go," because it was too big and major.
So I listened to "The Holy Bible" for the first time in a while, and it's still good. I really think this album is a masterpiece. Incidentally, it was chosen as the number one album in the British music magazine NME's special feature on the 50 darkest albums of all time.
I think it's mentally difficult to fill up an album with "light and catchy darkness without being dull.
The 30-second video for "Kanashibari" is being updated daily!

I have no idea
Recently, I have been addicted to a certain cup of yakisoba. I don't remember the name of the product, and I didn't take a picture of it, so I don't know most of the information needed to explain it, but I've eaten it seven times in two weeks. I wonder what it's called.
I think it was called "pork bone and soy sauce flavor" on the package, not sauce flavor. I think it was called "pork bone soy sauce flavor" on the package, and the garlic was really strong. I don't think I've ever had an instant ramen or yakisoba with so much garlic in it. The garlicky pork bone and soy sauce flavor is very similar to that of Ramen Jiro. I wonder what the name of it is.
The taste is exactly like Ramen Jiro, but the quantity is not that much. I've always imagined that a cup of yakisoba would have a lot of rice noodles, but the amount is rather small. I don't know if it's because it's so good that I eat it all at once. To be frank, it's not enough at all. By the way, if you eat it with kimchi, it's so good that you will fall over. So far, I've fallen over twice. I don't know what the name of that yakisoba is.
I don't usually get "hooked" on cup ramen or yakisoba, but he seems to have turned on something in me. I can't remember the name of it, but I'll have it again tomorrow. I wonder what kind of yakisoba it is.
Today's 30-second video is "Welcome Dead". It's a song that tends to be the first song of a gig. The video is from a gig at Otsuka MEETS on April 6, 2019. It was a rare daytime event that day, and Kanashibari came on at 12:15 p.m., just when the nighttime city dwellers were about to fall asleep, with a hellish shout of "Welcome, welcome dead!!! It was a hell of a gig. I went out for a drink after that and dropped my phone.

No rebound cushion
My tailbone hurts because I spend a lot of time sitting during the day. I don't remember when I first became aware of this, but it's been bothering me quite a bit lately.
I don't remember when I became aware of it, but it has been bothering me a lot lately. Isn't this a lot of pain? I don't remember if I've been aware of it since then, but I've been noticing it lately.
So, while holding my tailbone with both hands, I rushed to the 100 yen store and bought a low-resilience cushion. I bought a low-resilience cushion. It's a 100-yen store, but it's only 500 yen. It's strange.
It was the first time I used "low rebound something", and for the first few tens of seconds I thought, "Oh! It feels good! I thought, "Oh! It's not "low rebound" anymore, it's "no rebound. Is this because it's a cheap product? Or does "low resilience" just mean "as close to no resilience as possible"?
I've been using it for a while, thinking, "Hmm, this smells like it's no good...," but I suddenly realized that I rarely feel pain in my tailbone these days.
That's right. Even "no rebound" works. It still hurts a little bit, but it's not so bad anymore. My consciousness is now free from my ass. I did it! I'm free at last!
So, today's 30-second video is "Vacuum". It took me a long time to find a video of me playing this song, so my ass hurts.
2021/02/07
Be My Baby (Motörhead cover)
Today's 30-second video is a cover of Motörhead's "Be My Baby," which I've written about many times in this note. It's the last song on Kanashibari's 3rd EP "Bacteria", but I only remember playing it once at a gig. I think it was at an all-night event in Shimokitazawa. I don't know if I've ever played it other than that. There are probably one or two more times, but I don't remember them at all. It's a simple and catchy song. It's a simple and catchy song, but I had a hard time remembering its structure.
So of course I didn't have a video of the gig, so I put the episode 5 of the Kanashibari comic that I released a long time ago as a storyboard.
The songs are covers of other people's songs, and the characters in the video are Shocker and the old man of the Chinese restaurant (Cyborg 006), with no Kanashibari. No Kanashibari in the video. They just play other people's songs. That's what you get for asking for help!
2021/02/06
That guy looks insanely good in hot sauce
Today's 30 second video is "The Eyes", a cover song by the proud Japanese rock band GASTUNK. The video is from Kanashibari's one-man gig at Shimokitazawa MOSAIC on September 29, 2018.
2021/02/05

Self-mashup
I needed to change the melody and lyrics of one part of a song, so I ported over a part of another song, and it turned out surprisingly well. Since both songs were composed by me, the mashup became self-contained. In other words, a self-mashup. I can't tell you how good it feels to get it right. I can eat three bowls of rice with this mashup.
For those of you who don't know what a mashup is, it's "a musical technique in which one vocal track and one accompaniment track are taken from two or more songs, and mixed and layered together as if they were originally a song" (by Waykipudua (Wikipedia)).
By the way, a long time ago, I tweeted a mashup video of me playing Guns N' Roses' Mr. Brownstone to Def Cut's R.I.P. Marcos (Unity Posse). It's not strictly a mashup, but more of a "mashup-like" one. However, if I hadn't played the guitar riff of Mr. Brownstone, but had extracted it from a CD or other sound source and layered it on top of the guitar riff, this would be a great mashup.
I've been wanting to make a mashup of various songs (not my own). However, I wonder if it's difficult to make them public due to the copyright of the original songs. I'm sure I'll want to release it once I've made it, though. I guess I should record it on a cassette tape and sell it secretly on the street, like a mix tape.

Pop Art Showdown
I heard that a comic book with a metal band drawn in the style of DC Comics is going to be released. I don't read or know much about American comics, and I don't even watch movies based on American comics, but I love their unique touch and worldview.
Speaking of American comics, DC Comics and Marvel Comics are the two biggest comics publishers, but Marvel Comics is more intriguing in terms of characters. Ghost Rider, Spider-Man, and Wolverine. It's like anti-heroism.
DC Comics, on the other hand, is all about Superman. I don't like Superman as much as I like Terryman from Kinnikuman.
Of course, American comics is pop art that originated in America. But the pop art that originated in Japan is something else. It's Ukiyoe, ma'am. Ukiyoe is a revolutionary pop art that changed the art (painting) that had been based on the luxury of a single piece of art into a mass-produced art by introducing the print format. It was born in the Edo period (1603-1868), so it has a different history.
Well, there was a big American band called KISS that got into the world famous pop art that originated in Japan.

Samsara of Setsubun
Today is Setsubun, isn't it? I just found out about it.
And "Isn't Setsubun supposed to be on February 3rd? Baka-yarooooo! I remembered it when I started running towards the setting sun, shouting, "You know what? I remembered that I wrote a note about it last year on Setsubun.
As I recall (I just looked at the past articles), Setsubun is not fixed on February 3rd, but on the day before Risshun, and it is "scheduled" to be February 4th until 1984, February 3rd from 1985 to 2020, and February 2nd or February 3rd from 2021 to 2100.
As you all know, Risshun is the day when the ecliptic longitude of the sun reaches 315 degrees. In other words, since it is based on the movement of celestial bodies, future dates can only be predicted based on orbital calculations. Therefore, the future date of Risshun cannot be determined, and therefore, the day before Risshun, Setsubun, cannot be determined either.
I wrote about this in this note a year ago.
Incidentally, at that time, I also found out that the custom of "Ebomaki" started in 1989 when Mr. Noda of Seven-Eleven Funairi (Naka-ku, Hiroshima City) set up the custom.
By the way, the custom of "ehomaki" started by Mr. Noda at Seven-Eleven in Hiroshima seems to have lost some of its unusual excitement recently, but I wonder how it really is.
The same thing was written in the article of the day after the article of a year ago.
Oh my, I feel like I've been going around in circles forever, and it's scary!
