Third-generation Japanese-English; James Iha 日系3世 ジェームス・イハ(English&日本語)

This made me so surprised so I posted it.
There is a song that James Iha(from Smashing Pumpkins) offered Chara(Japanese Artist). He also participated in the music video.
Sounds really the Smashing Pumpkins!
It makes me confuse whether Billy influences Jemes or Jemes influences Billy after I have listened to this music.
Though I think that this is a taste of James at least.
I feel a little that a song “skirt” sounds Billy taste.
What was the problem between James Iha and Billy? They seemed to have a fight before their band broken up.

ちょっと驚いたので載せます。
James　Iha　ジェームス・イハがチャラに提供した曲　本人もPVに 参加。

ほとんどスマッシング・パンプキンスの曲調。
これを聴くとビリーがジェームスに影響を与えたのか、ジェームスがビリーに影響を
与えたのかわからない。

すくなくても　はジェームスのテイストだと思うけど。スカート(曲)はちょっとビリーなかんじが？
解散寸前は二人は険悪だったようだけれどなにがあったのでしょうか。

ルーシー・ブラックマンについて About Lucie Blackman (日本語＆English)

日本はなぜ真実を隠すのでしょうか？10年ほど前にルーシー・ブラックマンというイギリス人女性が日本人男性に殺されました。しかしイギリスに来て6年くらいたった後殺害した男性の国籍は韓国人と書かれていました。日本にいたときはそんな事は一切報道されていません。殺人を犯した人の身元を隠す必要があるのでしょうか？これは韓国人を差別する要素にはならないはずです。イギリスでテロが起きたときもパキスタン出身のイギリス人など元の国籍は発表されませんでした。殺人を犯した人間を憎むのではなく、原因をつきとめる事に意味があるのではないでしょうか？たとえ誰かが虐殺をしたとして彼らのせいにしても何も問題解決になりません。犯罪者を作り上げているのは社会で、犯罪者だけを責めて、中身をみなくては解決には繋がらないと思います。


Why Japanese people hide the fact. 10years ago, Lucie Blackman, who was an English girl, was murdered by a Japanese guy. It was about 6 years later since I came in England, I found an article on the newspaper about the murderer. According to this, his nationality is South Korean. But it wasn’t reported at all in media in Japan. Why does they need to hide his identity? I think this cannot be an element of discriminates toward the South Korean people, but when terrorism event happened in Britain, they were announced that they are English originally from Pakistan. We shouldn't only hate the murderers, we should look at the meaning behind the event. Even if someone slaughtered people and people just accused this murderer we wouldn't solve the real problem. It is a society that makes up the criminal. So I think if we blame on only the criminal without seeing contents of the fact behind, we cannot reach to the solution.

Women are pure and Men are dirty? 女性は清らかで、男性は汚れている？ (English & 日本語)

As an image, woman is the icon of beauty, pure, grace, beautiful and giving love to people. Man is strong, protecting family, working and training to develop inner mind for his life.
This is just my image. I am sure other people have different image for both.The men’s image which could be roughness, wildness, strength and women’s pure and clean image, both of them use them as their weapon and shield.
Prostitution or some sort, there are many on internet, because it can be good business.Perhaps, men are not wild(dirty) or women are pure, but those people try to expand the image and play the game with those tools. An woman who feels pleasure because she is going to be dirtier or A man who feels good to make women dirty.
To break the image of pureness that is the act of destroy, so they feel pleasure. They want to connect sexual idea with them. Human beings need that stimulation so much?
If they can step back and see themselves very carefully. They will realise that sex is not that dirty, they create the image of dirtiness and forbidden idea of sex by their tools. If there is a love, sex is no longer dirty or forbidden.

女性のイメージは美の象徴。そして清らかであり、おしとやかであり、美しく、愛を与える。男性は力強く、家族を守り、仕事をし、内面を育てる訓練に人生をつくす。
これは僕の見解で人によって違うであろう男性は男性の荒々しさ、そして強さ、そして女性は女性の清らかで清伯なイメージというものを男性、女性両方が武器また防具にしている気がする。
風俗や性を売る商売。お金になるからインターネットにもはびこる。欲求を売り物にして。男性は汚くもなく、女性も清らかでもないのかもしれない。でもそれを大げさにし、男性と女性でゲームをプレイしている様。　自身が汚れることに快感を持つ女性、汚れているものが自分の世界に入る快感。汚れさせることに快感を持つ男性。
イメージを打ち砕こうとするからそれが破壊行為として快感を感じる。そこに性を結びつけようとする。人間にはそんなに刺激が必要なのだろうか。一歩下がって自分を冷静に見たら。性というものは自分が思っているより汚くもなく、イメージを道具により汚れさせ、またその作られたイメージを使うことが間違っているとわかるだろう。健康的な愛がそこにあれば、どんなことがあっても性というものは汚らしいものではないと思う。

Rufas Theatre/ London Report

My friend has got a free ticket of a theatre play(opera) at Sadler's Wells. Rufas Wainwrights is the composer of this play. I am not big fan of him, but I like this song. I do not really like how he performs… better just listen to the music.

http://www.sadlerswells.com/show/Rufus-Wainwrights-Prima-Donna
The show was really horrible. Last song was quite nice, but the story was not impressive… well everything was not the greatest…. I would say 32 out of 100… I do not think Rufus is very popular but it makes people understand he does opera… I felt a limitation of pop singer does something different… like Johh Greenwood does classical piece. Probably I might do in the future (classic even if I am not trained at all ) but sometimes we should be in the position we should be,,, well people will judge anyway… I just do not like the idea to advertise some show just because pop singer composed… I think direction or writing is more important on theatre… This was the most boring opera I have ever seen.

Poof

When I was walking on the street, a middle aged English guy come towards me and saying “you are looking like a fucking poof!” then he grab my arms. “you look like a poof” I was like… “poof?” and he said poof! Then he walked away as he thought I m stupid or don’t understand English. Certainly I did not understand, he was right. I kind of knew what that means. I used dictionary later. poof , poof.
POOF/puf/ noun (BrE) ! slang) an offensive word for a HOMOSEXUAL man
…..
I was wearing. Purple trousers, black jacket, black and white scarf, glasses and colourful umbrella. Is this make people think I am gay? If he said “look like” probably he thought I am not, but look like..
