She was known for "Girl next door" look. This lady is Nikki Dial, who was a popular American porn actress. The first foreign naked woman who I saw was her. I was immediately hooked on her and I've liked women with defined face feature since then.
She is stunning.
My Uzbek friends were back in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. I impulsively decided to visit them for my first time for Central Asia.
I visited Tashkent and Samarkand. The European and Asian mixed local people making me feel like the Silk Road.
The food which is mainly mutton affected Islam.
The organized city reminding me of Russia which makes me feel sad.
I always wanted to visit Central Asia. It totaly lived up to my expectation!!
It was a long time after I talked to K for the last time. We has a small talk and I stated to talked her what happened to me on the day.
While I am working in the morning, my cellphone get a chat from E who I've still liked for 5 years. It says "How are you??". We start to talk about our recent lives and she says her relationship with an American guy is getting serious. I say "I'm so jelous of him...". I always flirt with her like this ans she always perfectly responses. Then J I met in Manila also sends a chat.
I already explained it on another entry. ①&② were in front of me together. I haven't had a love making with E yet. (We have made out though) It's a platonic love which I don't usually have. On the other hand, Having sex with J is just awesome. We have a good chemistly and really enjoy it. A woman who you rally love and Another woman who you love to have only sex with can exsist together at the same time.
In general, 99% of men can feel me, but women can't understand that. They would think I'm a two timer.
On the night, K told me "I can understand that". She had no clue about that 5 years ago. Time will tell. She is one of my best female friends now.
She gave me a simple advice. "You can never be with E. That's why you like her." It's deep but I think I understand it.
It is located at the skirt of Mt. Pinatubo erupting before and had American Clerk base. Kamikaze attackers took off from the base at WW2. This interesting city is known as well as Sin city.
My first philippines trip lived up to my expectation in terms of nice locals and the culture such as food, music and so on.
I hope to visit there again. I want to do "shopping" in Manila and chill out on an island next time.
I try to look around in capital cities in Asia for business. Malati in Manila is like abusiness area in developed countries. However, I easily got to know other areas have the poor and lack of security by seeing them.
I met "J" with Indian feature in Manila. She seemed not interested in talking to me but I kept talking to her. She began to be friendly and caring. She was getting drunk and started to use Tagalog. Tagalog is influenced by Spanish. I could guess context by Spanish words. She was becoming affectionate and cuddled to me.
I asked her to come over to my hotel. She just nodded with a lovely smile. I felt it was really sweet. She gave me Latin passion in Asia at the night.
I went to Cebu, Manila and Angeles in the Philippines for my first time on vacation. Cebu is a great resort with a beautiful sea. I enjoyed local seafood and beer at day. I was laid back all day to forget busy daily life.
I went to downtown in Cebu at night. The main street has bars and clubs. Filipinas are really friendly and love dancing and drinking. They are so much fun to be around.
Whenever I buy them drinks, they tale tequila shots. I was getting drunk so I decided to try a semi developed duck egg called balut... It tasted rich and smelled like a pussy. It looked so gross...
Why on earth are Sounth eastern girls fun to be around? I got into Filipinas on my first day.
I was craving for Sushi so I visited my friends in Singapore. Singapore is a well developed Asian country. It is well organized and has mannar. The economy is very stable and developing. It is the most convenient Asian city for expats.
We enjoyed Sushi, Bak Kuh Teh, local noodles, etc. After our appetite is satisfied, Libido comes next!! 6 of us felt like picking girls up and hit the bar which is popular among Asian female expats. Each one immediately made a move and I began to talk to this Vetnamese girl, L. She studied Japanese at her school and had white skin despite a South East Asian girl. Her grandpa was a Chinese immigrant. I imagined her in Áo dài, which turned me on. We went back to the hotel together. She spent the night with me and said "I wanna study Japanese again" when leaving.
Singapore was independent by Chinese immigrants. Japan occupided it for a little while but it's pretty pro-Japanese. I took a cab and the old cab driver asked me where I was from. Then he was so happy that I was Japanese. "Japan is good. I love Japanese." intently said by him with Singlish.
Japanese left wings say Asia hates Japan but They mean the Asia describes only K***a and C***a. Other parts of Asia don't hate Japan. They are mature enough to understand the war was just a history.
Everybody has a different fettish. You feel excited by various circumstances. Pain, Tieing, Swapping, Showing your masterbation, Entertaining him/her, Dirty talk...
Once you list them up, it turns out your brain feels excitments, not your body. Your sense is limited.
This movie is about a guy having a bizzare fettish.
Sex which have been since humen beings were born.
Lies which are the action after human being obtain wisdom.
Videotapes which civilizations created.
そんな彼なら捨てちゃえば？
Sex and the Cityの脚本家グレッグ・ベーレントが手がけた作品。
スカーレット・ヨハンソンが好きだから見た映画。
あんな子に好かれたい。。。
男が女に興味ない時の行動が、見事に表現されている。
女子に見られると困るな。
He's Just Not That into You
He's Just Not That into You.
A script consultant of Sex And The City, Greg Behrendt works on the movie. I watch it beause I like Scarlett Johansson. I wish that kind of girl comes to like me...
The movie perfectly depicts the actions by a man when he is not interested in a girl who likes him.
I don't want girls to watch it becuase they will find out how men act.
Korea always tries to compete with Japan. How come?
I made some Korean friends in NY. They are very nice and I'm still in touch with them. But even they are very hostile to Japan interms of certain topics such as territories, wars, histories related to Japan and Korea.
One day I got together with a Korean chick at her place and her friends came over there. It ended up 1 Japanese and 8 Koreans gethering. We were drinking , chatting and playing cards, then one news broadcasted on the TV saying an dispute island between Korea and Japan. A girl brought up...
"Leo, what do you think about that?"
"Well, even if the island is ours or yours, my life won't change. I don't wanna talk about it." I tried to be as diplomatic as possible.
She continued "Which means...."
"It's ours! Our educations are different. We shouldn't talk about it. This is an endless discussion."
One guy whispered "F**k!!"
I tried to calm down and said "Don't say F**k, dude! It's meaningless to provoke each other."
The non-productive conversation kept going for minutes.
Then my Korean chick defended and save me "Guys, Leo is only Japanese here. It's unfair. Let's cut it off"
I was vabally tortured by 8 Koreans and I couldn't give up as a Japanese.
I don't usually talk about this kind of dispute because it's endless. They study their own history and Japanese study their history. Some histories can be created to manipulate people. It happens.
Neibours should get along to fight against threats from outside or even inside.
I don't think Japan is a threat for Korea.
My favorite saying is "He is his own worst enemy."
An unspoken rule.
My friends and I have an unspoken rule which is "Do not get laid with a girl over 3 times if you are not serious to her" Over 3 time love making makes one of you emotional, and she/he will start falling for you. If she/he is not possesive at the 3rd sex, the person can be your friend with benefits.
There are 2 kinds of sex which turn men on.
1. Dirty sex with a chick who you can show a true fantasies.
2. Pure sex with a chick who you are in love with.
Ecstacy is created by your brain, so either way, feelings will gradually wear off.
This is a movie makes you think about putting youself in thier shoes which is the same as Indecent Proposal. The movie is based on a play which was really popular. It's very real. I'm a jealous person and also twisted, so I can perfectly understand the main charactor Jude Law. By the way he is so cool despite being bold. I like his fashion too.
All good things come to an end. My close friend finishes his employment contract, and he is leaving for good. This guy really helped me out. I can never stop appreciating him. He is always kind and doesn't put on airs.
We became good friends without business in the last 2 and half years. We traveled together and had dinner once a week together. We struggled working with locals and going on dates with local girls for 3 years.
This country is very tough to live. There are tons of business chances, but the hardship discourages you. It spreads all over your body and you will feel exhausted just like cancers.
But It is also attractive and addictive just like drugs or promiscuous girls.
Your dick is your brain at your late 10's to 20's. Your dick makes decisions. When I was on the stage, this girl lectured me.
I met her at a club and she looked flashy but once I talked to her, I immediately realized she is smart. She went to a prestigious university and worked at a piano bar at night.
I hid my libido and asked her to come over to my place to have my cooking and weed. A few days later, she came over and we started to smoke up. Firstly we taste my cooking and I was going to taste her as well. While cooking, I was asked a question.
"Have you ever read No Longer Human by Osamu Dazai?"
"Nope. How come?"
"It starts with the sentence saying My life is full of shame. It's just as you. lol"
It was like she sees through EVERYTHING I was thinking about. I was not enough strong to take all discouraging words back then. I couldn't make any moves. I just cooked her dinner.I was horny, so I tried to fulfill myself by jerking off. I realized I was a real loser and it was just an immoral conduct.
Her metaphor was I'm alike the guy in the novel who is from a wealthy family, sleeps around, lazy and ends up killing himself. How would I response now?
I would say "Thanks for the compliment!!" with a lovely smile. lol
Wandering, backpacking and fucked up with alcohol...
I cant do any of these because I'm physically and mentally weak. For wandering and bagpacking needs filthy places to stay without showers. I'm not up for it. Being fucked up with alcohol needs strong liver and stomach. I always get heart burn or stomach pain when I drink too much. My body can't take it.
Yutaka Kamoshida, the writer of "Asia pa-den" is mentally and physically storng, but also he is very sensitive. His sentences are unique by using his keep foresight and he ends stories with nostalgia. I respect him since he can do what I cannot do.
I was invited to a warehouse party by a white friend in Brooklyn. The friend was popular among girls because he was an entrepreneur, good built, tall and smart. After I got there, he already had a date, so I decided to cruise to find a girl. I was in a line to buy a drink then a girl in front of me dropped a bill. I let her know that and we started to talk.
Her name is "A", Jewish Vietnamese American.She moved to NYC a few weeks ago to work as a model from Miami. She was not tall but with a great figure and beautiful tanned skin. I was nicely talked to her at the night to expect the next date and we decided to meet up next week.
A few weeks after we started to hang out, I found out something weird about her. She always called up some guy friends when we were together. I had no clue what she wanted.
One day she texted me saying "Can I come over to your crib tonight? I wanna have a slumber party:)" I was like "WHAT?!", but I said ok. She came over to my place and we had fun chatting, watching a movie, and drinking, then she slept in the same bed. You don't have to think about anything in the case. My thought was only one thing, so I tried to make out with her...
"I don't put out. Just sleep Leo."
What a bitch!! My best friend, "C" advised I shouldn't waste my time on her. She was the worst cock-teaser ever!!
There is one of men I admire is Ryu Murakami. He knows about food, drinks, economics, music, sports, travels, and so on. He is super cool.
"5 fungo no sekai" tells me to be worried about the country.
"First night, Second night and Last night" reminds me of the first love.
"POST popart no aru heya" teachs me art.
"Murakami Ryu no ryouri shousetsushu" makes me curious about food.
"Subete no otoko ha shoumouhin de aru" notifies me the respect to women.
I believe the men who don't respect women are assholes!!
If you think Murakami, it gotta be manly Ryu Murakami, not sissy Haruki Murakami!!
I talked to my friend, A about which Vietnam war movie is your favorite, and it's been in ages that I watched his, Full Metal Jacket and mine, Platoon.
It's really cruel and lively that they destroy young boys' personality to make soldiers. A contradiction of the main character wears a peace mark batch and a message, "Born to kill" written on his helmet shows human nature in wars, which makes this movie a masterpiece. The CM of Family Computer Wars is a parody of this movie. It bring me back.
Flirty Charlie Sheen acts fantastically in Platoon. A scene that shows Sergeant Elias is shot by Vietnamese who never give up and have the strongest mentally is speechless. The BGM picked by Oliver Stone is just awesome.
It's been for ages since the last time I talked to this friend. He is "M" who is my first guy friend after I moved to NY. He is looks calm, but he is manly and has a strong sense of reciprocity
He is like a war buddy because we often went out to pick white girls up. "Asian guys don't get girls" It's not a myth. It's perfectly true. M and I won the war and got white girlfriends. M broke up with the girlfriend after living with her for 3 years. At the time, I felt sorry that I wasn't able to drink with him to encourage him to overcome and move on since I already left NY.
He has worked hard as usual, and he is getting popular as an interior designer in NY.
When I get my house built, I will ask him to design my house like the Fallingwater by Frank Lloyd Wright
We went through struggling studying English, having relationships and learning academy together. I'm in the mood for listening to this song that we were drunk and humming one night.
Finally I'm going to talk about "Night life". Underground business in Bangkok is Disney Land for men. There are millions of entertainment for men. It's just like a Harlem. If you want to know it more, google it. There are plenty of website explaining about it online.
Most of the girls in the industry come from poor families. They earn money to financially support their parents or pay tuition for their siblings. There are some girls are left by their husband after the delivery. It's an unstable and stressful job. The girls go for alcohol, drugs and night outs to forget the loneliness and they often come to rip customers off. Prostitutes are not accepted like Holland and Germany, but the huge industry is there. All the girls are cheerful and strong minded.
Let me define Thailand by using a sociologist, Shinji Miyadai's idea. In case you suppose the world end is based on reincarnation relating to merit making in Thai Buddhism, the subject like thinking about the meaning of life or seeking a purpose in the history is already out of date. The subject which is not to be affected by any meanings like the girls who use their body to make money so that they can make their desires come true came out and it causes the new change starts.
My life is stressful and has no entertainment in this abstemious country. The Thai girls save me with their cheerfulness, kindness and devotion. I feel simply happy when they say "you are good looking" even if it's not true. Men are simple and stupid. lol The Thai girls see through men's feelings and it makes me feel even awe.
This idea is also based on Nietzsche's concept. After you follow the flow of eternal return without any purpose and get out of a group binding with a full of meanings such as herd of livestock, you will re-born as a overman who is a new subject, which is the concept in the philosophy of Nietzsche.
A new era may be coming to Thailand. I try to sound very logical and academic, but the main nature of mine is dirty mind at all times:p (End)
Thailand is a pro-Japanese country. The both royal families have a long friendship and I suppose one of the best countries for Japanese to live.
The Country I live has a man dominant society and 90% of people in public are men. They are so aggressive and pushy. Waiters in restaurants are male. They don't know so called "service". They throw dishes and table wares which annoys me. Besides the people in this country don't know manners. They don't say Thank you and Sorry, and they don't wait...etc. There is no chance to meet girls. It's really boring for singles like me.
In contrast, Thais are hard workers, friendly and have amazing hospitality. (Especially Ladies) In addition, They have good manners and Thailand is stress-free. But The Thai mentality is very strong which shows Thailand wasn't occupied at WW2. They are very calm, but once they are snapped, it's a nightmare. It often happens that guys murder with uncontrollable anger and Ladies cheated by guys cut their dicks off!! They are the race having great smiles, proprieties and mightiness.
After finding out such Thailand, I came to like it a lot. I saw many students asking for donation for the terrifying earthquake taking place in Japan and huge message boards for praying for Japan in Bangkok. I was just simply happy and moved. Japan has many Japanese who don't like Japan, but some Asian countries love Japan. I've always wanted to give something in return to them and I want to be nice and kind to them such as Taiwan, Singapore, Hongkong, etc.
I make this kind of decent excuses to go to Thailand :p
(To be continued)
The country I live has direct flights to Japan, but the head office notified me not to use them due to the security concern. It was 1 and half year ago. I've used one stop flights over expensive direct flight by Japanese aviation companies. Before transferring here, my contract was to have business trips to Japan once a month. However, those internal business commitments in Japan are not remain. I go back to Japan once every 3 months, which is not bad. I usually transit flights to Japan in the land of smiles, Thailand. It's the most time saving and reasonable, and also have Thai food or Thai massages to kill time. Beside, I can save miles!!
I escaped to Japan for 2 weeks for a summer vacation. I always stopover in Bangkok on my way back. The city I live doesn't have Japanese ingredients, and even beef, pork and seafood either. Business people sent from Japan are allowed to visit Thailand or Singapore to buy Japanese food with benefits. They smuggle stuff with big cardboard boxes or suitcases. If you get caught, you can get away with it with bribes. Is it f**king hard to live here?
I make this kind of decent excuses to go to Thailand :p
(To be continued)
Have you made eye contact with babies? Have you smiled at babies? Almost all of you have done that befor and I think the babies have smiled back at you.
"If there is no concept, there is no word for it." by Saussure
Babies don't know words, but why the heck do they know the concept of smiles?
That smile made by babies is thought that it's an unconcious communication in neuroscience. This action is caused by Mirror neuron which mimicks action done by others like mirrors. Other primates also have it and it's in an old part of your brain. The old part of it is different from the position of the speech area which controls speaking. Then some scientists thought about ahpothetical theory for that by knowing the different location of mirror neuron and speech area.
In remote ages, we didn't have languages. People express feelings with body languages or face expressions. The scientists presume that Mirror neuron started in order to share feelings with others .
The interesting thing is this neuron is developed for only a few years after you are born. Nowadays, it's said that carrying a baby is better than piggyback. This trait may run in generations to generations without thinking.
I'm convinced to smile at my future baby so that his/her mirror neuron will be able to developed, and he/she will become a kind kid to easily sympathize with others.
Ferdinand de Saussure who wrote Course in General Linguistics said "Unless there is a concept, there is no word for it". In other words, If there is no snow in a country, there is no word for snow in the country.
BUT, a Japanese invented a word to describe a sound of silence.
Chilean artist "G" is the most emotioal girl I've ever met. Her family ran away from the dectator, Pinocheto, and entered Mexico first then migrated California. Since she left her contry, she has been anxious and used full of her 5 senses to survive. She studied English by watching movies, which got her in to movies. I met her at a Japanese movie festival held byJapan foundation in NY. She was a pro Japan who likes Japanese art. After we watched a weird movie about a Japanese man who has a STD, we were headed to a Sake bar in East Village. She was a lesibean liking drinking, eating and having sex. I dropped her off at the station which if for passengers living in surburbs. We kissed passionately and called it a night.
One week later, she came over to my place and I cooked her authenitic Japanese food. She broght a nice Chilean wine. Sipping the nice wine turned us on and we wanted each other...
She had a star shaped scar on her right belly and a heart shaped scar on her left belly. Touching the scars, she said "I just wanted to hurt myself when I was younger and I like to let the hair grow like French actresses in 60's..." Her pubic hair wasn't trimmed at all.
She was an artist as well as a Latina. There is no doubt that she was emotional and also passionate. Once she snapped, she always used swear words wherever she was. She, however, was the most passionate woman on bed. She totally enjoyed it at 120%. I remember she told me that the most sensual thing for her is to get cum in her throat.
"I never repress my feelings" This is what she said while we were dating.
Maria Elena from "Vicky, Christins, Barcelona" reminds me of her.
お互いのことを知らなかった僕らはたくさん会話をし、あっという間に仲良くなった。
彼女はNYに5年もいるのにスシを食べたことがないという。
そんな彼女をSex And The Cityでも使われた、
West Villageのブラジル＋日本のフュージョン料理 Sushi Sambaに連れて行った。
初めて食べるSushiは受けつけなかったようで、大分残していた。
しかし彼女は、「ちょっとユニークだったけど、おいしかったわ。」と、
またまぶしい笑顔で言ってくれた。
本当は肉料理が大好きなE。社交辞令も上手。そんな彼女に僕は夢中になっていった。
Everybody has a woman you can't forget. I can't forget E from Central America. I'm not bragging about myself, but I'm quite popular for am asian guy. I've spent a night with around 100 women including some hookers... (Normal girls are majority out of 100!!) I've had approximately 30 girlfriends. (I didn't give them money to keep the relationship!!) E is the best girl I've ever met in terms of her personality and apprearance!!
I met her in NYC. She got married to a guy to left her homeland which had a horrible civil war at her 18. She was entitled to enroll a medocal school with grant in Cuba, but her husband and she migrated to NY. She worked as a babysitter and waiter, etc for 5 years. She spent het youth to survive in NY and she started to think that she wanted to take her youth back, then She met me. I had already decided to leave NYC for good. It was 4 months before I took off NYC...
We were just friends who said hi to each other in the first 2 weeks. One day, she looked disappointed looking her cell phone.
"What's wrong, E?" "My friend stood me up"
"Well, you don't have any plans today?" "No"
"Would you like to go somewhere to hang out with me?" "I'd love to!!"
She gave me the shining smile. I was a womanizer, but I was nervous and my heart was beating like crazy!!
We didn't know each other at all and we hit it off through the conversations we had. She said she had never eaten Sushi despite the fact that she lived in the foodie city, NYC for 5 years. I decided to take her to Sushi Samba, which was a Japanese and Brazilian fusion restaurant in West Village. She ate Sushi for her first time and she left the most of it. She, however, told me "It was a bit unique, but tasty:)" and gave me a lovely smile again. She really loved meat. She respected another culture. I got into her. We were headed to a Jazz bar and chilled out for a while there. All of a sudden, a Jazz band started this song. I didn't think my feelings would be just like the song at all back then...
I was busy for 2 weeks due to a business trip and a travel. Travels with good fellows are always refreshing me. The highlight in the travel this time is a suite room at Lebua Hotel at State Tower. It's no doubt. It was just awesome drinking and watching Bangkok underneath.
I have a favorite Thai girl in Bangkok. I didn't spend enough time with her this time. She's acted weird after the travel. As if "When poverty comes in at the door, love flies out at the window." Even if you get fed up with not productive relationships, you will gradually feel like dozing by the illusion of happiness again and again. No matter what happens, the land of smiles always smiles at you. What a GREAT country.
Bossa Nova got me into Latin. At my 15, I fell in love with Latin looking at pictures of Brazil and litening to "The girl from Ipanema" by Astrad Gilberto. I had listenned to noisy music, but the comfy, calm and energetic melody made my heart beat. Above all, the beauty of latin women stole my heart.
I started to listen to Samba, Latin Jazz, Salsa, Merengue, Bachata, Reggaeton, Latin House, Latin Pop and so on. I always listen to them in Summer.
NYC is heaven for me to be able to feel and touch Latin culture. I always hung out with "C" who is mixed Irish and Dominican.
He talked about Latin to me all the time. The day I left NY, he cried for me. I'm really glad that I made a best friend in a different country like the US.
Walsh and Italian mixed lady, "D" told me about John Mayer.
I was in some online communities on a few SNS. She found me there and emailed me. Both of us love music and we began to get along each other. One day we decided to meet up in Hoboken, NJ where she lived.
The city where Frank Sinatra was born has a neautiful ambience, and the view of Manhattan looks the most beautiful from the city compared to other cities around Manhattan.
We meet up and get in a roof-top bar and we are drinking looking at Manhattan. She gets typsy and starts to talk about her husband. He is Russian American and started spousal abuse after the marrige. She left him and they have been separated for 2 years. She said "Asian guys are cute" and "I don't want you to go back home tonight..."
We move to her place and she opens a bottle of red wine, but we leave a glass on the table and we make out on bed. The music played was "Sexy Mothef**ker" by Prince. She didn't have sex for the last 1 year and she asks me to go rough on her. I do the nastiest things I can think about and she ends up coming. I see her coming and I put my d**k into her...
Next day we wake up and I tell her I have plans. She drives me to the station. The view of Manhattan gets me blue somehow.
"We should meet up in your greek neiborhood next time!."
John Mayerの"No Such Thing"は、
NYCを離れた時の決断が正解であったのかを考えさせられる。
John MayerがJessica Simpsonと別れていなかったら、どうだろう？
どうでもいいや。笑
Everyone has a regret.
I don't like "Shoulda, Coulda, Woulda", but it was totally my turning point that I leaft NYC. I don't know whther it's right. I left NYC for my family for good.
If I hadn't left NYC, what would I be doing now?
If I didn't take any advice and I did whatever I want, how would I be?
No Such Thing by John Mayer reminds me of the decision of leaving NYC.
If John Mayer hadn't broken up with Jessica Simpson, how would it be now?
I don't give a shit though! lol
No Such Thing by John Mayer
このPVはNYCで撮影。グラフィティの大御所・Futura 2000も出演。
This PV is shot in NYC. Futura 2000 is also in it.
I usually read only Japanese books, but there is exceptions. One them is Jack Kerouac. He was recommended by my senior at a college.
About him, he is an author representing "Beat generation". After WW2, the people of Beat generation insist " The happiness you believe is fake such as a house with a back yard, a car, a TV and shopping on weekends..." which was a typical happiness for Americans and it was the American dream.
The city I live, NYC is related to him. One day, I went to the exbition of "On The Road" at New York City Library with my 36 year old bohemian friend, and she pointed at a sentence which was saying... "I absolutely refuse to be an adult" She laughed and said "It's just like you"
You now think that Jack Kerouac is like Peter Pan. I slacked off in NY and I want to defend yourself?!? The answer is yes and no. lol Because Beatnik writers influenced the later culture a lot!! In 50's, Jackson Pollack
invented Action painting to describe Abstract expressionism. Charlie Parker created a bas of modern Jazz. Especially Rock was inspired by Beatnik and Bob Dylan is one of the Beatnik Rock artists. 50's is a transit of a period and many creaters who are outside the box appeared. This cultual wave also expanded in 60's. It caused Hippie and Pop art. It's thought that anti-authority and out-law underground culture which is against the main
stream and the typical life style started from Beat generation.
I will introduce some beatnik writers.
William Burroughs "Naked Lunch"
He shot his wife while he was playing "William Tell" with her. He is in "Drug Store Cowboy" by Gus Van Sant. It's one of the best drug movies.
Allen Ginsberg "Howl"
He insisted ligalization of marijuana and anti war. He loved Buddhism.
The stuff in common by them is alcohol, drugs, travels and curiosity of sex(the above 2 guys were bi-sexual and the rest was gay). They first brought the idea of Buddhism into the US and seeked the meaning of life. They didn't care about
stereotypes and prejudice. They didn't deny black sheep. I can't follow the way they lived, but I want to have the sense and ideas like they had. The things you like may be influenced by "Beatnik"!!
One of my favorite Visual artists, Michel Gondry. He made a PV of Cibo Matto.
I like his works, especially Eternal Sunshine of The Spotless Mind.
It's set in NY. A guy and a girl meet in Montauk. I lived in NYC, but I regret not going to Montauk which is 3 hours away from Manhattan.
The last scene of the movie is unveguous for me. I can take it in a positive and either negative way. It totally depends on my mood.
A movie "The Usual Suspects". One of my favorite movies. It can lead spoiler. I won't say anuthing about the movie for you who hasn't watched it. The movie is stunning!! Other stunning movies that I just came up with are "Seven" and "Planet of the Apes". A scene in which a guy saying "He's gone" is freaking cool!!
Why do you get hooked on something when you are young?
In my case, it's due to lack of experience + curiosity and getting girls. I wanted to show how cool I am.
It's just like smoking looks cool.
Put some chill out music for nice ambience, dress nicely, place comfy furniture, eat yummy food and enjoy drinks, talk about movies, books and phylosophy....
Frankly, the motivation was girls!! I was f**king superficial.
But, I still like those things although dirty mind motivated me at first. Nevertheless once you get hooked, you will realize deepness or comfort of the things, and seek more and more... The motivation is just the start. It's not essential to come to like things more and more.
People in NYC are the way they are. They are not picky about fashion daily. They, however, dress nicely on specoal occasions. Everything is the way it is about music, food, apartments, leisure , whatever. They know how to enjoy life, and It made me think Tokyo was too much. Mind is not developed yet in Japan. There are just a lot of materials and convenience. The view of enjoying life is still developing...
My close friends were Latin in NYC. They know what they are doing about enjoying life, and thier motivation was girls as well...
Life Is Like A Samba by David Benoit
"Life is like a samba, easy come and easy go that's what they say
Life is like a samba tune, so be carefull whan you give you heart away!"
I love music. I can live without music, but I love it.
I got into music after I began listening to many kinds of it at my early 10's. I started with American rock, 90's R&B and Hip Hop, Grange, Punk, Melocore, Ska, Soul, House, Bossa Nova, Scandinavian pops, Country, etc. I dug up all types of music. I was really curious about music as if sponge absorbed water.
At my middle 10's, I started to collect Various Artist CDs by Club events in Tokyo such as Free Soul, Groovy Rock Caravan, etc.
and Club music as well. It made me want to live in Tokyo. There was no internet and Tower Record in my hometown. It was very hard to get music information and know what's in or going on in music industry. I believed there was only Tokyo that made my dream come true.
I moved to Tokyo and I was inspired by everything everyday. One day I met some DJs and they got me into DJ. World famous DJs fascinated me.
The next destination came to be NYC naturally. I felt the birth place of Various music genre and culture, and cutting edge fashion. I financially sucked up my parents. I knew I eventually needed to go back to Japan to start a stable life. I am now working in oversea.
The music I like is all music. I post some music through my blog.
I can't stop loving Latin music. I feel like it tonight.
I started this blog in order that I can express what I really feel like, think about and talk about. Please leave the blog if you find expressions which are inappropriate or disgust you. I just would like to write down to record my real life and thoughts.
