誕生日によせて、英語で教授のこと、いろいろ書いてみました。


Today, january 17th is RS's birthday.
Today, RS released a couple of CD "Year book 2005-2014" in pairs.
It's compilation albums including 30 pieces which hasn't been released.
Like for 40th anniversary of TV seting up of television station
, a theme music for TV opening, CM for car maker or dress maker and others.
It costs 4,500 Yen without tax----about 41$ including tax.

Since he got sick, all the news about RS has been stopped and the plan releasing his new album has stopped, too.
There has been nothing we recieved his news.
So I was so glad to get this album.
Actually I wanted to get his new pieces that I could play.
Otherwise I almost have nothing to play---recently I've often played RS' tunes
I used to play.
This time, these albums have many musics for CM that I can't play.
Besides, music scores aren't released.
But still, I'm glad anyway.

However, to tell the truth, I'm waiting and longing for his new album that he has planed releasing.
A new album with score.

By the way, I made a poem for "The Last Emperor" and singing to record now.
To make the poem, I listened to this tune again and again---about one hour.
It was orchestra version, and I was surprised afresh to listen to the introduction.
It led me to the Chinese historical story immediately---just introduction.

And I imagined the history of the Era of The last Emperor in China.
and felt a little sad.
In this movie, each one's life looked very tiny---even The emperor of large country.
everyone's life was swallowed up by the huge stream of the history.
So I was a little frightened to think that each human's life is just a tiny thing
for huge stream of history.
And I felt I couldn't make any poem because of the fear.
So I said to myself---Think, think--more positive idea---Isn't there anything
encouraged idea?
Then I remembered a novel by Japanese writer, Motoko Arai.
I forgot the title but----It's a story about the day of the end of the world that
the earth was destroyed by falling stone or something.
When the news was announced and given a notice the day, a girl, the heroine decided to go and see her beloved boyfriend at the final day of all humankind.
She chose only one thing to do at the end of the world---going to see her boyfriend and spend the last moment of thier life with him.
She took a long time and had troubles so much ,
and when she finally get there, she really felt relief to be able to see
him and spend the last moment of thier life with him.
and she was satisfied with happiness---no fear, no sadness--just relief and
satisfaction.
If your life is to be like this----it isn't empty, I thought.
So I made a poem with this idea.
