Don't Bother Knocking

Well, finally.

Thanks to Hans, Anna's good decision, and the voice(Morgan Freeman(cameo)) . I couldn't even launch a blog without them. This time I saw Twitter timeline occasionally, I was glad to know that everyone seems to be doing well, and some seemed to remember me unexpectedly, thank you. Especially, Ali, I received a lot of criticisms in the way I cannot fight back during my Twitter service, but your comments were sensible and also full of wit and charming. If I wanted the same thing as you, I would have listened to your sharp comments on my tweet. And your lively cheerful and positive everyday tweet reminded me of good things on Twitter and made me decide to get back to the Twitter world almost. Thank you, Ali. I like you. Thank you, V, if you there. Now I have finished blogging as promised. I don't know if I could have accomplished this blogging adventure without you.

I enjoyed breathing English after a long time.

When an adventure ends, this blog ends. However, the blog stays. If there is anything, you can comment on posts or mail me. I mean anything, "I love you", "I hate you", "I challenge you", "I offer you", "I patronise you", "I feed you", "I stroke you", "I groom you", "I tame you", anything.

If I find the next adventure, I will fly a bird to you.

Until then, farewell.



The wind shines, when Japanese bush warblers tweet.

Hans in the Wind 2: A wind of Japanese Poetry of Spring 1

White Day

On Valentine's Day, girls present chocolates to boys in Japan. 

Japanese people like Matsuri 祭-festival, which gives us an opportunity to strengthen community's unity and blow off steam and forget daily, perhaps modest, perhaps suffocating life. In the nineteen sixties, Japanese confectionery industry discovered potential demand through everyday commercial efforts, and Valentine's Day became a large-scale social annual event in Japan. Japanese style Valentine's Day is now some sort of Matsuri.

Why people present chocolates

People give chocolates for communication which can be classified into four classes;

Question

Devotion

Association

Obligation

REVIEW: The Theory of Everything

I had never imagined that I would pay for a love story until I saw this film. 'The Theory of Everything' is the first love story film that fascinated me. 

This is a love story--of three, based on a true story of the theoretical physicist Professor Stephen Hawking. Starring Eddie Redmayne as Stephen Hawking, Felicity Jones as Jane Hawking, Charlie Cox as Jonathan Hellyer Jones. The story describes love in a not overly romantic way, which is very comfortable, and yet there is certainly the excitement of the new relationship. "We are not normal family", Jane says. Yes, their relationships are not simple. But their love was a light, a hope, an inspiration to me.

Acting

Their acting is brilliant. Eddie Redmayne's portrayal is very detailed, and it carries strong conviction. Professor Stephen Hawking has ALS. Eddie Redmayne realistically portrays the progress of the disease, and the character's feelings and traits by limited physicality. Felicity Jones is also a formidable actor, but the delicious part of their performance is not in individual talents or skills, that is in dialogues, face-to-face communications. Their performances resonate with each other, amplify each other. The croquet sequence, for instance, is something beyond play.

A not shady invitation

Hello,

I am looking for someone to share in an adventure. Oh, you look starving for an adventure. Well, now, this is a fine chance!

The adventure has already begun, actually. I am on the way to the Hans Zimmer show in Europe. 


HOW THIS JOURNEY BEGAN 

On 14th February 2016, I said, "I'm sorry to be late, I've been pressed with an urgent work for days. Here you are, happy Valentine's Day!" and she, Anna Scott, said, "Forget about me, just have an adventure. You can go the distance" and I thought, "Oh, man, I don't have a clue in my head, what I'm gonna do with this" I also said, "I don't wanna get in trouble now", so the voice came, "You must go see Hans Zimmer live concert and write about it on a blog." 


I was once on Twitter and gathering information there, but social media didn't fit me so that I kept my distance from it since last year. That is because I noticed his tour this very late, even though I'm a big fan of Hans Zimmer.

The tour has already begun in early April. I don't know what I can do until the end of the journey. I don't know if I can go see his live performance in Europe safely. But this is about the Hans, and I think this is going to be fun, and besides, I promised someone that I would start a blog. 


WHY I WRITE THIS BLOG

I'd like to make this thing clear. Here is why:

My self-introduction

Once a beautiful man said, "Sometimes you gotta run before you can walk", and I think now is the time."


I am Tazfummy Iseki. Son of Ryoichi. Son of Taichi. A Japanese man, born and raised in Fukuoka, Japan. I start my own blog for the first time. I work at an interior design firm. A designer, a 2D/3D CAD operator, an illustrator, a writer. From now on, however, I'd like to put all these together and simply identify myself as a blogger here on the internet.

I love films. I grew up with Hollywood movies, especially action movies. And I'm addicted to film music, Hans Zimmer is my most favourite composer. It's my everyday music.

I'm interested in Heian period 平安時代, Wayō 和様(Japanese style beauty), Kana-shodō 仮名書道(Japanese brush calligraphy in Kanamoji), Waka 和歌(Japanese poetry), Bungo 文語(The Classical Japanese).

Mochi is a symbol of "Live Long and Prosper".

"Wind Shines 風光る" represents "Spring" in Japanese poetry.

Hope you'll enjoy this blog.

May the wind shine upon you!
