Do you know a military martial song?

As for music, the newer the worse. Wynton marsalis is a reactionist in Jazz.Mariah carely sings boring songs now,although her early excellent times. Japan has already become a barren land. I have not listened to a music for a long time.
But, now I listen to music only to study foreign or old language. Then I became to have interest in other covered up music.
In fact,I discovered Military song is very interesting. We hardly listen to such a song. You may think Why ?
Because the vocabulary is quite different from the common song.
By the way, There are huge military lyrics in German. But mainly for social taboo, most of them are unknown now.( Famous"Lilly Marlene"was one of German military songs)

All you want everyday isn't me.

(image; PARIS in early 1970')

















♪
You want a lot every day
There are always many things you need
You care about reciprocation
Upon the PC keyboard
You don't always want me for your own
Only less than I could ever know
Make your despair come false
All you want every day isn't me
　
This is a parody of famous song (Mariah Carely; All I want for Christmas is you). I used a simple way. That is replacing and reversing. Mathematically,it is called transformation.

Needless promotion does more harm than good

(illustrated by kingfisher; Stupid farmer pulls seedlings of the crops.)
historical event in china "Mencius"

Needless promotion does more harm than good.
(助長）
Once upon a time in old china, there were a farmer and his son.
The farmer worried about the growth of seedlings. Because seedlings of the corps were in bad condition. He said to his son" I wish seedlings would grow well."
Farmer went to the farm,then pulled seedlings one after another. He thought this was what to do.
After all, the son was disappointed by his stupid father.
Depending on this event, old Chinese was saying"Needless promotion ,on the contrary,aggravates evils."

How music do you want to listen to now ?

Musics and songs often indicate the future social incident.
Depending on a old Chinese saying,whenever country falls into ruins, people would prefer obscene and depressive music.
In 1351 Imperial Mongol was assaulted by The Red Turban Army(It was also called white routas sect )
It is thought that the Red Turban Army spread propaganda for rebellion against Mongol by crafty popular song. The leader's mother was known as a blind musician. He took a chance and put the enemy to rout.After the death of the leader, "Zhu Yuanzhahang"lead The Red Turban Army. Mongol was ruined after all.But White Routas Buddists were suppressed by "Zhu Yuanzhang"(Hongwu Emperor)after that.
What does popular music indicate now? Is that some ominous?

Brave New World!

Actor Leonardo DiCaprio and filmmaker Sir Ridley Scott are to collaborate on a big-screen version of sci-fi classic Brave New World, it has been reported.

DiCaprio will produce and possibly star in the adaptation of Aldous Huxley's 1931 novel, a prophetic work set in a seemingly perfect 26th-Century world.

Sir Ridley, who worked with DiCaprio on Body of Lies last year, will direct the film, The Hollywood Reporter has said.(quoted BBC)
Why are we so stupid? This is the very "evolution" for mankind.

Right of registance and terrorism

I found that President Obama used the phrase quoted from "Mencius".
Mencius was a Chinese Confucian. To be different from other Confucianism, his theory is affirmative to revolution.
and insisted "right of resistance"of people against tyranny . Because this resistance is ordered by Heaven.
"Tenchu"(天誅)means punishment by heaven in Japan. This phrase is often used by persons who feel righteous indignation.(The famouse stealth game "Tenchu"is same meaning.)
In Japanese westernisation, these Confucian thinking came to combine with natural right which Locke or Rousseau emphasized in their works. But unfortunately, these thinking became to justify various terrorism.
"Showa-Ishin"was song for righteous indignation of young officers. Of course, this song was forbidden in public after February 26 incident.

They are branted a traitor.

(movie; Showa-Isin song　reproduction from Youtube)
February 26 incident is famous motif of novel and movie in Japan. Patriotic young officers rebelled against rich establishment because of their idealism and sympathy with the poor.
But they missed revolution. Emperor called them traitor.
　Lyrics to this song"Showa-Ishin" is very difficult Japanese.
