The Newer ,The More Boring, Future Of Pop Music

Internet Era enable us to listen so many musics in the world.  Various genres of music, songs are uploaded on Youtube.  And  I got many foreign musics , songs by itunes .

After 1970's,  in the western countries, pop musics became homogeneous, genres were mixed, and impressive songs got eclipsed by tasteless, commercialism. 

 Especially, In Japan and Germany, traditional songs became undermined by American musics. After 1980's ,in these country , songs have been losing impressive phrases in their lyrics. Phonological irrelevance between melody, rhythm and lyrics in  Japanese songs are clear. Clumsy musics and English language are expelling delicate traditional songs in the world. 

 I have no idea with French  Rap music at all.  But in France, Rap Music are very popular among young generation. French Rap?  It must be　uncool.

Why Does UK Want To Exit The EU?

 British prime minister David Cameron has promised a referendum on whether country will stay in the EU, or not.

 Intellectuals who believed in the European Union are usually leftists in America and Japan. But European countries have various anti-EU political groups, and they are not always the Right or conservatives.

 The idea of the EU is very attractive for some Japanese Leftists, and they associate the EU with the progressive, liberal, equal rights as an European values. At the same time, Japanese liberals have often a romantic image and inferiority complex to an European.

 American conservatives often dislike the EU. Because it is a symbol of collectivism and secularism. They have usually very cynical opinions to the EU, and the points in critics are clear.

 The EU system is too complicated for me to grasp and asses. Where  does the EU go? I have no idea.

Gun Control and Japanese as "Surrender History"

Disputes about gun control in America are so harsh, that I cannot follow the opinions without irritation.

 Japanese society has no guns . And most Japanese  live everyday without a fear for gun, although some sorts of guns are permitted under police's control.
 I have no intention to critic Americans  on this issue and have recognized the difference of culture and history between U.S. and Japan

Pro-gun control don't know so much why Japanese has no guns. There had been  no guns without hunting harquebus in Japan for long time. Even Samurai hadn't. But at the end of Sengoku Era , BC 16~17 there were many guns in Japan. It is estimated that there were more guns than western countries. Hideyosi' the ruler who united a hole country, confiscated all guns successfully all over Japan. So there was no history of the militant like Europa and U.S.
  After WW 2, there remained many weapons in Japan, but all of them were confiscated under U.S.occupation.

  Gun control history is equal to be "Surrender History".

 Some people in Japan, go to America to enjoy shooting, and come back to Japan, and say " We can't enjoy shooting in Japan, but it would rather be lucky."

France Goes to "War On Terror "

 France has started air attack against Islam militants in Mali,Africa. Prime Minister Hollande stated "War On Terror".

 My impression on this incident is very ominous. It is a touch of irony for Left Hollande's cabinet to start military action. Depending on BBC News, France expresses surprise at the fighting strengthen of Islamists in Mali.

 As for France, I often listen  to French pops, but now, "Second War On Terror"has began in France . War may be extending over the world.

North Korea's Long Range Missile Will Change U.S.Policy

 　North Korea successfully launched a long range missile today. What a seirous news! Many newsmedia persons underestimated North Korea's technical ability to  launch long range ballistic missiles. If North Korea hadn't the ability of ICBM, we could avoid a military resort against North Korea. So they hoped it's failure, and rather assumed North Korea  was due to fail to launch in their mind.

 Iran and North Korea allies for a nuke weapon development, and apparently the world military situation enter into the new phase. They can threat western countries or Israel and U.S. by their nukes.

 Solution without military options might be impossible. Economical sanctions are over. It has already proved rather hazardous to depend upon economical sanctions and diplomatic negotiations.

Korea, Gilded But Inwardly Rotten

There is no more problematic country than Korea in the view of it's history.  Their modernization and independence wasn't attained by myself, so they depressed the fact under the subconsciousness.  To be the fact, Korean hasn't known the essence of modernization yet. 

   People who knows nothing about fundamentals of everything, is always very snobbish and delirious. and NOW Korean are  infamous for prostitution and racism against black people in the world, although they has been  condemning PAST Korean console women hired by Japanese Army and discrimination in Japan.  

   The prosperity of Korean economy has depended on Japan, but now they are about to abandon the obligation. Takeshima problem is only the beginning. 

  The more scarcity in the mentality Korean feel , the more vanity compensate for it.  The recent forgery of Lee Myung-bak might be the beginning of the end of gilded Korean history.

The Golden Age Of Pop Music

  Music sales have fallen dramatically and music business is in a predicament. What's wrong?  I splurged much money for modern Jazz, but I hardly listen to even it now.  A heyday of pop music had already gone long time ago.   New faces on a music billboard in apple store don't look so attractive and the trial listening disappointed me anytime. After all I look for old hit songs.  History never repeats itself. The Golden Age of Pop Music won't come again.

 Well,  I used to listen to soul music. Now I sometimes listen to 60's France Gall.  She hardly sang  in English, although she sang her repertoires  in German and Japanese.
