About this blog
Experiments in Coda は、ワイアーの“Free Falling Divisions”の歌詞から採りました。それまでShort Attention Spanとして前世紀から細々とやっていましたが、2014年になってから「終わり」を考えるようになり、Codaという言葉が引っかかっていたため、看板を掛け替えました。
でもやることは前と同じです。
訳あってデータベースを削除したので、また一から垂れ流していきます。
The content below is almost totally different from the Japanese above
The title comes from “Free Falling Divisions” by Wire.
I have tried to write things in English, but it has been a quarter-century since I have left the United States. I’ve never had the opportunity to use my English skills after getting my Master’s degree (in Sociology, by the way…) and I have no English speaker around me for quite some time.
The biggest reason why I was able to “survive” in the U. S. as a fifth grader is because I was familiar with the Top 40 Hits as far as I can remember, and they acted as a common knowledge among my classmates and me. Especially Bon Jovi (Bad Medicine era). I was able to learn English quickly as well.
So…I believe any form of music is a great catalyst and brings people together.
