  • Do you volunteer?

    Jump

  • Yes. I contribute to Wikipedia and MusicBrainz.

    I wanted to contribute to the online information sources that I always rely on, so I started activities on these two sites.

    Offline, I work on organizing 78rpm-record collections left by local collectors.

    I like music from before the LP era, and I learned about this activity through local media and decided to participate in the organizing work.

    Can you collect all the colors with anime characters' hair?

  • What band did you hear one song of, check the rest of their music, and find it was a one-off and none of their other music sounds like that?

  • Tamaki Miura, Ryukichi Sawada - O-edo Nihon-bashi (before 1925)

    A recording by Japan's first international opera singer and a professional pianist.

    The original piece is a folk song, but the arrangement by pianist Ryukichi Sawada is ingenious, allowing listeners to hear rhythmic expressions comparable to modern rock and roll.

    Due to Sawada's early death, the number of his known works is limited, and there are virtually no other works of this kind of vocal music.

    Recently, Sawada's music has been reissued under the revival label Sakuraphone.

  • What is an old movie that couldn't be made today?

    Jump

  • Silent films using tens of thousands of performers and large-scale stage sets will probably never be made again.

    This is because modern audiences take sound in films for granted, making it impossible to expect box office returns that match such an investment.

  • I dislike DuckDuckGo, but I think it's at least better than Bing.

    In addition to Bing, there are other search engines that currently rely on Bing’s search results, including but not limited to DuckDuckGo.

    Neocities Is Blocked by Bing

    And Google is worse than Bing.

    It has been disclosed that the company's search index for Japanese websites is subject to opaque censorship by organizations collaborating with the police authorities.

    {検索サービス|Search Service}(2社）

    Google Inc. LINEヤフー株式会社

    流通防止措置実施事業者一覧 | 児童ポルノブロッキング | 一般社団法人インターネットコンテンツセーフティ協会 - ICSA

    Google is the only foreign company participating in this censorship; Microsoft and other foreign companies are not involved.

    I think this fact alone is enough for Google's search service to be subject to a boycott.

  • Do you post reviews for products or places? Why or why not?

    Jump

  • I generally only review Place as a place where I purchased artwork, often as an add-on to a review of the artwork itself.

    Specifically, this includes reviews of bookstores for novels and record stores for music.

    An exception would be my reviews of public libraries, where I focused primarily on the place itself.

    The collections of a town's public library often succinctly reflect the town's cultural policies and characteristics, making comparisons interesting.

  • What's a TV series that you really, really liked and would enthusiastically recommend?

    Jump

  • Drama: Oshin (JP, 1983-1984)Animation: Shaun the Sheep (UK, 2007-present)Kids: ETV 0655&2355 (JP, 2010-present)Special program: TV's TV (JP, 1987)

    Of these, the one I particularly recommend is "TV's TV."This is a program in which 100 TV channels each contain small video content, which is randomly introduced within a single TV program, an idea that was around 20 years ahead of YouTube.

    There's also an anecdote that Satoshi Tajiri, who would later create Pokémon, was involved in the production of this program.

  • Johnny Kitagawa's child sexual abuse was confirmed in a trial over gossip magazine reports.

    Johnny & Associates, which continued to have him involved with minors for over 15 years, engaged in organized child sexual exploitation and should be defined as a mafia.

    Therefore, all organizations that did business with the company, including ISPs, universities, UMG, and Nintendo, should be defined as affiliated with the mafia.
