Knowing another language opens the world…

The song title is “Respect for a Life Time.” The principle lyric is “Issho Issho ni itte kureya” which is a Kansai dialect way of saying “please go(be) with me forever.” (Translated text expresses the nuance in the video)

This was by far my favorite pop song when I was in Japan. It was popular at the time when I reached a zenith in understanding of Japan, Japanese people and history, and at a time when I was finally finding my place in the world. I don’t know what made me think of this song today… but… I just wanted to post it. Most of our visitors can’t understand it, but, for those who can, this goes out to you!

Shinobu A.: Issho issho ni oyogukureya. ;)
Hiroe F. and Rika F.: I hope you are well.
Naka-sama: Genki?
Hiro and Hugh. Issho issho ni nominiiku ya!
Taka-kun: Kodomo-chan ganbatte!

Yup, this is more or less Thrasher and I do when I go to Louisville.

Would the real Wolverine please stand up

Those of you who know the comics, the movies, the music, and The Mosh Pit will know the answer:

Comic Book hero as the standard by which to judge: Altered, rapid healing, unique facial hair, pissy attitude, if possible would bone Anna Paquin.

Badass in Yellow Spandex

Huge Jack Man: Definitely looks the part, plays it well, if possible would bone Anna Paquin, unique facial hair, (on-screen) pissy attitude, but come on… Aussies talk big, but Kiwis can still kick their butts…:

Would Wolverine allow a chick to ream out is stink-star?

Glenn (Polish city) Danzig: Definitely looks the part, punches people who get close to the stage, looks most like the comic book Wolverine, unique facial hair, pissy attitude, if possible would bone Anna Paquin, probably would cry like a girl if hit with anything more firm than a rubbery dildo, plus his music entered the toilet in the last few years:

Its like Lobo meets Wolverine

Mosh Pit Matt, comes back from near death in less a week each of 5 times in 10 years, and grows a beard faster than any known human, unique facial hair, pissy attitude, if possible would bone Anna Paquin, but has already had better, has only lost a 6-1 fight, enjoys eating raw chicken dipped in raw egg and garlic and is considered by NOAA to be an unstoppable source of greenhouse gas emissions due to pizza and curry intake:

Shake it off you pansy...

Who is the real Wolverine?

The End…

At one time in life, change comes and one day that change will be the passing away of someone or something…

You only live twice
Once when you are born
And once when
you look death in the face

(Ian Flemming from Basho).

Shakespeare wrote the best farewell that can be given among friends:

CASSIUS:
Forever and forever farewell, Brutus.
If we do meet again, we’ll smile indeed.
If not, ’tis true this parting was well made.

BRUTUS:
Why then, lead on. Oh, that a man might know
The end of this day’s business ere it come!
But it sufficeth that the day will end,
And then the end is known.—Come, ho! Away!

Thus ends one stage of life, and begins another… come, ho! away!
