kawaii

今まで知らなかったけど、kawaii(可愛い)ってもはや英語でも通用する。
使い方はcool的な感じで使えるらしい。
ぼくらも『可愛い』って、英語でいうcoolみたいな感じに、気軽に使ってるしね。
普通に使えるとは思うけど、特にkawaiiを使えるのは、日本がらみのものらしい。

このkawaiiに関連して調べてたら、こんなもの発見した。






こんなものがあるとは、知らなかった。詳細知りたい人はwebをチェックしてね。
(HYPER JAPANって文字クリックしたらwebに飛ぶよ!)

そのイベントの中でkawaiiコンテストがあったみたいで、イギリスのkawaii大使を決めるものらしい。
基本的にロリータファッション好きのためのものね。ちなみにゴスロリって何の略?ゴシックロリータ?それとも、ゴスい(すごく)ほどロリータなファッション?
ちなみに、一位は日本行きの航空券とホテル宿泊券がゲットできるという。うらやましい。
んで、二位はコンポみたいなやつ。一位と二位の商品の差が激しすぎる。しかもコンポってなんらkawaiiくないでしょ。

いろいろイベントもあるみたいだし、興味あるけどなー。
めちゃくちゃ日本好きの友達がいれば行くのに。だれかいないかな。

No Snow

It hasn't snowed yet in London.
I'm from a town where It snows every winter.
I'm missing the snow.

Tekipa

One of my friends is coming over from Japan now.
And she gave me a video which is called Tekipa.
It was so nice!! I really like it.
I really like every single scene, especially 4th one which is kind of black and white, and using black light and stuff like that.
And another thing I like is some performers are so cute.
Cheers!!

By the way, I found DD chan in the movie. Is that you?

A Shooting Star

I just saw a shooting star. Before I saw it, I hadn't seen one for years.
I didn't expect that I can see one in London.
Something good might happen to me near the future.

So watch it and go to YouTube!

前回のつづき

ってことで、前回のつづきを。
今、そのたばこ作ってる会社と共同でやってるわけだけど、あちら側の意見として、課題の用紙からそのまま抜粋すると、
How can we create an object for public spaces that is so curious, so beautiful, so much fun or so satisfying that we motivate smokers to change behaviours....?
これをふまえた上で、公共スペース用の灰皿というか吸い殻入れをデザインしろって言ってるけど....
もとから、タバコのケースに吸い殻入れ付けておけって思う。そしたら、公共用の灰皿とかいう邪魔なもの作らなくてすむのにって思う。

そいで、仮に公共用の灰皿をデザインしたとしても、ロンドンだけ限定して言うけど、喫煙者はどこでも吸う。来たことある人ならわかると思うけど、建物の中で吸えない分、外でなら彼らはどこでも吸う。そして、目の前に吸い殻入れあるのに道にポイ捨てする。だから、特定の場所に灰皿設置しても無駄。
作るだけ無駄だと思うんだよね。しかも、これ言っちゃなんだけど、吸い殻って土にかえるんだよ。

そもそもこの課題自体難しい気がする。要するに、どうやったら、プロダクト製品が人々の行動とか何かを変化させることができるかってのが主なことなんだと思うけど。
でも、人の行動とか性格みたいなの変えるのってめちゃくちゃ難しいでしょ。
例えば、仲のいい友達、彼氏彼女の性格とか何かを変えるのだってすごく難しいのに、知らない人のを変えるなんて無理に等しい。

これが、とりあえずの意見。
でも、こんなこと言っても、なんにもならないから、ちゃんと考えなければ。

Behaviours of Smokers

Well, I'm doing a project with JTI (Japan Tobacco International) recently.
We have to design a public ashtray which helps smokers to change their bad behaviours like throwing cigarettes on the grounds.
Some guests, who working at the company, came here from Italy and had some lectures.
They told me that Japanese people can not smoke on the streets.
Hang on. That is wrong, isn't it?
We can smoke on the streets. However, we are likely NOT to smoke on the streets because we think it is a bad behaviour.
On the other hand, smokers in London have a so bad manner. They throw cigarettes on the ground.
So what I wanna say is it's not about design.
It's all about one's moral.

Recyclable Umbrella

Today, I'd like to show you an umbrella I made.
Actually, the umbrella is just a model so it doesn't work basically.
And I would have to say it is not comfortable to use because of the structure.
Now I'm not happy with it.
I figured out that ordinary umbrellas are a quite great product.
And I got to really respect people making umbrellas.

Do you know monkeys also do blowjob?
And do you know penises might be longer in the future because having a sex is getting kind of pleasure in our lives compared to the past.
I learnt these things from today's lecture. The lecture was about not sexual stuff but nature & design.

No End

I'd like to talk about design, especially product design today.
Nowadays, a lot of products have been manufactured in our lives. Most of them can make us live more comfortably, happily, easily and so on.
However, some of them could be not comfortable to use, such as..... I don't know..... like..... complicated stuff? Whatever.
So, now I had a question. Do the products must make us comfortable? or do they not have to be comfortable to use when they have another advantage?

In a nutshell, I have no idea about the question. I'm just thinking.

By the way, I'm making a model of an umbrella. I might show you at some point.

English Toast

This is bread which is called English Toast but I've never seen any bread like it in Britain.
There are butter and some sugar between two pieces of bread.
It is very soft and sweat.
I think it is the best bread I've ever eaten.
You can buy one in only Aomori.
You should try one, I'd recommend.

Something Unimportant

People who speak English are likely not to pronounce ケ.
For example, we say カラオケ but they say カラオーキ.
And we say ポケモン. They say ポッキモン.
Moreover we say サケ(酒) but they say サーキ.
That's way I'm called タキー.

A Couch Potato

I'm recently watching Sex & The City on the Net.
It is all about sex and love. And It is very different from movies of it, I think.
I much prefer the drama actually. I'm so crazy about it.
I like all of 4 ladies, especially ミランダ.
She is pretty, smart and funny. I really like her.
Meanwhile, I hate a guy who is the second boyfriend of キャリー.
I forgot his name but anyway I hate him.
He is not a guy for キャリー.
So when they broke up, I was so happy.

I'm still watching season 6 of it.
