My interests about music,books,and comics are below.But sorry to white people,almost of all are not able to get or difficult to understand. Because they are published in Japan,and written by Japanese.
There are many languages and many cultures in the world. And there are many many people who can understand English like a native. So I am very sorry for some people who can understand only English.
My interests INDEXI don't believe in particular artist.I WAS very fond of Bob Dylan,and even now I like "Shelter from the storm" very much.But Dylan's latest tunes are .... forget it.Recently my favorite musics are "Dounika-Naru" by Machida Kou,and "Trout mask replica" by Captain Beefheart,and movie "Arizona Dream" 's OST.It's funny taste,right?
Also I hear Tomovski. Though this is my Room-Mate's favorites,But not so bad.
Back to INDEXI translate English books to Japanese as a part-time job. Recently I translate book about psycology and cancer treatment. So I red many about such topics. But they are not very interesting books.So I don't introduce such things here.
My suggestions are Tohjima Hiromi's books. She is a chief editer of Indi-Mag "Syashou". And she wrote "Tanoshii-Tsuzurikata-Kyoshitu" (Syuppanken,1994)and "Document the bikou" (Syuppanken,1995). They are fantastic! and very very interesting. But even in Japan,they are difficult to find. Besides,the former is about Japanese composition. Hahahaha.If you don't have ability to understand Japanese,you won't understand that book's fun. Sorry.
And I like Novels of Salman Rashdii,Philip.K.Dick,and Patricia Highsmith. But each of them died or hid,so we cannot expect new novels. Ha! My favorites are "Shame"(by S.Rashdii) and "Galactic Pot-healer"(by P.K.D),and "Under a Dark angel's Eye"(by P.Highsmith).
I like Nekojiru and YAMANO HAJIME. "Nekojiru" means boiled-cat stew,and Nekojiru is YAMANO's wife. Their comics are metaphysical,and surrealistic arts. I like YAMANO'S "rayaneel" which is contained "Pangea"(Seirindo 1990),and Nekojiru's "Ii-sakana(good fish)" in "NekojiruUdon3(BungeiShunjyu 1999)".
For the present I write about movies here.My favorite movies are "Arizona Dream", "Underground", "Liquid Sky", "Slum Dance", Hodrovsky's all works, "Blade runner", "Shinning", "Brazil", and "Plan 9 ". In my poor vocabulary,it is hard to describe why I like those. So I leave out them.
And I participate in Mac Users Group.It is called "Makku-no rakuen" which means Mac's paradise.
