pop culture 2

so as Rimi suggested, I decided to write another blog about what Dokusha models are.

Dokusha models are models whose fashion is popular and most of them have another work such as a university student, or wife, or something that looks ordinary work to us.

Why are they so popular?

I think because they are ordinary. not so beoing treated as importantly as a Model as we imagine.
(well... We do not even know if they are treated importantly or not tho)

In addition, basically Dokusha models were used to be the readers of the magazine.

In order to show how they are close to ordinary people. there is a cafe where Dokusha models work.

If you go there, you can meet them. MILK cafe

Pop culture in Japan

Not only in Japan but in world wide, New Pop Culture is continuously born in the world by young people.

There are many ways to know what pop culture is but on this blog, I will concentrate on fashion in Japan.

I would say that Japanese young fashion has some kind of different favor compared to foreign young people because

Japanese fashion has various ways to express their characteristics.

such as as you can look at this fashion store fake tokyo, they have some kind of punkish style.

on the other hand, haight and ashbury has old european sense of fashion.

so Why do they wear like these??

I think because they want to express what they want to look like, and what kind of music or sense they like by showing thier characteristics through fashion.

For example, In japan, models who used to be ordinary girls became models is a new way to become popular models.

AMO is a popular model in Zipper and Kera.
Although she was an ordinary girl, she became a popular model. and mainly popular among harajuku girls.

The way she expresses her characteristics is the great example of how common harajuku girls do.

because she likes fantasy, gothic, pastel colors, and classical things so as you can see from her blog, her fashion is exactly showing what she likes.

So I would say that japanese fashion is a useful tool to show what they like and what kind of person he/she is.

the limit of memorization in our brains

so memex seems like a place that can store anything.
as we may think

I went to music kindergarten, elementary school, juniour high, and high school. (and somehow I go to a school where english is everywhere instead of music)

I was majoring in violin and minoring in piano. so that I had to memorize a long score each time for each semester for music exams.

Although I was young, I had a difficulty of memorizing long score both for violin and piano. (well, more difficult for piano)

I always had wished how much it would be easier if I had a better brain which store music score quickly.

and I remembered that my mother said that "If you go to a music university, you will have to be able to make a score only at once when you listen to music".

I was wondering, if there is a connetion between brain and ears which can hear all notes of music and make a score.

I found this article (sorry, in japanese) tsujii nobuyuki the pianist who is blinded about tsujii nobuyuki. Althoug he is blinded, he is a great pianist as his piano record is chosen as a theme music for a movie.

As he listenes to a music or any sound that is made can make it into a score and he can actually play it.

according to the article, first he listenes to a music and make a score in his brain, and he plays it on piano.

As I read this article, I remembered that Mozart and Einstein are the same.

Mozart is famous as he played a music Miserere ( music of Miserere ) at only once he listened.
Of course, he is the exception who has a developed brain.

Einstein is said that he could not speak until 3 years old but could play a violin which he had fun.
He had been called "der Deperrte" which means stupid when he was young.
However, it is said that he was structuring a sentence in his brain before he talks.

I made a connection between this idea that Einstein structures a sentence in his brain before he talks and the idea that Mozart and Tsujii nobuyuki can make a score in his brain.

It is interesting how music and brain has a connection although I have no ability of making a score in my brain. but when I was 16 years old, I found that it becomes much easier to memozize when I play piano or violin before memorizing something.

Probably, my little brain is trying to wake up with my both hands are working.
