Consideration about boring joke 2003.5.X first appearance

so
gag,tale,comedy,humor,pun……
I wonder what is "A laugh" for human beings.
I thought like that.
So then,I immediately Investigated in the dictionary of Sanseido DaijiRin near hand.

Gag......Dialogue and Action that Inserted irrespective deployment of the story in order to make the audience laugh at movies, plays, etc.

Tale……Short story.Especially, lightly clever short story with satirical and twisted.Skit with wit and rich in satire.

Comedy......When the audience were nervous on a movie,A ridiculous scene is Inserted for relax tension.The scene or a person who plays that role.

Humor......Joke with elegant and witty like to make us smiling instinctively.

Pun......bad puns. boring joke.So-called "dajyare" in Japanese language.

In the variety program on TV,wedding ceremonies or funerary scenes are often chosen as a scene of tale.It is thought like that it is aim to the effect of the above tale and comedy.
In other words,After set up a tense scene that viewers will can share, Performers do ridiculous play for make us laugh in that situation.
I think like that tale and comedy can generate fun for the first time with sharing of implicit rules that social contraindications.For example,We usually don't do such things in such a place scene…etc.
Recently,Such social contraindications or conventional common sense and tacit rules of Japanese society are collapsing.
Therefore,If mass media try to make general public laugh,It become like a lie or become state of "What is fun" in a lot of opportunities.
In some cases,I feel pitiful a person who has been laughed.
The collapse of the 1940 system or The impact of the end of Total Middle Class Society are seen here too.And,The ordinary Japanese statue disappeared.
Therefore,I think that became very difficult to establish tale or comedy that everyone can laugh.
In society that various elements are different(For example, individual way of thinking,hobby of each person,feeling for thing), Everyone can not laugh at the same subject.

But,I think that it is probably a progress.
It may be pleasant for everyone laugh on the same subject.
However,Perhaps,It seems that self-esteem of the subject would was hurt by laugh.

Perhaps,Young people may not know.
In the TV program so-called "ORETACHI-HYOUKINZOKU"
(It was released on DVD revival version at recently)
I feel like that everyone were laughing.
When I was a child,If I not watched "HYOUKINZOKU",
I could not enter a conversation with my friends.
There was also a way of saying ghost program.
(So-called OBAKE-BANGUMI in Japanese )
It is TV program that be broadcast a long period like most the Japanese are watching.
A good old era wrapped in such a sweet sentiment.
I feel like that it will not come back.

It is often said that Humor of European politicians are sophisticated.
However,I feel like that sad thing that has been refined in the history of war in Europe.
Crisis always may happens,If we make a little mistake we become a war each other.
In such tension status,Politician dodge crisis by nifty word.
Probably,Their technique of way of saying was being polished in such situation.

Prime Minister Keizo Obuchi said that I am Optimist's Obuchi,on a international conference.
As a result,It seems he bought a cold lol once.
Unfortunately,Even if It is a warm pun or boring joke(so-called dajyare in Japanese)domestically, Probably, It may was not accepted as a sense of humor in the international community.

I feel like that puns(so-called dajyare)will disappear from Japanese society.
A warm total midstream society that was ridiculed as the only successful socialist nation is over,And personal thought,way of feeling etc. is different,When society that we always should care about communication came,Surely,pun(so-called dajyare)would not communicate.

I also will stop to say puns from now on.

This is real ...(KOREGAHONTONO….The way of saying of dajyare in Jpanese)



My chair · My boom 2003.5.X first appearance

We should not discuss with collectively about the people.
For example,Like "the people of the baby-boomer generation".
However,As a whole,
The people of the baby-boomer generation say like as below.
"Because this coat is a coat of 50,000 yen, It's a nice coat."
"Because this suit is 100,000 yen,it's a nice suit."
"These shoes are good shoes,Because these shoes are 30,000 yen shoes."
Or,show off one goods of brag.
And,"How much price,do you think." They ask so.
l feel like that consumption behavior like described above has became a thing of the past.

Because I am a motorcycle rider,
Provisionally,I think about motorcycle industry a bit.
Then,To remodel by own way.
I feel that the way of selling like mentioned above has increased.
I often see woman who ride Honda's Super Cub that remodeled like cute.
However,Speaking of Honda's Super Cub,
Once,Good fuel economy and sturdy,
It was a motorcycle for delivery of sushi or ramen.
Because Honda will sell it to young womans,
Honda's sensibility is amazing.
Occasionally,I also see womans who ride vespa with mods fashion.
I have heard that there is a shop for vespa remodering around Itsutsubashi.
Surely,Such womans will not ask questions like that "Do you think how much price this motorbike". I think like that.
It seems that they will ask questions like "This sheet is cute, right? " or "I made the lamp small this time,how is it”.

In consumption behavior,It has gradually become like that the price is no longer the standard of value judgment.

It's important thing that "sense or feelings" or "whether it suit me".
Therefore,I don't need those regardless whether a hundred thousand yen coat or 3 million yen a motorcycle unless those suit my needs.
I think that it's getting as mentioned above.
I feel like that it is progress.
When Japan society was in the bubble economy,If the major fashion apparel company induce that this year's fashion color is blue,It seems that the town got dyed blue color.
Because I disliked phenomenon of that kind,
I am thinking that it is a preferable change for me.

So,While talking with a friend the other day,
Became a topic of chairs that are in popular fashion recently.
Topic of "Why chairs". It became a hot fistfight discussion as usual.
Because I am weak to fistfight,
While caring swollen cheek after received the fist of friendship,
I thought as shown below.
It's not such a high price chair ......
It seems to be choosing by design or atmosphere ......
Is that also a flow of "my boom" oriented direction? .

I am sitting on a beautiful wooden grain seat-chair,
And put on a cushion of beige,
I am writing this manuscript.


My chair · My boom



The Day when it seems that all the friends are great rather than me. 2003.5.X first presented

I bought some flowers and took pleasure with my wife.

Hence,
I bought some flowers.
What are significance of flowers…for human being.
It’s said that it seems Neanderthals also had a habit that dedicate flowers to the dead.
I wonder why humans like flowers so much.
Especially,women really like flowers.
It is often said like that "No woman who not become happy for receive flowers".
Although,In recently "it is gender discrimination" It may be condemned by saying so.
Not taste….ooh ah ah… .

There is a broad universe,
There are numerous stars in the cosmos,
One of them is the Earth where humans live,
There were flowers there.
And,Mankind thought that flowers are beautiful.
It seems that there are something of mankind universal there.
I feel like that.

The ground is covered over with asphalt,
The sky is cut into a square due to built a lot of skyscraper,
The night-sky covered with smog has lost the brightness of the stars.
It is the place to arrive by modernization,We aimed for to be society of like that.
Therefore,I think that the result can not be changed.
I also was thinking like that active myself in such modern cities is stylish.
And,I came to live while look down rustic countryside.

Although modern rationalism is certainly efficient,
I feel that various things are lost from society.
The myth of the star has lost due to the development of astronomy.
And,Development of DNA research seems to momentum that will become lost even the story of reincarnation.
Once Soseki Natsume wrote.

"If I am biased towards knowledge,Human relations get bad."
"If I am shed by emotion,I will be swallowed by others."

This is the ultimate word that seems to be torn humanity In Between Modern Rationalism and Lost Great Something.
Flowers seem to remind us the lost Great Something.

Contemporary people who tend to become violent with extreme stress.
However,it seems that human beings' original shape is not like such thing.

The Day when it seems that all the friends are great rather than me.
I bought some flowers and took pleasure with my wife.
