Watching everyday go by......

With limited resources,

do some simple and interesting things.

This will create 

a sense of presence and vitality in life.

Not just watching every day go by.

The Bee Gees - Reaching out

I'm watching every day go by

Living in a foolish game

Just the way I feel today

Living my life without you

Never hear a single word

Living in a lullaby

Praying every tear I cry

Living my life without you

And everywhere you go I fly

(I love you with a special feeling)

And darling 'til the day I die

(Baby, never stop believing)

I'll be reaching out, oh

I'll be reaching out

Ah-ah-ah, reaching out

There's a woman goin' through me (I'll be reaching out)

Got a chance to hold you to me (ah-ah-ah)

Everything is lonely and I need you

Living my life forever, forever

Watching every day go by

Living on the one I love

What I got is not enough

Living my life without you

And I believe in yesterday

(Yesterday was once tomorrow)

With love, with love wide open every way

(Baby, you're the light I follow)

I'll be, I'll be (I'll be reaching out) ooh

I'll be reaching out

Ah-ah-ah, reaching out

There's a woman going through me (I'll be reaching out)

Not a chance to hold you to me

Everything is lonely and I need you

Living my life forever

I'll be reaching out, whoa

I'll be reaching out, ah

Ah-ah-ah, reaching out

I'll be reaching out, ah-ah-ah

Living my life forever

Reaching out, I'll be reaching out, ah-ah-ah

Reaching out, I'll be reaching out, ah-ah-ah

Reaching out, I'll be reaching out, ah-ah-ah

When you are crying, I have no tears.

A relationship has broken; 

 it is unfinished. 

 Don't attempt to finish it. 

 Don’t ever look back again. 

 Break free from it. 

 When one is crying, 

 the other may have no tears.

一段關係已破裂，

即是尚未完結。

但不要試圖將它完結。

永遠不要回頭看。

要從中爭脫出來。

當一方在哭泣時，

另一方可能沒哭無淚。

Unfinished

Song by Leone Ieiri · 2022

Lyrics

"Call me a liar"

Push me away, no matter what

So I won’t dream anymore, ah

If these excessive emotions

Keep running wild,

Might as well erase them

From the world altogether.

I am so unfinished,

I don’t know what to do.

If I can’t save you,

Then don’t bring me to life.

Stop loving me and run away from me.

You can reject it all, everything, everything.

If it stays like this, I’ll end up breaking you.

Is it okay? Is it okay? Is it okay?

Don’t ever look back again.

Make sure you find happiness.

I’m sorry for loving you like this.

You’re free now.

"Show me the truth,"

You say, while hiding it.

The two of us, deceiving each other, ah.

Unnecessarily, you hurt me,

But only my love

Can fill the emptiness in you.

You are so unfinished,

I don’t know what to do.

We are so much alike, aren’t we?

Hold your breath and run away from me.

I want you to forget everything, everything.

No matter where you live,

I love you, I love you, I love you.

Even though you’re crying,

Why can’t I cry too?

I’m sorry for loving you irresponsibly, uh.

Everything

Keeps surging in and pulling back,

Unsettled.

Please give me back

My ordinary days.

I want it to end; it just won’t end.

It’s okay, you decide, uh.

Stop loving me and run away from me.

I want you to break it all, everything, everything.

Throw away the past and laugh it off.

It’s okay, it’s okay, it’s okay.

Don’t ever look back again.

Make sure you find happiness.

I’m sorry for loving you like this, uh.

Hold your breath and run away from me.

I want you to forget everything, everything.

No matter where you live,

I love you, I love you, I love you.

The world that only we could see

Seemed far too fragile.

You smile and say, "I’m glad I met you," uh.

You’re free now.

You’re free now.

家入里昂的歌曲 ‧ 2022 年

歌詞

「叫我騙子吧」

無論如何都推開我

只為了不再做夢 啊

若這過激的情感

肆意橫衝直撞

乾脆將它從這世界

一併抹去就好了。

我竟是如此未完成

該怎麼辦才好

我根本不知道。

若無法拯救，那就不要降生。

停止愛我，逃離我吧。

你可以否定一切，全都可以，全都可以。

若繼續這樣下去，我會毀掉你。

可以嗎？可以嗎？可以嗎？

不要再回頭了。

一定要找到屬於你的幸福。

這樣的我，愛上你真的很抱歉。

你已經自由了。

「給我看真相吧」

你這麼說著，卻同時隱藏它。

兩個人互相欺騙著，啊。

你不必要地傷害我，

但只有我的愛

能填補你內心的寂寞。

你竟是如此未完成

該怎麼辦才好

我根本不知道。

我們真是相似的兩個人啊。

屏住呼吸，逃離我吧。

我希望你能忘掉一切，全都可以，全都可以。

無論你在何處生活，

我都愛你，愛你，愛你。

明明你正在哭泣，

但為什麼我卻無法流淚呢？

不負責任地愛著你，對不起，Uh。

一切

都湧上心頭又退回去，

無法安定。

請把正常的日子還給我吧。

我想結束，但無法結束。

可以的，由你來決定，Uh。

停止愛我，逃離我吧。

我希望你能全部摧毀，一切一切。

把過去也丟掉，笑著一筆帶過。

可以的，可以的，可以的。

不要再回頭了。

一定要找到屬於你的幸福。

這樣的我，愛上你真的很抱歉，Uh。

屏住呼吸，逃離我吧。

我希望你能忘掉一切，全都可以，全都可以。

無論你在何處生活，

我都愛你，愛你，愛你。

只有我們看見的世界

似乎太過脆弱了。

你帶著笑容說「認識你真好」，Uh。

你已經自由了。

你已經自由了。

Compulsive Hoarding vs Hoarding Phobia (囤積症 vs 囤積恐懼症)

Some people have the urge to 

hoard items of interest, 

such as books, toys, dolls, pets, and more. 

Among these individuals, 

some have a very strong urge to 

collect large quantities of these items—

far beyond what most people would own. 

This can lead to excessive accumulation, 

often surpassing their ability to 

maintain the items or their daily needs.

But what if you have the means to keep them? 

For instance, if you have enough space at home, 

would you buy and keep 1,000 pairs of shoes? 

These individuals often fulfill 

a psychological need through compulsive hoarding, 

accumulating items of interest 

while showing a persistent reluctance 

to discard or part with their possessions.

I don't know if compulsive hoarding qualifies 

as a psychological disorder, 

but I am certain that having a fear of 

hoarding—hoarding phobia—is one. 

I feel dreadful even thinking about 

excessive quantities of an item. 

The sight of such excess is even worse. 

For example, 

I find one Hello Kitty doll or one real cat cute, 

but seeing hundreds of Hello Kitty dolls or 

many cats grouped together at home would 

seem awkward and even make me feel sick!

However, I have one exception: 

hoarding HK$ notes never causes me distress!

Al Stewart - The Year of the Cat

On a morning from a Bogart movie

In a country where they turn back time

You go strolling through the crowd like Peter Lorre

Contemplating a crime

She comes out of the sun in a silk dress

Running like a watercolor in the rain

Don't bother asking for explanations

She'll just tell you that she came

In the year of the cat

She doesn't give you time for questions

As she locks up your arm in hers

And you follow 'til your sense of which direction

Completely disappears

By the blue tiled walls near the market stalls

There's a hidden door she leads you to

"These days, " she says, "I feel my life

Just like a river running through

The year of the cat"

While she looks at you so coolly

And her eyes shine like the moon in the sea

She comes in incense and patchouli

So you take her to find what's waiting inside

The year of the cat

Well morning comes and you're still with her

And the bus and the tourists are gone

And you've thrown away your choice and 

lost your ticket

So you have to stay on

But the drumbeat strains of the night remain

In the rhythm of the newborn day

You know sometime you're bound to leave her

But for now, you're gonna stay

In the year of the cat

Mm, year of the cat

Bees Gees - Song Birds

A bird should fly though its wings are broken.

 

See, the sky is so wide open.

————————

Bees Gees - Song Birds

Go on with your song, bird

You can't go wrong bird

You will go on and on, bird

Like you did before

Though your wings are broken

The sky is so wide open

And the wind is waiting for you

Like an open door

Though you go so far away

Your voice will still be heard so well

You'll never really ever know

How beautiful you are

When the moon is on the rise

I'll try to make my songbird fly

I wonder if he ever will

And if he really did, how far

Go on with your song, bird

You can't go wrong bird

You will go on and on, bird

Through the open door

Go on with your song, bird

You can't go wrong my bird

You will go on and on, bird

Like you did before

Like you did before

Look up to see the moon

I am not quite aware of 

how frequently I look up to 

catch sight of the moon.

Not very often!

When I consciously look up to see the moon, 

it is usually during the Mid-Autumn Festival. 

The full moon is always visible around this time.

I haven't consciously thought about 

seeing a non-full moon for years.

In fact, subconsciously, 

I don't look up to the sky during 

any non-full-moon days. 

The sight of a non-full moon 

tells me too many stories.

我並不太清楚

自己有多常仰看月亮。

實在並不常看！

到我有意識地仰看月亮時，

通常是在中秋節期間。

這時看到的都是滿月。

我已經多年沒有刻意

仰看一個非滿月的月亮了。

事實上，下意識裡，

我在非滿月的日子裡

並不會抬頭仰看天空。

因為非滿月的景象

總會告訴我過多故事。

柴咲コウ×徳永英明 月のしずく

月のしずく（明月的光滴）

作詞：Satomi

作曲：松本良喜

歌語是　明月光滴的情歌

濃烈的香氣

彷彿低聲訴說著愛的呢喃

硝煙的聲響

像陣雨中蟬鳴的風聲

在時光的盡頭

愛的溫度逐漸冷卻

那些短暫的回憶

卻越來越清晰地浮現

「好想你啊……」的思念

悄然化作一個心願

今夜，明月的光滴

再次濡濕了心中的悲傷

下弦月緩緩升起

像一面清澈如鏡的水面

世間的萬葉花朵

已悄然褪色

人們的心

也漸漸被悲傷染上陰影

「思念你……」的歌聲

悄悄傳向遙遠的天際

今夜，明月的光滴

再次濡濕了心中的悲傷

「好想你啊……」的思念

悄然化作一個心願

今夜，明月的光滴

再次濡濕了心中的悲傷

下弦月低聲吟唱

那不朽的愛……

Lingering around the Dreamland.

I have bad dreams very often. Still, 

I have good dreams occasionally. 

Whenever I wake up from a good dream, 

I like to stay in bed for a longer time 

to enjoy the lingering traces of the good mood 

from the dream, 

even willing to sacrifice breakfast time, 

because I treasure the rare good dreams 

I have in life.

Robert Gromotka - Dreamland

God is nearby.

Worshipping one's God creates 

fullness and strength for 

the righteous worshipper. 

Whenever you feel empty and weak, 

God is nearby, and He will help you.

Barclay James Harvest - Ra

(Ra was the Ancient Egyptian sun god)

Burning fiery furnace in the sky

Burns the ground around us where we lie

Sad old black-faced thunder will you rise

Bring your cloud and shadows to our eyes

Blazing star in heaven, mirror bright

Dry our seas and rivers with your light

Universal sentinel you are

Guide of all who look on from afar

God of old now broken and defaced

Punish all who've fallen from your grace

You whose power leaves the deepest scar

Mystic eye of heaven, Amun Ra

Arbitrary Arbitration

Arbitration is a means of 

resolving disputes between different parties. 

Its effectiveness stems from its flexibility, 

which allows it to bypass 

the rigid application of law

and avoid the tedious proceedings of court.

For matters that do not involve 

significant financial interest, 

arbitration can provide 

a simplified resolution process. 

It allows one party to feel as though 

they have won while simultaneously 

providing the other party with 

the same sense of satisfaction. 

In this way, 

both parties can feel that 

they have achieved a favorable outcome.

However, fewer people now adopt 

arbitration to resolve their disputes. 

This is because many individuals or organizations 

are more focused on achieving total victory. 

Yet, the pursuit of winning it all comes with 

the inherent risk of losing it all. 

AI - 「アルデバラン」 (official video)

Chinese Translation

調解作為解決紛爭的手段，

其最強大的作用在於不必像跟法律每事驗證，

甚至對簿公堂！
尤其是不涉實際金錢利益的事，
有些可以輕輕帶過！
有些可以誇張放大！
讓祇為爭一口氣的一方，得到上風；　
也讓祇為爭一口氣的另一方，也得到上風，
成全其美吧！

然而，現在採用仲裁來解決爭議的人越來越少。

這是因為許多個人或組織更加關注實現全面勝利。

然而，追求全勝的同時，

也伴隨著完全失敗的風險。

Energy flow / Ryuichi Sakamoto

Something sad is not always depressing.

It may lift you up and bring you hope.

energy flow/Ryuichi Sakamoto 

 

Something replaces something

Something will end for 

some uncontrollable reasons.

Forget it.

Start something new!

清水翔太『プロローグ feat.Aimer』MV

Song: 清水翔太 (Shota Shimizu)

Lyrics: Shota Shimizu

Composition: Shota Shimizu

The love that ended at the prologue

Has made me a coward.

I can’t even look straight into your eyes,

Standing frozen in place.

To love someone,

Even now, it still scares me.

But I found you.

I found you.

My heart,

Every time it gets closer to you,

Seems to want to say something,

Beating harder and harder.

Now, aiming for a distant, distant future,

I've surely taken the first step.

Now, quietly, love is beginning,

And I will think of you for a long, long time.

The love that ended at the prologue,

I often imagined

A continuation that never existed,

Out of frustration.

Like a movie, bittersweet and tender,

A sweet love story.

Of course, there are challenges,

But it ends happily.

Such a convenient

Story I painted,

And I couldn’t get out of it.

My heart became a maze.

But now, aiming for a distant, distant future,

I’ve finally taken the first step.

Now, surely, I embrace this love,

And I’ll go out to meet love once more.

My heart,

Every time it gets closer to you,

Seems to want to say something,

Beating harder and harder.

Even if my love were to end again

At the prologue, I wouldn’t mind.

I won’t regret falling in love with you.

I will think of you for a long, long time.

序幕中結束的愛情 

因為這讓我成為一個膽小鬼 

我甚至無法直視你的眼睛 

站著不動 

愛一個人意味著什麼 

即使現在我仍然害怕 

我找到你 我找到了 

我的心 每次我靠近你 

看起來他好像告訴我什麼 加強心跳 

現在，朝著遙遠的未來 

我確實踏出了第一步 

如今，愛情已經悄悄開始 

我會想你很久 

一場以序幕結束的愛情 

從未存在過的延續 

我想像得很好。 

我很沮喪 像電影一樣悲傷 

一段溫柔又甜蜜的愛情故事 

當然也有困難，

但是 這是一個幸福的結局 

真是太方便了 

畫一個故事 我無法出去。 

心是迷宮 但目標是很遠很遠的未來 

我終於踏出了第一步 

現在我確信我正在擁抱愛情 

我會再去尋找愛情 

我的心 每次我靠近你 

看起來他好像告訴我什麼 

加強心跳 如果我的愛也是序幕 

我不在乎是否結束 

我不會後悔愛上你 

我會想你很久很久

Opportunity knocks

An opportunity comes!

It is generally advised that

an opportunity comes only once,

therefore, we should seize it.

However, taking an opportunity may not 

lead to success

if we are not ready for it.

Besides, an opportunity may come again.

 John Deigen - Opportunitiy knocks

Fate remains unchanged but adjustable

Fate may be unchangeable, 

but its details should be adjustable—

though we often remain unaware, 

mistaking them as how things were meant to be.

命運或許無法改變，

但其中的細節應該可以稍改，

只是我們往往不自知，

將其誤認為是原本就該如此。

松隆子 - 愛櫻花雨紛飛

The worth of a heart of gold vs that of a heart of flesh

How much is a heart of gold worth? 

He just says it is worth something.

How much is a heart of flesh worth? 

He just says it is worth anything.

Angus & Julia Stone - Yellow Brick Road

Just a spoon full of sugar makes

the medicine go down

Sweet Mary Jane, won't you lay me down?

Lost my heart in California, lost my mind

Shot me down with a revolver, got me high

Then a heart of gold came on the stereo, 

Mr. Young made me cry

Then all the colors of the rainbow fell in my eyes

I lost my mind long ago

Down that yellow brick road

I lost my mind long ago

Down that yellow brick road

Took a train to the river where 

I dove right in

That skinny dipping girl made 

the blue bird sing

Fell in love in California, 

she blew my mind

She shot me down with her revolver, 

she got me high

Then the weather man came on the radio, 

said there'll be sunshine

Then all the colors of the rainbow 

fell in my mind

I lost my mind long ago

Down that yellow brick road

I lost my mind long ago

Down that yellow brick road

How many winter one can have!

not quite many.

 秋天該很好 你若尚在場

秋風即使帶涼 亦漂亮

深秋中的你填密我夢想

就像落葉飛 輕敲我窗

冬天該很好 你若尚在場

天空多灰 我們亦放亮

一起坐坐談談來日動向

漠視外間低溫 這樣唱

能同途偶遇在這星球上

燃亮飄渺人生 我多麼夠運

無人如你逗留我思潮上

從沒再疑問 這個世界好得很

暑天該很好 你若尚在場

火一般的太陽在臉上

燒得肌膚如情 痕極又癢

滴著汗的一雙笑著唱

能同途偶遇在這星球上

燃亮飄渺人生 我多麼夠運

無人如你逗留我思潮上

從沒再疑問 這個世界好得很

能同途偶遇在這星球上

是某種緣份 我多麼慶幸

如離別 你亦長處心靈上

寧願有遺憾 亦願和你遠亦近

春天該很好 你若尚在場

春風彷彿愛情在蘊醞

初春中的你 撩動我幻想

就像嫩綠草使春雨香
