I admit that I am not real!

In my early days, 

I had several favorite pop singers and bands. 

I listened to their music and 

got a lot from them: 

entertainment, inspiration, relaxation, 

encouragement, and so on. 

All of them were real people or 

real members of groups.

Nowadays, I still have several favorite 

pop singers and bands, 

and I continue to add 

new singers and bands to my list. 

Many of the new ones are not 

real people or live groups. 

I accept them as favorites as long as 

they make it clear to the public that 

they are not real people or real groups.

Love faded，Lover Gone

When love disappears,

it's better to forget that love affair.

Find out where your lover went, 

especially if you don't fully understand 

why the love faded.

So, don't go there.

Ghostly Kisses - Where Do Lovers Go? 

Meet me where all wrongs turn to right

Meet me where the light greets dark

Where the lovers go when they are tired

Keep me where you hide your second sight

Deep inside where secrets start

Where the lovers go when they are tired

Let's watch the last rays fading out

Entwine our bodies on common ground

Will you hold on, my love

Even in a time of trouble?

I want to hold on, my love

Even in times of trouble

Will you hold on, my love

Even in a time of trouble?

I want to hold on, my love

Even in times of trouble

Meet me where you can break the silence

Meet me where the light greets dark

Where the lovers go when they are tired

Meet me in the gentle after light

Where your world falls apart

Where do lovers go when they are tired?

Let's watch the last rays fading out

Entwine our bodies on common ground

Will you hold on, my love

Even in a time of trouble?

I want to hold on, my love

Even in times of trouble

Will you hold on, my love

Even in a time of trouble?

I want to hold on, my love

Even in times of trouble

Longer Living

People are living longer and longer. 

It forces us to witness 

the long, slow process of our loved ones aging, 

serving as a true test of human affection.

人，越來越長壽。

要讓人看著身邊人衰老的漫長過程，

並考驗人間情愛。

JUJU 

Hello, Again～昔からある場所～  

（你好，再一次 - 久仍存在的地方）

The season I always waited through with you

Passed by without a single word

Rain pours down on this town,

Wrapping up a little regret and guilt

Time went on while I kept my vow not to cry;

Not noticing my aching heart, 

I was left alone

“In memory, the two of us can live on,”

Your voice still echoes now in my chest—

It’s the shadow where love wanders.

Did you cry a little? 

I couldn’t see it then.

I’m not living just to find how far my limits go,

But if I open a new door and sail out to sea,

Beyond the waves I can truly feel an “end.”

I reach out my hands, 

move into the sky, take the wind—

I’ll go on living; 

somewhere it will come around again.

A place that’s been there since long ago,

Even through the night the seasons change.

Eventually the rain had stopped.

“In memory, the two of us can live on,”

Your voice still echoes now in my chest—

It’s the shadow where love wanders.

Did you cry a little? I couldn’t see it then.

Hello, again—my feeling heart.

Hello, again—my old, dear place.

一直與你等待的季節 

我什麼都沒說就過去了 

雨落在這座城市 

包裹一點遺憾和罪惡 

時光流逝 誓不哭泣 

我獨自一人而沒有注意到我的心痛

“在我的記憶中，他們可以長生不老。” 

你的聲音還在我心裡迴盪

是愛的影子徘徊 

你有沒有哭一點？

我當時看不到 

知道你的極限有多遠 

我沒有活著 

但是如果你打開一扇新的門去海邊 

你可以在波浪的另一邊感受“盡頭” 

我伸出這個 飛向天空 

接受風 讓我們生活吧，

我會在某個地方結束，

一個久仍存在的地方

即使在夜間，季節也在變化 

雨很快就來了 

“在我的記憶中，他們可以長生不老。” 

你的聲音還在我心裡迴盪

是愛的影子徘徊 

你有沒有哭一點？

我當時看不到

Mystery of Black Box

Recently, selling black boxes has become 

a popular promotional gimmick 

to attract consumers to buy products 

presented as a mystery.

How much would you pay for 

a "Black Box" containing products 

unknown to you? 

Here are some examples:

HK$100 for a "Game Token

HK$800 for a "Concert Ticket"

HK$4,000 for a "Laptop Computer"

HK$20,000 for a "Handbag"

HK$50,000 for a "Watch"

The products in the black box 

are not disclosed to customers 

to arouse curiosity. 

However, the products may not always 

meet customers' expectations or preferences. 

The risk of missing out 

on a desirable product increases 

with the price of the black box.

As a risk-averse person, 

I would consider trying the fun 

of buying a black box, 

but only at a maximum price of HK$100!

Mree - Mystery of Love

Oh, to see without my eyes

The first time that you kissed me

Boundless by the time I cried

I built your walls around me

White noise, what an awful sound

Fumbling by Rogue River

Feel my feet above the ground

Hand of God, deliver me

Oh, oh woe-oh-woah is me

The first time that you touched me

Oh, will wonders ever cease?

Blessed be the mystery of love

Lord, I no longer believe

Drowned in living waters

Cursed by the love that I received

From my brother's daughter

Like Hephaestion, who died

Alexander's lover

Now my riverbed has dried

Shall I find no other?

Oh, oh woe-oh-woah is me

I'm running like a plover

Now I'm prone to misery

The birthmark on your shoulder reminds me

How much sorrow can I take?

Blackbird on my shoulder

And what difference does it make

When this love is over?

Shall I sleep within your bed?

River of unhappiness

Hold your hands upon my head

'Til I breathe my last breath

Oh, oh woe-oh-woah is me

The last time that you touched me

Oh, will wonders ever cease?

Blessed be the mystery of love

Coming Home

Around Qingming Festival, 

 I naturally think of our deceased loved ones. 

 During this time, 

 we often see a moth resting on a wall or 

in a corner of the house for a while, 

 as if it’s waiting for something. 

 I often wonder if it might be a sign that 

they have come home. 

 Who is missing whom? 

清明前後，

自然會思念起已故的親人。 

在這段時間， 

常看到一隻飛蛾

在家中某塊牆壁或角落停留一段時間， 

似乎在期待著什麼。 

我總會想，她可能回家了。 

誰在思念著誰呢？

思念 (Tanya全新創作首度公開演唱版)

蔡健雅 -思念 

堆積所有對你的思念

把思念推進個黑暗的房間

房間就在廚房的後面

沒人會發現

菸不離手把自己灌醉

醉醒過後笑自己有多狼狽

泡的咖啡有苦的滋味

我睜開了眼

忘記你是誰

讓風箏自由乾脆剪斷了線

讓它往藍天空隨風而飛

越飛越高直到看不見

像電影裡的畫面

這樣也許能讓我好過一些

把你當做風箏隨風而飛

越飛越高直到無所謂

我剪斷了線

不再對你懷念

要風箏自由乾脆剪斷了線

讓它往藍天空隨風而飛

越飛越高直到看不見

像電影裡的畫面

這樣也許能讓我好過一些

把你當做風箏隨風而飛

飛到哪裡我無所謂

我剪斷了線

不再對你懷念

愛

總是讓人心碎

讓我無法入睡

我又忍不住走進了房間

我閉上了眼

又被思念包圍

又被思念包圍

Watermark memories

Some memories are like a watermark

that's never there but never really gone.

These memories are usually

buried deep in your heart.

They only surface 

in the mind without warning,

and are never easily recalled 

for no reason.

有些記憶如同水印,

它若有若無，

卻從未真正消逝。

這些記憶通常深埋心底。

它們只會無端浮現腦海，

總不會輕易讓你記起。

Art Garfunkel - Watermark

How delicate the tracery of her fine lines

Like the moonlight lacetops of the evening pines

Like a song half heard through a closed door

Like an old book when 

you cannot read the writing anymore

How innocent her visage as 

my child lover lies

Pressed against the rainswept windy windows 

of my eyes

Like an antique etching glass design

That somehow turned out wrong

I keep looking through old varnish

At my late lover's body

Caught on ancient canvas

And decaying...disappearing

Even as I sing this song

How secretly and silently 

my sorrow disappears

You can't see it with your eyes or 

hear it with your ears

It's like a Watermark that's 

never there and never really gone

I keep looking through old varnish

At my late lover's body

Caught on ancient canvas

And decaying...disappearing

Even as I sing this song

Even as I sing this song

Even as I sing this song

Hiding in one's Secret Garden

When depressed,

it is good to hide in one's secret garden

to recover and refuel.

F.I.R.飛兒樂團 -《讓我們一起微笑吧》

走在柏油街道的路上

我想穿上彩色的羽翼飛翔

不想聽到任何人的電話

找個不用謊言的地方

時光逝去像是在流浪

無力掙脫設下的框架

看著藍藍天空雲彩回想

自由也曾經那麼近啊

穿過了小路 左邊是一整片森林

喝一口水 走夕陽落下的方向

天空的背後 藏著我遺失的翅膀

等我找回 時光節奏 再次飛翔

時光逝去像是在流浪

無力掙脫設下的框架

看著藍藍天空雲彩回想

自由也曾經那麼近啊

天空的背後 藏著我遺失的翅膀

等我找回 時光節奏 再次飛翔

穿過了小路 左邊是一整片森林

喝一口水 走夕陽落下的方向

天空的背後 藏著我遺失的翅膀

等我找回 時光節奏 再次飛翔

我想穿上彩色羽翼飛翔

不想聽到任何人的電話

找個不用謊言的地方

回到我們相遇的地方

我會輕輕吶喊不怕受傷

用手指著一顆顆的星光

讓我們一直微笑吧

Love in 2000s vs 2020s

The general views on love 

between men and women 

in the 2000s and in the 2020s 

should be quite different, right?

2000年代一般的男女愛情觀，

和2020年代的相比，

應該很不同吧。

The World Goes On

“Long time no see!”

"I have changed jobs twice."

"I got a master's degree in art."

"I have opened a bakery shop."

The world goes on.

Barclay James Harvest - The World Goes On

See the gambler make a stand

Holds a lifetime in his hand

Win the game or lose control

But the world goes on forever

Life's a circle, I recall

Shadows played upon the wall

You pay the piper to call the tune

And the song goes on forever

And when all the words have gone

There's the thought to carry on

Just like a bird that sings

Leave it all behind and spread your wings

You can leave it all behind - 

spread your wings

Lay me down

Saw the road move on before me

Times when I was tired and lost my way

Looking at life and strangely for the first time

Thinking that I could stay here

But the world moves on forever

And when all the words have gone

There's the thought to carry on

Just like a bird that sings

Leave it all behind and spread your wings

You can leave it all behind - 

spread your wings

 

I have several favourite love songs

I have several favourite love songs.

One is about puppy love.

One is about one-way love.

One is about lost love.

One is about deep love.

My most favourite is the one about puppy love —

from a time when I knew that love could be stopped

just for her immigration reasons and

at a time when

there was no Internet.

Barclay James Harvest - Mocking Bird

Rain, sea, surf, sand, clouds, and sky

Hush, now, baby, don't you cry

There's a mocking bird

Singing songs in the trees

There's a mocking bird

Singing songs just for you and me

Rain, sea, surf, sand, clouds, and sky

Time will see your tears run dry

There's a mocking bird

Singing songs in the trees

There's a mocking bird

Personal beliefs about life

In one's life,
it is best to have some beliefs,
as this makes it easier to
live with a sense of reliance.
It is not necessary to have many beliefs;
just having a few is enough.

Living in deviation from one's beliefs
leads to unhappiness.
So, to adjust,
one should return to the track
approved by one's beliefs,
and then live constructively.

However, everyone can have beliefs
different from others.
Understanding this fact is essential;
not interfering with others' beliefs
and respecting them can save many troubles
caused by unnecessary interferences.

The Eternal View 2026 MV - Haruka Nakamura

____________

人生在世，最好擁有一些信念，

因為這能讓人更容易安心生活。

不必擁有很多信念，

幾個就夠了。

偏離信念的生活會導致不快樂，

但只要做出一些調整，

回歸到信念認可的軌道上，

就能過著自我認可的生活。

然而，每個人的信念都可能與他人不同。

因此，以尊重的態度，

理解也不要干涉他人的信念至關重要。

The difference between "girlfriend" and "girl friend"

To study word usage, 

we should distinguish between 

'girlfriend' and 'girl friend.' 

Dictionaries tell us that 

the term 'girlfriend' refers to 

a female partner in a romantic relationship, 

while the term 'girl friend' refers to 

a female friend in a non-romantic or 

platonic relationship.

What about one-way love toward a girl? 

I suggest it could be expressed as 'girl-friend' 

(for the purpose of this blog only).

Rachel Platten - Girls

Hope you always know your worth

Though I know that life can hurt

Hope you know that you can turn to each other

Hope you learn to trust your voice

Make mistakes and make some noise

Hope you never lose your joy or your hunger

Girls, you were born to run

To reach the stars and chase the sun

Girls, you are wild and free

The wind is at your back,

the world is at your feet

Sometimes life can feel unfair

Broken hearts you can't repair

Sometimes you might be scared that

no one gets you

It's not easy being brave when

tears are falling down your face

But that's how you'll find your strength,

so I'll let you

Girls, you were born to run

To reach the stars and chase the sun

Girls, you are wild and free

The wind is at your back,

the world is at your feet

Someday friends might turn their backs

Falling leaves might hide your path

You'll try hard, might come in last

Yeah, but just around the corner

You'll move mountains, you'll make waves

You'll be fearless, you'll be brave

There'll be nothing you can't face

Hope you always know your worth

Though I know that life can hurt

Hope you know that you can turn to each other

Hope the road ahead is clear

And I hope you know when I'm not here

That you'll always have the love of your mother

The Year of the Horse with No Name - 2026

Imagine I can ride a horse with no name 

through the desert.

Better still, I can survive the journey,

let the horse run free,

and let myself live free.

America - A Horse with No Name

On the first part of the journey 

I was looking at all the life

There were plants and birds and rocks and things

There was sand and hills and rings

The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz 

And the sky with no clouds 

The heat was hot, and the ground was dry 

But the air was full of sound 

I've been through the desert 

On a horse with no name 

It felt good to be out of the rain 

In the desert, 

you can remember your name 

'Cause there ain't no one for

to give you no pain 

La, la, la, la, la, la

La, la, la, la, la, la 

La, la, la, la, la, la

After two days in the desert sun 

My skin began to turn red 

After three days in the desert fun 

I was looking at a river bed 

And the story it told of a river that flowed 

Made me sad to think it was dead 

You see I've been through the desert 

On a horse with no name 

It felt good to be out of the rain 

In the desert, 

you can remember your name 

'Cause there ain't no one for 

to give you no pain 

La, la, la, la, la, la

La, la, la, la, la, la

La, la, la, la, la, la

La, la, la, la, la, la

After nine days, 

I let the horse run free 

'Cause the desert had turned to sea 

There were plants and birds and rocks and things

There was sand and hills and rings 

The ocean is a desert with it's life underground 

And a perfect disguise above 

Under the cities lies a heart made of ground 

But the humans will give no love 

You see I've been through the desert 

On a horse with no name 

It felt good to be out of the rain 

In the desert, 

you can remember your name 

'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain 

La, la, la, la, la, la

La, la, la, la, la, la

God is Watching Us

People are living and 

leading their lives differently, 

while the heavens are watching. 

Is it clear to the heavens, 

which are so far from the Earth?

人在做，天在看，

天離地那麼遙遠，

它看得清嗎？

Bette Midler - 1990 - From A Distance 

HK

From a distance the world 

looks blue and green,

And the snow-capped mountains white.

From a distance, 

the ocean meets the stream,

And the eagle takes to flight.

From a distance, there is harmony,

And it echoes through the land.

It's the voice of hope, 

it's the voice of peace,

it's the voice of every man.

From a distance, we all have enough,

And no one is in need.

And there are no guns, 

no bombs, and no disease,

No hungry mouths to feed.

From a distance we are instruments

Marching in a common band.

Playing songs of hope, 

playing songs of peace.

They're the songs of every man.

God is watching us. 

God is watching us.

God is watching us 

from a distance.

From a distance you look like my friend,

Even though we are at war.

From a distance I just cannot comprehend

What all this fighting is for.

From a distance there is harmony,

And it echoes through the land.

And it's the hope of hopes, 

it's the love of loves,

it's the heart of every man.

It's the hope of hopes,

it's the love of loves.

This is the song of every man.

And God is watching us, 

God is watching us,

God is watching us from a distance.

Oh, God is watching us, 

God is watching.

God is watching us from a distance
