2025年8月9日 UKFC on the Road 2025 ‐15th ANNIVERSARY‐DAY1@Zepp Haneda
連勤続き(ライジング行くから休みがない)で体調悪いし早く行くのがダルくなっていたけどAge Factoryを観たい気持ちが大きかったので頑張って開演に間に合うように会場へ向かう。Age Factoryと椿屋の時間帯は2階席抽選当たったので(シロップは外れた…そうだとは思ったけどめちゃくちゃ萎えた笑)とりあえずは座れるのが嬉しい笑 会場着いてスタッフの方にリスバン付けてもらったんだけど、スタッフの方がキツくないですか？楽しんで来て下さい！ってめちゃくちゃ丁寧な対応で感動した…。この暑い中、すごい人数相手にするのにありがとうございます…。早々に2階席へ入ったらまだ一番前の真ん中辺りが空いてたのでそこで座って待機。ふかふかのソファみたいな席でびっくりした。小説を読んで開演までひたすら時間を潰す。
きっちり定刻にスタート。
今回、観るのを一番楽しみにしてたバンド(シロップじゃないんかいってツッコミはなしでお願いします…)3ピースだけどサポートギター入れてるのは予習で知ってたので演奏に関しては安心(？)だろうと思ってたけど、ああやって聴くと如何に3ピースが音源を再現して演奏して歌うのが難しいかってのがよく分かった。いつも五十嵐さんのギターとかに文句言ってるけどすごい頑張ってるんだなぁ…(失礼過ぎる感想だけど)セットリストは定番なのかは分からないけど(夏感あるセットリストだな〜とは思った)私が好きな曲ばっかりで最高。Peaceめちゃくちゃ良い曲だし、OVERとBlood in blue、Everynightも聴けて嬉しい。ただ、ドラムがちょっと苦手な系統のドラムだったのと演奏が思ってた感じとちょっと違ったのでそうかーって感じはあったかも。ドラム上手いんだけど…私が苦手な感じが全面に出てて…。ライブの後改めて聴くとライブでああ言うドラムなのそりゃそうだよなって思ったり。でも沢山聴きたい曲聴けたしすごく楽しかった。フロアのノリはどんな感じなのかな？と思ってちょいちょい覗いてたけど拳を突き上げる感じでAge Factoryのファンって若いのでは…？？そうでもないのかな…？同世代ではないと思うんだけど…最近また拳の時代が来たのか…？？有識者、教えて欲しい。

とりあえずアートまで暇なのでご飯食べたり飛行機観たりして時間を潰す。喉が渇いたのでドリンク交換の為にライブハウスに戻ったついでにフロアの中入っとくか〜と思ったら丁度からあげ弁当の演奏が始まる所だったので観ることに。
若い感じ炸裂で熱めの真っ直ぐな音楽がババアには眩し過ぎる。しかし最近の若者は演奏上手いなぁ…。あとMCが面白い。僕がイェーイって言ったらフゥ〜↑↑って言ってもらって良いですか！？って言ってたり皆手を上げて欲しい！→皆手を上げる→今、写真撮ってください！盛り上がってる様に見える！って下りめちゃくちゃ笑った。「最後に大好きなsyrup16gさんのRebornと言う曲のカバーを…(めちゃくちゃざわつく)賛否両論あると思うし正直面識がないんで失礼な事も分かってます、でも大好きなので曲なのでやらして下さい！」ってMCからのReborn、ああ言う形で聴くと改めて良い曲だなぁと思うと同時に音源通りの歌い方に違和感を感じてしまう…笑 シロップの曲をああ言う形で聴けるのは珍しいので嬉しかった。
ステージ全然見えないけどもう聴ければ何でも良いや…って感じだったのでとりあえず適当に後方で待つ。リハでBOY MEETS GlRLとジェニファー'88をフルで演奏してビビる。やる気がすごい。しかし木下さんめちゃくちゃ声戻ってきてるなぁ…。一時期の酷い時は居た堪れなくなって聴いてられないぐらいだったのに…本当に良かった。相変わらず中憲のベースがムキムキで笑う。アートのベースにしてはムキムキ感すごいのよ…笑 でもやっぱり藤田さんと中憲のリズム隊はめちゃくちゃテンション上がる。新譜からも何曲か聴けたの嬉しかったし、スカーレットとUNDER MY SKINはいつ聴いてもテンション上がる。たまーにちらっと中憲が見えたんだけど、めちゃくちゃ強そうだった笑 全体的に大きいしアートで弾いてる時は結構暴れてるから…。戸高さんが「ART-SCHOOLは25周年ですが、ここまで続けてこれたのは大袈裟じゃなくUKPROJECTのお陰です」って言っててちょっと感動。木下さんが「UKFCも15周年なんですよね、お、おめでとう…ござ…います…」とちょい噛みで言ってて笑いが起こっていた…笑 終わった後、近くを歩いてた人が「左耳終わったわ〜」って話してて割と爆音だったんだなと思った。位置的に真ん中辺りにいたのもあるけど爆音に対しては少し耐性があるのかもしれない(LOSALIOSは大体耳がぼよーんってなるけど…)

本当に久しぶりに見た中田さんは相変わらずスタイル良くてイケメンで驚く…。リハでルビーの指輪とLOVERを演奏して悲鳴が上がるもサビ前で終わる笑 しかもLOVERSは本編で演奏しなかった笑 初っ端から群青で悲鳴がすごい。懐かし過ぎてめちゃくちゃテンション上がった。しかし中田さん、相変わらず歌もギターもめちゃくちゃに上手い。若い頃は分かんなかったけど3ピースであの演奏出来てたのリズム隊の2人の上手さもあるけど、中田さんのギターの腕が凄かったからだよな…。と言うか椿屋の演奏レベルが段違いで良い、上手すぎる。小寺さんのドラムめっちゃ好きだし隅倉さんのベース最高〜！！ギター紹介あったけど名前よく聞こえなくて後で調べたらカトウタロウ氏だった…！！今あんなロングヘアーなんだ…！中田さんの「久しぶり！実家に帰ってきました！今日はUKPROJECT時代の曲だけやります！」を聞いた時は流石に嘘ー！？って声出た笑 本当に懐かしい曲ばかりで胸が締め付けられる…。成れの果てヤバかった…。今2025年だよね…？？紫陽花はハンドマイクで歌ってたんだけど本当に歌が上手すぎる…。と言うか20年前の曲を昔と一切変わらない感じで完璧に歌いこなしてるの凄すぎる…。螺旋階段とかテンション上がらない訳ないしその後空中分解ってどんなセットリスト…！？とにかくセットリストがあの頃を過ごした人にはドンピシャ過ぎて…。あと相変わらず中田さんはめちゃくちゃ人気で裕二ー！！ってめちゃくちゃ女性から声掛けあって、その中で男性が「代表！」って呼んだら「代表って言うな！！」って中田さんが言ってたの笑った。まさか2025年に代表呼びする人が出てくるとは…笑 椿屋のお客さんのノリがちょっとビジュアル系(？)みたいな手のノリで面白かったのと最後中田さんが投げキッス(？)して悲鳴上がってたの流石過ぎる。照れが一切ない、ガチのジェントルマンって感じが正に中田裕二そのもの…笑 椿屋観れて良かったな〜って心から思った。

奥(マキさん側)まで行くと帰り絶対すぐ出れないと思ったので出口付近の後方も後方で観る事に。ヘルシンキもちゃんと観たかったんだけど何もかもが面倒くさくなってしまったので位置的に音が良くなくて(これはステージの向きとスピーカーの向きに逆らって立ってる自分が悪い)立ったままほぼ寝てた…。
シロップ始まる前にどデカい声で話してるシロップファン(男の人)が居て、野音のリハでのセンチメンタルが良かったから期待してたのにやらなかったって話をめちゃくちゃ大きい声で話してて(何故かちょっとドヤってるし)その時点で同じファンと思われたくないな…と思ってたらセンチメンタルを大声で歌い出して何なの！？ってなってしまった…。シロップファン以外もいる場所なのに…止めてくれよ…。何か最近シロップファンとテンション合わなくなってきて精神削られる事が多い…。でもこんな事でシロップを嫌いになりたくないよ…。若干テンション下がりつつ定刻でスタート。後ろも後ろなので姿とかは一切見えず。まぁ曲が聴ければ良いので問題なし。
一曲目が生きたいよでビビる。どう言う選曲！？遠藤さんのリクエストとかそう言うやつ？？レア曲過ぎる。ちゃんと演奏出来てるし(こう書くと言い方悪いけど…)生で聴けて嬉しい。
2曲目うつして。大好きな曲。いつ聴いても良い曲だなぁとしみじみ。しかしこの曲の最大の懸念(？)ラストのギターソロをシロップのファン以外にも聴かれると思うと何かそわそわしてしまう…笑 途中(かなり)危なかったけど何とか持ち直していけてた…と思いたいけど、ファン以外が聴いたら事故だったかも…でもこのギター本当に難しいから…と誰にも聞かれてないのに心の中で言い訳してた…笑
3曲目神のカルマ。イエー！！みたいな張り上げる声出してて喉大丈夫！？と思ったけど単発ライブだから大丈夫か…。やっぱやり慣れてる曲は違うね…全体的にまとまってて上手い笑 俺が払う必要はなーい！の後、全然ない！って歌ってた。
4曲目診断書。診断書！？好きな曲だから嬉しい！！1人盛り上がっていた…笑 レミゼの曲これからもライブで沢山やって欲しいよ〜！！ライブで聴くサビのギターとドラムが好き過ぎる…。でも歌詞結構間違えてた…笑
5曲目 sonic Disorder。ソニックか…と思ったけど周りはめちゃくちゃ盛り上がってた。いや全然良いんだけど…正直聴きすぎてお腹一杯なので…20年前から定番曲だし…笑 でもやっぱ長年演奏してるだけあって演奏が完璧(曲の入りとかアレンジも凝ってるし)だから聴いてて安心は出来る…。五十嵐さんが曲始まる所でいえー！！みたいな声張り上げててまた喉が心配になった笑 安定曲だし盛り上がるからセットリスト入りしやすいのかな。
6曲目 負け犬。五十嵐さんが「一番最高の曲やるわ」って言うからフロアも盛り上がって近くに居た人も「いけー！！」みたいな謎の声あげてた(多分センチメンタル歌ってた人…)のに始まったら負け犬で笑った。確かに良い曲だけど…笑 でもこの日の負け犬めちゃくちゃ良かったなぁ、胸にグッとくる演奏だった。ちょっと歌詞忘れしてたけど…笑
7曲目 In the Air,In the Error。好きな曲来た！！！また1人盛り上がる。この曲ライブで聴くの本当に好き！！この曲こそ定番になって盛り上がる様になって欲しい…。曲の完成度も高い感じするしこれからもやり続けてくれ〜！！
8曲目 落堕。ちょっとあっさりめの仕上がり(最初の部分とかラストの辺りそんなに長めじゃなかった)だったけど中畑さんの雄叫も聴けたし(何かロックン…！！みたいな不思議な感じの雄叫びだったけど笑)しかし落堕も曲の仕上がりが抜群に良い…。
アンコールはReborn。こうして聴くと本家めちゃくちゃ良いな…としみじみ思った。正直そんなに好きな曲でもないけど、演奏と言うか曲に多幸感と優しさが溢れてて胸がいっぱいになった。この曲、ずっと悲しい記憶で塗り潰されてたんだけど、こう言う風に感じる事が出来てる今がすごく奇跡であり幸せな事だなと思った。
覚えてるMC
·五「錚々たるメンツの中、初登場の我々がトリをやらせてもらって…良いのかなって思ったり…恐縮です…UKPは年功序列があるようなので…」って申し訳なさそうにしてたの五十嵐さん過ぎる。
·中「UKPROJECTの皆さんいつもありがとうございます。いつも応援してくれている皆さんもありがとうございます」って優しいトーンで言ってくれる中畑さんもすごく中畑さんだなぁと思った。

初めてUKFC行ったけど、ちゃんと開始時間厳守だしスタッフもしっかりしてて思ってたよりちゃんと楽しめた。UKPは何やかんや自分が好きなバンドが沢山所属してきたけど、寛大で少し緩さのある感じが何処にもない唯一無二でそれは社長が遠藤さんなのが大きいのかなと思っている。遠藤さんには勝手に色々感謝しています。これからも健康に気を付けてお酒は少し控えてもらえると嬉しいです…笑 UKFC15周年おめでとうございます。

Hey everyone. I don't know where else to post this. I need to write it down before I convince myself I was just hallucinating. I’m a grad student in Japan, doing fieldwork on forgotten local folklore. That's why I was out in the absolute middle of nowhere in Gunma prefecture last night.
My plan was to visit a tiny, dying village called Yomi-touge (not its real name) that supposedly has some unique traditions. Of course, my phone lost signal hours ago, and my car's GPS, which I bought in 2015, decided to have a total meltdown. The sun went down. The mountain roads are narrow and winding, and a thick, soupy fog started to roll in. The kind of wet, heavy air that makes you feel like you’re breathing water. I was completely, hopelessly lost.
After what felt like an eternity of driving at a crawl, I saw it. A light. A single, brutally bright rectangle of light cutting through the fog. A convenience store. One of those big chains you see everywhere, a FamilyMart or a Lawson, I couldn't tell which at first. I’ve never felt so relieved in my life. I parked the car and practically ran inside, the little door chime sounding way too loud in the dead silence.
The inside was… normal. Too normal. The lights were humming with a high-pitched buzz that drilled into my skull. The shelves were perfectly stocked. The air smelled of cheap air freshener and something else… something sweet and hot, like ozone or burnt sugar.
He was a young guy, maybe my age. Pale, drenched in sweat, with dark circles under his eyes like bruises. He moved with a painful stiffness, like every joint was rusted. He muttered a "Irasshaimase…" without even looking at me, his eyes fixed on the counter. His arms were covered in these intricate, dark tattoos, winding from his wrists up under his sleeves. I figured he was just sick, or on a rough shift. I felt bad for him.
I grabbed a can of coffee and went to the counter. "Sorry to bother you," I started in Japanese, "I'm pretty lost. Could you tell me where I am?"
He looked up, and his eyes didn't seem to focus on me. It was like he was looking at a screen a few inches in front of my face. "We do not provide directional information," he said, his voice a flat, rehearsed monotone. "Will that be all for you?"
Okay, weird, but whatever. Maybe it's store policy. As he reached for my coffee, his sleeve slid up. The tattoos on his arm… they weren’t just pictures. For a split second, I swear to God, the lines of ink shifted. They writhed, like tiny black worms under his skin, and a patch of his forearm glowed with a faint, sickly red light. He flinched, a sharp intake of breath, and quickly pulled his sleeve down.
I just froze. I couldn’t have seen that, right? I was tired, my eyes were playing tricks on me.
The person who walked in… I don’t know how to describe them. It was a man, I think. He was tall and wore an old, soaked trench coat. But his face… it was like my brain refused to process it. It wasn't that he had no face, it was that my eyes would slide right off it. It was a blur, a glitch, a 404 error in human form.
The clerk didn't seem surprised. He didn't even seem to see him as strange. His posture just became even more rigid. The red glow on his arm pulsed again, brighter this time, visible through his sleeve.
The faceless man didn't speak. He just stood there. The clerk, without a word, turned. But he didn't go to the coolers. He kept his back to the man, and held out his left hand, palm up. I heard a soft, wet, squelching sound. From a small, dark slit in the center of his palm that I hadn't noticed before, a small carton of strawberry milk, the kind you give to kids, just… emerged. It was produced out of his hand. It was wet with a clear, viscous fluid.
He placed it on the counter. "Here is the requested product," the clerk said, his voice straining. "The transaction is complete."
The faceless man picked up the strawberry milk. He put it in his coat pocket. And then he just… faded. He didn’t walk out the door. He dissolved into the humming air, like heat haze. A second later, he was gone.
The clerk let out a long, shuddering breath and swayed on his feet. He leaned heavily on the counter, his face sheet-white. He looked utterly, existentially exhausted. He saw me staring, my mouth hanging open, the can of coffee still in my hand.
For the first time, a flicker of something real, something human, crossed his face. It was pure, undiluted terror.
"You… are not a regular customer," he whispered, his voice trembling. "Your… concept is too stable. Please. Leave."
I didn't need to be told twice. I threw a 500 yen coin on the counter and ran out of there so fast I think I broke the sound barrier. I didn't even take my coffee. I just got in my car and drove, I don't know in which direction, I just drove.
I'm at a service station now, about 100km away. The sun is coming up. I can't stop shaking. It wasn't a dream. I know it wasn't. Because when I was fumbling for my keys, I realized I had accidentally grabbed the receipt from the counter.
It’s not for my coffee. It’s for the other transaction. It just has one item listed. It doesn't say "Strawberry Milk." It says:
ITEM: CONCEPTUAL SALVATION (FLAVOR: CHILDHOOD NOSTALGIA) - 1 UNIT
PRICE: ¥0
METHOD: ANNULMENT
Has anyone seen a store like this? What the hell is happening in the mountains of Gunma? What did I see? And God, that poor kid working the counter. He isn't in trouble. He's a part of it. He's the machine.

キズナアイは日本の公的機関や日米芸能界、世界の有名YouTuberやアーティストには結構受け入れられていた感じがする。
NHKの特設サイト「まるわかりノーベル賞2018」に出たり、日本政府観光局ニューヨーク事務所の訪日促進アンバサダーになったり。
NHKのバーチャルのど自慢、バーチャル紅白、キー局各種の情報番組に出て、日テレで「のばん組」系の冠番組も持った。
ファンの7割が海外というデータもあり、映画『アリータ: バトル・エンジェル』のクリエイターズセッションでアカデミー助演男優賞を受賞したクリストフ・ヴァルツ、ローサ・サラザール、ロバート・ロドリゲス、ジョン・ランドーなどと共演したとか、PewDiePieと絡んだとか、2017年の時点でBBC、Tubefilter、The Vergeなどで特集され、2019年には、ニューズウィーク日本版4月30日・5月7日合併号にて「世界が尊敬する日本人100」に選ばれたとかってwikipediaには書いてある。
とはいえ、バーチャルキャラクターとして「75億人のみんなとつながる」なんて大掛かりで平和的なビジョンを大真面目に掲げて分野横断的に活動した人はキズナアイが最初で最後で、あとに出てきた、バーチャルYouTuberではなくVtuberを名乗る人たちは、バーチャルキャバクラと揶揄されても否定できないような狭いファン商売に終始するばかりの志の低いものだった。いわばバーチャル地下アイドル。箱に所属し配信者ノリでドル売りをする、ビジネス手段に成り果てた。せいぜいが自分の興味あるリアル分野とコラボするくらいで、キズナアイのようにあちこちの業界の偉い人に体当たりしていき、いずれ世界を股にかけて異なるクラスタにいる人類をつなげようとするかのような雰囲気を匂わす人は出てこなかった。バーチャルアバターが秘めていた人類のあらたな在り方と自己表現の夢は、金に目がくらんだ人たちが作り上げた現実的な構造を前に忘れ去られた。そうこうしているうちにコロナからの戦争と、世界は平和とは真逆の、憎悪と経済対立の方向へあれよあれよと傾いていった。そうしてキズナアイも休止の末アーティスト活動をするだけの無力で平凡な存在になってしまった。Binary Skinに掛けられた魔法を解いたのは誰だったんだろう？ きっと、犯人はどこにでもいたんだろう。みんなが少しつづ解いてしまったんだ。

This is a detailed description of an anime-style female character, designed for use in generating illustrations or animations with various poses. The character embodies a cute, energetic, and slightly quirky personality, fitting a schoolgirl or tech-savvy theme. Here are the key features:
Hair:
Long, straight, platinum blonde hair that extends past the shoulders, reaching mid-back.
Hair is parted in the middle, with two high ponytails on either side of the head.
Each ponytail is tied with large, red, mechanical or robotic-style hair accessories resembling small, spiked or angular devices (possibly hinting at a tech or sci-fi theme).
The hair has a smooth, glossy texture typical of anime art, with slight highlights to emphasize its brightness.
Eyes:
Large, expressive green eyes, typical of anime-style characters, with a gentle upward curve at the corners, giving a friendly and cheerful expression.
The eyes have visible eyelashes and a subtle sparkle or shine, enhancing the cute and youthful appearance.
Skin:
Fair, smooth skin with a soft, rosy blush on the cheeks, adding to the character’s youthful and lively vibe.
Outfit:
Wears a green school blazer with a white dress shirt underneath, typical of Japanese school uniforms (seifuku style).
The blazer has a structured, slightly oversized fit, with rolled-up sleeves, giving a casual yet stylish look.
A purple plaid skirt with ruffled edges, complementing the schoolgirl aesthetic while adding a playful touch.
A purple backpack with colorful, cartoonish patterns or stickers (possibly featuring small, chibi-style characters or tech motifs) slung over one shoulder.
Black knee-high socks and dark shoes, completing the school uniform look with a neat and tidy appearance.
Accessories:
Holding a black camera with both hands, positioned in front of her chest, suggesting she’s a photography enthusiast or documenting something.
A small, chibi-style plush toy or mascot character (with spiky orange hair and a mischievous grin) attached to her backpack, adding a quirky and playful element.
The red mechanical hair accessories on her ponytails, which have a futuristic or robotic design, possibly glowing faintly or featuring small LED-like details.
Pose and Expression:
Currently in a seated or slightly crouched pose, with legs bent and one knee raised, giving a relaxed and approachable demeanor.
Smiling softly with a closed-mouth smile, exuding warmth, friendliness, and a hint of curiosity or excitement (fitting for someone holding a camera).
The overall body language is lively and dynamic, with a slight tilt of the head, emphasizing her youthful energy.
Background and Context:
The character appears in a clean, minimal background (possibly white or light-colored) to keep the focus on her, but she could fit into a schoolyard, tech lab, or urban setting with cherry blossoms or modern buildings, reflecting a blend of traditional Japanese culture and futuristic themes.
The lighting is soft and natural, with slight shadows to add depth, maintaining an anime-style aesthetic.
The character suggests a blend of innocence and tech-savvy curiosity, possibly a schoolgirl with an interest in photography, robotics, or pop culture (inspired by the mechanical hair accessories and camera).
Her overall design balances cuteness (chibi plush toy, school uniform) with a modern, quirky edge (tech accessories, camera).
This script can be used as a base for generating images or illustrations of this character in various poses, such as standing, walking, taking photos, interacting with others, or exploring different environments. Adjust the pose, background, or additional props (like different camera angles or tech gadgets) as needed for specific scenes.

Shadow’s trailer also generated backlash from some gamers, who criticised the choice of Yasuke as a main character over a native Japanese protagonist.
Opponents have accused those critics of being racist, and have pointed out that Yasuke is based on a real-life person.
Charles, speaking to Newsbeat before the trailer dropped, says the developers “put a lot of emphasis on authenticity and making sure we depict Japan and the culture right”.
“So when we started the project, we had a historian with us from day one,” he says.
He says the team also consulted weapons experts and travelled to Japan to get a feel for the landscape and locations in the game.
シャドウズのトレーラーは、一部のゲーマーからの反発も生みました。彼らは、日本人主人公ではなく弥助を主人公として選んだことを批判しました。
これに対して、批判者たちを人種差別主義者だと非難する声も上がっており、弥助が実在の人物に基づいていることが指摘されています。
チャールズは、トレーラー公開前にNewsbeat（BBCのニュース番組）との対話で、開発者たちが「日本とその文化を正しく描写することに重点を置き、真正性を重視した」と述べています。
African samurai: The enduring legacy of a black warrior in feudal Japan ｜CNN
When feudal Japan’s most powerful warlord Nobunaga Oda met Yasuke, a black slave-turned-retainer, in 1581, he believed the man was a god.
Oda had never seen an African before. And like the locals in Japan’s then-capital of Kyoto, he was awed by Yasuke’s height, build and skin tone, according to Thomas Lockley, the author of “African Samurai: The True Story of Yasuke, a Legendary Black Warrior in Feudal Japan.”
“When Yasuke got to Kyoto (with Jesuit missionaries), there was a massive riot. People wanted to see him and be in his presence,” says Lockley, who spent nine years researching and writing the book, which was published last month.
Oda believed Yasuke to be either a guardian demon or “Daikokuten,” a god of prosperity usually represented by black statues in temples. He tried to rub the pigment from Yasuke’s skin, believing it was black ink. Once convinced Yasuke was real, he immediately threw a feast in his honor, says Lockley.
1581年、戦国時代日本の最も強力な戦国大名である織田信長が、奴隷から家臣となった黒人のヤスケに出会った時、信長はヤスケを神だと信じました。
「アフリカン・サムライ：戦国時代日本の伝説的黒人武士ヤスケの真実の物語」の著者トーマス・ロックリーによると、信長はそれまでアフリカ人を見たことがありませんでした。そして、当時の都であった京都の地元民と同様に、ヤスケの身長、体格、肌の色に畏敬の念を抱いたそうです。
「ヤスケが（イエズス会宣教師とともに）京都に到着した時、大規模な騒動が起きました。人々はヤスケを見たがり、彼の存在を身近に感じたがりました」と、9年の歳月をかけて研究し執筆した先月出版されたこの本について、ロックリーは語ります。
信長はヤスケを守護の鬼か、通常寺院で黒い像で表される繁栄の神「大黒天」のどちらかだと信じていました。信長はヤスケの肌の色素を擦り取ろうとし、それが黒インクだと考えていました。ヤスケが本物だと確信すると、すぐに彼の名誉を称える宴を開いたとロックリーは述べています。

最近も IGN Japan 使って煽り散らかし https://youtu.be/keiDRORg9hc
ここまでやるなら、ゲームに規制は不要！！あらゆる規制に反対する！！と表明したらよかったのでは？って思うが、
なぜか日本版だけ日本人の首ホームラン出来るのが禁止されているの突っ込まないんですよね。Roninはゴア表現あるのになぜでしょうね？
あと日本人の非武装市民はペナルティ無し攻撃できるけど白人キャラは攻撃できないこともツッコミなし。NPCだろうが攻撃できるゲームはいくらでもあるんですけど
It was surprisingly gory, like the decapitations, you could get coated in blood. How vital is that to the assassin’s fantasy?
（斬首シーンなどでは、予想外に残虐で、血まみれになることもありますね。これはアサシンのファンタジーにとってどれほど重要なのでしょうか？）
I think it’s not an assassin thing, it’s a Japan thing in our case. So looking at death was a day-to-day occurrence in that period, and the way most people died in Japan during that time is clean decapitations.
So we didn’t want to shy away from it, although you can turn off the violence if you want. There’s options for it. You can turn off the blood, you can turn off the dismemberment and stuff. So it’s more trying to be faithful to the war aspect of Japan at that period. Death was a common thing and decapitation was not a strange sight in Japan.
私たちの場合、これはアサシンに関することというよりも、日本に関することだと考えています。当時の日本では、死を目にすることは日常的なことでした。そしてその時代の日本で多くの人々が死んでいった方法は、きれいな斬首でした。
ですので、私たちはそれを避けようとはしませんでした。ただし、望めば暴力表現をオフにすることもできます。そのためのオプションがあります。血の表現をオフにしたり、切断などの表現をオフにしたりすることができます。これは、むしろその時代の日本の戦争の側面に忠実であろうとする試みなのです。死は日常的なことであり、斬首は日本では珍しい光景ではありませんでした。

First dates can be exciting and nerve-wracking all at once. You’re meeting someone new, learning about their interests, and trying to figure out if there’s chemistry between you. And then there’s flirting, that delicate dance of showing someone you’re interested without being too forward or awkward.
Flirting doesn’t have to be a high-pressure situation. In fact, it can be the most fun part of getting to know someone. Whether you're meeting someone on MixerDates or any other platform, the most important thing is to be genuine, stay calm, and let the connection develop naturally.
If you’ve ever found yourself wondering how to flirt on a first date without feeling uncomfortable, you’re not alone. Everyone has their awkward moments, but the more you understand the art of flirting, the easier it becomes. In this article, we’ll break down how to flirt in a way that feels natural, exciting, and authentic to who you are. So, let's dive in and learn how to make the most of your first date experience—without overthinking it.
When it comes to flirting, confidence is key. But what does it really mean to be confident on a first date? Confidence doesn’t mean you need to be perfect, or even outgoing—it simply means being comfortable in your own skin and showing up as your authentic self.
Have you ever noticed how people are drawn to those who radiate self-assurance? It’s not about bragging or dominating the conversation—it’s about presenting yourself with ease. If you feel good about yourself, it will naturally show. A great smile, good posture, and eye contact can go a long way in making a good first impression.
For instance, think about the last time someone walked into a room and immediately caught your attention—not because they were the most attractive person in the room, but because of their energy. They were confident, they were present, and they made you feel at ease. That’s the kind of confidence you want to project on your date.
When you're confident, you're not worried about saying the perfect thing. Instead, you focus on enjoying the moment, making the other person feel comfortable, and letting the connection happen naturally. That’s the magic of confidence—it allows you to be present, fun, and, most importantly, yourself.
Let’s face it—no one wants to feel like they’re being “worked” or put through a game. That’s why subtlety is such a powerful tool when it comes to flirting. It's all about showing interest without being over-the-top or too obvious.
Flirting doesn’t always mean complimenting someone non-stop or using cheesy pickup lines. In fact, the most successful flirting is the kind that happens behind the scenes—subtle, playful, and lighthearted. Think about the little moments, like a teasing comment about how they always order the same thing at a restaurant or the way you laugh at a silly joke they make.
The key is to find a balance. A simple smile or a playful comment can convey interest without being too much. For example, if your date tells you they love hiking but they tend to get lost easily, you could say something like, “So, you’re telling me you need a personal guide? I could get behind that!” It’s lighthearted, humorous, and most importantly, it keeps the conversation fun without putting too much pressure on the situation.
By keeping it subtle, you allow your date to feel at ease. It takes the pressure off them to be perfect and allows both of you to enjoy the interaction more naturally. Flirting doesn’t need to be a performance—it’s about creating an environment where both of you can feel comfortable and authentic.
Now, let’s talk about something incredibly important in the flirting game: active listening. When we’re on a date, we often get caught up in thinking about what to say next, how we’re coming across, or if we’re being interesting enough. But the best way to make an impression? Truly listening to your date.
Active listening means you’re fully engaged in the conversation, giving your date your full attention and responding thoughtfully. It’s about showing that you care about what they’re saying and that you’re genuinely interested in getting to know them better. When you listen actively, you’re also giving them space to open up, and that can create an immediate connection.
For example, if your date mentions they recently traveled to Japan, instead of simply saying, “That’s cool!” you could follow up with something like, “What was the most memorable experience you had there?” This shows that you’re not just hearing their words but are genuinely curious and invested in their experiences. It’s a great way to build rapport and let them know you’re not just there to impress them—you’re there to connect.
While your words are important, body language often speaks louder than anything you can say. Whether you realize it or not, your body is constantly communicating how you feel. How you sit, stand, and move tells your date whether you’re relaxed, engaged, or distracted.
Small gestures can go a long way in flirting. A light touch on the arm, a subtle lean in when they’re speaking, or maintaining good eye contact—all these body language cues help signal your interest. And the great thing is, when done naturally, these cues can be just as effective as words.
For example, if you’re sitting at a café on your date and you lean in slightly when they’re sharing a funny story, you’re not just showing that you’re interested—you’re inviting them into your space. It’s an invitation to connect further. And when they respond by leaning in too, that’s when the magic happens—the unspoken connection that tells you both that there’s potential for more.
Flirting through body language doesn’t mean making grand gestures or being overly touchy. It’s about being present and showing that you’re engaged with your date in a subtle, but meaningful way.
It’s easy to get caught up in overthinking how to flirt or trying to figure out if your date is into you. But here’s a secret—when you let go of the pressure and allow yourself to have fun, everything flows much more naturally. Flirting on a first date doesn’t need to feel like a test or an assignment. It’s supposed to be a fun, lighthearted experience that sets the stage for more great dates ahead.
When was the last time you had a genuinely fun date? Was it when you were trying too hard to impress, or when you were both laughing, chatting, and enjoying each other's company? Flirting becomes effortless when you're present, enjoying the moment, and letting the connection grow naturally.
Sometimes, it's the small moments—like sharing a laugh or swapping embarrassing stories—that make a first date truly special. When you focus on having fun, you create an environment where both of you can relax, flirt, and let the chemistry grow. That’s the secret to a great date.
One of the best things about using a platform like MixerDates is that it takes the guesswork out of the equation. By connecting with someone who already shares your interests and values, you’ve got a head start on making a real connection. No more swiping through countless profiles hoping for a spark—on MixerDates, you already know there’s something in common.
When you’re already on the same page with your date, flirting comes more easily. There’s less of that awkward, “Are we even on the same wavelength?” feeling, and more of the fun, “Wow, we really click!” vibe. Whether you’re talking about favorite hobbies, movies, or life goals, the conversation flows naturally, making the flirting feel effortless.

『アフリカ人奴隷を使うと言う流行が始まった』と言い出したのは氏が初ではないかも知れないが、
氏が大手ニュースメディアのCNNで語っていた、『信長は弥助を神だと思っていた』『日本で最も有名な外国生まれの武士となった』

African samurai: The enduring legacy of a black warrior in feudal Japan ｜CNN
When feudal Japan’s most powerful warlord Nobunaga Oda met Yasuke, a black slave-turned-retainer, in 1581, he believed the man was a god.
Oda had never seen an African before. And like the locals in Japan’s then-capital of Kyoto, he was awed by Yasuke’s height, build and skin tone, according to Thomas Lockley, the author of “African Samurai: The True Story of Yasuke, a Legendary Black Warrior in Feudal Japan.”
“When Yasuke got to Kyoto (with Jesuit missionaries), there was a massive riot. People wanted to see him and be in his presence,” says Lockley, who spent nine years researching and writing the book, which was published last month.
Oda believed Yasuke to be either a guardian demon or “Daikokuten,” a god of prosperity usually represented by black statues in temples. He tried to rub the pigment from Yasuke’s skin, believing it was black ink. Once convinced Yasuke was real, he immediately threw a feast in his honor, says Lockley.
1581年、戦国時代日本の最も強力な戦国大名である織田信長が、奴隷から家臣となった黒人のヤスケに出会った時、信長はヤスケを神だと信じました。
「アフリカン・サムライ：戦国時代日本の伝説的黒人武士ヤスケの真実の物語」の著者トーマス・ロックリーによると、信長はそれまでアフリカ人を見たことがありませんでした。そして、当時の都であった京都の地元民と同様に、ヤスケの身長、体格、肌の色に畏敬の念を抱いたそうです。
「ヤスケが（イエズス会宣教師とともに）京都に到着した時、大規模な騒動が起きました。人々はヤスケを見たがり、彼の存在を身近に感じたがりました」と、9年の歳月をかけて研究し執筆した先月出版されたこの本について、ロックリーは語ります。
信長はヤスケを守護の鬼か、通常寺院で黒い像で表される繁栄の神「大黒天」のどちらかだと信じていました。信長はヤスケの肌の色素を擦り取ろうとし、それが黒インクだと考えていました。ヤスケが本物だと確信すると、すぐに彼の名誉を称える宴を開いたとロックリーは述べています。

織田信長に仕えた黒人侍、弥助（やすけ）。イエズス会の宣教師に同行していた弥助を信長が気に入り、家臣に取り立てたのだという。２人の主従関係は「本能寺の変」によりわずか１年３か月で終わったが、その前後の弥助の足取りはこれまでなぞに包まれてきた。しかし近年の研究により、アフリカからアジア、日本へ到る弥助の人生が次第に明らかに。ハリウッドで映画化も進むなど、今世界中から注目を集める、弥助の生きざまに迫る。

ちなみ 群馬県立文書館 のレファレンス事例紹介コーナーによると『くろほう』について下記の回答があるね
問12 群馬県立文書館所蔵の古文書に、黒人と思われる「くろほう」という記述があるとききました。それは事実でしょうか。
栗間家文書（P00101）のNo1「年未詳加藤清正書状」（下川又左衛門ほか宛）には、豊臣秀吉の朝鮮出兵に関連する記述の中で「くろほう」という言葉が出てきます。そして2021年3月30日にNHK BS4Kで放送された「Black Samurai 信長に仕えたアフリカン侍・弥助」の中で、日本大学准教授のロックリー・トーマス氏がこの文書に出てくる「くろほう」こそ、織田信長に仕えた黒人武将弥助の後身ではないかと、述べられています。まず文書館内では、この「くろほう」をこれまで全く黒人として認識しておらず、トーマス氏のご指摘に驚いています。実は、この「くろほう」が弥助かどうかはともかく、黒人と推定する見解は以前からありました（中島楽章氏「16世紀九州末ー東南アジア貿易」『史学雑誌』118－8号ほか）。 ただし現時点では、この文書の1カ所にしか出てこないため、断定は難しいと思われます。例えば、『源氏物語』にも「くろほう」という言葉が出てきますが、これは「黒芳」（練り香）の意味で、日本の古典で頻出しているようです。また、当館文書を読むと、人間ではなく、物を指す記述と見た方が自然ではないか、という意見も係内で出ています。以上より、現時点では「くろほう」を直ちに黒人と即断するのは難しいのではないか、というのが当館古文書係の見解です。

Yasuke fought his way to Nobunaga's side, his sword cutting through the traitorous samurai with brutal efficiency. The two men made their final stand together, back-to-back, against the relentless onslaught.
In the end, however, they were outnumbered. As Nobunaga fell, mortally wounded, Yasuke continued to fight, but he too was eventually captured. Mitsuhide Akechi, in a twisted display of respect, spared Yasuke's life, acknowledging the loyalty and prowess of the black samurai. Yasuke was sent to the Jesuit missionaries, his future uncertain.
Yasuke's journey had been a remarkable one, from a slave in a foreign land to a trusted advisor and samurai. Despite his extraordinary circumstances, he remained true to himself and his values. His story of strength, resilience, and loyalty would be remembered and honored for generations to come.
Epilogue:
As the sun set on another day in Japan, the whisper of the wind carried the tale of the black samurai, Yasuke, across the land. It would weave its way through the ages, inspiring countless others to rise above adversity and carve their own paths through the storms of life.

Title: The Black Samurai: Yasuke's Odyssey
Prologue: Whispers of a Stranger
The year was 1579. The shores of Kyoto were caressed by the gentle waves of the Sea of Japan, as a strange vessel approached. Aboard the ship, a tall, dark-skinned man with the bearing of a warrior stood, gazing upon the foreign land that would soon become his home. His name was Yasuke, and he had been brought to Japan by the Jesuit missionaries, sold into servitude and torn from his African homeland.
Chapter 1: Nobunaga's Curiosity
Yasuke's arrival in Kyoto was met with awe and fascination. His ebony skin, unlike anything the Japanese had ever seen, drew the attention of the powerful daimyo Oda Nobunaga. Intrigued by the foreigner's strength and demeanor, Nobunaga requested a meeting with Yasuke. The two men found a mutual respect for each other's warrior spirit, and thus, Yasuke was granted a position in Nobunaga's service.
Chapter 2: The Path of the Samurai
As Yasuke adapted to his new life, he faced many challenges. He struggled to learn the language and customs, as well as the intricacies of the samurai code, Bushido. Despite the adversity, his determination to prove himself to Nobunaga and the other samurai never wavered. Gradually, Yasuke honed his skills in swordsmanship and strategy, earning the respect of his peers and the title of samurai.
Chapter 3: A Warrior's Bond
Yasuke's service to Nobunaga brought him into contact with many prominent figures of the time, including Mitsuhide Akechi, a cunning and ambitious samurai lord. While their friendship was built on mutual admiration and shared experiences on the battlefield, a lingering mistrust lingered beneath the surface. Yasuke could not shake the feeling that Mitsuhide's ambitions would one day prove to be a grave threat to Nobunaga and his empire.
Chapter 4: The Taste of Betrayal
The year was 1582. The air hung heavy with tension as Yasuke rode beside Nobunaga to the Honno-ji temple in Kyoto. Unbeknownst to them, Mitsuhide Akechi had orchestrated a coup against Nobunaga, his forces surrounding the temple and setting it ablaze. Trapped within the inferno, Nobunaga chose to commit seppuku, entrusting Yasuke with his sword and his final words.
Chapter 5: The Black Samurai's Vengeance
As the flames consumed the temple, Yasuke vowed to avenge Nobunaga's death. He fought his way out of the burning temple, cutting down Mitsuhide's men with the ferocity of a wounded tiger. In a final confrontation with Mitsuhide, Yasuke's loyalty and honor as a samurai shone through, but he was ultimately captured and spared by Mitsuhide, who could not bring himself to kill the man he had once called a friend.
Epilogue: The Legend Endures
With Nobunaga's death, Yasuke's fate was uncertain. The events that followed his confrontation with Mitsuhide would become the stuff

ただ、残念なことにさわやかな曲は少ないです。
そして、鬱屈した気持ちをアメリカ社会に対してぶつけていた方々は、
まぁ、このころから洋楽聞かなくなったので、私が事情を知らないだけかもしれません。

と、色々書いているうちにブクマで同じような曲も挙がっていました、すいません。
アメリカでーとか言いながらなんで Yahoo! JAPAN ほか日本のニュースサイト(笑)を見てんねん・・・って気持ちにしかならん
下記のワードを Google に入れて検索掛けるってそんなに難しそう・想像もできない行動か？
Chris Rock Will Smith After Oscars
そうすれば秒で出てくるでしょ？ニュースやそれにコメントしている一般人のお気持ちがさ
下記のコメントがアメリカの3.3億人を代表する意見だとは思わないが、国籍問わず下記に同意出来ない人は文明人は名乗るべきでは無いと思う
というか殴られたくないので頼むから家にこもってお外に出ないで欲しい
Oy. It was not a joke about disease. It was a joke about a shaved head. Two completely different things.
And let's say it was a cruel, vicious joke about alopecia. How is strutting across the stage and assaulting Rock "defending" Jada? Smith could have shut up, glared at Rock, and made a statement later about a serious medical condition (you know, like a fully mature adult). He could have stayed in his seat and yelled for Rock to shut up. He could have gotten on his feet, walked on stage, and yelled at Rock. He did none of these things. He chose to commit a criminal act. That is not defense, that is offense. And it's a crime.
They are celebrities. They chose a life in the public eye and so along with the fame and money and celebrity, comes criticism. If they don't have thick skin they should retire from public life.
病気についてのジョークではありません。坊主頭についてのジョークだった。全く違うものだ。
仮に、それが脱毛症に関する残酷で悪質なジョークだったとしよう。
ステージを闊歩し、ロックに暴行を加えたことが、どうしてジェイダを「擁護」することになるのだろうか。
スミスは黙ってロックを睨みつけ、深刻な病状について後で声明を出すこともできたはずだ（ほら、完全に成熟した大人みたいにね）。
彼は自分の席にとどまり、ロックに黙れと怒鳴ることもできたはずだ。
立ち上がってステージに上がり、ロックに怒鳴ることもできたはずだ。
彼はそのいずれもしなかった。
彼は犯罪行為を行うことを選んだのです。
ウィル・スミスがしたことは犯罪で恥ずべき行為でそこに同情の余地はない
むしろこれに同意出来ない理由が知りたい。盗人にも三分の理じゃねーんだわ。日常で身の安全を心配する必要があったら何も出来ねーんだわ
文明人ならここで話は終わりだし終わって欲しい
あと、『ウィル・スミスがしたのは犯罪行為で稚拙ではあるが妻を守る行動だったのか？』に対しても、
ほぼ満場一致で『守るという発想自体が有毒な男らしさ(Toxic masculinity)』です
支配されたい支配したい欲望を持つ方々は生きづらい俺私さんと泥沼愛憎劇を繰り広げたくないなら、
しいて無理やり自分の身の回りのことに置き換えて話を続けようとした時に意見が割れるというか食いつかれてるのがここ
Yea, no. It was an example of lack of self control, misplaced anger, and uber Hollywood entitlement to think he can physically assault someone for comparing his wife to Demi Moore. Smith was on camera laughing at the joke. Jada, is a strong woman, she doesn’t need theatrics like what Smith did to ‘protect’ her.
I’ve seen serious Alopecia in my 30+years as a hairdresser, and those who had it didn’t consider themselves ‘diseased’ or in need of pity. It was distressing at best, but not anything they needed their husbands to defend. These millionaire entitled elitists were at their best that night showing us who they are, and Smith ruined what should have been a big night for his acting career in behaving like a thug.
自分の妻をデミ・ムーアと比較したことで、誰かを身体的に攻撃できると考えるのは、自制心の欠如、見当違いの怒り、そして超ハリウッド的権利の一例です。
スミスはそのジョークに笑っているところをカメラに撮られていた。
ジェイダは強い女性だから、スミスがやったような「守る」ための演出は必要ない。
私は美容師として30年以上、深刻な脱毛症を見てきましたが、そのような人は自分を「病気」だとも「同情されるべきもの」だとも思っていませんでした。
悩ましくはあるが、夫に守ってもらうほどのことでもない。
But the fact is that Chris Rock didn't just go after Smith's wife, he went after her appearance, which is caused by a medical condition.
That's as beyond today's current standards as it gets.
Alopecia is a painful experience that many Black women go through and should not be joked about.
クリスは “Jada, can’t wait for G.I. Jane 2,” とジョークを言ったわけでどう聞いても髪型をいじったとしか思えないけど、
意外と病状に起因する彼女の容姿をネタにしているのでけしからんという意見もあった
というかそもそも外見を弄ること自体が現代の感覚からして時代遅れであるという意見も
まぁこの感覚は日米問わず若者にはある物じゃないかな？って思う＞外見弄りのジョークは"時代遅れ"or "不快だから見たくない"
あとは少し脱線気味な気はするのだけど、脱毛症が軽く扱われていることからの『黒人女性はとにかく軽く扱われる』という意見
実際、黒人女性にはさまざまな困難があるみたいなので、有名人の話題に乗せて問題提起したい気持ちはわかるし、それが悪い行いとも思わないけど、
あと、脱毛症＞黒人女性はとにかく軽く扱われ過ぎ からの マイノリティへの差別
マイノリティの困難はなんでも鼻で笑ったり軽く扱いがちなんだみたいな
実際、その通りなんだとは思うけど、やっぱり純粋に今回の話に関係あるかないかって言ったら無いよね
以上です
