Last weekend I went to my favorite and most secret store cottage in oita with my best friend.

I haven't had enough energy recently because I've been busy with design works and sound arrangements. I was so tired and really needed a change...
We'd planned and set our schedule a month beforehand.

Actually, I wrote 2 of my songs ("heaven_inst" and "pray") in this villa about 3 years ago.
At the time, I was working on about 5 or 6 songs, maybe even more.
Anyway, I don't remember exactly...

So I read and studied Stanislavsky's method book "Strasberg at The Actors Studio" by Lee Strasberg and Robert H.Hethman again.
The reason why I read this book is that this method has common solutions for creating high quality works.
Additionally my favorite TV program is "Inside the Actors Studio".
However, the Japanese title is "***(actor's name) said myself"....Gross....

Ryu murakami, who is a japanese writer has commented on the book as follows:

What an amazing book!

"One of the most serious misunderstandings actor has is in the hypothesis that when on actor forgets himself he is acting with confidence. But it is the sort of hysteria (same situation acting and life). Forget means to over one point where doing something with our own will."

Lee Strasberg pointed out that a lot of problems an actor has are similar to a surgeon.
It goes without saying, that it is not just a theory of acting. It is almost psychoanalysis.
It is so abstractly and scientifically strict.

Making the most of imagination with own will and never losing self-control, that's all.

I'm concerned that living in our complicated society is more helpful us.
Is it ture?

On th last day, we went to an aquarium named "umitamago" (this means "sea-egg") in beppu-city oita.
It is adjacent to beppu-sea, and its architecture design is so cool.
I recommend you to visit it when you come.
