Farewell. [おいどん in London]
The world cup final game has been over and also my life in the UK has been finished at the same time.
I am heading to Paris by overnight bus. I have already enjoyed the atmosphere of France in advance because at the Pub where I have watched the game, there were a lot of french supporters looking so happy.
Actually, I have gotten to go back to Japan for some reason but I can’t for now. What a heartless jerk I am. Forgive me.
I think I have been changed. I have learned lots of things through the experiences of my life outside of Japan. I have got something. I can not prove it or show it physically. I can not explaine what it is for now but I am sure I have gotten something good and new, which would affect my future ahead. I have understood about my country more clearly by viewing from outside. I couldn’t see it when I was inside, ironically.
The most important thing I learned was, I guess, I can stay being myself anytime, anyway. Even if people around you were colored red and they forced you to be red, you don’t need to be red. You can stay being in your own color. There should be as many colors as number of people. 十人十色。
What I wrote above is just a metaphor though, I have learned something like it practically. For me as a topical Japanese guy, it was so shocking, really.
Anyway, I am leaving this country. I can't thank the people I met here throughout this 2 years in the UK enough. It has been really great to meet you all. I couldn't say goodbye to some people in person. That is my only regret.
I hope your whole life will be full of happiness. I am looking forward to seeing you again someday somewhere. Farewell.
干し餅。 [おいどん in London]
「干し餅は、干されているようで干されていない」
これは松岡修造日めくりカレンダーの17日のページに書かれていた言葉だ。
まさに今の自分に向けられたような言葉だ。
今お世話になっているお家のリビングに置かれていたものだが、思わず少し感動してしまった。
勝手ながら、全ページ、31日分、写真を撮って保存させてもらいました。
意外とこういう何気ないところや思いがけないところに、背中を押してくれたり、勇気をくれたり、ヒントを与えてくれるようなものが転がっているもんだ。
今、私は干されている。
しかし、干されているようで、実は干されてなどはいないのだ！！
当初の予定とは大きく違ってしまった今現在ではあるが、
スネェェエーーク！！まだだ、まだ終わってない！！
メタルギアの敵役並みのしつこさで頑張ろうと思います。
とりあえず、現時点で言えることは一つだけ。
例えレイシストだと言われようがなんだろうが、中国人とは2度と仕事はしたくない。
香港人は全然問題ない、台湾人ももちろん、しかし中国人は遠慮したい。
100歩譲って、同僚として働くのは良いけど、上司にだけは持ちたくない。
もし選べるのであれば、だけど。
願わくば。
理由が聞きたい人は個人的に聞いてくだされ。

太陽が33。 [おいどん in London]
どうもどうも、ついに33歳になりました。なってしまいました。ゾロ目です。
だからどうだということは特にないですが、仮に僕が100歳まで生きるとしたら、人生でたった9回しかないゾロ目の一年です。なんだか特別な気がしませんか？？
そんな私の記念すべき日を祝福するかのように、この時期のロンドンとしては珍しく(？)、ここ連日太陽が燦々と、サンサンと、33と、照っております。
ダジャレです、どうも失礼いたしました。
どうでもいい事ですが、昔、小学生の頃に「道徳」の時間に見せられたNHK教育ドラマ「さわやか3組」を思い出しました。OP曲で「サンサンサン、さわやか3組〜♪」とか言っていたアレです。
あの頃はきっと純粋だった。
あの頃の幼い自分と、今の自分とでは、一体どれだけ変化したのだろうか。
あの頃の自分を仮にAだとして、アルファベット順に変化した自分を大まかに分けて定義していくとすると、果たして今の自分はどの辺りにいるのだろうか？
そもそも26文字じゃあ足りないかもしれないけど。
とはいえあんまり変わっていない気もする。
それこそ「夜空ノムコウ」じゃないけど、「あの頃の未来に、僕らは立っているのかな？」
その問いには確実にNOと言える。何故なら、あの頃の自分は未来のことなどこれっぽちも真剣に考えていなかったからだ！！！
今もそうだけど！！！(爆)

I just can’t stop dreaming of it. [おいどん in London]
Finally!! It has just started!!
MONOPOLY!!!
I’ve been waiting for it!!
Last year, I couldn’t get any prizes. I was late to notice that there was such a great event. However I was able to start collecting the stickers from the begining of it this time. So I would make my British dream come true!!!
I know it is almost impossible but I can’t stop dreaming of being rich.
I had a good start so far. That’s good. that’s good.
I don’t want to dig into bins for the stickers. That is the last thing I want to do lol

A New Toy [おいどん in London]
I got a new toy about 2 month ago. It is a guitar. A friend of mine lent me. Acutually, I used to have my own one and play it when I was in Japan but I hadn’t even touch one of them for ages. I’m not good at playing any musical instruments. I don’t have a talent for it. That’s why I gave up once.
At the begining, of cause I couldn’t play it very well. I just practiced. Now I’ve got better to play it. More importantly, singing with a guitar is very fun for me. I realized it again. I can be myself when I am singing. I feel something like that. In London, I’m just playnig a guitar and singing like I was in Japan before. Yeah, I know. I don’t need to be here to do it. Another friend of mine said to me that you should do something you can do only in this country. London is right there, outside of your flat. Exprole London!! That’s his last words which impressed me the most before he left from the UK. Yeah, that’s true. He is right. I understood what he was trying to say but I’m just crazy. I am crazy for singing with a guitar, putting asaide his usuful advices. That’s who I am, unfortunately.
The only problem is that I’m not really good at doing it. I just like to do it. I would never improve but it’s still fun. That’s the thing.
Here is the results of my practices bellow. Check them out if you want. Not really good though lol
Stay with me/Sam Smith
Thinking out loud/Ed Sheeran

Siege. [おいどん in London]
Hello, I’m O-Kazunori. How are you all today?
I’m tired a bit. Because I got a new job and it is hard for me actually. I’m afraid I can’t tell you the detail of it. Long story short, what I have to do is to call to Japanese companies to take a survey of a marketing research and to report the result to our client. The term of this project is just for 1 month. Of course, we have to adapt our working time to Japanese one so my shift time is from midnight to 8am. Yeah it’s tough but I can get use to it.
The promblem is, if I had to say, all companies I have to call to are too big and all people on the list our client gave us have too high positions, like Vice President, Exective Director or something. It’s quite difficult to reach the targets. They never put me through to them at all. I can’t speak even to their secretary in the first place.
They always have obvious lies to me, like the person is in the middle of something, is not in right now or doesn’t even exist in thier company, all the time when I call them, sometime without even checking at all.
I’m feeling like I’m doing a siege. There is a huge cathle in front of me and I have to break the gate through and go to the place where the certain person I have to reach is at, in any way.
Japanese cathle is one of the most difficult place to take over.
I might said this before, most of Japanese have two different personality. One is for work, the other is their real one. When it comes to work, they are very serious and they are just acting their own role that is completely different from their real personality. When they are working, they can be blunter, colder, more distant and shorter than they are normally if it is their job. If I were one of them, I would do in the same way probably so I am like fighting against myself.
This survey is not only to Japan. It is to many countries. I’m working with many people of various nationalities. Although they are collecting a lot of results of the same survey from their own country, we, Japanese team, collect none of them so far.
Japanese people is the most unfriendly, the coldest and the ruthlessest race in the world when they are working, which is the oposite of general impression of Japanese.
If their job is to do war, they could destroy this world completely. Of course I’m saying this exaggerately but I think they could if they have to.
I am Japanese, too. I can feel my desire suppressed at the bottom of my heart. I don’t want Japanese people to fall down into darkside.

城攻め。 [おいどん in London]
おはようございます、こんにちわ、こんばんわ。
おかずのりです。
2018年一発目の更新は「城攻め」ということで、なにやらまたよくわからないこと書くんだろうと警戒している事と存じます。
その通りです。
2018年も相変わらず、そんな感じでいきたいと思います。
English ver. Click here.
さて、なぜタイトルが「城攻め」かというと、最近新しい仕事を始めました。
詳しいことは実は申し上げられないのですが、簡単に言うと、日本の企業に電話をかけてアンケートを取る仕事です。今回は1ヶ月ほどの短いプロジェクトです。
イギリスから日本に電話をかけるということで、日本の時間に合わせないといけませんので、深夜0時始まりの翌日午前8時終わりという時間帯での仕事です。これに関しては慣れればどーってことはありません。もう半年も経てば日本に帰らなければいけないので、時差克服のリハビリてなもんです。まぁあんまり時差ボケはない方なのですが。
問題は、今回日本の企業様向けのアンケートと言うことなんですが、対象者が皆お偉方ばかり。
それも名だたる大企業のトップにおられるような方々ばかりなので、まずそもそも本人に辿り着くことすらできない。
毎日毎日沢山たくさーんお電話差し上げているのですが、そのほぼ全てが“門前払い”です。
巨大な城を前にして、どのようにして本丸を目指せば良いのか、その攻略に日々思案を巡らせている、まさに城攻め。
なまくら一本、いや電話一本では、正面からの突破は難しいので、なんとか奇策をひねり出そうと必死です。ただ、雇用主やクライアントからも、調査の公平性を維持するために、あれはダメこれはダメと制限を設けられているのでそれとの兼ね合いが難しい。
私はネイティブスピーカーとして日本を担当していますが、同じ内容で世界各国のネイティブスピーカー達が自国の企業に対して同様な調査を行うのですが、なかでも日本人はきっととても手強いです。
海外の生活を直に体験したり、生きた英語に触れたいと言う名目でこちらに来たのですが、僕の場合、改めて「日本とは」「日本人とは」ということを考えさせられることが多いです。同じ日本人として、日本に住むものとして、客観的にそれらをみたり考えたりする機会は今まであまりなかったので、海外にて深く日本について考えるという意味では、すごく皮肉だなと感じております。
日本人てどうしてこうなの？ああなの？と質問されることもしばしば。
それにしても面白いのは、日本人の忠誠心、とは少し違うかもしれませんが、行く手を阻むためには本当に手段を選ばないと言いますか、そんなバカな、と思うような嘘も平気でつく。
逆の立場なら僕も同じような手を使うかもしれませんね。まるで自分自身を相手にしているようなそんな錯覚すら覚えます。
そういう意味ではある程度手の内がわかるのでなんとか攻略していきたいと思います。
ただ海外からの電話でのインタビューなので、物理的な強行突破は出来ません。
ベルセルクのガッツやバガボンドの武蔵などの万夫不当の豪傑や、ゼルダのリンク、メタルギアのスネークのような英雄が、単身敵地に乗り込んで雑兵をバッタバッタとなぎ倒していくような感じではなく、隣の隣のそのまた隣の山の高台から超高密度スナイパーライフルでの超超長距離狙撃といった感じなので、三日三晩飲まず食わずでもじっと耐え、じっくりと時間をかけて謀略を巡らせ囮を使ったり誘導したりして、相手が外に姿あらわす、その一瞬の隙を狙い撃つ。
その様な忍耐力が必要ではないだろうかと思います。
全く、妄想が激しすぎますよね。
分かってます。
とりあえず2018年も頑張ってます。
それにしても外国人の立場に立ってみると、日本人というのは本当に失礼極まりない人たちですね。
平気で嘘をついて、聞く耳持たず、門前払いとは。
こと「仕事」となると日本人というのは、融通がきかないというか、おそらく世界で一番冷酷冷淡で残忍な人種だと感じました。自分からも時折感じます。世界の人が抱いているであろう日本人の「良い人」というイメージとのギャップがすごい。
もし憲法第9条が無かったら、世界は日本によって滅ぼされているのではないでしょうか。もしくは返り討ちにあって日本という国自体が滅びてしまっているか、ひょっとしたらお隣の半島の北の方の様になってるのかもしれませんね。
兎にも角にも、同じ日本人として、抑圧され続けている本来の心、うちに秘めたる狂気や欲望が曲がった形で表出化しないことを切に願います。
いつもながら、大げさですね‘`,、(๑´∀｀๑) ‘`,、’`,、

Merry Christmas!!!! [おいどん in London]
On this Christmas day, there is something I realized.
We, Japanese, are not taught how to express our love. Parents, teachers, brothers, sisters, friends and the others, anyone haven’t taught it to me. You might say I could learn it by myself from my own experiences. Yeah, that is true.
However, the people in the UK show me it and I guess they also learned it from the others. I can see and learn how to express LOVE anywhere in London despite the fact we could only see it in TV dramas and films in my country. They are just a fiction for us. Actually, I haven’t seen my parents kissing and even hugging each other. As long as I remember, I haven’t been kissed and hugged from my parents. I have seen people in Japan kissing and hugging just few times for 32 years, I mean, since I was born. There are a lot of the way to express love, not only kissing and hugging, indeed, though. Well, how do I say, acutually I know how to do it now but it’s just a knowleadge like my English. I have hardly used it.
You know, the people in Europe have been apparently learning it from their parents or someone closer and been acutually using it almost everyday since they were born. They have much more experiences of it than Japanese do, at least, than I do.
I have realized that is what I have to learn in this country. I’m sure it will help me to sort all problems I have, and it does maybe all problems Japanese people have, too.
Love actually is all around.
It was a Chrismas day that I thought about love. I should thank the person who has reccomended a film to me. I really appreciait it.
Finally, please fogive me for being lazy not to write even Chrismas Cards and 年賀状. I am understanding this wouldn’t be the one instead of them, of course.
I just wanted to write something I felt.
To everyone with love.
Merry Christmas!!

I am learning a lot everyday. [おいどん in London]
There is a huge diffarence of the way of thinking between Asian people and European people. I knew that but it was just a knowledge. I’m experiencing it actually through having my life in London everyday.
I can not know something properly without having experience of it acutually.
I think it is almost the other way around.
Their idea is totally oposite to mine. When it comes to work, it is completely defferent.
I go to my working place for work. Not for chat. Not for making a good relationship.
The most important thing is the result and is how to make the best result.
To make the best result, if I need to make a good relationship, I would do. But it depends. Not this time. Not always. Sometimes it can disturb us.
I believe that you can work quicker and get a lot of work done if you don’t talk. Having a chat makes your work slower. And actually I did a lot of work in that way and gave good results.
Before I complain about something, I am doing something and giving great result.
Of cause, you would say you are working hard enough but, from Japanese people’s point of veiw, it is not enough. It is almost the same as doing noting.
Doing your best? Okay, so? Although it is a magic word, you know, your best is not the best. My best is not the best, either. If the result was bad, it was no use.
Helping each other? That is also a magic word. Aha? Do not use it as an excuse. When it comes to work, helping each other means to play your role. It doesn’t mean do one job by 2,3 people unnecessarily. Act your part as perfectly as possible for the person, who will take over your position, not to be annoyed
I have two personality. One's for work, the other is my actual one.
Most of Japanese is like me. Not all of them, though.
I am so sorry but that is who I am and who Japanese are.
We are really sorry we didn’t explain it at all but that’s who we are.
We can make good relationships outsaide work if we want. That’s enough for us.
Anyway, work time is for work. It’s not private time. Please work during your working time before you have a chat.
I don’t care whatever you do in your private time and your break time.
But do not worry, it is not your falt. It is just because of the difference of the culture.
If you want to work in Japan or with Japanese people, you have to keep it in your mind.
If you never ever work in Japan or with Japanese people, you don’t need to care about it I said above. Just fuck it.
I can not know something properly without having experience of it acutually.
I think it is almost the other way around.
Their idea is totally oposite to mine. When it comes to work, it is completely defferent.
I go to my working place for work. Not for chat. Not for making a good relationship.
The most important thing is the result and is how to make the best result.
To make the best result, if I need to make a good relationship, I would do. But it depends. Not this time. Not always. Sometimes it can disturb us.
I believe that you can work quicker and get a lot of work done if you don’t talk. Having a chat makes your work slower. And actually I did a lot of work in that way and gave good results.
