I know the importance of choices. I will make a lot of effort in exploring and creating options. As with the “options” in the financial world, long-lived options (=options) are more valuable. Similarr to financial options, the higher the uncertainty, the higher the value.
For generations who live a long life and face great uncertainity, having options can have immeasurable value. So, I delayed marriage, delayed making children, and delayed buying homes and cars. I postoponed the decison to narrow the choice.
“I chose music.”

Yasuharu Nagura – music & coding
The process of producing music is basically the process of composition → arrangement → recording → track down. Once you have recorded the performance of each part on the MTR（An equipment called a multitrack recorder.), you have to work down the track. Ordinary, CD is 2 tracks of left and right stereo like cassette tape. For this reason, it is necessary to reduce the number of tracks and combine them into two tracks and dubbing to two-track media. This is called track down. You will not need a mixer for track down. There are various specialized books on how to track down, so let’s refer to them.
The issue of the work produced by AI is the issue of copyright. The copyright law defines a work as “creative expression of thought or emotion”. At the stage of 2017, the government’s Intellectual Property Strategy Headquarters concluded that “the work produced by AI will not be written.” However, I concluded that AI can not be a human creation. But we concluded that AI is not a human creation. However, AI is a human creation, and sometimes AI programs can be patented to produce art. I think that this problem will surface around 2020.
Another important role for modern musicians such as professional musicians and conductors is to preserve the tradition of music theory and to convey it to future generations. It is not good enough to change the music theory established by the great geniuses of the past without permission, just because they are talented. The fact that traditional music theory is not properly inherited is a great loss for humanity.
It would be easy to understand if you imagine the world of traditional performing arts in Japan such as Noh, Kyogen, and Kabuki. Modern Noh artists and Kabuki actors first learn about the “form” that has been passed down for generations. After mastering the form perfectly, you put your own interpretation and expression on the stage. The form that has been inherited is an acting theory that has been refined through the research and practice of the generations of actors, and each movement has a profound meaning. Without studying the type of tradition at all, it would be awkward to get me to do it myself, saying, “This is a new Kabuki that I think.” It is their main business to protect and communicate the type that has been passed down from the old days, and creating a selfish style is just “play”. People involved in traditional arts must inherit such traditional culture. It’s a museum-like job, but that’s the mission.
Today’s musicians should play classical music that has made music theory exactly, in order to pass it on to future generations.

What’s Electronic Press Kit?
An electronic press kit (EPK) is a press kit equivalent in electronic form. An EPK usually takes the form of a website or e-mail, though they are also known to exist in CD and DVD form.
Many companies make their electronic press kits available via the corporate website, where kits are offered in PDF format. An electronic press kit can be provided in any of the following formats:
The contents of an EPK media kit are similar to other types of media kit, but are likely to include a range of audio-visual material. Decisions about what to include in the EPK media kit will depend on the industry and target audience. As a general guide, an EPK in the music industry might contain the following:

3M Earplugs Stringed E-A-R Push Ins
Ready-made earplugs are not so expensive, so they are good for musicians to use as a starting point to protect their ears. For musicians, the most common type is the one that reduces the sound by 20 dB and has a cord around the neck. At the time of writing this blog, the earplugs with strings I purchased cost about 3 dollers.
New wave is a genre of rock music popular in the late 1970s and the 1980s with ties to mid-1970s punk rock. New wave moved away from blues and rock and roll sounds to create rock music (early new wave) or pop music (later) that incorporated disco, mod, and electronic music. Initially new wave was similar to punk rock, before becoming a distinct genre. It subsequently engendered subgenres and fusions, including synth-pop.
New-age music is a genre of music intended to create artistic inspiration, relaxation, and optimism. It is used by listeners for yoga, massage, meditation, reading as a method of stress management to bring about a state of ecstasy rather than trance, or to create a peaceful atmosphere in their home or other environments, and is associated with environmentalism and New Age spirituality. New-age music includes both acoustic forms, featuring instruments such as flutes, piano, acoustic guitar and a wide variety of non-Western acoustic instruments, and electronic forms, frequently relying on sustained synth pads or long sequencer-based runs. Vocal arrangements were initially rare in the genre, but as it has evolved vocals have become more common, especially those featuring Native American-, Sanskrit-, or Tibetan-influenced chants, or lyrics based on mythology such as Celtic legends.
New music is one of the genres of Japanese popular music that became popular from the 1970’s to the 1980’s. In composing aspect, we added elements such as rock to the folk song, and in the lyrics side it was a new music that excluded the political and lifestyle feeling that was characteristic of the previous folk songs. However, there are deviations in definitions, etc.
Crossover is a musical term that refers to a style that fuses musicality by overcoming genres of genres. It is a type of performance style of jazz that incorporates electric musical instruments and electronic musical instruments popular in the early 1970’s. From the late 1960s, it is a new style of music that incorporates electric instruments and rock style rendition style. Jazz rock and electric jazz were born, and some musicians such as Miles Davies and others tried to expand the possibilities of the style of performance. And, with the advent of electronic musical instruments such as synthesizers, performance expressions such as tone color became rich. In addition to jazz performance as a work, it also influenced mutual influence through pop music and rock. From the studio musicians in New York and Los Angeles, “crossover” music that overcomes the genre’s fence. It has been created in a more mixed form.
