Do you have a way to release stress?
I am going to introduce the way I release my stress.
1. Listening to music
First of all, make an environment to listen to music. At night, turn off
the light in the room and shut down the information from eyes so that you
can concentrate to the sound of the music (I think). It is a fact that the
music sounds better in the dark than in the light.
This is my favorite recently.
"Rain Man's Story" By Yoshichika Tarue
He is not famous, but he is a good pianist. The music is like a movie sound
truck and it has a really good atmosphere.
When you listen to music, don't half-listen as a background music. You have
to be in the musical word and forget about your daily life. If you pay
attention, you can hear phrases and instruments in the background which you
don't notice usually, and it is quite amusing.
2. Play an instrument
This is it!
Recently I have new friends.
1959 Reissue, Les Paul by Gibson, Historic collection.
Also Fender Blues Jr., Tube amp, on the right.
This is a reissue version of 1959 Les Paul. The price of the original
vintage costs 20,000,000 to 30,000,000 yen. Even though this is Reissue,
playing this guitar makes me so happy. No, just looking makes me feel
excited.
I want to remind you that I did not decide to buy this guitar by the
influence of "KEION!" (Japanese TV animation).
Now about the amp...
I heard that the tube amp makes clear your guitar touch so I changed my amp to a tube amp from a transistor amp.
My impression to the sound is...
'"Great acoustic pressure!!"
Maybe the amp that I had was too cheap?
3. Ride a motorcycle
Riding a motorcycle is different from driving a car. You can smell trees
and greens and feel the freedom.
The throb from the engine, speeding... it is great!
Because it is the rainy season now, I cannot enjoy the cruise as much as I
want. I hope to say good-bye to the rainy season soon and say hello to
summer, no... to autumn!
Everybody, let's release stress!
