Shohei Juku Aikido Canada Shohei Juku Aikido Canada Monthly Newsletter March, 2011. Number 75 “Over the Rainbow” Spring, March, hopeful Spring, joyful days... We had to practice saying these words around the time of the graduation ceremony in March. The Grade 5 class gave a graduation speech to Grade 6 and Grade 6 did the same to Grade 5 and the teachers. Around now I usually look back at all my memories about past graduation ceremonies. I think the ceremony does leave long lasting impressions on everyone's hearts. The other day I watched the 83rd Academy Awards on TV. This award was established in 1927 to promote the art of movie making in America. When I was a student I used to go watch foreign films like American movies. I preferred going alone. That way if I saw sad scenes, I could cry hard without worrying about anybody else. But there were no such scenes in Bruce Lee movies. In fact I was so excited that I danced around a lot. It was hard to copy Bruce Lee but his moves were so cool that it was worth trying. I skipped school and stayed at the movie theatre all day long with my lunch box. I was definitely young then! That much I was into Bruce Lee but unfortunately he never received an Academy Award. I believe he didn't even get nominated. When people accept an Academy Award, they thank their staff and cast members, praise and recognize their efforts but apparently they do not receive any prize money. The winners only receive a statue called “Oscar”. With no monetary rewards I think everyone will truly enjoy watching it. I love watching the acceptance speeches. Some winners are too excited that they go over the time limit and make everyone else nervous, or some would use slang in their speech only to apologize afterwords. Some even forget to say what they wanted to say and others give political criticisms in their speech. They are all different and that's why it's interesting to watch. But the common theme is their appreciation towards people that supported them like their parents, wives, husbands, daughters and sons. They call their loved ones' names and say “thank you”. They look so real and sincere that it always touches my heart to see that. Although these actors and actresses usually look so beautiful and unreal this is the moment they go back to being normal and being themselves. This year the show ended with everyone, including the Children's choir, singing “Over the rainbow”. This song never gets old; it has a beautiful melody. Somewhere over the rainbow 虹の向こうのどこか Way up high 空高く There's a land that I heard of 子守唄で聞いたことがある once in a lullaby 国がある Somewhere over the rainbow 虹の向こうのどこか Skies are blue 空は青く And the dreams that you dare to dream 信じた夢は全て現実のものとなる Really do come true Somewhere over the rainbow 虹の向こうのどこかに Bluebirds fly 青い鳥は飛ぶ Birds fly over the rainbow Why then, Oh, Why can't I 虹を超える鳥たち 僕も飛んでいくよ I wonder what's out there for us? Shall we go look together? Tamami Nakashimada Kaichikujou Like a flower if I could be more charming Like a bamboo if I could be more honest with myself... (an excerpt from the calendar made by Suganuma Sensei) "虹のかなたに" (Over the rainbow) 春、三月、希望の春、喜びの良き日、喜びの日。。。。３月になると、よくこの卒業式の呼びかけの練習を させられていました。５年生は先輩の６年生に、６年生は、諸先生並びに、後輩の５年生に言葉を送り、卒 業して行きました。３月になると、卒業式の思い出が懐かしく思い出されます。やっぱり、何とか"式"とい うのは後々まで記憶に残るものなのですね。 先日、テレビで"第８３回、アカデミー賞"を見ました。この賞はアメリカ映画の発展を目的に、１９２７年 に始められたそうです。私も学生の頃は洋画、アメリカ映画をよく見に行っていました。一人で行くのが好 きでした。一人だと悲しい場面では遠慮せずに、涙をぼろぼろ流し、ワンワン泣けるからでした。でもブ ルースリーの映画はそれは無かったのですが、一人身体が踊っていました。ブルースリーのまねは難しかっ たのですが、格好が良かったので、まねのし甲斐がありました。学校をサボり、お弁当を持って映画館に一 日中入っていた頃、あれも若さ！だったんですね。。。それくらい、夢中になったブルースリー、残念なが ら彼はアカデミー賞は逃しました。ノミネートも無かったのでは？ そのアカデミー賞、キャストや、ス タッフの皆さんを表彰し、その労と成果を讃えますが、賞金は一切付与されないという事です。受賞者に は"オスカー” と呼ばれる像を送られるのみ。金銭が絡んでいない分、いつまでも純粋に楽しめる大会である のだと思います。受賞された方々が、夫々スピーチをされますが、そのスピーチを聞くのも私は好きです。 興奮して、予定の時間を超えてしまい、周りのスタッフをはらはらさせてしまったり、ついつい汚い言葉 (スラング)が出てしまい、後で誤ったり、興奮してしまって、自分が何を言っているのか分らなくなった俳 優さんが出たり、スピーチの内容が政治批判めいていたりと、本当にさまざまで、そこが面白いなと思いま す。でも殆どの受賞者の皆さんに共通するのは、自分を支えてくれた、たくさんの人たち、両親、妻、夫、 娘、息子などの名前を挙げながら、"有難う"の感謝の言葉を言われることです。それが実に自然で、胸が熱 くなってしまいます。華やかに見える俳優さんたちが自分に戻った瞬間のようだなあー思います。今年のア カデミー賞の最後は、子供たちが混じり、” 虹のかなたに"を合唱しました。いつ聞いても良いメロディーで す。 Somewhere over the rainbow 虹の向こうのどこか Way up high 空高く There's a land that I heard of 子守唄で聞いたことがある once in a lullaby 国がある Somewhere over the rainbow 虹の向こうのどこか Skies are blue 空は青く And the dreams that you dare to dream Really do come true 信じた夢は全て現実のものとなる Somewhere over the rainbow 虹の向こうのどこかに Bluebirds fly 青い鳥は飛ぶ Birds fly over the rainbow Why then, Oh, Why can't I 虹を超える鳥たち 僕も飛んでいくよ 私たちの虹の向こうは、さてさて何があるのでしょう？ 一緒に探してみませんか？ 中嶋田 玉美 花意竹情 －かいちくじょうー 花のように 人を惹きつける魅力と 竹のような 素直な心を持てたら。。。。。 (菅沼師範ご作成、カレンダーより抜粋） Shohei Juku Dayori (March 2011) 祥平塾だより（平成 23 年 3 月） Harima Shoheijuku 播磨祥平塾 The 18th Harima Shoheijuku (Head Instructor Mr. 二月十二日（土）高砂市体育館にて第十八回播 Horiuchi) seminar and test took place at Takasago 磨祥平塾（代表堀内利宏氏）の講習会と審査が City Gymnasium on Saturday February 12th. 行われました。当日は関西各地区の道場と広 Despite the cold weather nearly one hundred 島、岡山、東京からも参加者があり百名近い人 members from various dojos in Kansai area, 達が厳しい寒さの中汗を流しました。なお今年 Hiroshima, Okayama and Tokyo showed up for this は播磨祥平塾を開設して十周年を迎えました。 event.

  • FILM FESTIVAL 22Nd - 29Th November 2012
    UNDER THE AUSPICES OF THE EMBASSY OF THE REPUBLIC OF SERBIA IN PRETORIA SERBIAN ARTS AND CULTURE SOCIETY AFRICA SERBIAN FILM FESTIVAL 22nd - 29th November 2012 NU METRO, MONTECASINO An author’s perspective of the world Film, as a sublimation of all arts, is a true medium, a universal vehicle with which the broader public is presented with a world view, as seen by the eye of the fi lmmaker. Nowadays, due to the global economic crisis, which is ironically producing technological and all sorts of other develop- ments, an increasing number of people are pushed to the margins of average standards of living, and fi lmmakers are given the chance to bring under their ‘protection’ millions of disillusioned people with their fi lmmaking capabilities. Art, throughout its history, has always praised but has also been heavily critical of its subject. Film is not just that. Film is that and so much more. Film is life itself and beyond life. Film is everything many of us dream about but never dare to say out loud. That is why people love fi lms. That is why it is eternal. It tears down boundaries and brings together cul- tures. It awakens curiosity and builds bridges from one far away coast to another. Film is a ‘great lie’ but an even greater truth. Yugoslavian, and today the Serbian fi lm industry has always been ‘in trend’. It might sound harsh but, unfortunately, this region has always provided ample ‘material’ for fi lms. Under our Balkan clouds there has been an ongoing battle about which people are older, which came and settled fi rst, who started it and who will be fi rst to leave and such battles have been and continue to be an inspiration to fi lm producers.
