NHK『まいにち中国語』の前期分120講座が明日で終わる。NHKの語学講座はそれこそ中学生の頃から時々聴いていたけれど、すべての講座を毎日聴き通したのは今回が初めて。とはいえ、テキストを読み込んでしっかり文字を追わないと、力がついた気がしない。 勉強を始めた理由は、ひとえにこのウェブサイトの一部だけでも中国語版のページを作りたいから。AIに自動翻訳してもらってもできるけれど、それだと自分が面白くないからね。

現在、30曲近くあるデモ曲を一つ一つ洗練させながら絞り込んでいる。アルバム全体のバランスや曲ごとの個性も考慮するが、一番大事にしているのは「自分自身がそのまま作り進めたいか、ワクワクできるか」。自分が面白いと思えないものに、情熱を注ぎ続けることはできない。ふと、染色芸術家・福本繁樹さんの動画を見返すことがある。お気に入りは冒頭3分間のトークで、彼はそこで「面白い」という言葉を10回も口にしているのだ。

ネット上で更新されているブログやジャーナルの中で、僕が唯一定期的に立ち寄るウェブサイトが『The Marginalian』だ。主宰者であるマリア・ポポーヴァ(ブルガリア出身)の書く知的な文章は、ネイティブでも難解だと言われていて、僕の中では故・松岡正剛さんの『千夜千冊』と重なる部分がある。それはさておき、「誠実に書く」というテーマに絞られたこのインタビュー自体がとても誠実な内容で、創作に関わる人は一聴の価値があると思う。
