8月上旬に木星と金星が接近するというニュースを見ていたところ、『ZWO Astronomy Photographer of the Year 2025』という記事に出会った。ZWOとは、天体望遠鏡などを製造している中国のメーカーで、最近では『See Star』という画期的な商品で注目を集めている。自分にとって音楽は聴くよりも作る方がより楽しいけど、天体写真はハードルが高すぎて、撮るよりも鑑賞する方が断然面白い。

僕が小学校で鑑賞した映画と言えば、昔話のアニメや交通安全の映画くらいしか記憶にない。しかし、80年代に小学校に通った多くの人々は、この『砂漠の冒険』という映画を見せられたらしい。早回しで確認してみたが、少年が載った飛行機が墜落し、一人砂漠を彷徨うというサバイバル映画としてはかなり過酷な内容だった。ダチョウの卵を焼いて食べ、ブッシュマンに石を投げられながらも生き抜く主人公がタフすぎる…。文部省もどえらい映画を選んだものだ。

NPR(公共放送)系のラジオ局では、ブラジルや日本などアメリカ以外のアーティストの曲も選曲されることがある。先日、故Orlandivoの『Onde Anda O Meu Amor』を、数十年ぶりに聴いた。学生の頃よく聴いていたこのCDアルバム、音源にレコード針の音が入っていて、海賊版っぽかったのを覚えている。彼は60年代初期に『日本のサンバ』という可愛らしい曲を発表しているが、和風を目指しながらもフレーズがモロに中国風だった点はご愛嬌。
