  1. 鶴田 錦史 – 壇の浦 (Kinshi Tsuruta – Dan no Ura)

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4W9dhKgks0k

    Ich habe dieses Lied durch den Film Kwaidan entdeckt, der auf einer von Lafcadio Hearn transkribierten Kurzgeschichte basiert. Ich kannte das epische Heikemonogatari. Wie sehr der Wert dieser Krieger, die dem flüchtigen Tod nahe waren, meine flüchtige Sicht auf die illusorische Welt prägte. Und manchmal betrachte ich den Regen auf der Wasseroberfläche, jede einzelne Welle, wie eine Vision der anderen, die wir einmal waren. Dann kehrt die Welle flach und gleichmäßig zurück und wartet darauf, eine weitere unmögliche Welle zu empfangen. – @manura02 – Instrument: Satsuma-Biwa.

  2. Strange As Angels, Strange As Angels, 2021 on Kwaidan

    Billed as “Strange as Angels” the hype sticker calls this “Marc Collin (Nouvelle Vague) presents Chrystabell Sings The Cure.”

    Marc Collin and Olivier Libaux were the masterminds behind Nouvelle Vague, which released bossa nova covers of new wave songs, playing off multiple meanings of Nouvelle Vague. (Nouvelle Vague means “new wave” in French, and Bossa Nova means “new wave” in Portugese).

    Chrystabell has put out a half-dozen records herself as a singer, including work with David Lynch – here delivers Cure covers in the style of Nouvelle Vague.

  3. I often saw this book in stores and ignored it because I wrongly assumed that it was just another rehash of Kwaidan. It is actually a very good collection of Hearn's ghostly tales culled from his various books.

  4. The result of an all-stretch-goals-reached Kickstarter, HUNGRY GHOSTS revisits the work of Lafcadio Hearn, a Victorian-era writer who, in his book KWAIDAN: STORIES AND STUDIES OF STRANGE THINGS (the most famous of his collections of Japanese legends and ghost stories), told a story of Taketsura, a samurai who renounced his old life and became a wandering priest.

  5. A fascinating programme about Lafcadio Hearn's love of insects and the Japanese vocabulary related to them. My family and I were lucky enough to guided around the wonderful "The Poetry of Insects" exhibition at the Lafcadio Memorial Museum in Matsue by Bon Koizumi, great-grandson of Lafcadio Hearn, and his wife Shoko when we visited Matsue last year.
