Conditioned responses
Two days ago I had to pull an all-nighter for work while being already dead the whole day because of the semi-all-nighter the night before. So I put the smap discography on random play to keep me awake. At some point Original Smile started playing and I suddenly found myself grinning and singing along and half-dancing without even being aware of it. When I noticed it I found it really funny. It's like I have been conditioned to "have fun" when listening to this song no matter which state I was in. I think I would have died of stress last week if I didn't have smap songs to keep me cheerful.
Shingo
I watched the Stranger PR yesterday and I found very interesting the moment when Shingo said "I've always been a child...What?". He seemed surprised himself of what he said. It's like he unconsciously admitted the existence of that eternal child in him.
A (not really) new ship
What's happening between Nakai and Busaiku lately? Senga crying because he wanted to be close to Nakai, and Miyata sleeping in his futon XD. A long time ago, the smapxkisumai collaborations looked like a simple barter, but now I'm really glad Nakai has Busaiku (and Kitayama) around him.
