Since the declaration of the state of emergency, HOUYHNHNM's editorial office has also been working hard in its daily operations under the recommendation of telework. . However, it is true that we have more free time than when we are in the office. So, this time, we would like to introduce what the HOUYHNHNM editorial staff is addicted to while teleworking. Each editorial staff member will describe what they are doing at home secretly during working hours, which is difficult to do when they are in the office and cannot be seen from the Zoom monitor.

Anime "Don't Mess with the Video Lab! in one day!
The best advantage of teleworking is still being able to view Twitter without any hesitation, yes? One day, I was scrolling along fine.Articles like thisFound in. The opening of the anime "Don't Mess with the Video Lab!" is written in spurting brushstrokes, and there are a whopping three parts to it.
This article was written by Hiromichi Hosoma, a human behaviorist. He is a bright and articulate analyst of the arts in general, so when I am looking for a good movie or exhibition, I visit his Twitter feed. If it is a film that Mr. Hosoma, whom I trust so much, gets into, I immediately joined FOD and started watching it. I started watching it.
My impression of the film is nothing short of amazing. The story is structured in such a way that the real world where the main characters of the animation production department spend their time and the imaginary world of the animations they create are intertwined! In addition to the wonderful separation of the two worlds, the voice actors are also wonderful. Mr. Asakusa is alive on the screen, right in front of your eyes! (Oh, Sari Ito...)
Of course, the opening, which Mr. Hosoma analyzed so passionately, is irresistible. I don't remember pressing the "skip" button. Once again, I saluted the Japanese animation industry.
Bottom line, Twitter is still the best.

Trip to the world of sound.
I want to go on a trip. But for now, I am holding back and spending my days reducing my reading pile. Proust said, "The true discovery of travel lies not in seeing new landscapes, but in having new eyes." Reading masterpieces is also a journey and a way of having new eyes, as I have realized recently. The novel "Honeybee and Thunder" by Riku Onda made me realize this.
It is a masterpiece that will last for generations to come, even without the controversy, although the fact that it won both the Naoki Award and the Honya Taisho Award tends to precede it. Before and after reading this work, the way I listen to classical music will change completely. Or rather, I am more interested in classical music.
To briefly recap the story, it is a tale of four geniuses from different backgrounds and musical tastes who struggle against the competition and themselves at the International Piano Competition, a prestigious gateway to success for young pianists.
Although there is no sound coming from a book made of paper, the overwhelming strokes of the brush and the richness of the expression make you feel as if you can hear a grain of sound from each letter. In a mere 1,000 pages, you will travel to and fro between various worlds: nature spreads out before your eyes, the smell of the wind grazes your nose, and you are suddenly thrown into an eternal outer space. It is not a round-the-world trip.
Not only does it show us the greatness of classical music created long ago, which has been handed down to future generations and still fascinates people despite the development of technology, changing values, and various threats, but it also takes us out of our cramped homes and into the colorful world of music. I am glad to have come across this book, and I think it is one that you will feel that way.

Listening to TBS Radio "Chiki Ogigami Session-22" retrospectively.
A few days ago, I wrote about the current disastrous state of the medical field.This articleI was shocked when I saw this. It seems that the front line of medical care is much more difficult than I imagined. I hope that sufficient support will be extended to the medical front as soon as possible.
Well, here's the main issue. I started teleworking about three weeks ago. I've been teleworking since about three weeks ago, and my opportunities to view Twitter have skyrocketed. My friends and I are in a kind of "how to know the latest news about Corona" competition, so I'm trying hard to collect information. At work, I couldn't do this because people would walk by behind my desk, but since I telework, I always have Twitter open on my desktop and check it constantly.
However, there is a lot of useful information, but it is also full of personal feelings along with it, which is somewhat heavy these days. So I have started radio. The program is "Chiki Ogigami Session-22" on TBS Radio.
It is a news information program, but Mr. Ogigami's voice is just mellow. It gently nudges my eardrums. So even when I am working, I don't mind it, in a good way. His remarks are not intrusive, and the information he sends out is often convincing because it is well-sourced. Furthermore, by going back to past episodes, I can link to various things and naturally notice strange social structures. There are not many programs on terrestrial TV that are this informative. Highly recommended.

Maintenance of beloved items.
With the recent trend of teleworking and refraining from unnecessary trips out of the house, I have been spending more time at home. I decided that this would be a good time to take a look at the things I had neglected in my busy life, so I went around my house, thinking about it in a hazy way. As a result, I ended up taking care of my leather goods, which I had been putting off for so long.
Since I tend to wear sneakers on a regular basis, I decide that the subject will be belts and purses. I immediately take out the "Mustang Paste" from my toolbox.
By the way, "Mustang Paste" is like a panacea for horses, cows, pigs, goats, boots, leather jackets, wallets, and everything in between. Since it is made from ingredients originally used in skin care creams, it is also gentle on the fingers used for maintenance.
If you want, it is super easy to use. Just like a nourishing cream or moisturizing oil, first remove dust and debris, then apply it to the entire leather, let it penetrate all over, wipe off excess oil with a dry cloth, and hang it to dry in the shade in a well-ventilated place.
A belt and wallet that had accumulated damage due to daily busyness. We thought about the traces of daily use, and carefully maintained them. In fact, this was not only about taking care of my beloved items, but it also gave me a chance to reconsider how I interact with things, and more importantly, how I live my life.

This is "What our editorial staff secretly does while teleworking. Part 1". The list is surprisingly cultural, ranging from anime, novels, radio, and maintenance, but all of them are things you can do now that you have more time to spare. We hope readers will find it useful as a reference for taking a break during telework. The second part will be published soon. Stay tuned!
