that day i was listening to fly to the sky's goodbye and i was thinking: it is a song that, if you are caught off guard, you just might cry listening to it. for example, when you are feeling the lowest of low. then i thought: there are quite a few korean songs like this. then i was thinking: but i cant think of any jap ones.
silly me. kobukuro's sakura and koko ni shika saka nai hana, remioromen's konayuki. such songs do exist. konayuki is turning out to be a gem. the kind of melancholic rock. like symphonie, i for you. anyway, i watched the pv, which was quite disappointing. the girl was not good looking AT ALL. since it was used in the drama 1 liter no namida, they should have included scenes from it, or better still, get erika sawajiri to act in the pv instead. my point is, erika sawajiri SHOULD have been inside.
i found brilliant orange: the neurotic genius of dutch football. it's a very interesting book seeking to explain dutch football and the philosophy behind it. i read a biography on cryuff before, which gave me alot of insights into the dutch philosophy. this book sort of reinforces the previous ideas garnered.
cryuff's words: when my career ends, i cannot go to the baker and say, i'm johan cryuff, give me some bread."
actually, while i was reading about the development of the concept of total football, i was thinking: maybe sometimes in life, we see a great idea come up. but what if the official story of how it developed wasnt totally true, in that it wasnt as fantastic as it was made out to be? more specifically, what if total football developed by chance? it brings to mind what hayek said: when conditions are right, highly complex social orders will emerge on their own. some players were saying that michels had planned for this system all along; he was always preparing for the implementation of this system by scouring for the players etc. some attributed total football to the players themselves. you can say that michels put the whole debate into perspective by saying it was a collaboration. whichever way, if michels had it planned, he was a tactical genius. but i was thinking: what if it somehow just developed? the conditions were right. what if one day, Ajax just realised they were playing this thing people will term as total football?
i am not trying to discredit ajax or michels; i would never dream of doing that. but i was just thinking about the possibility that some great ideas in this world, developed by chance. and maybe the story behind them, werent quite as dramatic as their creators would want us believe.
back to holland. i suppose you can say they showed the world the concept of space. not tt we werent aware of it, but just not consciously aware of it. you can say that they pointed it out on a large scale. i like dutch football because i like their philosophy. it is so thinking, yet so instinctive because the key to it was to make everything come naturally. class combined with brains. it was the combination of a system with individual creativity. this and yet not this. thats the dutch system. it is an abstract art form in itself.
