Anime and reality - an example with LMF

As an otakaian  (岡田(斗司夫)系) otaku, not a moe moe (萌え系) otaku, let me show the liberal way as to how anime is related to reality:

Liberal Studies Problem Set: Hip Hop Culture (case: LMF)

WARNING

Hong Kong Advanced Supplementary Level Examination, Chinese Culture and Language, Paper II, Cultural Problems, have assessed HKAL candidates of aspects of fine art, the question of which is quoted as below:

Quote:

二.閱讀以下兩段文字,然後回答所附問題: 「中國人愛以圓融涵攝的胸襟欣賞天地萬物相關相通、和諧洽協之處,可見『合』是中國文化的一大特色。」 　(甲)上述的引文化特色,可從傳統宗教精神(4分)與藝術精神(6分)中哪些特點得到印證? 「藝術是本能的宣洩，真實的反映。讓發自內心的情緒感受流露出來,就是真;不加矯飾,把真的一面展示,就是美。率真是藝術的最高境界。若把真的一面隱藏,不敢實實在在、赤裸裸地表露,而美其名曰委婉含蓄,要人意會心領,那就是虛偽,虛偽就不美。藝術是超然的,有其獨立存在的價值,不應受世俗標準所規限。譬如以『粗口歌』發洩抑鬱不滿,正是歌者的真情流露,只有食古不化的人,才會否定這種創作的藝術性。」 　(乙) 　　（1）試從藝術的作用、表達手法和境界三個角度,將上文作者的觀點,與韋政通在〈中國文化概論﹒藝術〉一文的觀點加以比較。(6分) 　　（2）評論文中以下兩個觀點:(4分) 　　　(i)「藝術是本能的宣洩,真實的反映。」 　　　(ii)粗口歌有其藝術性。

RESPECT(尊敬) ~可否撫心自問 我愿能 延續你的步韻 我愿能 長存著你的聲音 我愿能 你又更加接近 Mc Yan: 雖然只係一小撮人 一小隊船 唔凈止係為咗一小個島 一小啖氣 而係一D曆史事實我哋唔可以唔知唔可以忘記 冇可能罷買日本貨 但係可以唔扮假日本人 有冇可能 几時日几日先至有我哋團結嘅力量 完全靠自己做到國富民強 憑保釣嚟提醒我哋要自強 Wah: 究竟我地須要唔須要真英雄 抑或每個英雄背后充滿眼淚和傷痛 八仙岭大火 燃燒喺我記憶里面 舍身成仁嘅你 親手將同學由煉獄度一個一個一個攀返出嚟 喺香港呢個冷漠自私無情地 你哋嘅犧牲 就好似一記耳光 人可以活得好渺小 渺小可以發光芒 向為自由而犧牲嘅人講一句 Lesson pleas~ 向為喺災難而捐軀嘅人講一句 Lesson please~ 不管論佢哋係有名字定係冇名字 佢哋做過嘅每一件事 無刻都提醒我哋去尋找人生嘅意義 喺呢個接近七百萬人嘅城市 就由呢一班無名英雄開始 等我哋大家一齊去紀念反思反思再反思 由呢一班無名英雄開始 等我哋大家一齊去紀念反思反思再反思 Kit: 一個好多人尊敬嘅電影人 佢將一生奉獻咗俾佢信仰嘅神 佢嘅生存為咗一個使命 將福音帶俾佢身邊所有嘅生命 從一而終嘅婚姻感情 唔似宜家D人隨便離婚攪埋D一夜情 成立藝人之家關怀朋友空虛心靈 佢嘅離開佢嘅愛你有冇去見証 Phat: 係唔係又可以趁住呢個机會去 去怀念一個 你同我都好熱熟悉嘅一個 偶像 佢寫嘅歌 唔單單止影響我 仲有千千萬個唔知搖滾係乜嘢嘅初哥 雖然曾經有人話過 你背叛咗搖滾音樂精神 為名為利走去埋沒自己 其實你嘅孤獨 有邊個會知又有邊個會去理 向為熱愛生命而堅持到最后嘅人講一句 Lesson pleas~ 向為理想而付出一切嘅佢講一句 lesson please~

Study Question: 1. Why LMF praise the courageous saver in 八仙岭大火? What spirit do they want to promote? And what concept are derived by they then? (Hont: Note the hypocrisy of current showbiz market in Hong Kong) 2. Irrespection of Hip Hop Culture is very rampany, especially for hegemonic authorities. This happens to the Chinese Translation of Japanese Anime Songs, such as Digimon as a prime exmple. Why should we respect Hip Hop Culture? (Hint: What is the useful aspects of Hip Pop in alternative education utilizing subcultural elements such as Graffiti?) 3. Henceforth, The composer of LMF lyrics, who appears in CUHK Popular Culture Lecture in 2006/4, have manifest his attitude towards Copyright Problem. HE said that Composing Song and Selling Song are separate thing, so illegal downloading of songs doesn't matter the spirit of composition much, and the royalty of composing song for each CD is $0.1. Only. So  who is really irrespectful to music as a indivisible part of Popular Culture? (Hint: Conside the relationship between the audience and the Hip Pop production participators.)

Shut upppppppppp .....

Study Question: 1. In this song, LMF promotes the morals of learning and criticize the rampant plagiarization, copying and following-suit of ideas, especially towards the current showbiz Hit Song production and teen girls who seeks hegemony from acceptances. Is such act feasible and realistic? (Hint: Is the current copycat condition improves or worsens?) 2. The method of learning by Bruce Lee (i.e. writing martial art notes) resembles otakaian otakus. Is such method worth praising or disapproving? (Hint: Otakus have their own way of reading comprehension prespective and styles literally while Bruce Lee build up his own frontier of martial art.) 3.  In watching movies, many just leave when it comes to the screening of CAST list. Some suggested that the CAST should also be appreciated as they contribute most of the part behind every show. What is the origin for that? (Hint: Consider an example - Anime Production, where the dubber play the screening part while the song composer hard-earn inspirations without counting the time, energy and spirit depreciated.) 4. Bruce Lee have said "Learning is not enough, we must apply.". So how does LMF apply the spirit of Hip Pop? (Hint: LMF make the audience realise the morals of subculture by their own critical analysis.)

This pic demonstrates the otakaian otakus' (like my) behaviour - they have their own way of being, such as coinage of words to fulfill the context (eg: toitoise means stoic inspectors as well as a pun; aikolise to means hentaicity-dominant genders). Some, if acquire knowledges sociology as well, may also be able to summarize ideologies into several idiograms resembling Enneagram (九型人格). To me, girls are classified as common, transitional, complex and partial according to what otakus should have - strong observation ability. With the siprit of study and investigation, otakaians otakus are being able to evolve like LMF (Hip-Hip Otakus). Moe otakus count the beauty of  female characters much but otakaian ones won't: they know their own limits, such as oral capacity when compared to reality girls. Anime characters, to somewhat extent, are too ideal, especially for lolitas.
