  • I found a study that may be helpful.The project is called the Chapel Hill Expert Survey, which is being conducted by Gary Marks of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and others, and asks political experts in each country to evaluate the policy positions of major political parties in EU member states.

    This survey interprets the multidimensional political conflict as stated in the question, and in the latest survey (Version 2025.1), it is measured by the following conflict terms:

    Most Important Issue Options 1 = Anti-elite rhetoric 2 = Civil liberties 3 = Corruption 4 = Decentralization 5 = Deregulation 6 = Environment 7 = Ethnic minorities 8 = EU integration 9 = Immigration 10 = International security 11 = Multiculturalism 12 = Nationalism 13 = Public services vs taxes 14 = Redistribution 15 = Religious principles 16 = Social lifestyle 17 = State intervention 18 = Urban vs. rural Ties 19 = Tie: Anti-elite rhetoric and Corruption 20 = Tie: Anti-elite rhetoric and EU integration 21 = Tie: Anti-elite rhetoric and Immigration 22 = Tie: Anti-elite rhetoric and Nationalism 23 = Tie: Anti-elite rhetoric and Public services vs taxes 24 = Tie: Anti-elite rhetoric and Redistribution 25 = Tie: Civil liberties and Corruption 26 = Tie: Civil liberties and Multiculturalism 27 = Tie: Civil liberties and EU integration 28 = Tie: Corruption and Deregulation 29 = Tie: Corruption and Social lifestyle 30 = Tie: Decentralization and Nationalism 31 = Tie: Decentralization and State intervention 32 = Tie: Deregulation and Nationalism 33 = Tie: Deregulation and Public services vs taxes 34 = Tie: Deregulation and Redistribution 35 = Tie: Deregulation and State intervention 36 = Tie: Ethnic minorities and Social lifestyle 37 = Tie: EU integration and Redistribution 38 = Tie: EU integration and Social lifestyle 39 = Tie: Immigration and International security 40 = Tie: Multiculturalism and Nationalism 41 = Tie: Public services vs taxes and Redistribution 42 = Tie: Public services vs taxes and State intervention 43 = Tie: Redistribution and Social lifestyle 44 = Tie: Redistribution and State intervention 45 = Tie: Social lifestyle and State intervention 46 = Tie: Social lifestyle and Urban vs rural 47 = Tie: Anti-elite rhetoric and Deregulation and Ethnic minorities 48 = Tie: Anti-elite rhetoric and Environment and International security 49 = Tie: Decentralization and Public services vs taxes and Redistribution 50 = Tie: Deregulation and Ethnic minorities and State intervention 51 = Tie: EU integration and Social lifestyle and State intervention 52 = Tie: Civil liberties and Multiculturalism and Public services vs taxes and Redistribution 53 = Tie: Decentralization and Ethnic minorities 54 = Tie: EU integration and Nationalism 55 = Tie: Deregulation and Multiculturalism and State Intervention 56 = Tie: Immigration and Social Lifestyle

  • Thanks.

  • Thanks.

  • "." (jellyfish) by koronba.

  • “Game Music Disk Guide 2”(ISBN:978-4-909483-69-0). It is supervised by Tanaka “Hally” Haruhisa, whom I impulsively bought at a bookstore this past May. This book is written in Japanese, and no English translation exists.

    Compared to the first volume, which strictly focused on works released on physical media as a “disk guide,” this second volume also covers works that have never been released on physical media. Consequently, it features music from Amiga and C64 games, which are relatively unknown in Japan. This is precisely why I made the impulse purchase.

    Having finished reading it, I was deeply moved to read the review in my native language of Tim Follin's work. In conclusion, this impulse buy turned out to be a huge success for me. I'd like to express my gratitude here to the bookseller who stocked this title.

  • As a native Japanese speaker, I primarily use the following three online dictionaries:

    • Eijiro, an English-Japanese and Japanese-English dictionary
    • Kotobank, which contains specialized content primarily in Japanese
    • e-words, a dictionary specializing in information technology terminology
  • Antoha MC and KUKIKODAN.

    The former, Antoha MC, is a Russian rapper who I like for his dark atmosphere and melodic accompaniment that complements his humming raps.

    The latter, KUKIKODAN, is a Japanese band whose lyrics and music seem to reflect on the everyday passing of daily life.

  • “Cardboard Cooler” with cooling function using frozen plastic bottles.

    I thought it was ridiculous to make your own air conditioner out of cheap materials, but apparently it's actually quite cool.

    However, the author of the article says that “the wind smells a little like metal.”

    The article is in Japanese, but for details, please refer to the link below.
