☆The translation of the song “LANDING“ is here:
_____________________________
What LANDING means
.
Susumu Hirasawa says there will be a great change in the society in many ways in the near future, which will bring a great shock to the society, and he calls it "Landing", just like there is an impact shock when an airplane makes a landing to the ground.
Here are his tweets about the society nowadays and the "Landing" he twittered on February 7, 2021.
.
(Translation in English)
Please don't make anxiety, fear, or hatred the motivations for your actions and decisions without verification.
Your desire to belong to the majority as well.
(Continued)
.
This is one of the main themes in my interactive live shows and a lot of works of mine.
Please observe and examine carefully the information and the news of incidents that are trying to give you such motivations...
...to find if there are relentless attempt to invite a certain emotion in people or conflicting points. Now is the time for you to do it.
(Continued)
.
When you have some questions or come to a conclusion that there is a trap set by someone, as a result of your observation, you would want to study for thinking to “understand“ the situation, you would find a lot of labels prepared for you...
...as well as a lot of systems made in response to those labels...
(Continued)
.
...and those systems are acting as if they were the authorized fare conclusions, which evoke hatred and contempt in yourselves toward something.
(Continued)
.
If you embrace those labels that are acting as if they were the truth to be your conclusion, you would stop thinking at that point.
(Continued)
.
Please observe and examine those labels carefully. There is no valid discussion developed there, they are based on lies, and they try to continue accelerating your anxiety, hatred, and contempt,...
...and they use “the specialists“ and “the authorities“ that take an attitude of oppressiveness in order to make you believe those feelings are true.
(Continued)
.
If you stop thinking right now, being tricked into thinking you have reached the conclusion, it would mean that you will participate in taking freedom, the right to a free decision-making, and dignity away from yourselves and all other people.
Don't stop thinking.
(Continued)
.
However, our thinking have been immersed in the world of labels for a long time. We've acquired the habit of immediately eliminating all the unusual possibilities and hypothesis from the list of creditable assumptions
according to those labels when we face a problem...
...We are conditioned to think that only the common knowledge proven to be true in the past, the authorities, and the majority's opinion are trustworthy. Something to make a breakthrough from this situation is the capacity for imagination.
(Continued)
.
Those labels are presented for you, without showing any cause to prove that what they are expressing is true, so that you would not become close to the truth, and the labels are kept functioning by the people who accept them...
...Therefore, having the capacity for imagination will expose you to danger.
(Continued)
.
If you confess that you are yet on the way to the truth, you would become a target to be labelled. However, you don't necessarily have to disclose that...
...If you keep silent but not bend down, or if there is more people who pretend to obey but secretly betray the authority, it would make the possibility that the evil intention to work effectively smaller.
(Continued)
.
In our minds accustomed to refer to the common sense and the prevailing theories that are accepted rather than exercising our imagination when we face a problem, there is a system to sensor the imagination, but the ability for imagination hasn't died out yet, fortunately.
(Continued)
.
If you stop the censorship system within yourselves, your imagination would start working. I mean, your imagination always wants to work, but your inner censorship system has been suppressing it...
...If you make your mind open to everything and start having free and flexible thinking that can accept any possibilities, your imagination would start working.
(Continued)
.
I am going to continue this twittering until 14:50.
You are free to stop reading it.
.
Don't be afraid to have anxiety and isolated feeling coming from the thinking you may have like "That can't be true." "That's against the common sense." "If I think that way, people would think I am stupid." That is exactly your inner censorship system.
(Continued)
.
Let me correct my word. This will continue until 14:55.
You are free to unfollow me.
.
Your imagination will become your guide in the forest of possibilities and hypotheses, and it will lead you to the truth. You will find that the world is in a huge storm where you used to think nothing was happening. People won't listen to or believe what you say as before.
(Continued)
.
However, you won't want to go back to the way it used to be because you will be feeling that you are alive truly and being your true self even though you are in a deep isolation and in a storm.
(Continued)
.
At the same time, you would find the sense of danger that your and other people's human rights to freedom and dignity are about to be stolen as well as the hope for liberation.
(Continued)
.
In the past, a lot of musicians used to play the roles to warn people like this. However, I realized that music had been defeated when I put the phrase "Rock music is embarrassing." on the commercial strip over our record. The music has been defeated.
(Continued)
[Notes:] [There is a phrase "ロックは恥かかしい/Rock music is embarrassing" printed on the commercial strip over the record cover of P-MODEL's Potpourri.]
.
Nowadays, most musicians don't have a concept that they should play this kind of role. Even punk rock musicians, that used to be the spearheads of "Non-obedience", are showing their figures completely surrendering to the authority on SNS shamelessly these days...
I call this kind of people "屈服/Kuppuku[pronounced 'Kupk']/succumbed Pistols". [A spoof of Sex Pistols]
The hard landing is coming.
I wish you a good luck.

不安や、恐怖、憎悪を行動や意思決定のための検証不要な動機としないでください。
多数派への帰属欲求も同様です。

これは私のインタラクティブ・ライブや多くの作品の主たるテーマの一つです。
貴方にそのような動機を持たせようとする情報や事件に、執拗な感情喚起や矛盾が無いかを注意深く観察してください。今がその時です。
（続く）
観察の結果、疑問を持ち、あるいはまんまと罠にかかり、「理解」を求めて考察しようとする時、そこには用意された多数のレッテルが存在し、あるいは貴方が蓄積してきた多数のレッテルに呼応する仕掛けが有り、
（続く）
貴方の中に憎悪や軽蔑を喚起させ、それが権威による公正な結論であるかのように振舞っています。
（続く）
貴方は真実のように振舞うそのレッテルを貴方の結論として採用し、そこで思考を停止します。
（続く）
レッテルをよく観察してください。そこでは如何なる正当な論も展開されておらず、あるいは嘘を前提にしており、ひたすら貴方の不安や憎悪や軽蔑を煽り、その感情をして真実と認めさせる「専門家」や「権威」の威圧があるのみです。
（続く）
もし貴方がここで結論を得たと錯覚して思考をやめるなら、それは貴方や他の全ての人々の自由や独自の意思決定や尊厳を奪わせることに加担することになります。
思考をやめないでください。
（続く）
しかし我々の思考は長い間レッテル漬けにされており、我々が問題に向き合う時、あらゆる可能性や仮説はレッテルによって即座に信用に足る前提から除外するように習慣付けられています。信用に足るのは経験済みの常識や権威や多数派だけだというわけです。これを突破するのは「想像力」です。
（続く）
レッテルはそれが表現するものの根拠を一切示さないまま貴方を真実に近づけないために用意され、それを受け入れる人々によって機能し続けています。それゆえ想像力は貴方を危険に晒すでしょう。
（続く）
貴方が真実への途上にあるとの告白をするなら貴方自身がレッテルを貼られる対象になるのです。しかし、必ずしも告白する必要はありません。ただ黙って屈服せず、あるいは面従腹背の人々が増えるだけでも、悪意が効力を発揮できない前提が拡大することになるからです。
（続く）
問題に直面した時、想像力を発揮するより、経験済みの常識や通説を参照するように習慣づけられた我々の中には、想像力の検閲システムが存在するだけで、幸い想像力はまだ死滅していません。
（続く）
検閲システムを停止させれば想像力は働き始めます。というより、想像力は常に働きたがっており、検閲システムがそれを抑えつけているのです。心をオープンにし、あらゆる可能性を受け入れる柔軟で自由な思考を始めれば想像力は働き始めます。
（続く）
これは14時50分まで続きます。貴方は見るのをやめることもできます。
posted at 14:29:50
「そんなことあるわけがない」「非常識だ」「こんな考えは人にバカにされる」という感情から沸き起こる不安や孤立感を恐れないでください。それこそが検閲システムです。
（続く）
嘘いいました。55分まで続きます。
貴方はフォローをやめることもできます。
posted at 14:33:47
想像力は、可能性や仮説の森のガイドとなり、やがて貴方を真実へと導くでしょう。そこで何も起こっていないように見えていた世界に巨大な嵐が吹き荒れているのを見るでしょう。人々は貴方の話しを相変わらず聞き入れません。
（続く）
しかし、貴方はもう元に戻る気が起こらないでしょう。そこに深い孤立や嵐が有っても、今まで以上に生きた心地がし、自分が自分であることを感じることができるからです。
（続く）
同時に、貴方や、人々の自由や尊厳が奪われようとしていることの危機感と、解放への希望を見つけるでしょう。
（続く）
かつては多くのミュージシャンがこのような警告を発する役割を担っていました。しかし、私がレコードの帯に「ロックは恥ずかしい」と書いた時、音楽は敗北していることを知っていました。音楽は敗北したのです。
（続く）
現在はほとんどのミュージシャンにこのような認識はなく、かつては「不服従」の先鋒のようであったパンクさえ、現在では完全に屈服した姿を臆面もなくSNSに晒しています。私は、このような人々を「屈服ピストルズ」と呼んでいます。
ハードランディングが来ます。
幸運を祈る。
