Fear

Fear of failure
Fear of not meeting expectations
Fear of disappointing others
Fear of disappointing yourself
Fear of shame
Fear of pain
Fear of negative perceptions from peers
Fear of being incompetent
Fear of embarrasment

There really is only one fear. Fear itself.
Build a bridge. Get over it.
Get over yourself.

Focus on the task.
Think of the sense of accomplishment.
Just do it.

「あゆるものの真ん中で」~森山直太朗

Brilliant music and vocals from Naotaro as always.
The lyrics and melodies are always very pretty and creative.
However, not to say it is lacking in strength, but, well, I guess the vocals aren't so..how do I put it? sheesh I'm rambling. I guess, what I'm trying to say is that he isn't exactly belting out power ballads. Most of the tunes are either mellow or they're fun songs.
Maybe after 涙 the bars of my expectations have risen yet again. Most of the stuff out there are now only mediocre in comparison. It's wonderful and yet I've become a music snob. Other than selected musicals, Anthony Warlow and Nao-chan, there is little else I can listen to without being overly cynical and critical about. Well, recently I've gotten back into Classical.
So, back to Nao-I love all the songs but one fave is [人のことなんて]

人のことなんて

もうどうだって

いいじゃないか

 "Wouldn't it be easier if we didn't care about people...?""

I love the piano accompaniment. I love the simplicity of the message. I love his voice.

オトナモード The music is pretty good. Too bad the vocalist isn't really my cup of tea.
