星に願いを? 星辰信仰か何か?

今年の七夕は土曜日。当日の天気も気になるところだが、毎年この時期、ツイッターでは様々な七夕関連のハッシュタグで願い事をツイートする人たちがいる。

ここはやはり、Twitterで願いをかけてみてはどうでしょう。#天の川にお願い のハッシュタグをつけることをお忘れなく。

毎年7月7日は雨の日のほうが多い気がするけど、どうなんだろ?

Japan Tokai Earthquake Predicted July 2012
by Britton LaRoche – 01/08/2009 (2:12 pm)
Update Jan 2012: Quake Database Built and Tested! Results are Here:

The next Tokai Quake in Japan will most likely take place on July 08 2012. The prediction was made on March 30th 2011, and refined in January 2012. The prediction is based on equal correlation for both lunar and solar eclipses of the same saros series and the related extreme tidal pressure on subducted tectonic plates. We do have a solar eclipse passing over Japan on May 20 2012. However it is the lunar eclipse on June 4th 2012 and its saros series 140 that is predicted to trigger the earthquake.

(a cappella)
In addition to providing vocal backup for a number of Dick Haymes hits during the recording ban, the group reached the top of the Billboard charts on its own with this wartime favorite. Also posted is the flipside “Johnny Zero” as well as another version of “Wing And A Prayer” by Willie Kelly.
This is a’recording ban’ hit, performed a cappella (all vocal…no musical instruments) due to the ongoing strike against the recording industry by James C. Petrillo’s American Federation of Musicians which began August 1, 1942, and remained in effect for each of the major labels until they reached agreement on a new contract with the union.

Perry Como with Choir and Organ directed by Mitchell Ayres – The Lord’s Prayer(1949 version)

recorded September 30, 1949
Like its subtle and lovely original 1949 flipside “Ave Maria,” Perry’s first recording of “The Lord’s Prayer” was consistently overlooked for inclusion in Como CD compilations over the years in favor of RCA Victor’s later, more fully-arranged, stereo remake versions. And also like its flip, it was recorded at the Church Of Incarnation in NYC and registered on the BB best-selling singles chart during the 1949 holiday season.

Kelly Garrett – The Answer To A Young Girl’s Prayer(1966)
ケリー・ギャレットはブロードウェイやテレビで活躍した女優・歌手。
冒頭シャングリラスのような語りから始まる。

Out of Los Angeles, the second of a two record deal she made with Tutti Camaratta’s, Palomar Records. The first single,’Save Me From Myself’ and the follow-up,’A Toy In The Hands Of A Child’ are both dramatic productions that show off the vocal power of the 22 year old songstress. ‘The Answer To A Young Girl’s Prayer, the flip to that second disc is quite powerful to say the least and has quite a lot going on in it’s two minute and twenty-five second length. Born in Chester, Pennsylvania in 1944 as Ellen Boulton, she and her family would move to New Mexico in 1946. At the age of 16, she studied for a year at the College Conservatory of Music and then left for Los Angeles where she changed her name to Kelly Garret on the advice of her agent. Singing in clubs at night and working as a bank teller by day, within a year she had scored a record contract with Ava Records and began appearing on television, most notably on the teen music programs,’Shindig!’ and’Shivaree’. She continued to record throughout the 1970’s as well as acting. In the 1990’s she began giving voice lessons which she continued to do from her North Hollywood home for about ten years. She returned to New Mexico and in 2009 was diagnosed with throat and tongue cancer which she would ultimately succumb to in 2013 at the age of 69.

from the album “The Windows of the World”(1967)

Pop Chart Peaks: Billboard & Record World 4, Cash Box 5
One of the greatest (IMO) of the Bacharach-David songs which combined with the flip side “Valley Of The Dolls” theme to sell over a million 45s. Less than a year later “I Say A Little Prayer” would return to the Top 10 via Aretha Franklin’s recording.

フジテレビが6月9日に放送したバラエティー番組「めちゃ×2イケてるッ!」で、出演者が長時間飲酒して酒豪ぶりを競う内容が放送され、飲酒事故で子供を亡くした親たちでつくる「イッキ飲み防止連絡協議会」など3団体が、謝罪放送と再発防止を求めた問題があり、フジテレビの豊田皓社長は6日、定例会見で「アルコール・ハラスメントへの認識が足りなかった」と陳謝した。

受験戦争を勝ち抜いてきた局のプロデューサーなどは幼稚な人が多いので、そういうのが面白いのだろう。
映画会社もテレビ局も、東大・京大を取るようになって斜陽化が始まった。これは偶然の一致ではなかろう。

 JR東日本が東京駅構内(東京都千代田区)に開設した、無料の礼拝施設「プレイヤー・ルーム(祈祷(きとう)室)」が好評だ。
 祈祷室は、外国人旅行者の増加を受けて設置。2人程度が静かに過ごせるスペースで、係員が扉を開錠し、宗教や宗派を問わず利用できる。6月の開設以来、毎日10人前後の利用があるという。
 主な利用者はイスラム教徒。1日に5回、暁、正午、午後、日没後、夜にお祈りする習慣があるが、移動中は難しかった。一方、日本政府はイスラム教徒が多いマレーシアやインドネシアなど東南アジア5カ国のビザ発給要件を緩和し、訪日客が急増している。
 祈祷室は年中無休で、利用時間は午前8時半~午後7時(土日祝日は5時)。
