In the biginning

To explain this blog, I want to ask you "who you are?" For me, a suitable word that shows an essential quality of people is "Kodawari." (It means that Kodawari has another meaning. Check google!) That's why I use Kodawari for the name of this blog. I want you to talk about the topic that comes to your mind when you are asked: "What's your Kodawari?"

Generally speaking, "Kodawari" is different from what we learned at school. If you think learning other than class is a waste of time, I really recommend you to go back to study for entrance exam or find jobs because I do not think there is much "useful" information in here. Personally, school curriculum (especially in Japan) reduces room for talking about professor's Kodawari, and it makes study boring and students become studying automatically. I admit we cannot put everything in the school curriculum, but if people say you can study whatever you want, what do you want to study? Is it on the curriculum? Maybe, but you can also learn things out of the curriculum, which you really like. Then, I realize why not make the place where people study for their favorite things, so I open this blog. For learning, it is easy to get information from others, so I will put video and article, which is same as normal studying.


Also, it is important to learn from teachers, professors, presidents, who have knowledge and prestige, but when I listen to their talking, sometimes I feel bored because they do not really like topics. So, I think it is better to hear the topics from the lovers. For example, I will want to talk about trombone, but I am not a music college student or join in an orchestra. I just really like it. When I talk about the trombone, you may feel my enthusiasm. For me, that's worth to hear even if speakers or writers are nonprofessional.

Nowadays, we can take Ivy League's class online. Since we have the internet, it is easy to get much information.  Also, you can get a good education if you bring money and a good score to university. However, I think we should pursue more than the knowledge that can get from the university. Our way to learn is 2D type because the knowledge is broad but shallow. We need one more dimension. Get a deeper learning.

I want speakers, writers, and readers. I do not care what topics are!! If you want, please email us, or comment below.
