Study-Social Psychology: Social comparison

 People tend to have uncomfortable emotion when they feel low self esteem.

By feeling it, they try to go to higher self esteem.

In that process, they get to have comfortable emotion by comparing to the other who are inferior to them.


We call the process which compares to other as "Social comparison".

There are two types of comparison.

1.A comparison to lower than themselves

2. A comparison to higher than themselves


Japanese tend to show low self esteem on purpose as strategy to communication between people in order to make another feel a comparison to lower than himself.

Rehearsal of Julien Concasser

 Today, after the work, I went to Omiya to do a rehearsal of Julien Concasser, which is the original rock band I take part in as a keyboardist. There will be 2 times of live performance in April. On April 5, we will do the performance at CRESCENDO in Kichijoji. On April 26, we will do it at Yotsuya OUTBREAK in Yotsuya. We would have done recording new songs for new album, if he schedule were not filled. But, we talked about it too and end up with that we will make new album by spending long time.  Yesterday, the keyboardist of Calm Rose was very skillful player. So, I would like to enhance myself as a keyboardist. Through her playing, I discovered the point of my wanting. The point which I am lack of is that I am not good at making sound notes exactly. I always make original sound notes by intuition, but I had heard from the keyboardist long time ago when I took part in the session of Keion R 40 that he made sound notes thinking the extent of Hz. Even though I don't reach that...

The point of my object as a keyboardist

 I have started musical activity as an amateur keyboardist since 2011. On November 26th in 2011 was my milestone day because it is the day of my starting the musical activity as a keyboardist. Although I experienced the mental illness, I turned it into my motivation for musical activity and my composition. I'm in the middle of improving as a musician by taking part in the band activity because there is advices from the member how to play the keyboard. So, it can be said that I am premature as a keyboardist, but if I think so, I should improve my lack points by compiling those points in this blog. I would like to analyze them one by one in this blog. 1.DTM skills I always make songs by DAW, but I often feel insufficient result to my composition because my composition seems not to be authorized as a commodity which can be sold in the market place. The evidence of it is testified that I once submitted my composition to the site Audiostock for selling my songs, but it was not allowed t...

Recent activity-Similarity between post and people-

 Recently, I dropped down from the work of washing dishes for some reason. But, I will be supposed to work as worker who wash dishes. About 1 month, I did trivial duties like posting handout, washing toilet, and filing the memorandum of record of attendance. At first, it seemed difficult for me to adjust myself to them, but I got to discover the joy in that work. For example, posting is like communication with people. The point I felt the similarity is at where they have relationship between sender and receiver. When you try to communicate with people, you will try to see how that person is like. Sender of the message will try to send the message in order to let the receiver be easier to catch the ball of message. It must be applied to posting. I began to see a lot of posts as people degree by degree because I must send the handout to the entrance of the post, thinking the easier way of being able to enter the entrance of that post. It is like communication! There are several kinds...
