I am orchestrating a disastrous
omiai, trying to force a marriage between
Radiohead and the
Ukulele. I have my eyes set on the prize: for my ukulele friends and I to be able to play the song Electioneering from
OK Computer. I have the guitar tablature for the song, but it's still a struggle. What does "dmadd4" even MEAN?. D minor with something diminished something something 4th position? Several people have suggested I start a ukulele club at
Waseda, surprisingly they don't have one. They do however have like fifty god damn tennis clubs. It makes no sense to start one now, with my departure appearing inevitable, so for now we remain just a group. However while trying to figure out Electioneering today I came upon a cool name for my ukulele collective: ukureishii. That's a combination of "ukurere", ukulele, and "ureshii", happy. Japanese language jokes about the ukulele, my nerdcoreness is out of control.
