Superfly is a Japanese rock act that debuted on April 4, 2007. Formerly a duo, the act now consists solely of lyricist and vocalist Shiho Ochi with former guitarist Kōichi Tabo still credited as the group's composer and part-time lyricist. Superfly's first two studio albums have been certified double platinum by the Recording Industry Association of Japan, and their four albums (the third being classified as a "single" by the group) all debuted at the top of the Oricon's Weekly Album Charts, a first for a female recording artist in Japan in over seven years.
History
2003–2006: Formation
Shiho Ochi(越智 志帆,Ochi Shiho) met Kōichi Tabo(多保 孝一,Tabo Kōichi) in 2003 while they were students at Matsuyama University. They were both members of a music circle that covered songs by Finger 5 and the Rolling Stones. In 2004, the group formed the blues band "Superfly", naming themselves after Curtis Mayfield's song "Superfly". The group disbanded in 2005, with only Ochi and Tabo remaining when they went to Tokyo to seek out a label.
Superfly is the debut studio album by Japanese band Superfly released on May 14, 2008. Approximately 391,182 copies have been sold in Japan and is certified Double Platinum by the RIAJ for the shipment of 500,000 copies. On the iTunes Store, a special remix of "Manifesto" by Ram Rider was included.
Superfly debuted at number 1 on the Oricon's weekly album charts; the last time a female artist had their first album debut at number 1 was Tina's Colorado in 1999.
Film is a 1965 film written by Samuel Beckett, his only screenplay. It was commissioned by Barney Rosset of Grove Press. Writing began on 5 April 1963 with a first draft completed within four days. A second draft was produced by 22 May and a forty-leaf shooting script followed thereafter. It was filmed in New York in July 1964.
Beckett’s original choice for the lead – referred to only as “O” – was Charlie Chaplin, but his script never reached him. Both Beckett and the director Alan Schneider were interested in Zero Mostel and Jack MacGowran. However, the former was unavailable and the latter, who accepted at first, became unavailable due to his role in a "Hollywood epic." Beckett then suggested Buster Keaton. Schneider promptly flew to Los Angeles and persuaded Keaton to accept the role along with "a handsome fee for less than three weeks' work."James Karen, who was to have a small part in the film, also encouraged Schneider to contact Keaton.
The filmed version differs from Beckett's original script but with his approval since he was on set all the time, this being his only visit to the United States. The script printed in Collected Shorter Plays of Samuel Beckett (Faber and Faber, 1984) states:
In fluid dynamics, lubrication theory describes the flow of fluids (liquids or gases) in a geometry in which one dimension is significantly smaller than the others. An example is the flow above air hockey tables, where the thickness of the air layer beneath the puck is much smaller than the dimensions of the puck itself.
Internal flows are those where the fluid is fully bounded. Internal flow lubrication theory has many industrial applications because of its role in the design of fluid bearings. Here a key goal of lubrication theory is to determine the pressure distribution in the fluid volume, and hence the forces on the bearing components. The working fluid in this case is often termed a lubricant.
Free film lubrication theory is concerned with the case in which one of the surfaces containing the fluid is a free surface. In that case the position of the free surface is itself unknown, and one goal of lubrication theory is then to determine this. Surface tension may then be significant, or even dominant. Issues of wetting and dewetting then arise. For very thin films (thickness less than one micrometre), additional intermolecular forces, such as Van der Waals forces or disjoining forces, may become significant.

音楽の天才が誕生した。作曲からミックス、マスタリングに至る音楽制作のすべての過程を一人で成し遂げた、いわゆる‘ワンマンオールメイドアルバム’がリリースされ、歌謡関係者たちの関心を集めている。アイドルグループはもちろん、シンガーソングライターの中からもなかった国内初のアルバムである。話題のアルバムは、男性アイドルグループ‘トゥーフォケイ（24K）’の4ｔｈアルバムである。
２４Kの4ｔｈアルバムには、タイトル曲「チャラ男/Super Fly」をはじめ、全5曲の歌が収録されている。最近、外国でホットなトレンドジャンルとして注目されているFestivel EDMのヒップホップ曲「チャラ男」は、ノリのいいサウンドとメロディーを繰り返して中毒性のある強烈なダンス音楽である。メンバーの‘デイル’が書いた歌詞は、世の中を歪んだ視線で見る不良っぽくて反抗的なチャラ男の外見とは裏腹に暖かくて孤独な内面を持った一人の男と純粋で心優しい女性の‘恋愛’を描いたロマンチックファンタジーである。
음악 천재가 탄생했다. 작곡부터 믹스 마스터링에 이르는 음악 제작의 모든 과정을 한 사람이 해낸 이른바 ‘원 맨 올 메이드 앨범’이 나와 가요 관계자들로부터 관심을 끌고 있다. 아이돌 그룹 뿐만 아니라 싱어송라이터 가수로도 전무했던 국내 최초의 앨범이다. 화제의 앨범은 남성 아이돌 그룹 투포케이(24K)의 4집이다.
투포케이 4집 앨범에는 타이틀곡 [날라리]를 비롯해, 총 5곡의 노래가 수록되어 있다. 요즘 외국에서 핫한 트랜드 장르로 주목받는 Festivel EDM의 힙합곡 [날라리]는 신나는 사운드와 멜로디를 반복적으로 들려주며 중독성을 더해주는 강렬한 댄스음악이다. 멤버 대일이가 쓴 가사는 세상을 삐딱하게 바라보는 불량스럽고 반항적인 날라리의 겉모습과 달리, 따뜻하고 외로운 내면을 지닌 한 날라리 남자와 순수하고 마음씨 착한 한 여자의 ‘썸’을 그린 로맨틱 판타지이다.
