定宇摘要分享日本新任首相岸田的幾個施政方針，來源為日經亞洲Nikkei Asia和其他國際媒體、智庫…
定宇先說個人初步判斷，岸田的施政方針，是對台灣有利的架構；而岸田的內閣人事，會有安倍、麻生的影響力，而這二位都是強硬友台派；在區域安全上，美日同盟結合國際夥伴共同對抗侵略式擴張的中國，將會是立即看得見的外交方向，加上強化自衛隊的主張，日本與中國的摩擦將加大。
日本自民黨新任黨魁，也是第100任內閣首相岸田文雄Fumio Kishida，對付中國將是岸田內閣的首要問題，面對中國侵略式的外交和經濟，岸田提出深沈的警告，也將在各個面向努力，確保日本的安全和利益。
經濟是岸田施政的焦點，「經濟安全」會是他的優先工作，如何在地緣政治上，確保日本經濟安全。
面對美中爭奪科技主導權，日本與美國、台灣、韓國將協調確保戰略物資供應鏈，例如半導體。
將在「分配正義」上著手，要把經濟的果實分享給經濟上的中下階層。
在軍事上，將強化自衛隊角色和戰力，特別強調，面對鄰近的威脅，日本必須具備源頭打擊敵人基地的導彈能力，而不是滿足於攔截來襲的飛彈而已。
在外交上，強調維護自由、民主、國際規範、人權這些基本價值，與理念相同的國家，像美國、歐盟、印度、澳洲等，共同對抗獨裁政體，也會在印太地區扮演更積極的角色。
在人權上，將設置「首相人權輔佐官」，將發動調查包括新疆維吾爾族等人權議題。
在黨務上，岸田提出黨改革方案中，最受矚目就是黨幹部任期以一年一任最多三任為限。目前幹事長以輔選有功的麻生派眾議員甘利明呼聲最高，岸田也承諾將重用其他三位競選者河野太郎、高市早苗及野田聖子。
Dealing with China would be a top priority in his government, Fumio Kishida, a contender to succeed Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga, told Nikkei, expressing “deep alarm” at Beijing’s aggressive behavior on the diplomatic and economic fronts.
To protect “basic values such as freedom, democracy, the rule of law and human rights, we will work with those that share the same values, such as the U.S., Europe, India and Australia, to stand against authoritarian systems,” Kishida said in an recent interview.
Economic security is high on his agenda. As Washington and Beijing compete for technological dominance, Japan, the U.S., Taiwan and South Korea are scrambling to coordinate to secure supply chains for strategically important goods such as semiconductors.
“I will protect our nation’s geopolitical interests with a focus on the economy,” he said.
On defense, Kishida emphasized the need for the capabilities to strike enemy missile bases to prevent to an imminent attack. “Even if missile defense systems block a first attack,” having capabilities to attack enemy bases could “protect people’s lives if a second or more shots are being launched,” he said.
🛵 Powering the world's #innovation and the future of #mobility: "Until recently, the bikes were only assembled in #Taiwan🇹🇼 and shipped to warehouses in the U.S., Canada and Europe or directly to customers in Australasia. Each shipping container from Taiwan could fit 25 bikes. Now, CAKE - ridecake.com can ship enough components from Taiwan to its European or North American facilities to equal 150 bikes per container, reducing shipping volume by more than 80%"

About the work:
Dirge is a prepared piano piece that is processed through electronics and fused with a harsh vocal speaking the poem "Dirge" by Shakespeare. "Dirge" is written about death from the perspective of the dying. The meditative, dark sound interlaced with complex piano melodies and rhythms creates a perfect, romantic atmosphere around the aspect of death. The harsh vocal can be interpreted as the cries of a crow, traditionally a messenger of death.
Dirge (134)
William Shakespeare
COME away, come away, death,
And in sad cypres let me be laid;
Fly away, fly away, breath;
I am slain by a fair cruel maid.
My shroud of white, stuck all with yew,
O prepare it!
My part of death, no one so true
Did share it.
Not a flower, not a flower sweet,
On my black coffin let there be strown;
Not a friend, not a friend greet
My poor corse, where my bones shall be thrown:
A thousand thousand sighs to save,
Lay me, O, where
Sad true lover never find my grave
To weep there!

輓歌
威廉莎士比亞
無常爾來矣﹐置我於柩床。一息已云絕﹐殺我乃姣娘。
麻絰及紫杉﹐速備慎毋忘。無人愛我深﹐乃肯殉我亡。
竟無一好花﹐撒余靈柩旁。竟無一良朋﹐弔余埋骨場。
不須為余泣﹐葬余在遐荒。親友無覓處﹐免其徒哀傷。
《輓歌》是為預先設置的鋼琴，現場即時聲響效果控制，與金屬黑死腔演場所創作的作品。人聲的部分所吟唱的是莎士比亞的詩作 "輓歌"。這首詩所描寫的角度，是從一個渴望垂死的靈魂，面對生命中無法抗拒的凋落。企圖利用鋼琴複雜的旋律與節奏營造出一種完美浪漫的死亡氛圍，暴烈的人聲比喻為烏鴉的哭聲，代表死亡的傳統使者。
Ivan Voinov 來自俄羅斯，成長過程中大部分居住在美國。在他的作品中，充分展現了俄羅斯的民族意識與風格。就讀高中時，已經展露在室內樂作品的創作能量，樂曲曾發表於 俄羅斯，佛蒙特州，與電台相關專訪。目前就讀於約翰霍普金斯琵琶地音樂院電腦音樂系，主修作曲，雙修錄音藝術。師從 Dr. Geoffrey Wright。創作特色專注於聲音的探索以及有關電子音樂現場控制的深入研究。
汪戊全，來自台灣台北，2013年畢業於臺北科技大學互動媒體設計研究所，目前嘗試以手作的細膩態度融入互動媒體設計的謹慎思考，共同創造出述說新形態故事溫暖人心的價值。
楊政，來自臺灣，畢業於實踐大學服裝設計系，在組樂團的過程中受到身邊不同藝術形式的人啟發試著追求無法明確定義的表演形式。曾經重新定義縫紉機的聲音的意義，在各地做過演出，同時於2013年在牯嶺街小劇場手作工作坊演出。
