Source text - Japanese 振子装置にはさらに別の利点もあり、これは図5から読みとれる。この図は、381系電車が同一箇所を同一速度で走行した場合の車体左右振動加速度の波形を、振子装置を固定した場合と動作させた場合で比較したものである。車体左右振動加速度は振子を動作させた場合の方が明らかに小さい。これは、振子装置がばねとして作用し、車体左右振動加速度を緩和したことを意味する。
Translation - English There are also other advantages to the Tilting Device and these can be seen from Diagram 5. This diagram is a comparison of the 381 Series carbody vibration acceleration wave form when travelling over the same point at the same speed when the tilt mechanism was both fixed and moveable. The carbody lateral vibration acceleration when the tilt device was used are clearly smaller. The tilt device functions as a spring and mitigates the carbody lateral vibration acceleration.

Source text - Japanese 日本の胡弓は今や数の少ない楽器となったが、例外的に有名なのが富山の八尾に伝わる「越中おわら節」である。毎年9月１日から3日に行われる「風の盆」では町中を三味線と胡弓が練り歩く。その奏者も踊り手も地元の住民でありながら見事な演奏が街の辻々で夜通し続き、情緒豊かな風情は小説や歌謡曲にも何度となくとり上げられている。
Translation - English The Japanese Kokyu is now quite a rare instrument but there is one exceptionally famous piece called 'Etchu owara bushi' which has been handed down in Yatsuo town, Toyama prefecture. At the annual 'Kaze no bon festival' (Bon dance of the wind) from the 1st to the 3rd September, this song is played on the Shamisen and Kokyu in a procession through the town. Made up of musicians, dancers and local residents, the magnificent musical performance carries on through the night at every street corner and the emotionally rich atmosphere frequently appears in stories and popular songs.
