“nerve” and “\u96d1\u97f3\u7a7a\u9593” each have separate origins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

In the beginning, this site was called “The Space for Sundry Matters”. It meant something like “The Junkyard”. But no one remembered the name correctly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So I decided to give it a catchy Japanese name, and decided to read “Sundry Matters” as referring to “miscellaneous music”, “\u96d1\u591a\u306a\u97f3\u697d” in Japanese.
The literal translation “The space for miscellaneous music” (“\u96d1\u591a\u306a\u97f3\u697d\u306e\u305f\u3081\u306e\u7a7a\u9593” in Japanese) was then abbreviated to “\u96d1\u97f3\u7a7a\u9593”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

One day in 1999, I suddenly had an idea and changed the name of the site to “nerve” without prior notice. However, many visitors said that this name made no sense and that I should change it back, so I resurrected the original site name with brackets and “nerve(\u96d1\u97f3\u7a7a\u9593)” became the official name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don’t remember exactly where nerve came from, but it is probably one of the following.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Acronyms of Noise Environment (which) Recalls Vivid Enchantment<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • I was given part of the title of master musician Brian Eno’s album Nerve Net, as I was a big fan of his ambient furniture music at the time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
