Yes, Nirvana is still immensely popular here in Japan, but forget about Kurt Cobain this time. Nirvana is a state that is free from something like lust, anger or craving. It is also the highest spiritual state that can possibly be achieved. If you achieved that goal once, no matter what happens to you, a state of perfect peace will never be bothered physically and mentally. For example, you will never be overwhelmed by emotion when you face your relative's death or hear someone calling your name because people who achieved that state are able to see everything for what it is like the Beatles sings "Let It Be". But I know nobody's perfect, and it's not easy to be perfect. So Kurt would say, "Come As You Are"!

It's really difficult to be perfect. To be honest, it's difficult to be ordinary, too.
I read your blog entry. I think it is interesting to learn Japanese culture deeply. I'm looking forward to your new entry.
