I asked CHAT GPT！
↓↓↓
How would you spend your last day on Earth？！
First, thinking about how you would spend it if it were you
before reading on
↓↓↓
If I knew that today was my last day on earth, I would want to make the most of it, making it a day that was simple yet fulfilling.
Morning:Wake up a little early before the sun has risen fully, and face the morning light streaming in through the window while taking a deep breath. Savour a cup of warm drink slowly, and savour the feeling that you are indeed alive. It may not be a special spice or rare tea, but it could be your usual coffee or green tea. By savouring the taste of something you use every day for the last time, you will engrave in your heart how precious your ordinary, everyday life is.
AM: If you have family or close friends, you will go to see them or call them to see their faces. Rather than preparing special words, you will just be with them, and without reservation you will talk about everyday things, reminisce about your childhood, and express your gratitude for things you have not been able to say before. You will convey short words such as ‘stay well’ and ‘I was happy to have you in my life’ properly and directly. You will also cherish warm forms of physical contact such as hugs and holding hands.
Lunch:Rather than a special, expensive dinner, you choose the most ‘nostalgic and comforting’ home-cooked meal you have eaten many times before. Perhaps it's the omelette your mother used to make, or the ramen noodles you used to eat at a shop near your house when you were a child. As you savour the taste, you think back on the path you have taken in your life, and the faces of the people who were involved in that meal.
PM:If nature is nearby, you go and visit it. In a quiet place where you can feel the sky, trees, wind, birdsong and flowing water, you can be alone and have time for reflection. You may have regrets or unfulfilled dreams in your life, but here you can invite feelings of contentment and compassion into your heart, thinking ‘I've worked hard enough, and I've been loved and I've loved’. You might play your favourite music through your earphones and trace the memories you have cherished deep in your heart.
Evening to night: We return to the time we spend with the people we love. We watch the beautiful sunset, smile and talk, and cherish the time that passes peacefully. Then, we repeat to ourselves ‘thank you’ to the people we have met so far, and if possible, we send a short greeting by email or message, and wish them happiness. Rather than setting up a special ceremony, we try to be as natural as possible, and without being over-stressed, we try to have a conversation and attitude that will leave a ‘proof of life’ around us.
In the end, you let go of any unnecessary thoughts and welcome the end of the day in a comfortable silence. You will slowly close your eyes with a sense of gratitude for the life you have lived, a life that has existed in the world and meant something to someone.

Book Summary: The way of life of people who mysteriously never seem to be short of money
【Koichi Honda】
This is an explanation of Koichi Honda's book
‘The Way of Life of People Who Mysteriously Never seem to be short of money"
1. Understanding the true nature of money
- Money is a ‘magic wand’ that can make many of your dreams come true and help you avoid misfortune.
- Get rid of negative images of money (‘money = evil’ or ‘money is dirty’).
2. Preparing your mind when spending money
- Be grateful for the value you gain from spending money.
- Think of it as a gain rather than a loss each time you spend money, and look at it positively.
3. Lower the bar for happiness
- Develop the habit of being grateful for the little everyday things you take for granted.
- Find small sources of happiness to enrich your heart.
4. Separate money from hardship
- Change your mindset from ‘money is the price of hardship’.
- Think more freely and flexibly about how to get money.
5. Redefine the purpose of work
- Instead of ‘working to make a living’, think of it as ‘working to be happy’.
- Link your work to your own happiness.
6. Think about how you're going to spend your money first
- Money is a means to an end, not an end in itself.
- If you have a specific dream or goal, it will be easier to attract money.
7. Regain yourself through new experiences
- Find joy in new discoveries and experiences, just like you did when you were a child.
- Make time to reset your mind and find out what you want to do.
8. Make decisions based on whether you are happy or not.
- Don't look for the ‘right answer’, but make decisions based on 'whether you are happy or not.'
- If you are happy, you can have a positive influence on those around you.
Summary
- Understand the true nature of money and have a positive image of it.
- Appreciate spending money and make it a habit to think of it as directly linked to happiness.
- By clarifying your reasons for working and how you spend your money, and having a purpose, you will be able to attract money.
Please use this explanation as a reference and adopt a way of thinking that will help you achieve a positive cycle of money!

If you have participated in Ivana's workshop before,
you will know that it is not just ‘observation’.
We will announce the details of the active auditor role

From this time onwards, we will be holding master classes that place more importance on players.

Mago Studio's third guest is Mago's great fan, GLAY vocalist TERU.
We will be bringing you the story of their meeting and relationship, as well as the sensibilities of the artists, in two parts!
Mr. Mago Nagasaka,
smashing it!
How wonderful!
↓↓↓
1. Opening and Guest Introduction
Program and Studio
The third guest on the "MAGO Studio" program is TERU from GLAY.
The host, MAGO, expresses excitement, saying, "An absolutely amazing guest has joined us!"
Self-introduction by TERU of GLAY
- Vocalist of GLAY, a rock band from Hakodate.
- Moved to Tokyo at 18 and debuted at 24.
- This year marks GLAY's 30th anniversary.
2. How They Met and Their Connection
First Meeting
MAGO was introduced to TERU by mutual artist friends—Japanese-style painter Hiko Otake and Venetian glass artist Yasuhiko Tsuchida—who suggested they meet.
They first met over a meal a relatively short time ago (2-3 years ago) and quickly became close.
First Impressions and Artistic Work
- TERU found MAGO’s work impactful, interesting, and felt inspired to collaborate.
- MAGO, a long-time GLAY fan who even performed in a GLAY cover band, was moved that they were able to meet TERU in person.
3. Hakodate Trip and the Swan Boat Episode
Two Men Traveling in Hakodate
MAGO and TERU visited Onuma Park in Hakodate. They planned to rent a motorboat but, due to maintenance, ended up riding a swan boat together.
Interactions During the Trip
- Tourists asked them, “Are you filming something?”
- TERU shared his experience promoting Hakodate’s charm through YouTube projects.
- They received so many souvenirs during their travels that they were laden with bags by the end of the trip.
4. Art Activities and Social Contributions
MAGO’s Artistic Endeavors
- Repurposes waste materials from global slums, like in Ghana, to create art.
- Proceeds from his work are used to improve slum conditions.
- Exhibits his work at venues like the Ueno Royal Museum and produces films to raise awareness of slum realities.
TERU’s Empathy and Interest in Collaboration
- TERU was struck by the idea that "art isn’t just about being beautiful."
- He expressed enthusiasm for creating a "song for slum eradication" in the future.
- MAGO suggested collaborating for a major exhibition.
5. “Entering the Zone” – Creative Discussions
MAGO’s Creative Style
- When a major exhibition is confirmed, energy builds up, and he enters a “zone” where he produces a large volume of work.
- He works without preliminary sketches, letting his hands move instinctively.
TERU’s Music Production Style
- Starts playing guitar early in the morning, emptying his mind to compose songs.
- During album production, he focuses intensely on songwriting for a month straight.
- Clear goals or deadlines help him enter the “zone.”
6. TERU’s Personality and MAGO’s Gratitude
TERU’s Down-to-Earth Star Quality
- TERU treats everyone—local friends, restaurant owners, etc.—the same way, without any airs of being a celebrity.
- MAGO admires his approachable and barrier-free personality.
Memorable Moments Between the Two
- MAGO felt a sense of fate as the “GLAY Museum” was built on the site of his former studio.
- An amusing anecdote involves TAKURO from GLAY downplaying this connection as mere coincidence.
7. Favorite Songs and Future Possibilities
MAGO’s Favorite GLAY Songs
- Favorites include Ikiteku Tsuyosa, Glorious, Haru wo Ai Suru Hito, SOUL LOVE, Yuuwaku, and Survival.
- He fondly recalls practicing high notes for karaoke.
Future Collaboration and Hopes
- They envision fusing art and music into a new collaborative experience.
- A song delivering a message about slum eradication or social contribution is also suggested.
Summary
Connection and Empathy
- MAGO and TERU met through mutual artist friends and deeply resonated with each other’s work.
Art and Music’s Social Role
- MAGO’s recycled art supports social causes, which TERU highly appreciates, leading to discussions about future collaborations.
Creative “Zone”
- Both share a similar approach to creating with clear goals and entering an intense state of focus.
Personality and Fate
- TERU’s affable nature, MAGO’s admiration for GLAY, and the many overlapping connections emphasize their bond.
The talk offers a glimpse into their friendship, creative processes, and gratitude toward fans, while hinting at the potential for inspiring future collaborations.
