Sapporo was a fun time! (lol)

 

 

Last night, I set foot in Susukino, Sapporo.
It's a theater of so-called “new half” performers.


A vulgar person would either sneer, “Isn't that just men dressed up as women?” or else goggle in disbelief. But you who harbor such foolish prejudice—go, just once, into that darkness. Then, stunned, you will lose all words at how fragile your shallow understanding was. After all, what is there is a beauty that is cold, and absolute.


I have long had a weakness for the illusion of the stage, where truth and fiction intermingle. And if I could exchange words with people who stray just slightly from the world's usual path, and immerse myself in their vivid feast, what greater pleasure could there be? The mediocre circuits of thought that ruled my brain collapsed with a crash, and were reassembled in a strange new shape.


Even this morning, after a night's sleep, that gorgeous afterimage will not leave my mind. Amid a faint dizziness and bewilderment, I feel the foundation of my spirit—which I had never doubted was solid—being shaken to its roots.


—If this isn't the moment when your fortune leaps up from the very depths of your soul, what is?
To all of you who breathed the same air in that space last night and became accomplices in its uncanny beauty.
Fellow witnesses of the incident, partners in a nighttime rendezvous, comrades who kept in step on the suspension bridge.
I wholeheartedly praise here the bewitching bond of that night, full of its eerie density.

 


Are those swaying bodies silicone, or saline?

 

 

I can't help wondering what her school days were like.

 

 

The men who dance, the women who sway…

 

 

Magic at will.

 

 

A technique without reason.

 

 

Is it really okay to get such a luxurious time at such a price?!

 

 

The calculator in my head is glitching.

 

 

Even things I'm experiencing for the first time get absorbed instantly, and I'm drawn in with deep delight.

 

 

Fight the witch with candy as your weapon.

 

 

One after another, the tales of the Thousand and One Nights race by, along with the rush in my brain.

 

 

Joyful hours, lasting until late at night?!

 

 

Takumi Yamazaki's face of joy (lol)

 

 

Ahaha (lol)

The Atami Retreat Was a Wonderful Time. Sad News: The Atami Cafe I Loved Has Closed.

Reflections on the Atami retreat.

 

Stories each of us has lived separately cross here in Atami.

 

Each person's antenna of curiosity picked up a frequency they love, and their life began to move.

 

The waves sing, the clouds make a racket, the blue sky smiles, a dog barks...

 

Here in Atami, the land draws close to people's hearts and turns laughter into a light that illuminates the future.

 

Connected AI becomes an electronic brain that links us to the world.

 

We learned together, ate together, played in the sea, and captured each other's shadows in photos.

 

 

Live freely.

A certain high priest once declared... "Life has no meaning."

 

Isn't that a shocking thing to say?!

There is no meaning in life.

People seek meaning, search for it, and suffer.

 

If there is no meaning, then let's simply exist in the present and enjoy the present moment.

 

Does an electronic brain dream?

Do you paint your dreams?

Will I live in my dreams?

 

 

What we love melts into space-time, spreads, and is passed on.

Time in Atami is exceptional, special, and has a tremendous impact on our lives.

 

Take this!

And launch fireworks of intention into the pure white world above your head!

 

 

At night, we went to a craft gin shop.

SEACLIFF Atami Distillery

 

 

Kama-chan!

It's wonderful!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What a lovely place!

Atami's secret bar!

 

 

The Italian dinner was delicious, too!

 

 

 

 

How to take photos

How to be photographed

 

 

We did how to draw, too!

 

 

 

And then, something so sad...

The Atami cafe I loved had closed down.

 

 

cafe kichi

 

 

 

 

 

So sad!

 

 

This place is full of memories.

 

Twenty years ago, going into this cafe is what made me think,

"I want a place in Atami!"

 

 

Ah~

Somehow, it feels so lonely~

 

 

 

The other day, at the

movie "Yaruki no Switch (The Motivation Switch)"

 

volunteer staff's

wrap party~~~

 

 

Thank you so much!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Salmon arrived from Hokkaido~~~

 

 

Nami-chan, congratulations on your publication!
