What is it that you live believing in?

As for me,
without even realizing it,
I’ve been learning so many things—

and maybe,
I’ve been building up
a kind of personal religion of my own?!

The Answer Is Enjoyment. The Compass Is Your Dreams.

Takumi-san 😆🙌

Thank you so much for joining us yesterday at the Tokyo screening of the film “Iiyan” and for your appearance in the special talk live!

The three-way collaboration talk was overflowing with warm, friendly energy, and the entire venue was wrapped in the best atmosphere—everyone truly became one.
The resonance among you was so perfectly aligned that two and a half hours flew by in an instant.

We tend to chase after the “right answers” or “know-how,” but this reminded me once again that what really matters most is connection and bonds.

It was such a joy that you could watch the film with us, too. I’m truly grateful for your participation😭.
All the answers lie within ourselves, and through dialogue with ourselves and others, we come to understand each other, grow closer, and experience happiness.

“Whether you choose A, or whether you choose B—if it’s your choice, then it’s all good!!”
This phrase of acceptance has been the greatest source of healing for me personally.
I want to continue speaking words of acceptance to myself and to those around me.

Yesterday you saw the 76-minute version of the film, but we’ve also produced a 41-minute version that can be shown in schools.
We hope it will reach as many children as possible and contribute to building a better society.

During the talk live, one common theme among all three speakers was gratitude to their mothers.
It was filled with stories I’d never heard before. After all, one thing all of humanity shares is being born from a mother.
I strongly felt how the everyday moments and words we take for granted later become life’s greatest treasures.

Lastly, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for being able to host such a precious opportunity.
I’m looking forward to the day I can once again share the space and time with the three of you together!

With gratitude,
Masamin

After 12 Years, the Three of Us Talked Again—Pure Fun!

↓↓↓ Highlights ↓↓↓

Cross Talk (Ayumu Takahashi × Daisuke Yosumi × Takumi Yamazaki)

By digging deep, you can weave words that reach anyone.

↓↓↓
At first, it’s fine if it’s just for self-satisfaction.
Keep digging into the “intention” of your heart, and the work begins to connect with others like an underground water vein—eventually expanding into something universal.

↓↓↓
Being so immersed that people call you “otaku / crazy” creates the critical point where support and hits are born.

Exploring Patterns
A thinking habit of finding the “simple laws” that run through the world and yourself.

The Daily Power of Questions Shapes Sensitivity and Action
The influence of Ayumu’s mother’s education and questioning.

↓↓↓
The family dinner table classics:

“Did anything good happen today?”
“Was there a kid in trouble?”
“What kind of face did 〇〇-chan have?”
＊Every day, his mother would ask questions that highlighted the presence of children who otherwise went unnoticed.

Not searching for the right answer,
but having the power to make the choice you made into the right one.

The “Double-Lock Secret Notebook”
Safely putting words to darkness and anxiety.

↓↓↓
Always closing with: “OK, now just do it.”
Example: Writing down, “What is this hazy feeling?” and clearing away the clouds in your heart.

What You Input Before Bed Shapes Thought Patterns?!
Sometimes you can’t sleep because of anxiety.
That’s why you go to bed imagining yourself as a Shonen Jump hero.

Uninhabited Island Trips & Documentaries

↓↓↓
Taking children who need wheelchairs or medical equipment to an uninhabited island.
Deciding to turn “impossible” into “I’ll do it” → friends and resources gather → documenting it snowballs into a film.
Even the directors faced first-time challenges (equipment, process, funding, time), overcoming them in a true “field of creation."

With the ultra-rapid evolution of AI,
10-year plans are hard to lock in.
That’s why the best strategy is execution in the “here and now”—
learn fast, improve fast.

Hit songs vs.
songs that are still sung today.

↓↓↓

The ones written for just one person—
those are the words that pierce the heart.
