What Kind of Person Should I Have Become?

Image
Yesterday, I heard about the sudden death of a friend of my father’s. I also nearly nodded off at the office where I work, and the persistent diarrhea I’ve been dealing with lately still hasn’t stopped. All of this got me thinking about a lot of things. “What kind of person should I have become?” Even at the age of 40, I’m still emotionally unstable. I can’t seem to break free from alcohol, and the severe daytime sleepiness I experience only makes my instability worse. And if my relationships with other people deteriorate further, perhaps I could even end up stabbing someone or setting them on fire. I might end up with repeated criminal convictions or cases in which charges are not brought against me, like Mamoru Takuma or Kaoru Kobayashi. Looking back, I feel that my extraordinary aggressiveness has been there since I was very young. When I was still a small child living in Chiba, a friend once came over to play and brought his older sister with him. But I got into an argument with hi...

Introducing Kurayoshi Hakkenden -Inuzuka Kyoya(日本語:犬塚孝弥)'s Edition-

Image
There is revitalizing-town project "Kurayoshi Hakkenden" in Kurayoshi City of Tottori which the last lord of Satomi had lived his later years in. However, unfortunately, renewing of the homepage has stopped since 2023. Doesn't it go well? Then, I think I have to introduce Kurayoshi Hakkenden by English. But their names of Hakkenshi/The Eight Dog Warriors in Kurayoshi Hakkenden are a bit different to theirs in original work. At first, I'll introduce Inuzuka Kyoya, the warriors of 孝(Kou/fillial piety).(By the way, in original work, his name is Inuzuka Shino.) (Come of think of it, I should have begun it rather than "Harem Protagonists as Hakkenshi" and "Garupan Captain Group as Hakkenshi".) ・Inuzuka Kyoya(日本語:犬塚孝弥)’s Character(CV: Akabane Kenji) He is one of "the Eight Dog Warriors" (Hakkenshi), he bears the sacred jewel of "Filial Piety" (Kō).  He is a passionate, hot-blooded young man with an insatiable curiosity who throws hims...

As Sponsorship, I Devoted 10,000 Yens for Satomi Community Development Executive Committee.

Image
Today, finally, I devoted 10,000 yen to Satomi Community Development Executive Committee as sponsorship. And I applied whether I could use illustrations of Tateyama Hakkenshi or not. In my home, I don't have FAX, I had to go to the nearest Family Mart and use the FAX machine in it. I've told myself repeatedly that I have to both be consistent and stick my principles as an adult. My final goal is, that I'll make more foreigners loving Hakkenden go to Tateyama and make Japan the oriented-tourism country, isn't it? Tateyama Hakkenshi is official from Tateyama local government, so I have to promote it with English more, rather than my project "Harem Protagonists as Hakkenshi" and "Garupan Captain Group as Hakkenshi" . Anyway, I have to get permission to use illustrations of Tateyama Hakkenshi. For future, I also have to think about how to promote Tateyama Hakkenshi. Of course, in both this blog and SNS, I have to use more English for it. However, I also...

Kurayoshi Hakkenden and Tateyama Hakkenshi

Image
It's hit me how Kurayoshi Hakkenden produced by Kurayoshi City in Tottori Prefecture has become until now, and I went to its homepage. However, it's stopped renewing since 2023. It's too bad for me. Come of think of it, both homepages of Kurayoshi Hakkenden and Tateyama Hakkenshi aren't written with English. To invite foreign travelers, it's no good. When I consulted to Chat GPT about it, Chat GPT said, that Kurayoshi Tourism and MICE Association introduced Kurayoshi Hakkenden in English Tourism brochure in 2024 and Tateyama City Museum introduced Nanso Satomi Hakkenden by English. But both of them introduced by mainly Japanese language I love English, so can I contribute to make English homepage for both of them? Chat GPT recommended me, that I will provide draft translations for English-language content, such as website descriptions and social media posts to managing organizations. However, can they permit it to me? Anyway, today, I'll consult with Satomi Comm...

Tateyama Hakkenshi

  Community Development in Satomi Gather Round of “Tateyama Hakkenshi” ( https://tateyamacity.com/satomi/%E3%80%8C%E9%A4%A8%E5%B1%B1%E5%85%AB%E7%8A%AC%E5%A3%AB%E3%80%8D%E5%8B%A2%E6%8F%83%E3%81%84%EF%BC%81%EF%BC%81/ ) Recently, I noticed there is Satomi Community Development Executive Committee, which hold various events in Tateyama and created "Tateyama Hakkenshi(日本語:館山八犬士)" Come of think of it, my goal of my plan, that I expand Hakkenden to foreigners, is both  that we make many foreigners loving Hakkenden come to Tateyama and  that we make Japan the oriented-tourism country. So, me too, want to introduce Tateyama and "Tateyama Hakkenshi". My project, "Harem Protagonists as Hakkenshi" and "Garupan Captain Group as Hakkenshi ", is only prototypes to expand Hakkenden to foreigners more effectively. I shouldn't miss my real goal. However, to introduce and activate Tateyama Hakkenshi, I have to write an application document and send it to Tatey...

I’ve Become 40 Years Old, But I’m Still Immature.

Image
Yesterday, I've become 40 years old, but I'm still immature. I can't still stop drinking alcohol too much. However, I can suspend paying PixAI a bit.  I have to tie up loose ends of German travel. But my cash is insufficient. Should I sell equity of ANA? Yesterday, I went to sleep apnea clinic and my medications of hypertension have increased. I need more money for medications for hypertension. If I'm as I am, I can no more invest, can't I? My mother recommends me that I'll take TOEIC examination again. But, recently, I've not studied English sufficiently. Will I reduce TOEIC score? I'm wondering whether I'll take examination Generative AI Passport instead. Because AI such as Chat GPT will become important to me, to collect information. At first, what should I do? I also want to unwind in Hanamaki Hot Springs, for 3 days. But I have insufficient money. On second thoughts, should I sell equity of ANA?

I Want Not to Make Hakkenden Lose to Shodo, as Japanese Culture.

Image
NHK World Japan Japanese calligraphy nominated for UNESCO listing (https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/news/20261105de70720/) On Nov. 5th, UNESCO nominated "Shodo(日本語:書道)/Japanese Calligraphy" as Intangible Cultural Heritage. It made me very surprised because I also want to expand Japanese culture to foreigners more. (Now, I'm concentrating Hakkenden only.) Among Japanese culture, I love Hakkenden the most, but until now, I've not been interested in Shodo very well. I had often done Shodo when I was an elementary school student, but "Bokujuu/Japanese calligraphy ink" often dirtied my clothes, so it made me very nasty. To be honest, I want no more do Shodo. But it would be good if I can inform attraction of Shodo to foreigners by myself. As Japanese culture, I want to hold Hakkenden its own certainly against Shodo. With this thinking, I consult to Chat GPT whether I should introduce Shodo than Hakkenden to foreigners or not. Chat GPT’s answer was, Why not introdu...
