SPIRIT's Diary

Recently, Sumikko Gurashi: Omoide Album (Memory Album) was released. Hmm? “Memories”? Does that mean this is the end of the series? It’s true that lately Sumikko Gurashi seems to have been somewhat overshadowed by Chiikawa. “Every popular work eventually fades away and gives up its place to the next generation.” Is that what’s happening here? Still, it would be a shame. Half-jokingly, I’ve even found myself thinking,  “Why not bring together San-X characters—including Sumikko Gurashi, Tarepanda, and Rilakkuma—and make a versus fighting game?” The battles might not have much intensity, but perhaps that could be turned into part of the game’s charm. (Maybe the characters would waddle around, trading little, comical punches.) If a versus fighting game sounds too conventional, perhaps they could make an RPG instead. Then again, I wonder whether San-X has the know-how to make that kind of game. (I seem to recall Gintama saying something like, “Character-based games are a breeding ground...

I should learn many things from this German travel. However, I also have to pay miscellaneous expenses. Particularly, I hadn't thought that I need such much money for public restroom in Germany. I needed 1 euro each once using. It's thankful for me to use credit cards. And, in this month too, I couldn't suspend paying for PixAI too much. If I'm as I am, I won't be able to invest forever. Anyway, I'll need over 200,000 yen as the rest paying. Should I challenge the hedge selling more? In this month, I got about 50,000 yen by it. For the public good, I've intended to invest, but what a sorry state of affairs. And, recently, I can’t sleep very miuch. I may have to enjoy my job and my investing more.

  “Of course, ordinary people do not want war. But it is always easy to get the people to take part in a war. It is very simple. All you have to do is tell them that they are under attack and openly denounce pacifists as unpatriotic people who are putting the country in danger. This method works just as well in any country.” (Attributed to Joseph Goebbels, the Nazi Minister of Propaganda, although some say it was said by Hermann Göring, Reich Marshal of Nazi Germany.) “When the Nazis came for the Communists [Note 2], I did not speak out, because I was not a Communist. When they imprisoned the Social Democrats, I did not speak out, because I was not a Social Democrat. When they came for the trade unionists, I did not speak out, because I was not a trade unionist. When they came for me, there was no one left to speak out for me.” (Martin Niemöller, German pastor) I feel that these two statements still sound a warning today. Yet the reality is that words simply do not reach some peopl...

In Hakkenden: Fiction and Reality, a movie in 2024, some have pointed out, that Inuzuka Shino (Actor: Watanabe Keisuke) and Inusaka Keno (Actor: Itagaki Rihito) are the most outstanding in Hakkenshi/The Eight Dog Warriors. More thinking, both Mr. Watanabe and Mr. Itagaki have gotten ahead from Kamen Rider Zi-O. In original work too, Shino and Keno have common points below: ・They had raised up with female-dressing. ・Their names are derived from Japanese rivers. (From Shinano River or Keno/Kinu River) However, Keno is very beautiful people suitable to female-dressing, but Shino isn't very suitable to it. According to Fusehime Yashiki (https://fusehime.la.coocan.jp/), a homepage of thinking about Hakkenden, it seems that Keno and Shino have a bad relationship. It seems, that they have sense rivalry each other because they had raised up with female-dressing commonly. On the other hand, in my projects, "Harem Protagonists as Hakkenshi/The Eight Dog Warriors" "Garupan Capt...

I received a requested illustration from Mihoniumu-san(@gupmihoniumu, key(gaigaigai123)) while I was staying in Germany. This time is, "'Seven Days of Fire' in Oarai." Tsuji Renta as Kyoshinhei/The Giant God Warrior: "Fantastic! A marvelous display, no? Ooh... HAHAHA! LOOK! THE PEOPLE ARE LIKE GARBAGE! HAHAHAHA!!" Of course, this illustration is parody of Nausicaa in The Valley of The Wind. But Tsuji Renta as Kyoshinhei/The Giant God Warrior's saying is like Muska... It's very surreal... At any rate, this illustration is like a light side dish. In next time, I requested illustrations of "Hakkenshi/The Eight Dog Warriors Series" again. It's top choice.

On a whim, by using PixAI, I generated an animation, "As Inuyama Dosetsu, both Ichijou Raku and Nishi Kinuyo are battling each other to devote Fusehime Goddess the weaker spirit." Kinuyo: "It's OK for you to kill me, Ichijou-san." Raku: "No! It's ridiculous, Nishi! Why do we have to kill each other to decide which stronger Inuyama Dosetsu?!" Come to think of it, I made that man draw an illustration, "As Inuzuka Shino, both Itou Makoto and Nishizumi Miho are attacking each other to devote Fusehime Goddess weaker one's spirit." In this time, it's "Inuyama Dosetsu's version."  If I feel like it, I may be able to generate all animations of "Each Hakkenshi/The Eight Dog Warriors." Casting of "Harem Protagonists as Hakkenshi" and "Garupan Captain Group as Hakkenshi" is below. Harem Protagonists as Hakkenshi 仁(Jin)/benevolent: Inue Shinbei: Kasugano Haruka(Yosuga No Sora): (CV: Shimono Hiro) ...
