SPIRIT's Diary

I keep paying that person to fulfill my illustration requests. I once heard somewhere that people say: “Neither illustrations nor novels are any good unless they have a strong theme.” In other words: “When requesting an illustration, the request itself also needs a strong theme.” In my case, I hope the themes with the greatest impact are: “Harem Protagonists as the Eight Dog Warriors/Hakkenshi” “Girls und Panzer Commanders as the Eight Dog Warriors/Hakkenshi” —in other words, my Eight Dog Warriors/Hakkenshi series. According to Google Gemini, a “strong theme” is: “In art and creative works, a central subject with such a powerful message that it strikes deeply at the viewer’s heart.” In the context of art and creative works—films, novels, music, and so on—it means the message or idea that the creator most strongly wants to convey through the work. Meaning: It presents a universal subject, such as “love,” “war,” or “human ego,” in a powerful and distinctive way. Characteristics: It deepl...

On some corners of the internet, there are indeed voices saying, "Hakkenden should be made into an NHK Taiga drama." If it ever happened, I would be nothing but grateful. Still, I cannot help wondering whether it is actually possible.     One factor that makes Hakkenden difficult to adapt for the screen is its sheer length. After all, the original work took twenty-eight years to complete. Considering that scale, perhaps only the running time of an NHK Taiga drama could keep up with it.   (The 2024 film Hakkenden seems to have had reasonably decent reviews.) Of course, it could also be broadcast as something like one of TV Asahi's Super Sentai series. But would children today be interested in heroes who do not transform, let alone in something close to a period drama? (Lemon-chan from Kochikame likes period dramas, though.)     In addition, while the story of Hakkenden is long, its content is fundamentally simple: good triumphs over evil. ...

To use AI more effectively, I read President in this month, the magazine. It said we should use Chat GPT, Grok and so on. But I want to get neutral information more than biased information. I think it's OK I continue to use only Chat GPT. I've forgotten, that I want to expand Hakkenden to foreigners. Now, I consult Chat GPT about how to it. Chat GPT says, "You should summarize 1-2 minutes Hakkenden's story and publish in Youtube, Tiktok and so on." "You should publicize 'Harem Protagonists as Hakkenshi' and 'Garupan Captain Group as Hakkenshi' in SNS." I obeyed the second advice, and I publicize the illustrations in X(former Twitter) . But it didn't go well. Hakkenden's story is simple, that Hakkenshi, 8 justice avengers, destroy evils and revitalize Satomi Clan. But the story is too long, and it's difficult to even visualize. It's the best for me if Hakkenden become NHK Taiga Drama. By the way, what I prefer illustrations...

I made another animation and publish in Youtube, that is " 'Harem Protagonists as Hakkenshi' and 'Garupan Captain Group as Hakkenshi' are kissing in Image Generator version".     I was troubled to make illustrations into all the same size. But these series' popular is a bit insufficient. I have to diversify variation of Hakkenden's illustrations. 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) 義(Gi/justice): Inukawa Sosuke: Manaka Junpei(Ichigo 100%): (CV: Suzumura Kenichi) 礼(Rei/courtesy): Inumura Daikaku: Yuiga Nariyuki(We Never Learn): (CV: Oosaka Ryota) 智(Chi/wisdom): Inusaka Keno: Yuuki Rito(To Love Ru): (CV: Watanabe Akino) 忠(Chuu/loyalty): Inuyama Dosetsu: Ichijou Raku(Nisekoi): (CV: Uchiyama Koki) 信(Shin/faith): Inukai Genpachi: Momonari Junta(D...

I made another animation and publish in Youtube, that is " 'Harem Protagonists as Hakkenshi' and 'Garupan Captain Group as Hakkenshi' are kissing in 8K version". But it seemed it didn't go well. So I made another animation, "60fps Version." I could generate this video by DomoAI and PowerDirector 365. Its moving is smooth. I want to make Image Generator Version. But it needs a bit time. 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) 義(Gi/justice): Inukawa Sosuke: Manaka Junpei(Ichigo 100%): (CV: Suzumura Kenichi) 礼(Rei/courtesy): Inumura Daikaku: Yuiga Nariyuki(We Never Learn): (CV: Oosaka Ryota) 智(Chi/wisdom): Inusaka Keno: Yuuki Rito(To Love Ru): (CV: Watanabe Akino) 忠(Chuu/loyalty): Inuyama Dosetsu: Ichijou Raku(Nisekoi): (CV: Uchiyama Koki) 信(Shin/faith):...

Recently, I've done nothing for spreading foreigners about Hakkenden. Hakkenden is the story, that Hakkenshi, the 8 justice samurais, destroy evils and revitarize Satomi Clan. I've already introduced Hakkenshi /8 justice samurais. I want to introduce Tamazusa, the key antagonist, next, but I have insufficient information. With more thinking, as the test type for spreading foreigners about Hakkenden, I have illustrations, "Harem Protagonists as Hakkenshi" and "Garupan Captain Group as Hakkenshi" . But I can't still use them effectively. Now, I'm planning to generate animations, " 'Harem Protagonists as Hakkenshi' and 'Garupan Captain Group as Hakkenshi' are kissing each other". I can generate them if I use Domo AI, but I don't want to watch them in the part of my soul and by some reason. However results will become, but I need to generate the animations. To spread foreigners about Hakkenden. Because the illustrations a...

I've continued to use Image Generator. At first, I want to add gorgeous effect illustrations of "Hakkenshi/Eight Dog Warriors of 'Harem Protagonists' and 'Garupan Captain Group' ". I added effect all illustrations, but will all watchers of my blog be satisfied? They're the fusion of "Japanese Edo culture" and "Cool Japan"! Over and over, I have to thank Mr.Mihoniumu-san(@gupmihoniumu, key(gaigaigai123)). Hakkenshi/The Eight Dog Warriors of “Harem Protagonists” and “Girls Und Panzer Captain Group” , based on Nanso Satomi Hakkenden/The Eight Dog Chronicles. “仁（Jin/benevolent）": Inue Shinbei: Kasugano Haruka (Yosuga No Sora) and Shimada Arisu (All-Stars University Team) : “The doctors” who scatter the wind and the medicine of immortality. Generated based on this illustration. "義（Gi/justice）": Inukawa Sousuke: Manaka Junpei (Ichigo 100%) and Nishizumi Maho (Kuromorimine Girls’ Academy) : “The servants” who is holding...

Of course, characters such as Hakkenshi in Nanso Satomi Hakkenden hasn't been known to foreigners very much. So, at first, I decided to introduce Hakkenshi, the eight heroes of Hakkenden. First, I'll introduce Inuzuka Shino, the protagonist of the first-half and the warrior of Kou （孝） /filial piety.   ・ Inuzuka Shino's character He has an orb engraved with the word "Kou （孝） " (filial piety) He has a peony birthmark on his left arm (right arm in the OVA "The Hakkenden").     The protagonist of the first half of the original Hakkenden. There is a superstition that if they switch genders until coming of age, they will grow up strong in this era. So, he was given a woman's name and raised in women's clothing. But unlike Inusaka Keno, he wasn't fittable to cross-dressing. (Though he himself did not seem to mind.)     He was engaged to his childhood friend Hamaji(she's similar to Ophelia in Hamlet), but he refused ...

  I bought “Aiming for Regional Revitalization through Tourism Destination Management”. I also want Japan to become the tourism-oriented country.     As expected, language is one of the biggest obstacles about Japan become the tourism-oriented country. For example, Kurayoshi city of Tottori Prefecture and Tateyama city of Chiba Prefecture is trying to revitalize by Hakkenden, but Both of them is imperfect of outgoing English. English outgoing of Kurayoshi Hakkenden is none, and English outgoing of Tateyama city about Hakkenden is a bit rough.     If I introduce Hakkenden, it’s that…   “ Nansou Satomi Hakkenden is the story made by Kyokutei Bakin, that justice Hakkenshi/Eight Dog Warriors destroy evils and revitalize Satomi Clans cursed by Tamazusa. Such as Inuyasha, Dragon Ball and so on, Hakkenden is resource of various comic idea. “   I don't understand whether I can lure foreigners or not by such synopsis, but anyway, It'...
