SPIRIT's Diary

On the 19th, Prime Minister Takaichi dissolved the House of Representatives, and it has been decided that a House election will be held with voting and counting on February 8. Wanting to fight an election you can win is only human, so perhaps the idea is to solidify the governing base while support for the Takaichi Cabinet is still high. (Right now it’s a minority ruling party, after all.) Well, my mother is complaining nonstop, though. She’s disliked Prime Minister Takaichi for a long time, and she likes Mr. Tōru Tamagawa. However, at this point, the Constitutional Democratic Party and Komeito have moved closer together, and a Centrist Reform Coalition has been formed. Whether that becomes the detonator for a realignment of the political world remains to be seen. That said, as those people often argue, it may be necessary to revise the electoral system itself and aim for a moderate multiparty system (a multiparty system with small ideological differences between parties). (Still, even...

Again, I requested Mihoniumu-san(@gupmihoniumu, key(gaigaigai123)) an illustration. In this time, it's "As Inukawa Sosuke, Manaka Junpei and Nishizumi Maho are showing the orb of ''Gi（義）/justice". Junpei and Maho: We’re Inukawa Sosuke Yoshito. We have the orb of “Gi（義）/justice.” Now I think about it more, both Junpei and Maho are "the legend". Junpei is "the legend" of harem protagonists (perhaps also as the protagonist of Jump Comics) Maho is "the legend" of Senshado. However, why have I casted them as the plainest part of Hakkenshi/The Eight Dog Warriors? Even me, I don't understand. In next times, I requested Mihoniumu--san illustration, of pairs of Inuyama Dosetsu(Ichijou Raku and Nishi Kinuyo). How will be the quality? 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...

One of the key phrases in Nansou Satomi Hakkenden is "Hattoku （八徳） /The Eight Virtue". In other words, ・仁（ Jin/benevolent ） ・義（ Gi/justice ） ・礼（ Rei/courtesy ） ・智（ Chi/wisdom ） ・忠（ Chuu/loyalty ） ・信（ Shin/faith ） ・孝（ Kou/filial piety ） ・悌（ Tei/brotherhood ） Of course, these virtues have been derived Confucian, but the history is shorter term comparively. However, in Edo period of Japan, they were common in society, and bad people (particularly, people buying women) had been called as "Bouhachi （忘八） /people forgetting 'Hattoku'".     I wanted to know about origin of Hattoku, so I consulted Chat GPT again.     According to it, at first, there were five virtues by Mencius and Dong Zhongshu below: " 仁 ", " 義 ", " 礼 ", " 智 " and " 信 " They had been called as "Gojo （五常） /Five Constant Virtue". After long time, it was said early confucian texts, " 忠 ", ...

Yesterday, as dinner, I cooked again. In this time, I made Cheese gyoza. My mother recommended that I need more vegetables, so she added carrots and a strawberry. At any rate, my made cuisine's article is a far more popular than Hakkenden and Garupan related articles. At a glance, many cuisines look tasteless. It seems many people prefer watching Japanese citizens's cuisine. Is it the best for me to feature ingenious cuisine for featuring my blog?

“She ran across the battlefield in her white form, cutting even the strongest enemy with a single blow.  She was respected by her allies as a spiritual pillar, and feared by her enemies, who called her the "White Devil."” Honestly, I want Nishizumi Miho to be called as so, particularly "Nishizumi Miho as Inuzuka Shino". Preface is long, but I'll introduce the impression of Girls Und Panzer Motto Love Love Tactics 1st Chapter. Honestly, it's made very well as taking breaks. Particularly, the story that Miho and Itsumi Erika become lost children was very heartful. The figure that Miho and Erika is taking their hands was very cute! This movie was made the story chosen from the best story in original works. I thought we didn't need three times opening and ending, but Anchovy who was pushed around by Anzio students was very cute! Anchovy's funny faces who meet BC Freedom Highschool's student is also very good. In Motto Love Love Tactics, Anchovy is th...

In original work and so on, Inuzuka Shino, the first hero of Hakkenden, is portrayed, as the master of learning and martial, serious, dignified and talented man. But some fanfiction emphasizes his dumb. In OVA "The Hakkenden" and Ms. Aomata Pinku's comics "Hakkenden", Inuzuka Shino is portrayed as very dazed man. Ms. Aomata said, "Among Hakkenshi, only Shino is likely to stomp the dog's poo when they're walking the street." （By the way, I think it's also suitable to both Itou Makoto and Nishizumi Miho.） And The book,"Bakusho Hakkenden（日本語：爆笑八犬伝）/Laughing Hakkenden" said "Inuzuka Shino's cross-dressing is goofy rather than filial. In original work, Shino became the master of learning and martial and the one man army when he was a child, but he's somewhere goofy. For example, ・He had rided his dog instead of the horse ・He hadn't noticed he hadn't been suitable his cross-dressing. ・For 3 weeks, he hadn't take...

Recently, my life has been self-indulgent. I haven't made any days of no drinking and my weight hasn't decreased. I often go to ChocoZAP with my father again. It can't be helped because my metabolism energy has decreased on account of becoming about 40s. However, I've thought after I had gotten a illustration "Itou Makoto and Nishizumi Miho, as Inuzuka Shino, are showing orbs of ''Kou（孝）/filial piety" by Mihoniumu-san(@gupmihoniumu, key(gaigaigai123)) I've wanted to expand Japanese culture such as Hakkenden, sumo and so on, for making Japan an oriented-tourism country. I've understood I can't do it in a short time. For it, I have to maintain both my physical strength and my energy. I have to become healthy by losing weight and so on. I have to skip eating Famichiki and drinking liquor. But can I do it now?

Kenkaku Heiki, the new enemy of Kenshin, has appeared in Hokkaido Arc. In English, they are called as below: (Reference: Fandom(https://kenshin.fandom.com/wiki/Kenkaku_Heiki)) Commanders Itekura Byakuya: The Eccentric Kanzato Gouto: The Supreme Fuyukai : The Benevolent Shimonji Rurio: The Gem Reisen: The Strange Troopers subordinated by Itekura Doi Mogura: The Earth Gonguu Gougou: The Fake Amachi Mikoto: The Wisdom Isagawa Itoi: unknown Troopers subordinated by Shimonji Ono Tomitaka: The Axe Honda Udoku: The Record Recently, we found troopers' name subordinated by Kanzato. Perhaps, we should call them as Tatsuse Yuusei: The Flying Tadokoro Rokuro: The Love Surenda Manji: The Sting It seems that the names of Kenkaku Heiki in English are a bit different to Japanese in Fandom.

To expand Hakkenden to foreigners, I've started to use Reddit. Because Chat GPT recommended me to use Reddit to expand Hakkenden. I've not understood yet, how the difference is between X(former Twitter) and Reddit. But, anyway, I have to do everything to expand Hakkenden to foreigners. At first, I joined a community of Girls Und Panzer's fans. And I introduced illustrations, "Garupan Captain Group as Hakkenshi" . I've been happy for illustrations to become a bit popular. But, more and more, I can't say much about "Harem Protagonists as Hakkenshi" . How and where will I introduce them? Anyway, I have to become more serious if I want to expand Hakkenden to foreigners. I also have to use MyAnimeList, DeviantArt and so on.

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):...

 I published this video in Niconico Douga. "'Harem Protagonists as Hakkenshi' and 'Garupan Captain Group as Hakkenshi' are kissing." https://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm45383163   At first, I wanted to make this video by only Domo AI. But, by Domo AI, I couldn't generate animations very well, about "Yuiga Nariyuki and Mika as Inumura Daikaku" and "Ichijou Raku and Nishi Kinuyo as Inuyama Dosetsu". So I use PixAI instead for them.     The image quality is a bit rough, isn't it? I'm making 8K image quality version now, I think about image quality this time. Casting of  "Harem Protagonists as Hakkenshi"  and  "Garupan Captain Group as Hakkenshi"  is below.

I had forgotten that I reserved APA Hotel in Osaka in Oct for EXPO 2025. Immediately, I cancelled it, and changed Toyoko INN my father has recommended. At one time, I thought I give up to go to EXPO 2025. Because, this month too, I spent much money such as DomoAI, AI Video generating system over 30000 yen. But after it, I got over by some reasons. I decided to go to Osaka EXPO 2025 in October. Seeing is believing.     More thinking, I had forgotten I want to watch Italian Pavilion the best.     Anyway, I want to make Japan an oriented-tourism country. As the method for it, EXPO is not bad. It's not bad for me to go to EXPO 2025 and review it.  

In Osaka, there is The Sumo Hall Hirakuza Osaka, which is the venue promote fascination of Sumo. It's near of Hanshin Railway/Kintetsu Railway "Osaka-Namba Station". The homepage is “https://hirakuza.net/”     It's said it often holds sumo shows and sumo workshop experience. And it introduces history of Japanese sumo.     To introduce sumo-related places such as The Sumo Hall Hirakuza is also to inform sumo's fascination, isn't it?     On the way going to Osaka EXPO 2025, Should I go to The Sumo Hall Hirakuza? Because I want to know about sumo more, to introduce sumo's fascination.

I went to Eko-in Temple, the venue of promotional sumo in Edo period when I went to Tateyama, Hakkenden-related places, on the way. Since it, I've become interested in sumo a bit. However, my knowledge doesn't reach level of Koukakuka （日本語：好角家） / a sumo fan. After all, I'm a bandwagon fan.     But sumo is one of Japanese Culture. I also want to inform foreigners of Zabuton No Mai/The Dance of Japanese Cushion, which is that watchers throw Japanese cushions when it occurs giant-killing. Recently, Giant-killing occured, that Kotoshoho, the maegashira, defeated Ohnosato, the yokozuna.     In Edo period, people went through Shin-Ohashi Bridge, walked alongside Sumida River and went through Ryogoku Bridge when they watched sumo in Eko-in Temple. I went through the same route and felt like people in Edo period, but after all, I'm a bandwagon fan.

In Edo period, Kanjin Sumo（日本語：勧進相撲）/promotional sumo was taking place in Eko-in Temple, for 5 minutes by walking from JR Ryogoku Sta. The origin of Eko-in Temple was that no-relation buddhism in Meireki Grand Flame was buried. But few people have known it. Eko-in Temple has been famous for Kanjn Sumo of spring and autumn and Nezumi Kozo Jirokichi's grave. After Tenpo Era, Sumo was decided to take place in Eko-in Temple for each 10 days of spring and autumn. So sumo wrestlers was said, "Ichinen wo hatsuka de kurasu ii otoko（日本語：1年を20日で暮らすいい男）/the good men who can make their living by only 20 days". As the taste of people in Edo period, when they wanted to watch sumo in Eko-in Shrine, it was said they intended to walk across Shin-Ohashi Bridge and walk alongside Sumida River and walk across Ryogoku Bridge . About 4 years ago, I walked the same way, but I was tired because of detouring. There are various graves for various life, including animals. Chikarazuka（日本語：力塚）, which...

In the third day to go to Hakkenden-related place, and in the day to return to Sendai, I went to Daimaru in Tokyo. And I went to Nihonbashi Isesada and ate the eal bowl. The eal had sufficient fat to be able to eat deliciously. And it was very soft. I could eat deliciously. The value in Tokyo is very expensive. And the value of this eal bowl was over 6,000 yen. But I've thought it has sufficient value to be paid. In the third day, under very hot climate, I went to Artizon Museum in Nihonbashi. But I've not remembered very well. Because hot climate was very strong. I should have taken pictures to exhibitions.

Under very hot place, for 20 minutes by taxi, I went to former Takita Castle. In this place, fighting starvation, Satomi clans was fighting the enemy. Yatsufusa, Satomi's magical dog, bat and killed enemy's commander and helped Satomi clan. But as the reward, Satomi clan had to give Princess Fuse to Yatsufusa as marridge. However, now, in this place, I couldn't look this story at all. There is a natural observatory place, but I couldn't go to it. The taxi driver also hasn't recognized. From there, for 10 minutes by taxi, there is Yatsufusa's statue. It's heroically. There is also Satomi clan's graves nearby it. I'm impressed, because Satomi Yoshizane, the lord of Hakkenshi/The Eight Dog Warriors, has being slept. Returning Tateyama, to dodge to become heat stroke, I stayed and took a nap in the hotel for 30 minutes. After it, by a taxi, for 10 minutes, I went to Tateyama Castle. Tateyama Castle was diligent and beautiful. In it, it introduced Hakkend...

This day was sunny and too hot despite forecasting cloudy and a bit rainy. For 10 minutes by a taxi from JR Iwai Station, I went to Fusehime Rouketsu （日本語：伏姫籠穴） /Fusehime Caves. Tateyama is rural, so it's inconvenient for me because I have to use a taxi to go to Satomi-related places.     Fusehime Rouketsu is the place that Fusehime, the spiritual mother of Hakkenshi/The Eight Dog Warriors, was staying with Yatsufusa, the big and mystery dog. When she was staying there, she became pregnant with Yatsufusa's children. In this point, someone said Hakkenden may be similar to Macbeth. Eventually, these children was Jingi-Hachigyo's （日本語：仁義八行） orbs. These orbs reached Hakkenshi soon. This Hakkenshi, eight justice samurai, destroyed evils   and revitalized Satomi Clan, Fusehime's family.     Fusehime Rouketsu is surrounded by deep forests, and silent and cooler than in JR Iwai Station. The Green color of Forests' leaves was mysterious. Wh...

In the first day of travel to Kyokutei Bakin and Hakkenden-related place, I walked around in Tokyo capital. Kyokutei Bakin lived in Fukagawa, the central of Edo. But his grave is in Zojo Temple, 5 minutes walking from Tokyo Metro Myougatani Sta. Bakin's son and wife passed away before Bakin died. Bakin's sorrow was incredible. In this point, some said Bakin is similar to Mark Twain. In Zojo Temple, it was too hot but silent. But Bakin's grave can't be sufficiently maintained. The flower was corrupted. Zojo Temple may be the symbol of Bakin, so it's NG. I was likely to hot stroke; I immediately returned and bought 500ml water. Should I have poured Bakin's grave the water? For 3 minutes walking from JR Shinanomachi Sta, there is Bakin's death place. But now, it has no trace left. Bakin passed away when he wrote "Kinseisetsu Bishounen Roku（近世説美少年録）" It's said that Kinseisetsu Bishounen Roku wasn't a moralistic novel, near to modern novels. Tsu...
