Hakkenshi/The Eight Dog Warriors of “Harem Protagonists”!? or “Garupan Captain Group”!? -Extra Edition: “Inukawa Sosuke” of Manaka Junpei and Nishizumi Maho-3

Image
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...

The Origin of "Hattoku/The Eight Virtue".

Image
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 ", ...

I’ve Continued to Try and Error My Video Compilation-134 : The Duel of Horyukaku/Horyu Tower by Harem Protagonists, from Nansou Satomi Hakkenden-2

Image
By Image Generator (former PixAI) V3.2 and Domo AI, I generated an animation, that The Duel of Horyukaku/Horyu Tower by Harem Protagonists from Nansou Satomi Hakkenden again.     Itou Makoto as Inuzuka Shino and Momonari Junta as Inukai Genpachi are battling on the roof. I've been surprised that we can add voice and sound into animations in Image Generator. I wanted to hear Namba Keiichi and Hirakawa Daisuke's voice from this animation. Even if I've understood it's impossible. 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/loya...

I’ve Continued to Try and Error My Video Compilation-133: The Duel of Horyukaku/Horyu Tower by Garupan Captain Group, from Nansou Satomi Hakkenden-2

Image
Since long time, I've not used Image Generator (the former PixAI). So, until now, I've not known, that we can add sound and voice into animations made by Image Generator and V3.2. I think it's derived from Sora 2, but I'm very surprised! By Image Generator V 3.2, I generated an animation from "The Duel of Horyukaku(日本語:芳流閣)/Horyu Tower by Garupan Captain Group" , based on Nanso Satomi Hakkenden again. I've been very surprised for voice and sound added suitable to the illustration. But, as I think, it's difficult to actual Yoshioka Maya and Fuchigami Mai's voice, isn't it? Of course, I'll generate an animation "The Duel of Horyukaku/Horyu Tower by Harem Protagonists" . But it seems that it needs much time.

I Think It's Made Very Well as Taking Breaks -Impression of Girls Und Panzer Motto Love Love Tactics 1st Chapter-

Image
“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...

Nanso Satomi Hakkenden: Is Inuzuka Shino Talented or Goofy?

Image
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...

Makoto and Miho: We're Inuzuka Shino Moritaka. we have the orb of "Kou(孝)/filial piety".- Please don't point out why Hakkenshi are in pairs. They're Hakkenshi of beautiful boys and girls. In next time, I'll request Inukawa Sosuke pairs (Manaka Junpei and Nishizumi Maho). How will be the quality? Casting of  "Harem Protagonists as Hakkenshi"  and  "Garupan Captain Group as Hakkenshi"  is below.

Is Nanso Satomi Hakkenden Super Sentai/Power Rangers in Japanese Edo Period?

Image
Some says,  "Nanso Satomi Hakkenden is Super Sentai/Power Rangers in Japanese Edo Period." According to my theory, they're similar but different. They are both moralistic tales. However, Super Sentai/Power Rangers feature their teamwork most. But inversely, they're not invincible if they're not unite completely. In contrast, Hakkenshi/Eight Dog Warriors, 8 heroes in Nanso Satomi Hakkenden, are one man army even if they're alone. I questioned Chat GPT whether Hakkenden and Super Sentai/Power Rangers is similar or not. It introduced both similar points and different points. Similar points ・Ensemble “team” structure: Hakkenden is fundamentally about assembling a destined group of heroes; Sentai is also team-centric. ・Clear “signature identities”: Sentai uses colors/suits/roles; Hakkenden uses names/marks/beads/virtues to distinguish and bind the heroes. ・Quest / gathering arc: the “find the others / unite the party” dynamic will feel familiar if you like team-for...

At first time, in Ropia, I Bought A Prepared Dish.

Image
Ropia Sendai Store, one of supermarkets in Japan, is adjacent to JR Sendai Station. We can use only cash, so I've not been interested in Ropia until now. But, I have little cash, and for changing mind, so I went to Ropia after I had gone to alcohol hospital. In Ropia, katsudon, pizza and so on looked very delicious and big. But katsudon looked most delicious, so I bought with 500 yen. And I bought 2000ml of milk, so I needed 834 yen. But, it was cheaper than other supermarkets and conveinience stores. I'm straying how to save money. But I think, that it's good of buying cheap and much meals in Ropia and spend money for travel most. But, recently, my desire to go to Germany has lost interest. I could collect half of money for German travel nevertheless. Anyway, to save money, I may have to go to Ropia, not convenience store nearby my home.

I've begun to use Reddit.

Image
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’ve Continued to Try and Error My Video Compilation-129: “Harem Protagonists as Hakkenshi” and “Garupan Captain Group as Hakkenshi” Are Kissing Ver 2.

Image
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.

I’ve Continued to Try and Error My Video Compilation-128: “Harem Protagonists as Hakkenshi” and “Garupan Captain Group as Hakkenshi” Are Kissing.

 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.

Recently, I've done nothing for spreading foreigners about Hakkenden.

Image
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...

How to Fascinate Foreigners by Attraction of Sumo

Image
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.

Hakkenshi/The Eight Dog Warriors of "Harem Protagonists"!? or "Garupan Captain Group"!? -Extra Edition: Clash!! The Duel in Horyukaku/Horyu Tower!!-

Image
 I made Mr. Mihoniumu-san(@gupmihoniumu, key(gaigaigai123)) draw two illustrations, "The Duel in Horyu Tower", which is the duel of Inukai Genpachi and Inuzuka Shino. Momonari Junta as Inukai Genpachi and Itou Makoto as Inuzuka Shino version Junta as Genpachi: Wow, look at you!! What's your name? Makoto as Shino: Itou Makoto...No actually...INUZUKA SHINO MORITAKA!! Anchovy as Inukai Genpachi and Nishizumi Miho as Inuzuka Shino version Anchovy as Genpachi: Wow, look at you! What’s your name? Miho as Shino: Nishizumi Miho..No actually..INUZUKA SHINO MORITAKA!! Actually, the duel of Horyukaku/Horyu Tower occurred in sweltering heat in the day of summer. In their illustrations, the duel is described in the night, but please don't worry about the details. Such as Hakkenden, Kanjin Sumo and so on, I may prefer Japanese Edo culture. Please also show this video. This is the Battle in Horyukaku/Horyu Tower in Satomi Hakkenden(2006), TBS special drama. Like these things, with m...

I've Become Interested in Sumo A Bit.

Image
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.

Trivia: Eko-in Temple, in Ryogoku in Japan.

Image
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...

Is My Best Way to Relieve My Stress That I Drink Liquor And Relaxed?

Image
Yesterday, I went to Soyogi No Mori/Breeze of Forest in Ayashi again. I ate Unagi bowl, drunk the beer, and relaxed in the bath. If I can't travel, my best way to relieve my stress may be that I drink liquor and relaxed for long time. But, recently, I can't put the day to rest the liver. Addiction of alcohol is terrifying. The other way to relieve my stress is that I generate illustration by PixAI. But, recently, I have no idea about what I want to generate illustrations. I've become interested in Rocky, so I want to generate illustration that Garupan Captain Group is jogging, boxing  and so on. In this case, Anchovy is boxing.

Unagi in Isesada of Daimaru in Tokyo.

Image
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.

The Second Day of Travel for Kyokutei Bakin and Hakkenden-related Places-2.

Image
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...
