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...

 I decided to write this article with English entirely. I'm happy to be able to gather round of the illustrations, "Hakkenshi/The Eight Dog Warriors of 'Harem Protagonists' and 'Garupan Captain Group' ", showing their orbs version. As 8 groups and 16 people, I'll show all of illustrations and their concepts. They're the fusion of "Japanese Edo culture" and "Cool Japan"! I must thank too much, 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. "義（Gi/justice）": Inukawa Sosuke: Manaka Junpei (Ichigo 100%) and Nishizumi Maho (Kuromorimine Girls’ Academy) : “The servants” who is holding...

Again, I requested Mihoniumu-san(@gupmihoniumu, key(gaigaigai123)) an illustration. This time is, “As Inue Shinbei, Kasugano Haruka and Shimada Arisu are showing orbs of 仁(Jin/benevolent) Haruka and Arisu: We’re Inue Shinbei Masashi. We have orbs of 仁(Jin/benevolent). Finally, I've collected illustrations 8 pairs and 16 people. I want to show gather round of these pictures soon. They are very cool! HAKKENSHI! FIGHT FOR JUSTICE!! 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/fai...

Again, I requested Mihoniumu-san(@gupmihoniumu, key(gaigaigai123)) an illustration. This time is, “As Inumura Daikaku, Yuiga Nariyuki and Mika are showing orbs of ‘礼(Rei/courtesy)’.” Nariyuki and Mika: We are Inumura Daikaku Masanori. We have orbs of 礼(Rei/courtesy). In my original setting, Inumura Daikaku is only type, that he launches attack with hiding his weapon, in outside of line of battle, like Honda Udoku in Rurouni Kenshin Hokkaido Arc. I think both Nariyuki and Mika are suitable to this setting. I t would be the best, if Hakkensh/Eight Dog Warriors have various type. Some fight fiercely on the front line. (Inuzuka Shino? Inuta Kobungo?) Some destroy enemies by surprise moving from the rear line. (Inuyama Dosetsu? Inusaka Keno?) In next times, I requested an illustration of "Inue Shinbei pair (Kasugano Haruka and Shimada Arisu)". How will be the quality? HAKKENSHI! FIGHT FOR JUSTICE!! Casting of "Harem Protagonists as Hakkenshi" and "Garupan Captain G...

Again, I requested Mihoniumu-san(@gupmihoniumu, key(gaigaigai123)) an illustration. This time is, “As Inusaka Keno, Yuuki Rito and Darjeeling are showing orbs of ‘智(Chi/wisdom)’.” Rito and Darjeeling: We’re Inusaka Keno Tanetomo. We have orbs of Chi（悌）/wisdom. Chat GPT says that Hakkenden is  "Japanese Avengers" or "Super Sentai/Power Rangers in Edo period". Among it, Inusaka Keno is very popular on account of gaps of beautiful appearance and cruel action. Both Rito and Darjeeling are also popular among Harem Protagonists and Garupan Captain Group. I think Rito and Darjeeling are very suited-role the most to Keno. (I prefer the pairs of Ichijou Raku and Nishi Kinuyo as Inuyama Dosetsu the most.) In next times, I requested an illustration of "Inumura Daikaku pair (Yuiga Nariyuki and Mika)". How will be the quality? HAKKENSHI! FIGHT FOR JUSTICE!! Casting of "Harem Protagonists as Hakkenshi" and "Garupan Captain Group as Hakkenshi" is be...

Again, I requested Mihoniumu-san(@gupmihoniumu, key(gaigaigai123)) an illustration. This time is, “As Inuta Kobungo, Fuyuzora Kogarashi and Kay are showing orbs of ‘悌(Tei/brotherhood)’.” Kogarashi and Kay: We’re Inuta Kobungo Yasuyori. We have orbs of Tei（悌）/brotherhood. Among Harem Protagonists and Garupan Captain Group, both Kogarashi and Kay look natural to fight by living body, not tanks, from my view. I want to watch their powerful action very well From my view, both Kogarashi and Kay mow down enemies by bold and audacious techniques. In next times, I requested an illustration of "Inusaka Keno pair (Yuuki Rito and Darjeeling)". How will be the quality? HAKKENSHI! FIGHT FOR JUSTICE!! 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%...

Again, I requested Mihoniumu-san(@gupmihoniumu, key(gaigaigai123)) an illustration. In this time, it's "As Inukai Genpachi, Momonari Junta and Anchovy are showing the orbs of ''Shin （信） /faith".   Junta and Anchovy: We’re Inukai Genpachi Nobumichi. We have the orbs of Shin （信） /faith.     It's drawn very well. And he didn't forget to illustrate peony-shaped birthmarks in their right cheeks. It's thankful!     In next times, I requested an illustration of "Inuta Kobungo pair (Fuyuzora Kogarashi and Kay)". How will be the quality?     HAKKENSHI! FIGHT FOR JUSTICE!! 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: Y...

Again, I requested Mihoniumu-san(@gupmihoniumu, key(gaigaigai123)) an illustration. In this time, it's "As Inuyama Dosetsu, Ichijou Raku and Nishi Kinuyo are showing the orb of ''Chuu（忠）/loyalty". Raku and Kinuyo: We’re Inuyama Dosetsu Tadatomo. We have the orb of Chuu（忠）/loyalty. I prefer, Ichijou Raku and Nishi Kinuyo as Inuyama Dosetsu, most. Raku as Dosetsu who expresses aggressive and volititional. Kinuyo as Dosetsu who cotes flame and are the most beautiful in Dosetsu's world. Both of them impacted me strongly! In next times, I requested Mihoniumu--san illustration, of pairs of Inukai Genpachi (Momonari Junta and Anchovy). HAKKENSHI! FIGHT FOR JUSTICE!! 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: Suzum...

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...

Again, I requested Mihoniumu-san(@gupmihoniumu, key(gaigaigai123)) an illustration. In this time, it's "As Inuzuka Shino, Itou Makoto and Nishizumi Miho are showing the orb of ''Kou（孝）/filial piety". 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. 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)...

I got a requested illustration from Mr. Mihoniumu(@gupmihoniumu, key(gaigaigai123)) again. This time is, “Darjeeling Is Pushing Itou Makoto's Head to Her Breast” Darjeeling: “Please don't hesitate... Do you understand? my heart is beating fast such thing.... It's OK for you to do what you want to do...” Makoto: “Darjeeling…” Darjeeling is very sexy! I think my next request of illustrations will be Hakkenshi/The Eight Dog Warriors series. Because their illustrations are also very cool!

I went to Gogh Exhibition, and I knew, that Gogh's opus has extended by Theo, Vincent Van Gogh's little brother. And Jo, Theo's wife, and Vincent Willem, the son of Theo and Jo, also had done their best to expand Gogh's opus. Extremely, artists need their own patron, I understood. What about me? I have my favorite artist, which often draw Girls Und Panzer illustrations. Of course, it's OK for me to pay money for my requested illustrations. But what I have to do the most is that I bring out his talent, isn't it? Because both I and he love School Days. I've often requested illustrations of "the romance of Itou Makoto and Garupan Heroines" and "Hakkenshi/The Eight Dog Warriors series". But it's also for bringing out his talent, isn't it? I need to bring out the identity and individuality of his illustrations. If he were Vincent Van Gogh, I would want to become Theo. I don't know what I'm capable for yet, but I want to extend ...

I got a requested illustration from Mr. Mihoniumu(@gupmihoniumu, key(gaigaigai123)) again. This time is, "Turtle Team as Mito Komon." The roles are below: Kadotani Anzu as Tokugawa Mitsukuni Koyama Yuzu as Sasa Sukesaburo Kawashima Momo as Atsumi Kakunoshin Oarai is near to Mito, so this request is also very good. I also decided to request illustrations, "Hakkenshi's series" again.

I requested Mihoniumu-san(@gupmihoniumu, key(gaigaigai123)) an illustration again. This time is, "Itou Makoto is lying down by the Saibaiman's self-destruct" Once in a while, it's OK to such this internet meme. Sakata Gintoki in Gintama, Bossun in SKET DANCE has done the same pose.

In Document 72 Hours of NHK, a firework shop in Yamanashi has been introduced. After I was watching it, I came up with the vision that Nishizumi Miho in Garupan is enjoying fireworks. ] So, I used PixAI again, and I generated illustration and animation that Nishizumi Miho is enjoying fireworks. It's very beautiful. Autumn is not suitable to fireworks, but I felt like watching fireworks by only watching the illustrations and animations.

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...
