Overwhelming Gratitude for 350,000 Views & The Problem of Resisting the Law of Equivalent Exchange (2026/01/15)

350,000 views in 22 and a half months

Today, January 15th, I reached a cumulative total of 350,000 views. To everyone who reads my work, here is my customary

overwhelming gratitude! m(_ _)m

After registering on March 1st last year, I was effectively dormant until reaching 50,000 views last April. Since then, the progress has been as follows. I have achieved 350,000 views in 22 and a half months.

2025/04/24 50,000 views
2025/06/19 100,000 views
2025/07/31 150,000 views
2025/09/12 200,000 views
2025/10/24 250,000 views
2025/12/06 300,000 views
2026/01/15 350,000 views

At the current pace, it looks like I will reach about 450,000 views per year. I might even be able to achieve the 1 million views within 2026 that I declared in my "10 Things I Want to Do This Year" list at the start of the year, when combined with my qualification note.

Today marks my 330th consecutive day of posting. Truly, "consistency is power," and there is an aspect where people read my work precisely because I keep at it.

By the way, my follower count is currently 1,316, which is an increase of about 170 people since I hit 300,000 views on 12/06, when I had 1,147 followers. I am deeply grateful and moved by both.

Upcoming series schedule

The current lineup is as follows.

Serious Travel Across Japan

Mon… A series about my number one hobby as a multi-otaku: travel. I write deep content that AI cannot, based on what I saw and felt on-site.

Currently, I am on the Ishigaki Island edition, serializing a 2-day, 1-night trip over 4 weeks. By the way, the person behind this is currently in Okinawa. Truly a perpetual motion machine of travelogues, orz

Congratulatory Board Research Weekly Report

Tue… Introducing last week's Congratulatory Board (articles that received particularly many 'likes' last week). My consecutive record has reached 32 weeks (V32).

Recently, I received a record-high 8 boards in one week, which honestly surprised me. There really must be no upper limit.

The fact that I have been receiving Congratulatory Board notifications every week for almost 8 months is entirely thanks to all of you who read my work.

Recently, I have realized that there are keywords that earn Congratulatory Boards even if they are not displayed as tagging themes.

I want to summarize that sometime, but I wonder if I'll have the time...

Life Lessons Learned from Frieren: Beyond Journey's End

Wednesday... Watching the anime "Frieren: Beyond Journey's End" and writing my thoughts from the perspective of "what is life?"

With the second season of the anime finally starting this week, I plan to resume this series after a long break. It looks like busy days are about to begin again.

Everything after this will be updated as needed.

Shisa's Heart Tanka

I set a goal to write 100 tanka poems in 2026, and I've already written 12 in the first 15 days of the year. By being conscious of it, I've started thinking about it naturally, allowing me to create at a high pace.

Especially this year, I would like to leave behind a poem from my travels, much like Matsuo Basho's "The Narrow Road to the Deep North".

Also, since I've started brushing up my expressions a bit more than before, I'd like to believe I've improved at least a little.

Random Musings

My "Random Musings," where I write about anything and everything, has finally reached about 140 entries.

By the way, for serious topics that aren't random, such as certifications and investment methods, please check my note on certifications and investments.

Karaoke & Chocozap Diary

My Karaoke & Chocozap Diary is also being read by many, which is very encouraging.

For this year's goal of "reaching the national Top 10 for popular songs by men and women," in the JOYSOUND national scoring,GLAY's "Haru wo Aisuru Hito" is in 1st place, and MISIA's "Ai no Katachi" is in 3rd place.Will I be able to hold onto these spots?

Today's Chu-hi & Alcohol

Today's Chu-hi, which I started right after beginning this note, has exceeded 130 drinks.

However, I've actually been drinking more than that, and my stock of articles just keeps piling up... I want to publish them regularly, but oh well.

Today's Ice Cream & Sweets

This also seems to have a loyal fan base, and I am truly grateful for the magazine subscriptions.

Budget Ukulele Diary

I started playing the ukulele last year and have finally learned the do-re-mi scale. A project is currently in the works...

Summary... I haven't reduced it at all.

Checking the lineup again...

I was supposed to reduce the amount I write, but it hasn't decreased at all.

I am also updating my investment and certification notes daily, for a minimum of four posts total on weekdays. This is in addition to any ad-hoc updates.

The crucial Statistical Test is not progressing much, partly because the content is difficult. From the perspective of the "Law of Equivalent Exchange," it is clear that I should reduce more, but oh well...

That said, maintaining the pace using AI goes against my policy. What should I do...

Self-introduction cleared.

Following the 300,000-view milestone last time, I finally organized my self-introduction and site map. I tend to update things when I hit a milestone number.

Thank you for your continued support.
