Akarium's First Project: "Akarium Night"

The night at Akarium is beginning.

Have you ever been to an aquarium after closing time?

The lights are dimmed, the hallways are dark, but the tanks glow softly.

The place that was bustling during the day shows a completely different face at night.

It's quiet, deep, and just a little bit mysterious.

I thought I'd like to have that kind of time at Akarium, too.

🌙 The "#AkariumNight" submission project starts today.

The theme is "Night".

Any creative work related to the night is welcome! ヽ(=´▽`=)ﾉ

✨ Any kind of work is welcome to swim here

• Novels / Short-shorts

• Poetry / Essays

• Illustrations / AI-generated images

• Music

• Tweets (A short comment + one image is totally fine too!)

I've made the rules simple and easy to participate in! ✨

📌 How to participate

1. Create a work with the theme of "Night"

2. Post it with the hashtag "#AkariumNight"

3. Include the URL of this article in your posthttps://note.com/akari_seaart/n/nd552d8685dd0?app_launch=false

That's it!

You don't have to be a member of Akarium to join.

📅 Event Period

Sunday, May 31, 2026 – Sunday, June 7, 2026

This is a one-week limited project🌙

🌙 Theme: What should I write for "Night"?

Anything is fine!

For example, something like this:

• Things you thought about on a sleepless night

• A story about walking through the city at night

• Creative work featuring the night sky, the moon, or stars

• A story about working the night shift

• A late-night convenience store

• The guilt of eating ice cream in the middle of the night (this is me)

• The ocean at night

• Feelings you couldn't tell anyone at night

• Something glowing in the darkness

• An aquarium at night

As long as it involves "night," whether it's bright, dark, fantasy, or realistic, everything is okay!

Feel free to let your work swim around! ヽ(=´▽`=)ﾉ

💬 Why are you doing this project?

Akarium is an aquarium magazine I created as a "place where everyone's creations swim," but I wanted more people to know about it.

Usually, the residents let their work swim freely, but I thought it would be nice to have a time where we all look into the same tank together by choosing a single theme like this.

I chose "Night" because I love night aquariums. That's all. (´ω｀)

The sparkling tanks during the day are nice, but I feel like you can show your true colors in the quiet tanks at night.

Isn't creation the same way? A place where you can let your true feelings slip out in the slightly dark.

That's the kind of week I hope this will be. 🌙

🐟 For those asking, "What is Akarium?"

"Akarium" is a creative aquarium on note. ✨

It's a place where creators' works swim like living creatures. Any genre is welcome. Whether it's novels, illustrations, or music, as long as the article is mainly about your creation, you can let it swim here.

Anyone can post for this event, even if you aren't participating in Akarium, so feel free to come and swim. 💕

A word from the curator

The night aquarium is now open.

Whether you swim quietly or swim around excitedly, either is fine.

I'll be waiting! ヽ(=´▽`=)ﾉ🌙
