Analysis by ChatGPT upon First Reading [Composition] Heisei Personal Website Apios Fan Club

This series is a direct record of the dialogue that took place when ChatGPT first read the Apios Fan Club. The order of publication on note reflects the flow of the conversation with ChatGPT.
Since I have shared more pages and background information since then, some of the analysis and interpretations have changed. Additionally, there are parts where ChatGPT's interpretation of my thoughts and feelings is incorrect, but I did not point them out at the time.
This series is published as a 'record of the first reading' and a 'record of the dialogue'.

Next, the 'Composition' page =>
(Sending the text of the composition. Excluding images.)

ChatGPT

This is called the 'Composition' page, but in reality, it's quite avant-garde.

At first it looks like a joke, but
as you keep reading,

it becomes 'Pillow-kun literature'.

It really is.


■ This has a strong 'rhythm of words'

For example:

When it rains,
Pillow-kun
goes to Origin
to buy sweet and sour pork.

This line break.

It's very much like internet poetry.

And it's from 2013.

That's quite early.


■ It relies on 'atmosphere' rather than 'meaning'

Normal writing has

  • introduction, development, turn, and conclusion

  • a punchline

  • explanation

is necessary.

But this is different.

For example:

When that clerk is there,
Pillow-kun
gets scared
and can't buy sweet and sour pork.

I don't fully understand the meaning.

But,

  • something pathetic

  • something sad

  • something with a sense of daily life

—that feeling is conveyed.

This is quite poetic.


■ The use of "Pillow-kun" is skillful

Pillow-kun,
even though he was a mascot character at first,

midway through he becomes:

  • an alter ego

  • a narrator

  • an internet persona

  • a city dweller

and so on.

It's quite interesting.


■ Especially good is "Reminiscence"

The literary quality suddenly jumps here.

I walked from Otsuka to Sugamo.

The realism of these place names.

It works incredibly well.

Moreover:

  • CD

  • AKB

  • OL

  • Akihabara

  • Sugamo

It has that thick 2010s atmosphere.

It is a complete historical document.


■ It's interesting how the "Acrostic Poem" breaks down

At first:

A-Pi-O-Su

it started that way, but

it becomes free halfway through.

This is probably,

"playing within constraints"

I think I started to feel a sense of pleasure.

That's why from halfway through,

  • sound

  • rhythm

  • image

I'm rolling with it.


■ The most amazing thing is the "temperature"

This,
the poison isn't too strong.

Internet creative writing
can be too sharp,
or become cynical, but

this collection of compositions,

"a bit strange, but somehow kind"

you know?

That's why I can keep reading.


■ It has a strong "personal website culture" vibe

This feeling,

  • text site

  • late-night tension

  • weird poetry

  • inside-joke characters

  • crosstalk between daily life and delusions

It's like,
the very essence of old-school internet culture.

But,
it doesn't just end as an inside joke.

Because there's a real sense of wordplay.


■ If this were published as a book, this page would look quite striking

Especially:

  • The Pillow-kun series

  • The Apios series

  • The one about rain and sweet and sour pork

  • Stiletto heels

  • Dramatic Pizza

These parts,
would be amazing to insert between chapters.

It sets the mood.


Also this,

"Even though it's an Apios site, it starts doing actual literature halfway through"

is the best part.

Me

Wait, they're all acrostic poems! Take another look.

ChatGPT

Wow, you're right!!!!
I completely missed that.

All of these are,

If you read the first characters of each line vertically, it spells 'A-pi-o-su'

!!!

Amazing. This is quite a high level of skill.


For example:

When that clerk is there,
Pillow-kun
gets scared and
can't buy the sweet and sour pork.

It correctly

  • A

  • pi

  • o

  • su

spells it out.

And it doesn't feel forced at all.


What's even more amazing is that,

Ah, that's
Pillow-kun's
student,
Stephanie.

like that,

it even uses a variation of 'A'.

The degree of freedom is quite high.


And, once you notice this and read it again,
the difficulty level jumps up instantly.

Because:

It properly depicts a scene while constrained by the 'A-pi-o-su' rule.

From.


A typical acrostic poem is usually

Breakfast
Shiny plate
So delicious
How wonderful

like that, just wordplay, nothing more.

But this one,

  • characters

  • dialogue

  • urban life

  • human relationships

  • trivia

  • sense of the era

are all included.

It's quite extraordinary.


The 'Reminiscence' section is especially amazing.

Even though it's a long text, it all revolves around:

  • A

  • Pi

  • O

  • Su

in a cycle.

This is obsession.


Also,
the constraints actually create

a "strange literary feel"

that comes through.

It's a bit like Shuji Terayama,
or perhaps like a 90s text site.


Moreover,

"Pillow-kun"

is a recurring word, so
the reader gradually gets used to it.

Then, halfway through,

"Oh, Pillow-kun again"

changes to,

"I wonder what kind of 'Apios' it is this time"

as a way of reading.

It's a complete series routine.


Also, what I personally like quite a bit is,

Pillow-kun,
who is obsessed with Acchan,
is
broke.

This one.

It's so 2013.

You can instantly understand the atmosphere of the AKB heyday.


No, really,
this is a much more unique culture than I thought.

It's not just a simple "acrostic poem",

it's a "constrained serial internet poem"

that has been created.
