Self-Introduction & Site Map | Reorganizing after one year on note

If we are meeting for the first time, "Nice to meet you."
To everyone I am always indebted to, "Hello."
My name is Kahota Tanashima.

Before I knew it, a year had passed since I opened my note account!

Since this is a milestone, I decided to rewrite my "instruction manual" to help you enjoy my articles more, tailored to who I am now.

1. This place is a "playground for thoughts"

This is a place where I share the process of spinning "thoughts" from daily "experiences" and "generating" them into new stories.

Rather than presenting a definitive "correct answer," I value putting into words and organizing the "discomfort" or "emotions" that arise within me.
Instead of using aggressive language or strong assertions, I aim for this to be a comfortable place that leaves a pleasant lingering impression, where I can share questions like "What does this mean?" with those who read my work.

2. Article Reading Guide (Cycle of Thought)

My account mainly operates on the following cycle. Please feel free to peek in from whichever entrance suits your current mood.

• Experience (Input): Movie and Book Reviews
  I record the "ripples in my heart" that I feel after watching or reading works just as they are. It is an entrance for organizing my own emotions and interpretations while mixing in a critical perspective.

• Thought (Process): Essays and Deep Dives from Reviews
  This is a section where I dig deeper into questions like "Why did I think that?" It deals with the very "contents" of my thinking.

• Generation (Output): Short and Medium-length Stories
  These are fragments of thought that have overflowed into stories. I hope you enjoy these short-shorts and medium-length stories as "thoughts and ideas given form."

• Behind the Scenes of Thought: Meta-articles and Writing Techniques
  This is a visualization of my process, such as "How I co-create with AI" and "How I think." These often serve as leads to paid articles for those who want to know more deeply.

3. Four articles I want you to read first

If you are new and don't know where to start, please begin here!

1. Reviews that show my thinking habits:

🔗Click here for the movie review magazine

2. Introspective Q&A that dives deep from emotions:

🔗Paid essays are written as a way to organize my daily thoughts.

3. Stories born from thought:

🔗I also write articles about the behind-the-scenes of how these works were created.

4. Articles presenting the process of thought:

🔗I also think about my hobby of supporting my favorites from a meta perspective.

4. Distinguishing between paid and free content

To ensure that readers feel satisfied, I have roughly divided my content as follows.

• Free articles: "Finished products" born as a result of my thinking, such as reviews and short stories.

• Paid articles: Behind-the-scenes of production and the process of trial and error. If you are interested in "the content and process of my thoughts"
  or the backstory of "why this story was born," please check them out. Alternatively, I also put slightly longer, systematically organized articles behind a paywall. 👇 I have also written an article that serves as a culmination of my first year on note, so please read it if you'd like.
  

  
  

5. Valuing gentle dialogue

The reviews and critiques I write are not intended to deny the works, the authors, or your own impressions. They are merely a presentation of my own interpretations.
Therefore, empathy is welcome, but different opinions like "I thought this way!" are also very welcome.
Quiet exchanges of opinions in the comment section are precious treasures that broaden my thinking.

This article is an "interface" for you to navigate through my mind.
A year has passed since I started writing on note, and this place has gradually taken shape. I look forward to your continued support.
If you like what you see, following me would be a great encouragement!
