Chizu's Sitemap | Cats, My Oshi, and Days of Writing on Note

Hello, I'm Chizu.
I'm a fan in my 30s who lives with a rescue cat and absolutely loves my favorite stage actor.

I've put together a sitemap of the articles I've written in the two months since I started using note💡
If there's a theme that catches your eye, please feel free to browse around.

🫧Self-Introduction

You can find my self-introduction article here💌

I'll also dive deeper into my hobbies that I couldn't fit into my self-introduction.

Did you find any common ground with your own "likes"?
If we have something in common, let's go to a Saizeriya, grab a bottle of wine, and talk all night.

🎀 Oshi = Life!!

I can't talk about my life without mentioning my Oshi.
Even before the term "oshikatsu" (fan activities) existed, I've always had an Oshi and have lived my life as an otaku.

On note, I write about my feelings for my Oshi, how I spend my days as an otaku in my 30s, and the financial side of being an otaku.

▶I turned a letter to my Oshi into an article

▶How I spend my time when I can't see my Oshi

▶Feeling the magnitude of my Oshi's presence during the time I couldn't see them

▶ I've started a monthly report on my fandom activities

But fandom life isn't just fun.
Sometimes it gets exhausting when I compare myself to other fans.
There are also people who say things like "fandom activities are a waste of money" or "being a fan is pointless."
(I just think, "You've never even had a favorite! Don't act like you know what you're talking about!!" 💀)

That's why,I want to support you, who cherishes the feeling of "loving your favorite.".

With that sentiment in mind,
I am creating a fandom support magazine that collects wonderful articles about "loving your favorite."
Please feel free to take a look at this as well 💌

🐾 Days with my rescue cat

The rescue cat who came to our home three years ago turned 12 this year.
Last year, a tumor was found, and I was told she had "two years left to live," so she is currently battling the illness.
But she is so energetic and cute that it's hard to believe she's sick; she's a spoiled little thing and a bit of a grump.

I am documenting my days with my "little one" 🐈

▶ How I met my cat and the story of her rescue (The "mascot cat" article for me)

▶ The story of my cat's battle with illness

▶ The answer to "Is it the end if you're single and own a cat?"

▶ What is the truth behind my cat's mysterious behavior...?

💼 Side hustles and money talk for making dreams come true

"To support my faves for a lifetime, money is also important"
I will also write honestly about the side hustles and asset building I started with that motivation.

I originally had 4.3 million yen in student loans, so I started building assets from a negative balance.
I've made mistakes and taken detours, but I would be happy if my journey could provide some hints for you.

▶ The story of my failed side hustle as a web writer

▶ The story of my dream life as a "Rakugo Lady"

▶ Revealing the reality of my fan activity expenses!

✍️ What it means to write on note

I feel that writing on note is like "breathing for the soul."
Whether it's a good day or a day when the words just won't come out.
By writing things down just as they are, I am able to ease my mind.

It's okay not to be anyone special.
It's okay if it's clumsy or incoherent.
I believe that there is definitely something that only I, and only you, can write 🫧

▶ Selected for "Today's Featured Articles"!

▶ There are things only a note beginner can write

▶ Writing on note even when I can't find the words

▶ Looking back on my first month since starting note

▶ Looking back on my second month since starting note

I love writing, so I also have a goal of "wanting to be able to write essays!"
I am compiling my trial-and-error writing process into a magazine 🖋

I am also involved in managing a collaborative magazine!
I feel a sense of fulfillment meeting so many fascinating people and discovering interesting articles🌹

🌱 To you who read this. Thank you~!

My note has a jumbled mix of themes, and I probably won't limit them in the future either.
But I think, "that kind of note is exactly what makes me, me".

I will update this sitemap every time my note gets a bit more cluttered.
New themes might start or end eventually.
Since I am still a work in progress, I will keep moving forward as I write🐾

Through my days of facing my note, I hope to make it a place where I, and you too, can "learn to like yourself a little more"~.

I would be happy if any of these themes could gently nestle close to your heart🍀
