"Forget success, it's all about the Inro!" Hisui's #WhatAreYouTalkingAbout Diary

At a glance, Hisui is
"It makes no sense, it makes so little sense
that's why I love it!"—things like that
attract me immensely!!

So, lately, I've been loving this

"#WhatAreYouTalkingAbout"

"What are you talking about" is
a "theme genre" that has absolutely nothing to do with

the healing of the heart, healing, spiritualism, making tons of money through monetization,
buying a pot so you can be happy too,
or the feeling that the world is connected by love... though there are days when it doesn't feel that way,
which the genius Konishi no Ko-san advocates.

Anyway, no matter what you write, as long as you add the tag
"#WhatAreYouTalkingAbout" at the end,
it's a wonderful activity that saves the world.
(Just kidding. The world isn't actually saved. And I don't really want to save it either (lol))

Last week, Hisui wrote a kitten article, and when I added the #WhatAreYouTalkingAbout tag,
I heard there's also a #WhatAreYouMeowingAbout tag.

Hmmmm.
Well played, Konishi-san (lol).
And this back alley of Note.
No matter how far you go, it's not useful for anything at all,
but it's a back alley that's stupidly fun.

Like when a fourth-grade boy can't play anymore because it's gotten too dark,
and he trudges home saying, "Damn it!"
It's a place that feels slightly dejected,
yet also carries a quiet fighting spirit,
like, "I'll play my heart out again tomorrow, come what may."

In short, everyone is
very seriously continuing to do stupid things and pursuing them,
that is the world of #WhatAreYouTalkingAbout.

You know.
There are things in this world that are completely useless, but
you just have to have them, like wooden swords, shuriken, or an Inro.

When you become an adult, you tend to want to say,
"I-I-I don't really want an Inro or anything. A wooden sword? What's that?"
but things like that

are boring (lol)

The things a person should pursue their whole life
are things that aren't even one millimeter useful to anyone,
with a sense of purpose that's off beyond the sky, over the rainbow.

But they're things that are deathly fun to yourself, right?

Everyone knows it. Deep down, they do.

Skills, techniques,
monetization, success,
schemas, user-friendliness.

You actually hate those things, don't you (lol)?
More than that,
spending three hours trying to catch a kitten,
getting happy or sad over the Giants' wins and losses (no, no, let's go this season!!),
adding curry powder to cup yakisoba, and just when it's done,
accidentally trying to put it on a plate and ruining everything,

biting the end of a cucumber and shouting,
"This is delicious! Did you know the ends of cucumbers are the best part?!" while
watching the rugby game, the Samoa match video, over and over again obsessively,
and spending 47 minutes rolling around laughing.

Living while just laughing your head off,
isn't that what you really want to do?

If so, welcome to the "What are you talking about" world.

It's 100 times
more fun than success (lol), isn't it?
