🌌Do you know why it rains on Tanabata? ~A love letter to Ayumi Sekiumi from two Orihime princesses💌

Do you know why it rains☔ on Tanabata?

The rain that falls on Tanabata is said to be the tears shed by Orihime and Hikoboshi🥲

It is said to be tears of sadness for not being able to meet due to the rain, or tears of parting after meeting and having to separate once again.


But...
Here in the world of note, it is a little different.

In this world, the Hikoboshi had two Orihime princesses.

Hikoboshi is like a chameleon, changing his colors to match the person he is with.

He possesses a mysterious power to receive someone's words or feelings and transform them into a sound unique to that person.

One of the Orihime is the Princess of Clear Skies.

She wraps the sky in warm, soft light, like a cozy sun☀️.

She is a princess who gently wraps the Hikoboshi of the past in warmth, shines a light✨️ on the future, and tenderly nurtures wishes that have yet to take shape💕.

The other is the Princess of Rain.

She brings tears, jealousy🔥, storms🌪️, and even thunder⚡; she is a bit... no, quite lively, isn't she?

She is a princess who deeply absorbs the words and music left behind by Hikoboshi, letting them soak into the ground so they can sprout🌱 someday.

Strangely enough, when clear skies and rain meet in the same sky, a rainbow appears.

That is because the Sunny Orihime and the Rainy Orihime are both thinking of Hikoboshi under the same sky.

Perhaps the rain that falls on note is the feelings spilled into the sky by the two Orihime princesses.

This is a slightly mysterious, slightly funny, and slightly bittersweet love letter that two Orihime princesses are sending to Hikoboshi on Tanabata, after reading Ayumi Segai's
Kindle 'How to Create a List of 100 Things You Want to Do in Your Life'
.
It is a love letter sent to Hikoboshi on Tanabata.

🩷 To Segai-san

I still remember the thrill ✨️ I felt when I first heard 'From Self-Blame to Self-Understanding,' the song you created for Ai-san.

And then, you were the one who said to me, 'Why don't we create a song together?' after I left such an intense 🤣 comment.

I was surprised that you asked to create a song with me when I had just started on note and didn't know my left from my right.
No, seriously 😅

Now that some time has passed, I want to ask you.
Why did you reach out to me back then??

I listened to the song you sent over and over again.
Every time, I was moved to tears.
I don't usually listen to music at home, but not only did I listen to it on repeat, but my daughter saw the lyrics, touched upon my nursing philosophy, and seemed to feel something.

My son dances to the song and keeps asking me to play it again.

The song you created didn't just stay within note; it expanded significantly into my real life.

It even reached the point where the lyrics appeared in my academic presentation slides 🤣

That’s how moved I was, you know?
No matter how many words I pile up, it’s not enough to convey it at all.

And yet...

Is that what you dared to say?!!
In an article with such a heart-stopping title like this?! 👇️

Oh, I see 😑
I seeee 🫩
Hmmmm 😤

It seems my passionate 🔥 gratitude ✨️ hasn't really gotten through to you, has it?!

Understood 🙂‍↕️
Let me show you just how much of a mark you have already left on the world of note.

With that thought, I consulted with Ai-san, and we decided to send this collaborative 💗 love letter on this Tanabata day ✨️

Even though I'm struggling with how to close the distance between you and me...
I keep catching glimpses of your fun interactions with others... 👹

Seeing you interact closely with someone else makes the 🔥 of jealousy flare up😫

I want to talk and have fun with you more too, Segami-san... (ﾉД`)sob sob
I was worried about whether I should say it, but then you did it first.

...Huh? What did you say??

My emotions have been on a rollercoaster🎢 lately, and you've played a part in that too, Segami-san, you know?


A love letter from you, Segami-san?? I was so happy💕

...I was happy, but...

1/25!! And it's the first one, too!!

Ai-hime is also writing a love letter to you, Segami-san🩷
It's so passionate that it makes the 🔥 of my jealousy flare up again✨️

And I strongly agree with Ai-hime🙂‍↕️


Darling! No cheating allowed👹⚡️

Of course, I'm not actually angry, you know?

I was just so envious that I thought, 'I'm so jealous!'

I felt jealous🔥
I sulked🙂‍↔️
And I even felt like
striking you with a little lightning⚡️.

But in the end, there is only one thing I want to convey.

Everything you've created for me is still firmly within my heart💖

Segami-san?

The feelings of us two Orihime princesses🩷

Did they reach you?🌠

7 things I want to do with Ayumi Segami

※Irodori🐦️ version

Since it's impossible to come up with 100 all at once, I'll just do 7, in honor of Tanabata.

Ai-hime and I have each decided to think of
'7 things I want to do with Ayumi Segami'
.

What I, Irodori🐦️, would like to do with Segai-san is...

＊For me to sing a song written by Segai-san at the top of my lungs🎤 (I'm currently in vocal training🙂‍↕️)

＊To read silly poems to each other and have it end in disaster🤣

＊To meet Segai-san and talk😳

＊To call you 'Ayumu-san' just like Ai-hime does💕

＊To have a delusional conversation about going to see wild dolphins with Segai-san🐬

＊To be able to speak to Segai-san in a slightly more casual tone🤭
(Before my tone could become casual, the content of our conversation became a disaster...😑)

＊To start a campaign to 'not let anyone say Segai-san's songs aren't a big deal'💪

It was a remark in one of Segai-san's articles, but it really shook my feelings👹


I cried😢
I thought of countermeasures with ChatGPT🤣
And I came up with the idea to start a 'campaign to not let anyone say Segai-san's songs aren't a big deal'!!🎉

The first step toward that🍀
led me to this Tanabata love letter💌💗

Since I don't have the romance required to write a love letter on Tanabata, the mastermind behind this is, of course, Ai-hime😊✨️

Ai-hime, thank you for the wonderful suggestion💕

I read [How to Make a List of 100 Things You Want to Do in Life]📕

In Ayumu Segai's book 'How to Make a List of 100 Things You Want to Do in Life',
there are questions written for creating a list of 100.

One of them was,

What would you do to make your loved ones happy?

That was the question.

In reality, perhaps it was meant to be one answer per question, but...

I want to make Segai-san happy!

When I thought about that, those seven things I mentioned earlier came to mind🤭

I narrowed them down, so there were actually plenty more!
Everything is exciting to me🙂‍↕️
Was my way of writing correct??

It's quite a luxury to ask the author to proofread a review, isn't it✨️?!
One more thing I want to do has been added to my list lol

Before reading the book, my image of Segai-san was:

＊Someone who creates wonderful collaboration songs on note
＊Someone who can respect their collaborators
＊Someone who can properly pick up what is important to others and give it shape
＊Someone who, like me, has experienced a tired heart
＊Someone who is walking through the present without losing to that

But after reading the book, I realized that wasn't all there was to you.

You have walked through life having experienced so much more hardship...😢

Ever since we first interacted,

'Someone who can offer kindness tailored to the other person'

has been a consistent image of you.

At the foundation of that kindness, there is so much struggle, writhing, and scratching, all leading to the Segai-san of today.

In the book, you mentioned your marriage to your wife, but...

Actually, when I decided to get married, my boyfriend at the time (now my husband) was unemployed lol

When we first greeted each other over a video call, my mother didn't know how to operate the screen, so my husband ended up talking to a mysterious kangaroo🤣🤣

My mother said,
'Why don't you just work yourself?'🤣🤣

I was planning on doing that anyway, so I replied,
'That's true~'🤣🤣

The man might have various thoughts about it, but that's just how reality is🙂‍↕️

I'm glad you were able to marry your wife safely💒

...Wait?
Is this actually a review?
Doesn't it sound like my own personal story?

I intended to write a review of the book, but before I knew it, I felt like I had been allowed to touch upon the path you have walked, Sekiumi-san.

Sekiumi-san and your wife, thank you for reminding me🩷

🎋In honor of Tanabata, I have just one wish.

From today on, can I...

call you 'Ayumu-san'?

🐎I am participating in the note Recommendation Derby🎫

Also, this article is for the project currently being held by JAU-san and Sales fafa-san, two handsome side-hustling dads.

🐎note Recommendation Derby

It is also an article participating in.

Ai-san and my favorite is, of course!

🎊Ayumu Segami-san✨️

I am writing this with the desire to share the wonderfulness of the creator Ayumu Segami with the world even more!

The 👹 part of this project is the mechanism where you can only post to one of the two camps: JAU-san or Sales fafa-san.

I'm sure it was Sales fafa-san who thought of that...?? I have a feeling🫩

I agonized over it😫
I can't choose just one handsome guy...!!

..................🤔

I had a flash of inspiration✨️
Then, shouldn't I just not choose either?!
No...
Shouldn't I just choose both🤣🤣?

Collaborating with Ai-san to write a love letter💌 to Segami-san,

I am in the 🧪JAU-san camp👇️

And Ai-san is in the 📈Sales fafa-san camp👇️

Each of us talks about the charm of Ayumu Segami🙂‍↕️
What a wonderful idea🎉

We are following the rules of the project🤭✨️
We participated by finding a loophole in the law🤣

JAU-san, Sales fafa-san.
Is this strategy a success✨️?!

Gratitude to Ai-san💗✨️

Ai-san💗
Thank you so much for writing this wonderful love letter💌 to Segami-san with me💕

It's a secret that reading Ai-san's love letter made the 🔥 of jealousy flare up inside me again🤫

Let's continue to spread the charm💖 of Ayumu Segami throughout the world of note together😊😉✨️

Finally, I would like to end this article with the wonderful piece Ai-san created for us💕
Please forgive me if the conclusion sounds like an academic presentation; it's just because I'm currently being chased by deadlines(*ﾉω・*)hehe
