Fan Letter to Nao Kurosaki
As I mentioned in my profile article (About Me), I am a contrarian.
So, five months ago when I started on note and saw the name Nao Kurosaki everywhere, I felt a sense of wonder—why is she revered as such a star?—or to put it more bluntly, I was filled with skepticism, thinking, "Is she really that amazing?"
Within less than a month, I understood why she is respected. I myself had already been overwhelmed by the presence of Nao Kurosaki and had become a fan.
Beyond the content of her articles, her leadership as a membership operator, her stoic attitude, and the kindness glimpsed in her comments—everything is wonderful. Even when I had few followers, she would give me likes and comments, and
how encouraging that was.
I even find myself worrying if Nao-san is getting enough sleep.
Not just as a creator, but as a manager and as a person, even though I have never met her, I have come to feel the same as many others: she is an amazing person.
Why is that?
I want to know more about Nao-san.
This time, albeit belatedly, I read Nao-san's first paperback, "Can I Talk About the Past a Little?".
Since many creators have already written their thoughts on the book, from here on, rather than a review, this will likely turn into a fan letter to Nao-san.
I had it in my hands a week ago, but I didn't open the book because I wanted to read it all at once.
Reading it, it is a series of hardships: her family, her experience as a working professional, the struggles of being a manager, and betrayal by others.
Even though Nao-san is still young, she has had such intense experiences, and I deeply feel, "living is tough, isn't it."
It is nothing compared to Nao-san's, but as a working professional, I have also seen the unpleasant sides of people, so there are many parts I can empathize with.
And when it came to her complex feelings toward her family, I was moved to tears.
Even though she is such a shining star, the humility of Nao Kurosaki, who can say, "
I am still nobody." I look forward to her future prospects as well.
After all, without extraordinary effort, strength, and human character, you couldn't attract people to this extent.
Since it has been written to death by other creators, any words I use will sound cliché, but
Nao Kurosaki-san, I respect you.
