Why I Organize Projects

In my article the day before yesterday, I wrote that the combination of 1) creative ability, 2) production ability, and 3) communication ability equals 4) comprehensive 'noter' ability, and I received the following comment.

As everyone says, I also have high regard for Katchi-san's comprehensive strength, but personally, I'd love to see a Katchi-san who tones down 2 and 3 and turns up the output of 1 somewhere in the future ( ●´ސު｀●) I like Katchi-san the producer and Katchi-san the friendly follower, but above all, I am drawn to Katchi-san as a creator.

Katchi-san, you have it all!
Your comments are warm, and your articles are incredibly interesting! The projects are fulfilling, and you are so compassionate that instead of just introducing people, you even reply to comments on behalf of an account owner who is currently banned from commenting (lol).
However, I would love to see you unleash your full power as a creator.

Such excessive expectations for Katchi the creator. I am honestly happy.
It is true that the number of articles related to projects has been increasing, and I fear that I might be disappointing the few readers who enjoy my writing. It means my output as a producer has increased. Sometimes I even suppress my own desire to write in order to provide information about projects.

So, why do I organize projects?

I'm going to say something big.

I want to blow a breeze through Note.

To 'blow a breeze' means to create a community made of fluid connections rather than fixed ones.

Many human relationships are closed and fixed within herds. Whether it's a country, a company, a faction, a neighborhood, or a group of friends. The units vary, but they exist.
Creating herds is a human habit that has existed since the dawn of hunting and farming. While there is the benefit of making things possible through the collective work of a group with shared interests that one could not do alone, there are also downsides.

By drawing lines inside and outside the herd, people distinguish between those inside and those outside. Conflict and exclusion happen because there are herds like national borders, factions, and groups.
Also, a function to preserve the herd—an organization—becomes necessary. A hierarchy that spreads from the top, such as a president, CEO, representative, or gang leader, down to the base. Once a hierarchy is formed, conflict to gain an advantageous position within it arises again.

I'm not confident about the scale of a country, but I hate all herds, from a gang of kids to company factions and departments. The division inside and outside the herd, the hierarchy for preservation, internal power struggles and factionalism, rules and codes, peer pressure, entanglements, ostracism...

That said, I don't want to be a so-called lone wolf. It's fine to connect with the necessary people when necessary. It means there is no need to hang out with the same crowd all the time. An equidistant relationship with people belonging to any herd is ideal. Every encounter is a fluid connection of 'once-in-a-lifetime' meetings. This is what blows the breeze.

Both the 'Everyone's Haiku Tournament' and the 'Festival of Talent' are run based on this idea.

The Haiku Tournament is a borderless and open project that removes all barriers. That is precisely why experienced people and beginners, novelists and painters and musicians, businessmen and shut-ins, elementary school students and the elderly, able-bodied people and people with disabilities can create once-in-a-lifetime connections.

There is no hierarchy between judges, participants, and management. The judges are also participants, and the participants are also judges. The tournament host and management are not authorities, but supporters who liven up the participants.

I pay close attention to ensure it does not become a closed, insider project. That is also why the names of the cups and the people in charge of production (images and music) are not fixed.

I recently announced the closing of the shop, but even if I had continued, I had talked about appointing a successor and having Sumika and myself step down. If Sumika or I were to become an authority, it would go against the original purpose.

The 'Festival of Talent' is also an open project where a wide range of creators participate until the final output. We received many applications from novel beginners and lyric beginners (130 novels, 80 lyrics). I wonder if it would be this difficult to mobilize this many people even if a fairly large closed circle called for it. Through this project, there must have been many once-in-a-lifetime encounters. The breeze blew.

Even if you don't belong to a herd, you can make friends.
Even without a herd, you can build a relationship of helping and being helped.


If I say this in the real world, I will definitely be laughed at for talking about such a utopia.

However, wouldn't it be fine for note to be a utopia, at least?

Returning to the opening topic, for me, project production is also a creation of a 'well-ventilated community'.

At the same time, I will continue to energetically write novels, essays, and pranks, so please don't give up on me.
