Gratitude for 15,000 Likes & Last-Minute Entry for the Like Video Contest!!

This is 'Izakaya Harunezumi'.

I'm hanging the noren curtain again today in the town of note.

Clatter, clatter, clatter!

'Welcome!!'

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

The customer that day was a regular.

With a soft, fluffy aura, they sat down at the counter—it was Sheep🐏.

🐭'Welcome. Good work today.'

🐏'Thanks for having me. Oh, Manager.'

Sheep glanced at the smartphone placed on the counter.

🐏'You look like you're smiling, don't you?'

🐭'Oh, is it that obvious? Haha.'

🐏'I can tell. Something good happened, right? Anyway, give me a draft beer. So, what happened?'

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

As I served the beer, I told them.

That I had made a Like animation—

🐭'You know how a little animation plays when you click the Like button on note?'

🐏'Ah, that thing that goes pop.'

🐭'Yeah, that. Did you know you can make those yourself?'

🐏 "Wait, really!?"

🐭 "I didn't know either. I only found out after reading the articles by An-san, Ruko-san, Yupika-san, Azunaburu-san, and Eigyo Fafa-san."

🐏 "Oh! Is everyone doing it?"

🐭 "That's right. Seeing that... well, it made me want to try it too, haha."

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🐏 "What kind of settings did you have before?"

🐭 "It was just a simple image. I was interested in GIFs, but I thought they looked difficult..."

🐏 "So, this is your first time trying a GIF!"

🐭 "Exactly! With the method introduced, I could easily make one from the images I already had. It was surprisingly simple, haha."

There is a credit limit for video creation, but you can make your first one!"

🐏 "Wait, it's that easy!?"

🐭 "And... since I was at it, I made two, haha."

🐏 "Two!!"

🐭 "An animation for the 'Like' button and an animation for the comment section. I figured if I was going to make them, I might as well do both."

Here is the 'Like' image I set!
This is my contest entry!!

I also made a comment GIF!

The sheep chuckled.

🐏 "There are a lot of things to comment on, but lol"
"It's one of those things you can't stop once you start, isn't it? lol"

🐭 "That's exactly it...! lol"

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

And then—they continued.

🐭 "The people who inspired me to make this GIF were participating in a project by someone named Naoyuki!"

🐏 "Naoyuki?"

🐭 "He's active as a concierge of stories and knowledge. His articles are wonderful, and I've been interested in him for a while."

🐏 "What kind of project is it?"

🐭 "It's a Like video contest. Naoyuki won a 10,000 yen prize in a video generation AI tool contest. He didn't want to keep it all to himself, so he launched this project to share it with the creators who support him every day."

🐏 "...That's generous."

🐭 "Right! I was so happy about his sentiment that I just had to participate."

🐏 "When is the submission deadline?"

🐭 "...It's today, June 11th, at 23:59."

🐏 "Today!!!"

🐭 "Exactly lol. I wanted anyone interested to hurry up!!"

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

While serving the appetizer, they continued.

🐭 "And, there's something happy regarding Likes..."

🐏 "What is it, what is it?"

🐭 "The number of likes I've received has exceeded 15,000. And the likes I've sent have exceeded 18,000."

The sheep opened his eyes a little wide.

🐏 "...That's an amazing number."

🐭 "I was surprised myself, haha. When I started note in December, I never imagined it would go this far...!!

It's all thanks to the readers who press the like button every time."

🐏 "So that's why you made an animation."

🐭 "That's right. When I get a like, it really makes me happy. I wanted to return that feeling."

The sheep took a sip of beer and nodded in agreement.

🐏 "That sounds just like you, Manager. You wanted to return the feeling rather than focus on the numbers, right?"

🐭 "...I'm happy to hear you say that."

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Naoyuki-san, thank you for such a wonderful project.

I'll be sneaking in an entry from this izakaya 🐭

Also, thank you Haruko-san, Yupika-san, Azunaburu-san, and Eigyo Fafa-san for teaching me about GIFs!

The application deadline is today, Thursday, June 11th, at 23:59.
