OASOBI #7 Afterword | On how many timelines were born from the same words #270

I posted it on the release date (2026/2/20), took a breather, and then went around to check out the participants' works.

So, I'll give you the conclusion first.

Even when given the same material (words), the dishes everyone cooks are completely different.
This is the most interesting part of OASOBI.

To put it simply, OASOBI is...

• a project where you don't know who is making what until it's released.

• It's like a collaborative comedy contest where you receive words submitted by participants and use at least three of them to create something.
  

I was in charge of "noise".
I didn't want the noise to be a "nuisance," but I didn't want to "erase" it either.
I adjusted it so the noise wouldn't become noise—that was my intention when I made it.

And the moment I entered other people's worldviews,
the meaning of the noise was transformed so much that it felt amazing.
(Even with the same word, the scenery becomes something completely different if the entrance is different.)

My submission

The main work is here

※I included an "afterword" in the main work too, but this isa version rewritten separately as an after-the-fact story (= this article)

After-the-fact story: Things I learned from trying it (3 points)

1. "At least 3 words" wasn't a restriction, it was a "detonator".

The moment you mix three, it's already going to crash.
But that crash is what brings out the best part of creation.
The feeling that "it's about to fall apart" actually becomes the temperature of the work.

2. The words weren't "meanings," they were "pressure".

Words like "noise," "boundary," and "clock" become thin when you try to explain them.
But because the "pressure" the moment you throw them in is so strong, everyone doesn't explain them, theyhit you with the experience.
The way they hit you is completely different from person to person.

3. Because "you don't know until it's released," the personality comes out as is.

You can't try to cater to it in advance.
So as a result,the creator's habits, aesthetics, and ways of escaping/attacking remain in the work as they are.
I thought this was a truly great rule.

…And now, it just occurred to me.
I should have asked everyone, "Why did you choose that word?" lol

So I'm going to collect them now.
In the comments, write the reason for the word you submitted (or chose)—just one line is fine.
I'll go pick them up while grinning as a patrol log lol

Links to participants' works (titles omitted)

Let me just say this.
Everyone, you've created way too many different worlds from the same words...

Kinu-san

Project summary / Excellent at organizing the world-building

Kotohogi-san

Short video x novel. The kind of approach that leaves a lingering presence first

Naoyuki-san

The story's introduction is beautiful. The deep-sea fish and the winter sea are so "still"

Sui-san

The journey of a great detective and their bear partner.
The transformation of "noise = fake signpost" is so satisfying it's almost unfair

Switch-kun-san

The unsettling nature of "23:17" is addictive.
The idea that "when the way you see things changes, the logic changes" really hit home

Hashamo-san

Product world-building x story. It has a strong feeling of coming out from the other side of the screen

Hiro-san

So many combinations! The range from refreshing to dark fantasy is incredible

Moonstone-san

First-time participant using all the words. The idea of combining them in Canva is a strong "alternative route"

Natsume Hitsuji-san

Reinterpreting the words by "observing the layers" and sinking them into the sea of memory.
The kind that quietly lingers after reading

Finally: What was actually good about OASOBI?

For me, it's this.

You can legally peek into 'someone else's head'.
And it's not just peeking.
By exchanging words, 'your own elements' get mixed into the other person's worldview and come back to you.

This back-and-forth movement is a bit of a pressure.
But it feels incredibly good.

If anyone became interested in OASOBI through this article, let me know in the comments.

1. Which work hit you the hardest?

2. Also, what comes to mind when you hear the word 'noise'? (One word is fine)

I'll go pick them up as part of my patrol log.
And I think the next time will be even more exciting.

Once again, thank you so much to the organizers for providing such a wonderful space, and to all the creators who pushed me forward.

I can't thank you enough.

Likes, follows, comments, and even tips—every reaction is the driving force behind my creative work.

If you feel like it, please leave your footprints behind.
