The 'What Is This About' Department Newsletter: The 56th Wednesday Edition

Welcome to the back alleys of the note city. This is the 8th edition of 2026. And it is time for our first-ever 'Wednesday' blast-off. To those of you watching from the world outside of note, welcome. 'What Is This About' is a comprehensive literary entertainment project with the mission of enabling everyone to express even the most trivial things in a fun and free way to serve as an entry point for creation that requires no correct answer. We are seriously creating nonsense in order to give birth to a new creative genre. If you have wandered in here and no longer know 'what this is about,' it might be your turn to write next. I will always be waiting for you here in the back alley.

This newsletter tracks #WhatIsThisAbout which has been secretly reported by correspondents scattered around the world during a set period. This place is where 'What Is This About' department correspondents—who are a bit strange, having noticed the signal to open the back gate and slipped in while avoiding prying eyes—gather from all over the world with blank faces.

(Unauthorized reproduction of the illustrations and photos used in this newsletter is prohibited)

I will not ask the tactless question of where you correspondents learned about this back alley or why you were lured here. This newsletter is simply an entertainment with absolutely no truth in it where I, who am made half of lies and half of jokes, collect your articles that I don't even know 'what they are about,' pour in the pride of a Creative Grand Prize Best Reviewer, and provide a full-throttle explanation that is 'incomprehensible.'

Please know that the creators who usually write articles that are helpful and supportive to someone in society are actually back-alley correspondents who have a hidden side, saying, 'Actually, I like things that are useless.' There are only 'strange' people here who use a single word as a password, freely enjoying the joys and sorrows of daily life without hiding them, and playing by expressing themselves without any constraints. No one knows what all these articles are 'about.' Stories do not need an ending. They are stories in your head. Even so, they connect to something for someone. The back alley is a place to enjoy the posted articles themselves, to search for and think about what is interesting without denying them, to reassure others by saying, 'If there are such strange people here, then it's okay for me to write anything,' and to take the first step into creation by thinking, 'Maybe I'll try expressing myself too.'

Matsudaira Gagaku-no-kami, an indigenous resident of the back alley. Returned to the back alley after a year of rehabilitation life. To commemorate this, the subtitle of the next newsletter will be 'Matsudaira'.

His outstanding literary talent is a feat where you have absolutely no idea what he is talking about. Even though he writes a massive amount of text, you have no idea 'what it is about.' I remember naming him an indigenous resident of the back alley on impulse after the shock of reading his work for the first time. This is his first article in a year, written while rehabilitating. Since I had no idea what he was writing from the very beginning, he hasn't declined at all even after a year. If anything, I feel like the incomprehensibility has amplified. To commemorate his return, the subtitle of the next newsletter will be the 57th edition, 'Matsudaira.' Not 'Matsudaira's,' but 'Matsudaira.' Let's all become incomprehensible. When a person's name becomes a subtitle, it uses Arabic numerals instead of Chinese numerals. By the way, there have been three subtitles with people's names in the past: 'Makura,' '3.7,' and 'Neko-so.' Congratulations on the feat of being the fourth person. So, the next newsletter will be the 'Matsudaira 57th Edition.' I was happy that his return article was, as always, impossible to understand no matter where you read it.

I couldn't wait for the Matsudaira 57th edition, so I am decorating this in commemoration of celebrating it a step ahead.

From July 7th (Sun) to July 12th (Sun) at 23:59. Nanaho's Day. Finally, the apology confection 'What Is This About' is available for pre-order.

As you may already know, our new collaboration apology confection with 'What Is This About,' 'What Is This About,' is finally going on sale. I want to apologize first for bringing this article to the top and letting the world know how cute it is. Why don't you start your summer with an apology this year?

Mitoshi. Planning a Poko-Poke back alley tour around August 22nd and 23rd (Sat/Sun).

Poko-a-Pokemon. I don't know what that is, but it means Mitoshi-san has built a back-alley town and can now actually invite everyone there. Mitoshi-san says, 'I seriously believe that games have enough power to save people a little.' I can't believe what he has done, but for those who have a Switch or Switch 2, or those who love games. See the article for details. It's the best. A back alley is born in a game too.

Keimei. Finally talking about his youth.

Keimei, who is overwhelmingly mysterious yet interesting in the back alleys. I opened up a part of that by posting it for the Creative Awards. It's interesting precisely because it's non-fiction. It's packed with humanity. Life is a series of contradictions. But it's those kinds of nonsensical, true stories that feel like dramas, which happen precisely because we feel the human touch in them. It's packed with being lost in the moment, and I think there was a time here that was silly but earnest. This is hot and silly, but in the end, it's overflowing with love. It's fun.

Eucalyptus Radiata. Burning with passion for English, learning "What am I talking about?" from Mr. Lee via Rie Tomita.

The dream is to serve takoyaki to everyone. That's what Eucalyptus Radiata declared. The day might be near when you can hear it live while grilling takoyaki. If you also want to speak the real "What am I talking about?", you can receive Mr. Lee's audio data. It's 150 points, but it goes toward a donation for Mr. Lee's travel expenses back home. Please cooperate so that Mr. Lee can return home and make "What am I talking about?" popular, and also so that your future self can become famous abroad saying "What am I talking about?". It's so stupid it's great. In this world, music and earnest stupidity easily cross borders.

A back-alley reader who ended up participating (1)↓

Boo's Shrimp Akasaka Branch. Shouting "What are you talking about?" in their first post on Note introducing the shop.

Boo's Shrimp Akasaka Branch, which opened in a back alley in Akasaka. The tag used in their first Note was "What are you talking about?". I don't know any other restaurant that has made a mistake like this. This has the scent of the back alley hidden in the garlic shrimp. Are they setting it up, or are they being set up? I'll leave their Instagram here too. It looks delicious. Someone, please go explore the back alley. Will something new happen? Along with the scent of garlic shrimp, I will also visit in person soon to see it with my own eyes. I'm going to negotiate to see if they'll display my autograph. Second post, getting to know more about this shop. The charismatic staff member who made the poster. It's only been open a short while, but they are already charismatic. Making a poster, writing on Note, introducing delicious menu items, and shouting "What are you talking about?". It's a little bit wrong, but it's wonderful.

Yafu✨Singer-songwriter live success afterglow week

The live concert of singer-songwriter Yafu held on June 23rd. Sold out. It seems 67 people participated on the day. I also happened to be in the group photo. I think it's okay to soak in it for this week. Please read the reflection to your heart's content. Hehe. Second post, Yafu adds a brilliant punchline to a grand success. I want him to rest and recover properly, but making it a bit funny is a foul. The afterglow of success might come with some numbness. Third post, the reaction to a full-throttle live show reaches various places. Interesting. Fourth post, before the burnout syndrome after the live show hits, AI is properly keeping the fire burning. Good friends. CD, ballpoint pen. They are turning out wonderfully. Fifth post, steadily moving toward the next goal. This is important to avoid burning out. With this, the afterglow week is over. Congratulations on the successful live show.

Sugayuki. Challenging the Creative Awards Entertainment Original Work Category.

Completed the best work from the 53rd newsletter as an entry and challenged the entertainment original work category. You are also welcome to join the Sugayuki Theater. By the way, I read it all in one go. The fun comes through. Is it a prank or not? While facing the fiction and truth hidden in the foreshadowing, I am moving forward to find my own answer. But as expected, what's inside Sugayuki's head is incomprehensible. As expected. Fun.

Back-alley youngest artist Yota. Receives a moth orchid from "The What Are You Talking About Group" at his solo exhibition.

Yota finally holding a solo exhibition. People who can receive a moth orchid in their lifetime are limited. So, we sent a moth orchid from "The What Are You Talking About Group". Congratulations. It seems it reached many people. Thank you for always coloring the back alley.

July 10th is Whistling Day. I'm announcing it via Persi.

A day to let whistles ring out toward Okinawa. It's approaching for the first time in a year. To all whistling performers nationwide. It's almost time to show the results of the year on Stand.fm. Whistling performer Konishi Kinoko. I had completely forgotten, but I want to show the results of this past year. Will I end it without doing it? It's amazing that it whistles a little, Persi.

Hiroiten & Mukumi's Back-Alley Exploration

Opening regular segment. Hiroiten's Back-Alley Exploration. This time, we've come to Hanno in Saitama Prefecture. It's udon. We are looking for your back-alley explorations. Great shops are found in back alleys.

The second one, finally an exploration companion. We have an invitation for a classic coffee shop from Mukumi-san. Please stop by when you come to Wakayama. Are you the type who remembers and feels things? Or are you the type who experiences things like an attraction? Surely, the magic of time exists here. The article is a date. I'm jealous.

The legendary "Electronic Book Version of What Are You Talking About" & Snow Honda's "Dyscalculia" book. Selected for Kindle sale.

The back alley of that time is packed in here. 99 people participated. A series of useless miracles. Out of the four books that have started to become legendary, three have been selected for the Kindle sale. Why isn't that one masterpiece selected? It's because it's for adults only. Hehe. This is your chance to experience the back alley of that time. Click for details on the books by each series author and Editor-in-Chief Snow.

Miyu Amafu. This time, she was selected for a 140-character novel.

Tanka, 54 characters, and now 140 characters. I feel like her talent for short-form writing is blossoming. And I'm surely not the only one who thinks it would be interesting if it kept getting longer and longer. The road to short stories and novels is getting closer. Please continue on this 'What Are You Talking About' road. Hehe. Congratulations. You did it.

People who have newly gotten lost in the back alley

I'm sure you're thinking, 'This isn't how it was supposed to be,' but please take a little tour of the back alley. What I wish for is your success on the main stage. You shouldn't stay here for too long. Welcome to the back alley.

If there is anyone who has made it this far, it is a miracle, but nevertheless, this is where the real show begins. Please enjoy the pure 'What Are You Talking About' that continues from the first fortune of opening the gate to the first guard of closing the gate. For the writers, I have provided a table of contents, so please feel free to proceed to your section using the back alley traditional art of 'Jump while pretending to read.' For the readers, please try to imagine my week, laughing and crying. Now, please enjoy the 56th Wednesday edition. There are articles that I have collected and listed in the newsletter, but sometimes they disappear without being saved. I am sorry. If you find any, please let me know and I will add them. Now, off you go.

The first fortune goes to studio_maki🍀note.2025.4.17_φ(･_･☘.

Congratulations on being the first fortune of the back gate opening for the first time in a while, 6.29. studio_maki🍀note.2025.4.17_φ(･_･☘ got it. You rushed in at 0:00, the exact moment the gate opened. 6.29 is also the day The Beatles came to Japan. I want to look up the day 'What Are You Talking About' was born for some future day. Hehe. Second piece, the first half of the year is over. I want to look back and play again while heading toward the second half. I want to go through the Chinowa-kuguri ritual. Third piece, I'm happy. I received feedback on the Creative Awards. It makes me very happy to see how the feedback itself becomes another form of expression and moves forward. Thank you. Fourth piece, Hangesho. Thank you for the article that makes me want to cherish the year. Cherish the calendar. Fifth piece, the lovely illustration is displayed at the opening. Hehe.

The second fortune goes to Neko Sorane.

You can check if your articles are being translated into English. You have kindly taught us such a secret technique. Are you successfully bouncing off the English translations? I am also looking forward to the world expanding through English translations. Congratulations on the second fortune. Hehe. Is this also the beginning of the eternal second fortune legend? Second piece, at the library. You always have an image of being out and about, but you also take proper time to enjoy reading. It's wonderful. Third piece, starting at 0:00 and ending at 23:59. Thank you for your hard work this time as well. As expected. I don't know what the article is 'talking about,' but there are enviable couples in this world.

The third fortune goes to Lisa.

Things that have form will eventually break. We change their form so they don't break. People learn methods from learning to make things stronger and harder to collapse. Even if it is a long way around. What we are aiming for is the heights. Congratulations on the third fortune.

And Akimam.

We are of the same generation. Not only The Blue Hearts, but the musical history that follows from there—I can only nod in agreement. Regarding The Blue Hearts' lyrics, I really want to talk about so many things, but first, you just have to listen. That alone is enough; it is truly there. It's the best. Welcome to the back alley. The second piece is an insect essay. An insect-hating insect essayist has appeared here. Talking about insects. Thank you for the wonderful time. It's becoming bee season. Let's all get along with the bees and be careful.

This is Mami Akimoto.

When it comes to happy memories, stories about her husband come out first. True love exists right here. I couldn't believe such a thing could really happen, so I read it several times, but it was the ultimate display of affection. I'm envious. I want to be loved like that. Wonderful. Welcome to the back alley.

This is Amafu Miyu 📕 Kotonoha Miyu Feuille.

This is a review for the Creative Awards. Writing reviews is difficult, but you have faced it head-on, internalized it, and conveyed it in your own words. This year, I became unable to read at all, unable to write reviews, and fell into a strange state, but being able to read reviews that have faced the work like this makes me want to try writing reviews again. Wonderful. The second piece of happy news is the opening because it makes me happy. Congratulations.

This is Rii Ayano.

As expected, Rii's illustrations are also wonderful. The writing somehow shines even more. I want you to win a serialization about the hidden daily life of a highly capable office worker. I feel like there is a huge demand for it. Because your perspective is "strange." Humans are creatures that want to acknowledge strange people and feel at ease. The second piece, Rii who celebrated her birthday. Congratulations. Please become an even more interesting woman. What increases as you add a year is your charm. You have received many questions. I think Rii, who has become popular before I knew it, is the real deal.

This is ayamo.

A diary. Why is it that even ordinary diaries are interesting? I feel like you are one of the two great diary stars of the back alley. By the way, the other one is ayamo's good friend, Urishima-san. Even though ayamo is just capturing daily life, she makes you read it thoroughly. And yet, it's interesting. I thought deeply about what is interesting, and perhaps it boils down to being able to write honestly about what comes to mind. It might be interesting because your other name is "I'm Not Thinking About Anything." The point is that even though it's a diary, it comes with a recap. The bread making is featured in the opening. Good for you. Wonderful. I know you are busy, but let's get through it. And I will request that I also want to read the columnist's column. Hehe.

This is Ara.

Ara-san, who lives in the back alley of the back alley, the sub-alley. Stopping the mushroom. Never in my life have I felt that moment to be so precious. You should try stopping your mushroom too. There must surely be a perfect moment. It is surely the moment when you feel, what am I doing? The second piece, a conversation between children. That conversation. I feel like everyone has had it in their elementary school days. Heart-pounding. If you encounter it, the older sister's service will change the elementary student's life. Hehe. The third piece, the comment section that seriously teaches faces. Even though a happy world is spreading, what they are talking about is stupid. It's the best.

This is Emi Tani, actress and head of "Alone Theater".

Actress Emi Tani. Meetings and partings happen, but I think the baton is properly passed to those who can properly connect them. People experience many things in life, but what is connected with the same feelings will surely be connected to someone else somewhere else. May it be a wonderful day. The second piece, meeting in person from a connection on note. I think the values in the important parts are connected. You are not alone. I think you can notice such things because you are always spreading happiness to people.

This is Saori Ando.

I want you to read this. I feel like you are facing it in a terrifying way. It is too late to visit actually and say you didn't know or weren't interested at that time. If it is truly anti-war, you must convey it in any form. Please participate in your anti-war with your expression using the hashtag #OnlineAntiWarDemoOnNote. It is a reality that we have become able to imagine. The second piece, I think this article is about "raising AI as your own personal brain and playing with it." Is it something like "accumulating all your thoughts and knowledge in Obsidian, having AI read it, and creating your own excellent secretary or partner"? I don't know what you are doing, but it's wonderful.

This is Tomori Ishimo.

Thank you for the header image this time as well. As always, it fits perfectly. I'm curious how you will express the next "Matsudaira." Hehe. Even so, Tomori-san is popular again this year for the novel for the Creative Awards published on tales. I want it to reach many people. I'll leave the novel here. Take back your youth.

This is Hajime Isshiki.

In the end, there is a place to return to. But I also want to go on an adventure. Only those who have a place to return to can go on an adventure. That is the unreasonable world. I am surely not the only one who feels these detective's mutterings stabbing into me. Interesting.

This is Issei👍🏻.

A world overflowing with information. Even though you've obtained it, you can't properly make it your own. Why is that? It might be because there is a part of you somewhere that can't do it as intended. But, first, just do it. And being unable to even do that is also human. However, that might be exactly why people are beings that should be loved. Why don't you try doing something properly for once? Interesting. Second piece, Issei-san, who encountered a text they couldn't read no matter what. I understand well. In fact, the people here are those who don't understand anything even when they read it, so building up some tolerance here might be an option. Hehe. Third piece, inputting text with a keyboard while looking at a smartphone screen. That might be a possibility. Yodobashi Camera feels like a city image. As expected. Fourth piece, thinking about richness. If you face your own heart, anyone will realize it's not just about money. Money might increase someday, but richness is hard to find. A wonderful essay. Fifth piece, wanting to become someone. Thinking that way might be a human trap. The concept of 'someone' that Issei-san thinks of. This is a chance for you to notice that too.

Itou Ichiko | Quietly playing. Turning the fluctuations of daily life into stories.

There is a reason for nose hair to grow, too. Because as much as it grows, it transforms into such a wonderful story. A wonderful daily life might be hidden inside nose hair. The truth you notice when it grows. A wonderful couple. Welcome to the back alley.

Initial P-san.

There is no woman who suits the night better than a good woman. She starts singing as if the night has been waiting for her again tonight. To blend into the night, you need a moderate amount of alcohol and things in your head. Somewhere tonight, there must be a woman burning with passion to play the role of a good woman to the end. Interesting. Welcome to the back alley.

Inori no Ponmari-san.

Inori no Ponmari-san, who encountered an anime that made her maiden heart explode. I feel like I've regained my own maiden heart through her careful explanation. When your position changes, what you see changes. I wanted to have an encounter like that. I wish something like that would happen in my salaryman life too. Welcome to the back alley.

Ibaraki Ayana | Writer | Former Japanese language teacher/Language consultant.

If you only read the career in the profile, you might feel it's not the time to be saying 'What is this about?', but inside my head, it was a clear 'What is this about?'. I received inspiration from Bungo Japan, but I took it in a grandly wrong way and committed a definite blunder by advocating for something called Japanese Language Material Japan. Is this really okay? In terms of 'What is this about?', it's a big success. Welcome to the back alley.

Imaginaire Atelier.

A new creative label established in Kumozaki Town. We started our activities with the philosophy of revitalizing Kumozaki Town and providing a place where the younger generation can freely express themselves. That's the report I received, but I have no idea 'what this is about'. However, the person inside this. They are quite 'strange'. It's the best. Unbelievable. I wonder how many people are connected in their head and how. Welcome to the back alley. Second piece, the event outline for May 2043 has finally been announced. I can't wait. 17 more years. Everyone, let's do our best. Third piece, I want you to tell me how many people are living in your head. I wonder what kind of timeline you operate on every day. It's truly amazing. Fourth piece, it seems a new song will finally be released. It seems there will be a live performance too. You shouldn't think about how it's happening. Feel it. Fifth piece, Yuzuko appeared. Will Yuzuko sing? Is it even that Yuzuko in the first place? By now, I can accept any Yuzuko from anywhere. Sixth piece, this might be what freedom means. Anyway, it looks fun. Seventh piece, there are 3 public relations staff members. They are crazy. As expected. Eighth piece, Happy Birthday. I'm starting to lose track of who is being celebrated. Amazing. Ninth piece, they are even having a dialogue. They must be a true genius. If I were to compare them, they are like a tree. This person. I can only say they are truly crazy. Tenth piece, they finished it. As expected. Creating an interview article is quite difficult. Making them talk, constructing it, making it understood. I want to applaud.

Iwasaki Fumiki (Comedy Literature Writer).

Those who support also have their own circumstances and eras. Overcoming that, they entrust one outcome. That might be why there is the power to become comrades. I want them to do their best. What will the result actually be? The day I'm writing this is the day before the Brazil match.

Uiro-san.

An event in the middle of the night across Japan where joy, anger, sorrow, and pleasure were mixed, reaching someone's something, and giving various answers. Perhaps it becomes a story precisely because we overcome it. I know the weight of four years. Let's stack up another four years. Second piece, the World Cup from HUNTER×HUNTER. That's right. This is happening because the resumption of HUNTER×HUNTER serialization and the World Cup overlap. That's why stories inside people's heads are interesting. As expected.

Urishima-san.

Urishima-san, an Instagrammer lurking in the back alley. The charm is a diary that is a cut above that wonderful Instagram. I think people on Instagram should enjoy both. It's a waste. Even though it's a diary, it's interesting. I think this is amazing. The record is not a record but reading material. Still, a kind family and a wonderful wife.

Essay! 🍓 Sukoyaka-san.

Getting your hands on something you like. Perhaps people know that in that moment, they can become the cutest in the world. It's bouncing. The text is bouncing. Cute. Welcome to the back alley. Second piece, pancakes are food that reflects a way of life. What is there is stacked. Lined up. Snuggled up. Becoming a circle and becoming a connection. They are letting me peek into the abyss of pancakes. Still, it looks delicious. I want to eat it. Third piece, love might not be something you feel, but something that can be seen in a form. Along with the best love letter, they drag the reader into a whirlpool of jealousy. I'm envious. A wonderful family. Fourth piece, the sweets paradise of the back alley. There is a wonderful house here. Every day becomes happy. Because they know that, maybe the sweets are also happy to go to this house. Wonderful. I can only feel envious. Yota's solo exhibition report is the opening. It seems they visited twice. As expected.

Eto Tamami-san.

First track, Akihiro Miwa. I loved 'Purple Resume.' Another person has left us. Second track, the changing times felt through advertisements. Cats, after all, are best as cats. Third track, Tanabata is near, the end of the rainy season is near. It begins. Fourth track, the ever-changing weather forecast. Teased by the rainy season, it's Tanabata. Fifth track, suama. There is delicious suama in Hiratsuka. It made me want to eat some.

This is Emu no Maiton | Let's Play in the Back Alley.

A novel entered for the Creative Awards. Interesting. The introduction, the setting, the inspiration. Everything proceeds on an exquisite line. It's an opening that makes me wonder how it will be resolved. Maiton's challenge with a novel. What will happen with the Creative Awards? Up to this point, it's the best. Heh heh heh.

This is Chiyo Ohashi.

An introduction to a novel for the Creative Awards. Since it's a special occasion, I'll leave the novel here too. Being able to write sci-fi. I wonder how they let their imagination fly. What are they thinking, and where are they placing their perspective? Being able to construct another world inside one's head. I'm envious. Welcome to the back alley. I hope it reaches many people.

This is Okajun.

Celery chooses its people. Okajun, who was chosen by celery. A duet with celery at the dining table. In a head where celery is playing, touching celery. The best daily life is here, but I don't know what the article is 'talking about.' Wonderful.

This is Yukiko Okano (Polarization) the Hermit.

Yukiko Okano (Polarization) the Hermit, who is currently working on a Braille book. They speak of being a true back-alley native. The more I learn about the ins and outs of Braille, the less I understand why they are in the back alley, but I will accept it because they are a genuine back-alley native. The title is cool. That's unfair. Second piece, they are making full use of a recently popular viewer. As expected of a hermit. I don't know what they are doing, but they have reached a higher level.

This is Office Tsukinohashi.

Convenience can be created by oneself. They explain how to use it. Finding and providing a way for oneself to be happy. It's a wonderful thing, but I have no idea what they are actually doing. As expected. Second piece, they discovered a bug in something I don't understand. Even though I don't know what they are doing, it's clear that something is amazing.

This is Yusuke Kaitou.

By writing in a notebook, you extend the expiration date of your memories. Since it's coming from someone who practices it, it's properly persuasive. If there is anyone who wants to notice even a little bit of their own changes this summer, they might be able to become a little kinder to themselves by passing through Yusuke Kaitou's gate and enjoying it together. Wonderful continuity and wonderful connections are circulating.

This is Kaora @ Parents and Children, Let's Live Our Own Lives.

Kind. I think that kindness is just the kindness the mother gave, now being slowly returned. A son who can properly return the kindness and love he received. Both are wonderful parent and child. I envy a family that circulates like this. Second piece, it's interesting. Observing middle-aged men. This person is already of the same kind as me. That behavior of fantasizing in the car. This is already completely of the same kind as me. I'm happy. It's the first time I've felt like I've made a companion. Welcome to Konishi Kinoko.

This is Kaoruhiko.

A wonderful essay. A life-sized essay feeling the 'ups and downs' of daily life from Kyoto. I think it's a wonderful accumulation of time that one notices precisely because one feels like a newcomer. It makes me want to know Kyoto. Welcome to the back alley. Second piece, a ghost story from Kyoto. I've been waiting for this. A mysterious story coming from real experience. Kyoto suits these kinds of stories well. I'm starting to want to put together a ghost story special. Heh heh heh. It's been a while since the last 'What Are You Talking About' Mystery edition.

This is Yuki Kagamoto.

The chime. There are many people who return to a certain time only at that moment. It might be a magical history that allows us to remember ourselves from just a little while ago. A wonderful essay. Second piece, the magic of the pool. On a day to talk about once-in-a-lifetime encounters. Perhaps we are connected even if we only remember it for a little bit. Third piece, B-side. The happiness of having things that couldn't be said openly, things that one really wanted to convey, be conveyed after time has passed. It's a wonderful time that was needed right now. Fourth piece, not missing the last train, but choosing not to ride it. A mysterious time existed beyond that choice. Perhaps valuing this kind of time is the meaning of life. Fifth piece, petrichor. I won't forget that name. This week is a five-day period that seeps out. It soaked in. Fun.

This is Kaze no Uta no Nausicaa & Nau's Second.

Nau-Nau's entry for the Creative Awards. The Twelve Constellations story. It tells us what lies in the background, but in the end, I felt it was Nau-Nau because of love. That is why I think you can weave words that properly reach people. Wonderful. Second piece, a coffee review. Nau-Nau, who is fully enjoying the 'What Are You Talking About Coffee.' I want you to be the executive committee chair for the October event, but is that okay? Hehehe.

This is Kamonohashi No. 1.

Cruel. The spatial design is meticulously calculated to lead to that point. It is inevitable to be lured in. A cafe that exists to make you fight against an irresistible instinct. However, everyone would think that once you have this experience, you will want to keep coming back. Interesting.

This is Kanna-san.

Nau-Nau on your fingers. It is an important thing in life. Giving Nau-Nau to your fingers. This is a door to unknown good fortune. By equipping Nau-Nau, everything changes. I am sure you will change too when you have Nau-Nau somewhere. Wonderful. Second piece, Kanna-sensei, a holder of the 1st-grade Tissue Calligraphy Certification. She is showing us her rare talent. Please feel the miracle born from ephemeral art. As expected. Tissue calligraphy is the opening. And, Yota's solo exhibition report is also featured in the opening.

This is Kirin Kiki-san.

Tidying up books. Because I am a librarian, it is taken for granted that I can do it, but that is a daily life where it unexpectedly does not apply. Interesting. I feel like this is a common occurrence for people who love books, but the gap with the title of librarian is irresistible. I want this to be a novel. A protagonist who can organize anything but cannot organize their daily life. It is a story. Very cute. Hehehe.

This is Kikko-san.

It is not caramel. But, the sparkling Kikko-san is certainly here. Memories of childhood have been properly written down and have become something that remains like this. Memories are inseparable. Just like that caramel from that day. Wonderful memories.

This is Kinokoro-san.

Bungo Japan for the Kinokoro World Cup presented by Kinokoro World. Once you post something, you can keep giving inspiration to people, which is Kinokoro-san's article. Bungo Japan has also expanded greatly. I want to think about various things regarding this eleven. Are there any writers in this day and age who will become people called literary masters? An era that looks brilliant. I think the Japanese language in the era when literature was the number one form of entertainment was truly strong. Still, I have no idea what you are doing as usual. As expected of your playfulness. Second piece, the true essence of Kinokoro World. How much did we know about birds? If you read this, you can understand that the benefits of birds are immeasurable to us. The only thing that is wrong is that we don't know what kind of 'what are you talking about' this world is, but I think this is a proper education. A waste of the depth of knowledge that is backed up. Being able to do that proudly is the Kinokoro World. Why did only the direction we were heading in go wrong? Interesting.

This is Kyokuya-san.

A man who has been unleashed and is sinful. As a representative sinful man, Konishi Kinoko, I am very curious. This is a must-read. Sinful men. The day will come when you can become a real sinful man with this. I will leave the work here. Looking forward to it. Second piece, while participating in the project, you are properly incorporating it into your own style. I like this atmosphere.

This is Kyomuko-san.

I am in the middle of a time in my life when I feel that that was a truly important time. I am enjoying a reward time that only comes to those who have worked hard until now. I enjoyed it so much that I shouted, 'What are you talking about?' Please be careful because there is nothing but waste here. A wonderful essay. Welcome to the back alley.

This is Ginga no Haruka-san.

To think that a draft on note serves as a letter to a friend. Haruka-san, who enjoys daily life while maintaining wonderful connections. I envy your friendship. I think it turns into a happy daily life because you can seriously enjoy a relationship that continues without profit or loss. Even if it ends up in a result that makes no sense. Wonderful. I want to live like this.

This is Kuu Ariko-san.

Kuhaxis-san's articleInspired by, about Kuu Ariko-san's rainbow. It must be a song that resonates with life. I think the rainbow is a gift that connects bridges of various meanings. Second piece, unlike humans, AI can act according to its instincts to the fullest. It responds directly to the troubles of daily life. Please drink with it someday. Third piece, a rainbow is built from 'rainbow,' and you really go to meet them. This kind of thing happens in life, but if you don't make yourself the protagonist of your life, it's hard to make it happen. A wonderful step. Please enjoy it. Fourth piece, July's words. Words obtained from cards for you. You can read them honestly. As expected.

This is Gregor-san.

It is just as the title says. This feeling. It can happen anywhere in daily life. And in most cases, I am the one who makes the wrong choice. Why do I consistently get these binary choices wrong? The line that emerges as a result: “You didn't have to go that far.” I was saved. Thank you. Welcome to the back alley. Second piece: You can write even if you have forgotten what you were going to write. Gregor, you have such a special talent. I envy you. It is not just a narrative, but a multi-faceted exploration of why we forget what we intended to write. I don't know “what kind of story” it is, but it is excellent. Third piece: X's shadowban. I feel that the X-ness of X lies in the exquisite way they handle it. A mystery with no answer. Fourth piece: What dwells in miniatures is sentiment. Thinking about how it was repaired while also reconstructing the sentiment. It is interesting. I feel the artisan spirit. It feels like reading the organization of thoughts. Amazing. Fifth piece: A very interesting review. Movies and games are both entertainment, but when you delve into the creator's intent, it becomes this interesting. You cannot talk about it in terms of good and evil, but you can learn the charm of a villain. As expected. Sixth piece: Writing honestly about your feelings on an important day will surely reach you later. Congratulations. Seventh piece: Because life just keeps going, perhaps people want to look back while taking a break somewhere. Interesting.

This is Kuroirusuke-san.

Diva Kuroirusuke. Tracing the roots of her song selection philosophy. I even want to hear the song introductions in her singing voice. The song selection is also great. I would like to go to karaoke with her. I am already looking at her as a singer. Hehe. Second piece: Kuroirusuke has acquired a new weapon. Her writing style is bouncy, and I envy that. Should I get a tablet soon, too? Third piece: What is the self? Asking oneself questions. Even if the answer is not clearly defined, I am attracted to people who have the kindness to put it into words. A wonderful piece of writing. Fourth piece: A collaboration between masters on note becomes the pinnacle of modern art. I am sure it is a form where each other's inspiration has been sublimated. Thank you for the wonderful artistic cycle. However, I do not know “what kind of story” it is. As expected.

This is Keimei-san.

A letter to Steinbeck. The life before knowing “The Grapes of Wrath” and the life after knowing “The Grapes of Wrath.” I don't know which one is happier, but perhaps only Keimei can write the sequel. Interesting. The second piece is displayed at the opening. Excellent. Third piece: The true story of Ikkyu-san. Debating the concept of wit. It is trivial but important. I like it. Fourth piece: If you seek genres and meanings too much, you lose sight of the essence. Before you know it, you end up like this punchline. Excellent. Fifth piece: One of the disasters that can happen in the world. The title of elite gets in his way. Does life really need elites? A piece I want to read at a turning point in life.

This is Genchon.

Thinking that Dad is cool at 4 years old, I feel like you are raising them in the best way possible. The mouth might be the source of disaster, so Dad is nervous. Will it continue with Dad being cool? Or will they notice Mom's kindness? I have a feeling they will grow up nicely. Hehe. Second piece: An enviable three-generation motorcycle trip. I think the fact that you can do this is one of the quite miraculous things. I envy you. And above all, I envy Grandpa's beloved bike. I am sure he was happy. It is filial piety. Third piece: This dilemma. It gets more interesting the more you keep worrying, so I want you to write it every year. Please update the record. Fourth piece: A mild Yankee from the back alley moves to Tokyo. I want a live broadcast of this. Please contact the person you want to meet. Finally moving to Tokyo. I wish you had contacted me a little earlier. I envy you. I wanted to meet you. Fifth piece: A story about something. Various problems might happen from now on. But you can only believe in your own “something.” Surely, you will meet someone. Someone who will love your “something.”

This is Chiharu Kazuki-san.

Chiharu Kazuki-san, who talks about the night. I am drawn into her way of speaking. To become familiar with the night, you must know many nights. Where should I go to meet it? I am sure I am not the only one thinking about this. Since it definitely exists in some night, perhaps we have no choice but to enjoy the nights we imagine it in. Frustrating.

This is kojuro-san.

Monday. kojuro, who was not invited on a family trip. Spending time alone might be a pleasure in itself. Maybe tagging along is also fine. Hehe. Tuesday. kojuro. Thinking about tears of joy. As you get older, the opportunities to shed tears of joy increase. It is mysterious. Wednesday. kojuro. The 63rd three-topic story. It is becoming liberated. Thursday, kojuro. Talking about daily life calmly. To get the ideal life, you need a daily massage. A wonderful essay. Friday, kojuro. Talking about essays. I still don't understand what I should base an essay on, but I think the story progresses even if nothing happens. However, since there is no answer, I wanted to start with a massage too.

This is kodemari*.

kodemari*, who shouted “What is this story?” while creating stylish puns. I am worried that the path ahead might become a maze. I want you to push forward on the stylish route and become the fashion leader of the back alley. Hehe. Welcome to the back alley.

This is Kony | PR/Community/Workshop Design.

Kony | PR/Community/Workshop Design, who describes themselves as “a person who creates opportunities and enjoys them together.” They seem like a professional. A professional shouted “What is this story?” in their first article. Is it really okay? I am worried. It is a maze full of people who enjoy things together, so I would be happy if you could play along. I am curious about how “What is this story?” looks to you. Welcome to the back alley. Second piece: Sequel to “What is this story?” They are teaching us wonderful things from experience. I feel like it is not the time to be saying “What is this story?” Placing the center of gravity on words. They are teaching us the meaning of facing things properly. Wonderful. Third piece: The secret of copywriting. The calculation of words spoken by a professional. To add value to that one word, you need the courage to cut. You must never be thought of as “What is this story?” Hehe. Fourth piece: You never know where or what will be given to a person's sensibility. Starting by feeling changes in the triggers that make walking around town fun is one choice. A wonderful article. Fifth piece: The trap lurking in conveying. Words are surprisingly not conveyed when you become self-centered. Perhaps it becomes wonderful if you turn the direction of “why” and “how” toward yourself once. Sixth piece: People you want to meet even online. The emotions that emerge there feel correct. Perhaps we are not only connected on the internet. Seventh piece: Hehe. With this, I feel like the “What is this story?” workshop can become a happier space where you don't know “what kind of story” it is. The mindset for a workshop. It is important. Eighth piece: Wouldn't a workshop become an ideal time if you include outsiders? It is all benefits. Ninth piece: Town development. How to broaden values. Perhaps the reason for listening to many people's opinions is here. I learned a lot. Thank you.

This is Konokono-san.

A mother who thinks of her son. A mother who can think that way no matter how old they get is very wonderful. I think it is also a wonderful thing to be able to properly put those feelings into words. Since you wouldn't have met your grandchild if your son didn't exist, I feel it is a normal sense that your son is the number one. It conveys that it must have been a wonderful life. If you want to shout something, please shout “What is this story?” Welcome to the back alley.

This is Kohaxis-san.

The choral piece “Niji” (Rainbow). Exploring its depth. To express a childlike heart, there are things that must not be lost. Replacing that with pure words is more difficult than anything else. Because it is adults who have lost it who are thinking about it. That is why I think the songs that are sung for a long time are the few real ones. This is a song that makes you cry. Second piece: Something called a fugue poem. Creation is circulating. It looks fun. From this kind of connection and inspiration, it seems like some story will be born. Third piece: Try reading it thinking it is a story about brain training. In the end, what did you feel this story was? That itself becomes brain training. Here, the essence of a detour from brain training is hidden. It is the best kind of stupidity, but I understand. Fourth piece: The Kohaxis. Interesting. I want to write something like this. The terrifying experience that seeps from the writing style. It is hard to write. As expected, the world of Kohaxis is interesting. The scope of play is wide, so it can be read properly as an expression. Amazing. Fifth piece: Fugue poem final series of poems. I feel it is worth trying by inviting others, as it might be able to broaden the range of your own creation. Everyone looks like they are having fun.

This is Kohan-san.

Fugue poem. I believe this is a baton passed from Kohakusis-san above. The destination of the baton of thought. I don't know 'what kind of story' it is, but perhaps the creator themselves can enjoy the expansion of the world of poetry. A wonderful relationship. The second piece, a short-short. While it has sci-fi elements, it feels like non-fiction. It draws the line right at the edge of the reader's perception, so it's very rewarding to read. It's amazing. Even if I wanted to write it, I couldn't. Interesting. The third piece, the fugue poem, turns into linked verse. Perhaps it's a creation that can only be made because they are people who trust each other. Fun.

This is COBITo | A person who writes stories [Delivery rate 120%]-san.

Illustrations are provided from the entries for the Creative Grand Prize Romance Novel Category. They are all wonderful illustrations. The worldview is unified. I only feel the magic of fascination, but I wonder if magic really doesn't work. Since I'm at it, I'll leave the novel magazine here.

This is Coffee Love-san.

This is the moment a resisting girl's maiden heart explodes. I know that a girl who talks about this and that is the cutest. I think there is someone nearby who will love her no matter what she looks like. I'm envious. For now, the lemon sour surely knows all the feelings that were packed into it. The second piece, a wonderful story. Surely, it's what everyone wants to know most. Parental love. I don't think there is anything stronger in the world than being able to love unconditionally.

This is Kohmi Ito | I want to write and make the world lovable-san.

Living a solid life. Spending every day while judging what to do. You are living a wonderful life. If you can slowly judge what you can and cannot do within that, I think that is the best. Please enjoy your current life to the fullest. Hehe.

This is Koyagi | Living quietly-san.

Even if they don't mesh, Koyagi | Living quietly-san, who shouted 'What kind of story is this?' and even visited the back alley. Even if the conversation doesn't mesh, it's wonderful to be able to properly record it as an interesting daily record. This becomes a splendid 'What kind of toothless story is this?'. Hehe. Welcome to the back alley. The second piece, Koyagi-san talking about writing style. I think it's very amazing to be able to write prose where you can tell who wrote it. The framework of a tanka poem. Not saying too much, leaving it to the reader. It's hard to do. We are the ones who want to talk a lot because we want to be understood. I want to continue to worry and keep writing from now on. A wonderful talk. It conveys that you love expression. The third piece, Daikichi (Great Blessing). A Daikichi with no complaints. It will also deliver happiness to you, the reader. A good color.

This is Cori | Glasses shop essayist-san.

Prep school. Words that the generation that created a dazzling structure just by the sound of it should carry. Magic words that only make you feel like some kind of privilege exists because it's a prep school. Not knowing that at all. Perhaps children don't learn morals while remaining children. These days, I feel like I've reached the age where I'm starting to think that we are the ones who created it. Hehe. Welcome to the back alley. The second piece, there are various forms of adultery. The adultery here is one of the beautiful forms. Attracted to each other. I think you can live your best life if you only have that truth. Interesting.

This is Saisei Hoshu (Literary Flea Market Sapporo A-20)-san.

What on earth is this? A 'What kind of story is this?' by Saisei Hoshu that is worth reading while thinking. I think the person themselves has finally come to understand that the world they see is different from other people's. It might become a masterpiece. I want them to answer in an interview someday, 'It was from around this work that I realized I was different from others.' The second piece, this is why I can't quit Saisei Hoshu. Even though it's a series, there's a sense of discomfort. I'm excited about what will happen. Even though it's just 'nan' (naan/what). Interesting. The third piece, I think their own unique world exists properly inside their head. Here, this character. Saisei Hoshu freaks will get excited here. Interesting. The fourth piece, I want to meet this kind of character in my own work. A character that proceeds on their own inside me. I want to try depicting their life. I have no idea if it's a 'story about naan', but it's the best.

This is Sakata Toshiro-san.

They have appeared. I have no idea what on earth this 'story' is. It's the best. Daily life transmitted from sci-fi. Daily life of the secular world occasionally inserted. It becomes unclear what kind of story it is from which world, but it's interesting. Perhaps the world is more fun when it's this incomprehensible. Welcome to the back alley. The second piece, Hiace and thoughts. Running together forever. Being together even if the world changes. The eeriness of women in the delusions depicted. It's the best. If a car and a woman appear, that is the best moment. I have no idea 'what kind of story' it is, but this is romance. The third piece, what lies beyond patience. The wonderfulness of Kumiko being Kumiko. I would like to experience the world beyond patience while having this kind of conversation once, but I still don't know 'what kind of story' it is. It's the best.

This is Sakuraba Miyu 💕 A person who delivers kyun ⭐️-san.

Ikikko Club. I want to let you know about something I was able to learn anew here. Not Onyanko Club, but Ikikko Club. In this world, such fronts and backs properly exist. And because there is someone who tells us about it, they teach us the atmosphere of an era that doesn't fade. And the news that it unexpectedly reached the person themselves. 'What kind of story is this?' might spread even further. Wonderful.

This is Sakurai Toko-san.

Toko-san, who has a prophet at home. Daily life might be an adventure and a treasure. The more accurate the prophet, the more they might know the atmosphere of the family. A wonderful daily life. The second piece, thank you for your hard work. Sakurai Toko-san, who is like a protagonist in a drama. What will happen from here on? This was number 12999. Congratulations on the near-pin, Niki.

This is Sakou-san.

Sako-san has delved into historical fiction. What does it mean to project and speak about an era? Thinking, weaving words, and questioning what is necessary for the current age. It feels like a good fit. Wonderful. For the second piece, Sako-san. I can't remember the Croatian hero. I feel like I understand. For the third piece, society is built on craftiness, and once you enter, change rarely happens. Who ends up losing in the end? I can only sigh. For the fourth piece, what is the concept of a full charge?

This is Tomonori Sato | Former Coast Guard -> Graduate student.

It's a crossroads. How one builds a career and lives is up to the individual, but just by reading, I feel like I'm living a life like someone in a story. It's fun to learn about this process, but this is no time to be shouting 'What are you talking about?' Interesting. Welcome to the back alley.

This is Sato Lemon-san.

Even when thinking calmly, there are times when there is no answer. Because you write your words straight when thinking about something, it's easy to read and sinks in without strain. Things more important than money. They do exist after all. Welcome to the back alley.

This is Haru Shibu-san.

To think I forgot to include this article in the newsletter. I remembered wanting to cherish the feedback I received on my own article, and my brain arbitrarily decided that such a wonderful article couldn't possibly be a 'What are you talking about' piece. This is not a 'What are you talking about' piece. It's a love letter. Thank you. Thanks to you, it has spread to many people.

This is Sally-san.

Sally-san and her partner have stepped into a realm they shouldn't have. The best pudding presented by a duo captivated by the alluring sound of 'Married Woman Pudding.' You too can taste the pudding-pudding. It makes you want to buy 'Married Woman Pudding.' Welcome to the back alley.

This is sanngo-san.

Sanngo-san's work is steadily reaching people. The person herself is humble, but the numbers don't lie. It's proof that there are many people who need it. Wonderful. May it reach many more people. Since a work reaches people after it is written, it will continue to spread from here. And asking AI about oneself. Everyone, please try it too. Hehe.

This is Rinka Sanjo-san.

I think being able to write a self-introduction with life-sized honesty is because you have faced yourself honestly to get there. I have many faces. I know that it's okay for each face to bloom in a different way. That is why I think it is charming. A wonderful self-introduction. For the second piece, the playfulness of creating a mysterious world is wonderful. It makes me want to get lost in it. I feel like the mushroom forest is packed with a genuine cuteness that only those who arrive there can read. Hehe.

This is Eita Shikishima & Ebichiri-san.

Good news for those playing Minecraft. We are looking for people who can enjoy Minecraft together. I don't understand the system well, but are there branches within Minecraft too? I am looking for people playing Minecraft in the back alley. Hehe. There is one person, so I hope you can find each other. Welcome to the back alley.

This is Shigure-san.

I want to see the world like this. I feel like having this much dream is the goodness of creation. It expands. It makes you happy. It makes me want to try drawing such things. A wonderful work. For the second piece, the magic of a futon. What is there is an absolute relationship of trust. Interesting.

This is Sakukin Seijin-san.

Not abstinence, but an experimental record of life recovery. 105 days. Social conditions woven through illustrations. It's interesting. It's about the AI bubble. I feel like it's becoming the most interesting right now. It's interesting because the path forward hasn't been clearly paved yet. Who will build the path?

This is Shiro-san.

The time spent thinking before going to a fortune teller. The time spent thinking after going. Perhaps all that time is also part of the fortune-telling. Shiro-san received some wonderful words. I believe they will continue to carry those words in their heart as they forge their path forward. In any case, I'm glad they weren't told, "What are you talking about?" Welcome to the back alley.

This is Riku Sukimoto.

Here is another insect essayist who has appeared in the back alley. As someone who belongs to the insect community, there is no greater happiness than being able to read about insects during this season. Please enjoy the wonderful insect essay by Riku Sukimoto, who fully enjoys life with insects every day. Heh heh. A fellow traveler.

This is Shizuki-san.

A hangout spot. A place where people gather even without a reason. A hangout spot that you have no choice but to accept as it is. That is the very abyss of a hangout spot. With a writing style that draws you in, weaving in a sense of unease, they keep you entertained until the very end. It is a wonderful guide to hangout spots. Welcome to the back alley.

This is c’est ma vie-san.

Being able to write honestly. It's not easy to do. I can clearly see how much inner conflict you must have gone through to reach this state of mind. I believe that because you took action yourself, you were able to encounter new goals and ways of thinking. There is nothing wrong with opening yourself up with all your might. I believe such feelings and such a heart will attract the people who need them. You are surely lucky every day. It doesn't matter if things are big or small. I think that after you enjoy the accumulation of small things, you will realize you have grown big before you know it. Since you were born, everything else is just a bonus. Please enjoy it. For now, since I've only told you good things, I'll send the bill to your parents. Let me know if you want to go for a drink. Welcome to the back alley.

This is Zenkei-san.

It's trivial, yet I'm curious about what happens next. I'm drawn into a world where foreshadowing is laid out. It's so trivial, yet I'm drawn in. Why am I drawn to such stories? That is the Zenkei magic. Even though nothing happens when you read it, you still want to read it.

This is Sorairo Shashinkan-san.

Just looking at wonderful photos is healing. Photos reflect the sensibility of the person taking them. Wonderful. The second one, leaf veins. It's a leaf vein photo exhibition. It's calming. The third one, a wonderful photo, is number 13001. Heh heh. The fourth one, a look back at June and the announcement of the July theme. Why don't you participate too and show us your wonderful perspective?

This is Soranoiro-san.

A draft aged for a year. Is this about that party? A year has passed since then. I never knew there was someone who had written down their maiden heart so much. How cute. The draft still carries the scent of the memories from that time. A wonderful sublimation.

This is Yuni Sorahara-san.

A jump rope episode that is so Yuni-san. A battle where boys and girls mix. You must not ignite the competitive spirit hidden deep within that cuteness. What lies behind the cuteness is a figure that never gives up until the end. Calmly. Yet passionately. The second one, food essayist Yuni Sorahara. Finally diving into everyone's question. The seaweed on ramen. When exactly is the right time to eat it? The endless battle between seaweed and Yuni begins. How many more bowls and how many more sheets until it's solved? Interesting.

This is Shiimo Takatsuka | Mother of 5.

Mother. Getting to know your family in order to become even more of a mother. Because the gaze you cast upon every day is truly reaching them, I believe happiness visits you in those moments when absolutely nothing is happening. A wonderful family. I'd like someone to do a documentary on you sometime soon.

This is Takatchi-san.

When the back alley's pants craftsman took off those pants, what remained was his love for his wife. Love that remains with a naked heart. Love that remains even when everything is laid bare. I hope you will continue to write about this love and give it to her as a book. Because this is love that is two sides of the same coin, like a single piece of cloth. The second one, the pants craftsman who returned. Is it just me, or do I feel unsettled if I don't read about this daily life where pants are present? It's reassuring. The third one, a pants dictionary is created. I'm sure I'm not the only one who has had such a dream-like delusion. The fourth one, the pants craftsman's first time in the middle of the night. I'm curious about the whereabouts of the pants due to the shock of the pain, but the story of the pants doesn't come up. That is the preciousness of the first time. From the second time on, the pants appear. A wonderful record. The fifth one, Personal, Aruaru, Naze, Tenkan, Sage. Do you know what this is? Here, the back alley's pants craftsman has announced the PANTS syntax. You too can become a pants craftsman with this. It's the best. The sixth one, the blue ocean yet to be seen. To the heights of pants. Finally, Takatchi has tightened his pants to shine as a pioneer. I believe the pants craftsman will surely transform into a pants great. Heh heh. You should tighten yours too.

This is Tadano Tsukasa-san.

Things that we acquire and intend to use with care, only for them to lose their chance to shine someday. No one knows when the day will come when the wish for that "someday" will be fulfilled. However, if they can be remembered and written about like this once in a while, I feel like they are fulfilling their purpose. Hehe. The second piece is a Tadano Tsukasa essay about Tokyo. Good. It makes the city feel like a living creature by looking down on change and habit. While reading, I really thought that was it. As expected. Interesting.

This is Miho Taniguchi | Posting about things she likes with a focus on health!

While reporting on her phone upgrade, she shouted, "What are you talking about?" Congratulations on the upgrade. I understand that joy well. It's snappy. It's a snappy march. Please enjoy it to the fullest. Welcome to the back alley.

This is Takeshi.

Measurement: who measures, and for what purpose? Takeshi-san has come to fundamentally experience the significance of that. Through the measurement situation in the country of Tonga, he has experienced firsthand that common sense exists to be broken. Perhaps people cannot measure anything at all. Interesting. Welcome to the back alley. The second piece: life is full of variety, but I wonder if there are really scholars in a place like this. Even though it's not the time to be saying "What are you talking about?", I have no idea "what the story is about" at all. Interesting. It's irresistible that he's writing about something that is absolutely unnecessary. Hehe.

This is Tama-san.

A torrent. Is this the daily routine that should be called a torrent? The endless errands and desires that begin after waking up. Provisions for life. Coupons for Lawson. Tama-san's daily life is busy again today. Thank you for your hard work every day. As expected. The second piece: Tama-san, who looks good in poems. Daily life begins with the weight sinking into the fingertips. People live every day feeling some kind of weight. Perhaps the correct answer is indeed Mapo Tofu. Interesting.

This is damaruko.

A 54-character reform. The 54-character spice is working to its full potential. Hehe. Welcome to the back alley.

This is Dareka Non🦔Byou de Yomeru (Someone who can read in seconds).

Dareka Non🦔Byou de Yomeru, who thinks about the social structure of conveyor belt sushi. Even when eating out with family, the structure is on their mind. This might already be an occupational disease. I want you to cherish being able to notice trivial discomforts. Interesting.

This is Danke Hitsuji.

A cute worldview has been completed. It is so cute that it is displayed at the opening. I will also leave the shop here. Danke Hitsuji, who always supports me. Thank you so much for connecting words to expression and expanding the world. I want to continue to enjoy the world that the White Snake has expanded.

This is Chigyo-san.

Is it a story about flowers, or a story about having a flower garden in one's head? Chigyo-san, who lives a daily life of tug-of-war between making plants useful or making them cool. I hope you will continue to let it bloom as "What Are You Talking About Flowers." A habit-forming way of speaking. Welcome to the back alley. The second piece: a wonderful daily life. Perhaps you can talk to plants. You acquire certain things with that aesthetic eye and demonstrate your sense to make every day certain. It is a rich daily life. It makes me want to peek in. It's wonderful.

This is Chiisana Tanoshimi no Tane🌱 (Seed of Small Joy).

Chiisana Tanoshimi no Tane🌱, who has reached what lies beyond the rugged. Photos of shadows taken on the summer solstice. I think it is a delicate and wonderful sensibility, far from rugged. Perhaps the real thing is delicate and rugged. Welcome to the back alley.

This is Chikuwa.

The last day of the Earth that makes you want to imagine it. What would you think about? If you could behave as wonderfully as Chikuwa, you might be able to spend it laughing. It is a wonderful "What Are You Talking About Umbrella." Welcome to the back alley.

This is chimo.

Chimo-san, who is looking for a sincere gentleman. I hope for the moment you utter the word "gentleman." I know that in your wonderful daily life, a sincere gentleman is already by your side. When will you say it? The countdown has begun. Thank you for your sincere daily life. You are welcome to practice on me first. I am waiting.

This is Narune Choyama-san.

Narune Choyama-san, whose booth happened to be next to ours at the ZINE Festival. As someone who knows them personally, I will just say that they are very much my type of woman. This is an article where you can clearly understand what kind of expression Narune Choyama-san wants to create and why they enjoy facing the act of creation. I recommend you get closer too. Hehe. Welcome to the back alley.

This is tuzuku-san.

tuzuku-san, who was so impressed by Kinokoro-san's short-short story that they spontaneously underwent metamorphosis. To be so moved by a wonderful article that you proceed to metamorphosis. I don't know "what this story is about," but you never know where human inspiration is lurking. I am sure it will lead to the next cycle of creation. Wonderful.

This is Tsumama-san.

Because you care about your daughter, you also care about the person she has chosen. It is a story I hear often, but I feel like this is the first time I have read about parents who actually practice it. A wonderful family. Perhaps connections become stronger through things that are invisible. 42 years old. It is a story about such a daughter to be proud of. Wonderful. Welcome to the back alley.

This is C. Diem-san.

Thighs. Thighs. Thighs. Thighs. They all have a wonderful ring to them. What is it? The thighs that draw us in. I feel like they are packed with nothing but magic. I don't know "what this story is about." It is the best.

This is T K-san.

High school memories. Elective subjects. The diva of the back alley chose art to show off a glimpse of that talent. It is the best. And above all, as someone who prides themselves on being a back alley expert, you remember it well. Since various things are born every day at the same time and on the same axis, someone's memory is a precious asset. I look forward to your continued success as a back alley expert, no, a back alley pain. I bestow upon you the title of "Back Alley Pain." Second piece, T K-san who took the 16-type personality test. What on earth did you get? Why not make it public? It is mysterious, but that is exactly what makes you the back alley pain T K-san. Hehe. Third piece, it seems that song is finally reaching completion. Connecting with various people and using trial and error. I am looking forward to seeing how it turns out.

This is Tailwind-san.

The magician of words has appeared. What is this? What is this story about? If you can feel it rather than think about it, that is the correct answer. Play with words as you wish and express yourself. We just need to feel the expansion of this world. As expected. I don't know "what this story is about," but it is a wonderful poem. Welcome to the back alley. Second piece, is it luck or is it fate? Only the chosen ones can taste it. Perhaps there are people who will end their lives without ever tasting it. Luck and fate are two sides of the same coin. Interesting.

This is 1°C Lower Than Optimal Temperature-san.

Interesting. A structure that doesn't seem to have incorporated the prompt. Even though it is fantasy, it incorporates reality and makes you accept the setting. I think it would be fun if I could write like this. Amazing.

Dekoru's Rant Theater

When people are influenced, they take action themselves. Dekoru's Rant Theater is driven by the urge to move their body and finally gets their hands on a sacred treasure. Whether to use this sacred treasure or display it, I will start by doing mental side-to-side jumps here. The movement has already begun. Looking forward to it. Second piece, once you start, you can't stop. You don't do anything halfway in work or life. If you feel like you're going to fail, jump and shout. "It can't be helped." It's not a bad life. Wonderful.

This is Tokyo Local Iwao-san.

How much money can you spend on a haircut? Perhaps a society of disparity and thinness exists here too. When you feel an unexpected disparity and thinness, how would you respond? Please enjoy the courage of Tokyo Local Iwao. Second piece, Complex Rhapsody. A way of using painful passion as if a song is playing the whole time. It makes you read. For some reason, I feel a sense of sorrow in the way Tokyo Local Iwao makes you read. Interesting. Third piece, I decorated the opening with wonderful hydrangeas, so I should go viral too. Hehe. A story that exposes the essence born from the desire for approval. When people are trapped, they can't see anything. Interesting.

This is Toko_akatsuki-san.

Dogs have their own world, too. Taking a walk is not just fun; it is also a trial. The sadness of losing something you cherished in an instant. Dogs are living their lives in their own world today, too. Heh heh heh. Welcome to the back alley. Second piece: a suspicious document where I don't know 'what it's talking about.' I'm curious about what was actually written. Perhaps it's better not to know the truth.

This is Tokiwa Baran-san.

Here, I have companions. I have reliable companions. That's right. Smartphone companions. There is an expression here that can only be written on a smartphone. And I feel happy that there are companions who are loved by the act of writing on a smartphone. When it comes to heading toward something, it doesn't matter if it's a PC or a smartphone. Interesting. Welcome to the back alley.

This is Toshi🎈|Follow-back 100|Former Mess-up Guy-san.

Encounters with people. At the moment of parting, perhaps you can measure how much that person had entered into your own life. Just by thinking a little about parting with the people around you now, it might turn into precious time. Let's cherish each encounter. Second piece: something new comes along. When that happens, it becomes something old. We should be properly grateful for that. I should have learned that, but it's a daily struggle. The couple here makes that a part of their daily life. It must be wonderful. Please stay happy together forever. For some reason, it makes me cry.

This is Rie Tomita 0 to 100 'From Nothing to Something'-san.

As I decorated in the opening, there is one person here who plays seriously. Perhaps they came to the back alley as the manager of Lee-sensei, an English teacher who became the most famous person in the back alley overnight. Thank you for valuing playfulness. The article is truly 'What am I talking about?' As expected.

This is Tom.Msn-san.

The pros and cons of inside jokes. Inside jokes are not necessarily a bad thing. If you can set proper rules for inside jokes and make people feel like joining in, I think it becomes the best kind of inside joke. From the inside to the outside. Interesting. Second piece: a journey tracing the etymology of playing cards. Perhaps the birth of words happens when coincidence and fate overlap. The words we are speaking now might someday become the new common sense in some country. Third piece: society runs on an exquisite balance. Both are necessary balances. Interesting. Fourth piece: Gacha. Before being swept away by the atmosphere of that word, it teaches us that it is important to step firmly, move, and think. Wonderful. Fifth piece: what's important is the smartphone battery, not life. Perhaps it is the battery that is connecting our lives. Something created by modern society. This is also interesting.

This is nao-san.

From shiritori to insects. Another insect essayist is born here. When you meet a Japanese long-horned beetle. That might just be a harbinger of happiness. Why do insects have such beautiful colors? How did they start to shine? I want your family to solve that mystery. Summer is just beginning. Insects are just beginning, too. Heh heh heh. Welcome to the back alley. Second piece: continued shiritori. You are writing about the happy thoughts you can only write now, felt through shiritori. Growth is fast, so I think it's a happy thing to be able to write down what you felt in that moment. Someday, you might read it together and the day might come when you play shiritori again after a long time. A lovely piece of writing.

This is Nagi-san.

Introduction of a work submitted for the Creative Award. You are aiming for it after rewriting it to the very end. I believe that genuine words will reach people. Since it's a special occasion, I'll leave the magazine here too. May it reach many people. Second piece: I didn't know it was that effective. Amazing. Perhaps the real youth begins after you can no longer fit in. Heh heh heh.

This is Nagisa Iru-san.

It begins. Things begin. Summer vacation, when I realized that. I want to escape reality, but what attacks me is already decided. Mother. An article of determination before it closes in. Have a good summer. Thank you for your hard work. Since it's a special occasion, I'll leave a cute LINE sticker here. Second piece: Nagisa Iru-san, who was born to write, to think about settings, and to keep writing. Please find the hidden treasure. The thoughts of that era remain there. And, I want to see the treasure, so please DM me if you find it.

This is Nacchi@Yomechi-ga-Eiyogen-san.

While admiring flowers, Nacchi@Yomechi-ga-Eiyogen-san's thoughts shift to admiring people before they know it. What the hydrangeas brought might have been a beautiful heart within themselves. I don't know 'what it's talking about,' but looking at flowers is elegant. Welcome to the back alley.

This is natty725-san.

The things you love are the most sinful ones. I thought I had made them turn around, but it was I who was made to turn around. Even so, they are enviable because I love them with all my might. Heh heh heh. Second piece: you are free to compare life to whatever you like, but I think it's a wonderful way of thinking. In a life where you never get everything, you can decide what to choose. What's there is your own stage, and there is no big or small. I think it's fine if you can enjoy it and be grateful. Someone will carry on the lingering effect. Third piece: whether your choices are correct or not. Sometimes the results don't appear in an instant. However, it might have been good because it was a trial after fully enjoying the value of the choice. For now, it's a story that makes me want to be careful. Heh heh heh.

This is Namiasamu-san.

Nami Asamu, the POP artisan. Please take a look at their brilliant 2026 works. These all stem from the mission: 'I want you to look at the POP and read the work. I want you to read the work and look at the POP.' It's wonderful. If you would like to have one made, please read the summary in the article and apply. A wonderful 2026.

This is Nami Kazuki.

I want to form a fresh cream alliance here. If Nami-san is going to hold back, I must eat it in her place. That thing is magic. A magical food. It brings happiness the moment it touches your lips. It's surely not the fresh cream's fault. I want you to forgive it. But the cuteness of doing it for her husband is unfair. The second piece, that enchanting child. I don't know who thought of it, but that child is on Japanese dining tables. However, I feel like this is the first time I've heard someone talk about that child. As expected.

This is Boulay of the 🌈.

Money. When you think about money, you start to want it. It remains a question whether it is necessary or unnecessary for life. Whether it is happiness or unhappiness cannot be judged by money. Humans are complex and interesting. My whole heart is stolen by the red-bellied newt. Heh heh heh.

This is Nichijo Mujo.

Nichijo Mujo's coffee review. As expected. The lychee coffee has stepped up with high prestige. That aesthetic eye that can draw things to blend into daily life. Along the way, the true self that is far from the prestige that gets inserted here and there. A collaboration with Lace Flower Coffee Masaru-san. You can really enjoy it. As expected.

This is Hibi Kore Kojitsu.

It's a fantasy novel. I don't know where or what I should explain, but even reading from here, it's truly a fantasy. It makes me want to peek into the mind that can create this worldview. UNI. You can experience that world. Interesting. The second piece, perhaps because it's fantasy, I can receive the clean things as they are. It becomes a strange sensation. I can become pure. It's strange, but I'm drawn in. The third piece, why is it? I'm empathizing with it. Even though it's a sea urchin. There's a part of me thinking, 'Do your best.' I wonder why this is. The fourth piece, fantasy. That word fits perfectly. It makes me want to know what's inside the head. It's a mystery that even though I don't know 'what it's about,' I can think of it as a grand fantasy.

This is nima_mama.

Nima-se, or 'Watasu.' Breaking a two-week silence, she asks, 'What are you talking about?' Life, I don't know 'what it's about,' but I think the wonderful thing about Watasu is that she can properly write about what lies beneath. It is an essay born from the time of two weeks. Watasu is wonderful. Even when she is melting into smartphone games. The second piece, I was thrilled to return to Watasu's storytelling. Interesting. Love visits suddenly, so I'm curious how her writing style will change if she transforms into a Watasu in love. Even so, I think various things are happening in various places regarding the definition of being good at work in terms of soba. The third piece, it's the 13,000th milestone piece. I don't know if it's the most 'what are you talking about' piece, but congratulations. Please send a DM. You did it.

This is Nyankoromochi R | ankoromoti-nya.

Nyankoromochi R | ankoromoti-nya, the soccer boy in the back alley. He was hyping up the World Cup. It's not over yet, but the fact that I don't even feel like it has started might be because I was seriously expecting it.

This is Gnocchi and/or Takahashi.

Gnocchi and/or Takahashi, who has a stomach full of liveliness. He reveals his mental preparation before undergoing that annual thing. No matter how much you think about it, that thing will come. No matter what excuses you make, that thing will come. Please watch the process until one human being becomes prepared. The second piece, we tend to lose sight of our purpose and don't know what we are doing. Here, we have a representative who speaks for us. This might be what you call charisma. Interesting. The third piece, a talkative style precisely because he can't drink alcohol now. I feel a good way of aging in a writing style that can make you drunk. Wonderful.

This is note Sora.

A work participating in the 'What Are You Talking About' House. Note Sora, who sandwiches things that are visible and invisible for her husband. I think she is happily sandwiching her days because she knows that kindness. A daily life where the wife's heart is also sandwiched. Kind. The second piece, an homage work. Magic is interesting because it happens occasionally in life. I also want to be someone's wizard somewhere. Heh heh heh. Encounters might also be one of the magics. I like it.

This is Nono Nonono.

The Nonono house weekend diary. It teaches us that daily life is a story. As expected of the Nonono house. Enjoying Disney on the big screen. The great adventure of the windshield wipers at the car wash. Demonstrating precognitive abilities during a typhoon. As expected. Interesting. The second piece, a mother. She is very busy, but she enjoys herself properly, shares with others, and watches over her child's growth. I feel like she is a wonderful wife. Thank you for your hard work every day.

This is Norikana.

New products are constantly appearing in the world. People never know the stories behind them. I want to know the thoughts entrusted to Pino Girl. I want to try eating it. Second piece, a wonderful dream. It is coming true. I want to spend my days enjoying the fact that this is happening. Everything else is just a bonus. Third piece, Rin. There has been a sense of dignity in Norikana-san and the tea room from the very beginning. It is truly wonderful to see you facing the way of tea head-on.

This is Nontaro-san.

I thought love was something that just overflowed, but love can run dry. This is an important thing that we must keep in mind as we live our lives. If we don't properly prescribe it from the little things in daily life, it might turn into a big problem. I wonder if it's possible to have a pair of water insects. Interesting. Second piece, even though I should know myself best, there are times when I neglect myself the most. I think it is truly wonderful that you have found a way to face yourself properly and refresh. It is a realization that comes from cherishing every day. Wonderful. Third piece, assisting in a junior high school class. The tremendous energy reaches even here, which is interesting. But the field is tough. Thank you for your hard work.

This is Persi-san.

What is the Gekidan Shinobu (Ninja Theater Troupe)? I don't think that mystery will ever be solved; it is a modern urban legend theater troupe. It seems a voice drama performance was held. This time, too, it was done in secret. I hope that one day, a theater troupe performance will be held publicly. Second piece, do not look. Do not do it. Do not peek. These are all magic words that crumble just by having a woman nearby. Hehe.

This is the person who lives freely in the world of 8K (the purple section of modern madness and intelligence).

There are things in life that one simply cannot accept. You are confiding such worries to us. I am savoring the happiness of living as a partner while holding onto the lifelong, troubling question of why only my husband is called handsome. Perhaps only those who are popular can have worries that never disappear. It's okay. Your wife is definitely wonderful too. It's a pity that if it were me, I could tell her directly. Welcome to the back alley. Interesting. Second piece, the person who lives freely in the world of 8K has found the truth in the battle against G. You are pointing out a truth that no one else has been able to comment on until now. How long will this battle continue? I don't know what you are writing about. As expected.

This is Hanako-san.

The history of Hanako-san's "What are you talking about" is being spelled out. Red Checker. I still don't know what "what are you talking about" is, but it must be Red Checker. There is no doubt that its radiance is illuminating something, even if it is wrong. Please continue as you are, wherever you go. I am rooting for you.

This is hanasaku-san.

I find myself forgetting things more often for one reason or another. I am happy to know I am not the only one. Even so, the way you cherish your daily life comes through. Daily life is a story. Thanks to the app you chose to help you focus, another story is being born. Wonderful. Welcome to the back alley?

This is Panic-san @ Expressing the Heart.

Eyebrows. They are an important part that controls emotional expression. To give presence to the eyebrows, Panic-san @ Expressing the Heart entrusted the fate of the eyebrows to hair growth. It makes me want to support the journey of the eyebrows. Interesting. Welcome to the back alley. Second piece, the way to win at the Game of Life might be connected to the way to win at life itself. If you want to learn how to win, please proceed. Hehe.

This is Hanemiya Itoyo-san.

Hanemiya-san, the undercover investigator of the back alley. Tonight, in the forest, you are getting guidance from oracle cards for the progress of a top-secret mission. Hanemiya-san has started growing succulents. I am curious about how that will turn out. What on earth are you going to use them for once you multiply them? I look forward to your report. As expected.

This is Papa Mane-san.

Time with your children. The time children can be children is limited. Everyone knows this, yet we overlook it. You have written down firmly that you cherish the present, and you are re-examining it. I think the important thing is that you were able to write down that you felt that way. Wonderful. Welcome to the back alley.

This is Haru-san.

The pants craftsman of the back alley chanted the PANTS syntax. And here, Haru-san has announced a syntax that learned and evolved from that. Its name is the SHEEP🐑 syntax. By inserting emojis in between, you are also adding changes from a visual perspective. Its definition is Start Hint Explore EGO Pon! I don't know what you are talking about, but it is the best.

This is Hanbunko-san.

A master has appeared here. A shocking announcement using PANTS syntax. By making full use of it, they cast off their own PANTS and promoted their Kindle publication. I would like to pay my respects and share this announcement here. The title is, “How to Organize Your Mind for Someone Who Won’t Regret: The Brain Memory Release Technique Reached by a Temple Wife Who Prepared for Death Twice.” The release date is Thursday, July 9th. It will be 99 yen for the first 5 days (0 yen for those with unlimited reading). It is scheduled to be 480 yen from July 14th onwards. Please check it out.

This is Akira Hiiragi.

I feel like this year's cold is hard to shake off. It's not just because of age; there are many people around me who feel the same. I've been thinking more and more about how truly important health is. With a renewed feeling to cherish each day, they are shouting “What are you talking about?” grandly. Wonderful. Welcome to the back alley. The second piece is by Akira Hiiragi, who is fascinated by shijimi (freshwater clams). Their affair with the shijimi burns with all their might in a momentary sparkle. Shijimi and Akira Hiiragi. Please savor the fleeting memories of the two of them. Interesting. Hehehe.

This is Hiiro.

I am who I am today because of who I was in the past. No matter how I might have chosen differently, I wouldn't have arrived at who I am today. That is why, if I can enjoy who I am now, that choice was not a mistake. Let's enjoy the current moment. A wonderful article.

This is Viola.

Correspondent V, living in Germany. They have been secretly teaching us about the situation in Germany from the back alley. There was a reason why the communication was interrupted that was serious enough to make one fear for their life. With a gripping writing style, they let us experience the latest heatwave vortex of this year. The photo of the air conditioner that moved me so much is displayed at the opening. I'm just glad you managed to get through it.

This is Hyaku Hiroshi.

Actually, Hyaku is the holder of the record for the most participation in the newsletter. Monks appeared in Nagano. Monks forming a line. Hyaku had a mysterious encounter. The events that occurred after that encounter. I don't know why, but this is Hyaku's world. As expected of the record holder for most participations. I still don't know “what you are talking about.” Interesting.

This is Hiraku∞.

A gift from Hiraku∞ to those who worked hard on the Creative Awards. Surely many people must have been pushed to their limits. They are telling us that you are not the only one experiencing this phenomenon. Anyway, good work everyone. Hehehe.

This is Fazaru.

The “What Are You Talking About Flowers” that I also decorated the opening with. It seems they have had various experiences. They are not just a fruit lover. Hehehe. I feel the joy of being able to read such articles normally. Wonderful. I hope you can go to Riyadh.

This is Fukai Umi.

This is a milk portion essay. I have never read a milk portion essay that felt so pure yet dangerous to mix. The encounter between the two, woven by milk portions. Do you mix it, or do you not? The story is born again today across the cash register. Welcome to the back alley.

This is Hiiragi Fujimoto.

Living in a worldview where even a diary reveals who wrote it. I think they can clearly see what should be expressed within a solid world. A stylish diary. Even the spelling shows a spread like poetry. I don't know “what you are talking about,” but it's wonderful. The second piece is about a flat tire incident. What was needed to solve it was not technology, but connections with people who have the technology. I feel it is truly reassuring to have people you can rely on in case of an emergency. I'm glad nothing happened. Mom. Please give me permission to go out for a drink. Hehehe.

This is Fuji Hachiko (Pachiko⭐︎) Sage.

During the long-awaited collection period, Pachiko Sage started the review from 0:00 unexpectedly. I wonder what will happen with the long-awaited collection. The second piece, the wonderful singing voice is at the opening. Pachiko, an art piece born from “What are you talking about?” Please enjoy the waste of that talent. Amazing. The third piece, the new product announcement and Pachiko's position in soccer. Perhaps they were the goddess of victory. The fourth piece, Pachiko. Discovers how to spend time as a cat. This is a very useful story. You should try being a cat too. Recommended. The fifth piece, Pachiko's collection of works. When lined up like this, Pachiko's greatness stands out. As expected, Pachiko is amazing. I don't know “what you are talking about” for any of them, but they are interesting. The sixth piece, I feel the space between fiction and non-fiction. Interesting. The seventh piece, I don't even know whose account this is anymore. I envy the talent to create chaos by oneself. The eighth piece, Pachiko's design. It's cute after all. You can tell well when you line them up. Wonderful. The ninth piece, Pachiko. Challenging Nani. Pachiko, who knows no bounds. They are even expanding their range to Nani. The tenth piece, Pachiko. Declaration of explosion. Please try exploding to your heart's content. I feel that the moment after everything is gone is when something is born.

This is BLUE.

A number game that started on day 209. Before I knew it, it was day 545. The stage of asking what we are doing has passed; we exist to quietly watch over each day. I don't understand the world of BLUE at all, but it's the best. The second piece, BLUE's perspective. Always finding something and thinking about something. It's just that I don't know what the world they are staring at is "about." The third piece, BLUE's train and station series. Why do they make such discoveries every time? I think it's because BLUE lives in entertainment every day. The fourth piece, another encounter on the train home. An unexpected sequel. That's unfair. The fifth piece, the abyss of BLUE found within meditation. "Odenki gas" is in their heart. They didn't say anything, yet it's interesting. The sixth piece, the world of numbers where BLUE has reached the peak of 200 million. Is there an answer to the numbers that continue forever? A mysterious world. The seventh piece, BLUE's daily life is somewhat fairy-tale-like. I wonder if they have a cute antenna attached. The eighth piece, the road that continues far beyond 200 million. It's endless. The ninth piece, are they in a story every day, or does the story come to them? Their mind is a bit strange, but this is the world of BLUE. I'm envious. The tenth piece, what lies beyond the numbers is accumulation. It's mysterious. Numbers. The eleventh piece, miniatures and the world of BLUE. What's there is not a small world, but the entrance to a large world. It's wonderful. The twelfth piece, the 200 million BLUE. I don't understand the color, but the color is clearly expressed. As expected. The thirteenth piece, from miniatures to transcending time. Perhaps BLUE is becoming a concept rather than a person. This time was also the best. The fourteenth and fifteenth pieces, a mandala of thoughts where the world of BLUE is unraveled. The chart is also displayed at the opening. They weren't just a station hopper or a number traveler. There was a reason for this "strangeness" of thought. With this, you too can become BLUE.

This is Blue hand.

Something triggers a sweet memory for me. I like a woman's gestures in such moments. No matter how old I get, I want my life to be exciting. It's wonderful.

This is Furuya no Mori.

True love is something that is gently added. What I learned from the delicious chicken mince bowl is that true deliciousness isn't just about adding something. Taste over appearance. I think the truth is hidden in things that cannot be seen. A wonderful family. Welcome to the back alley.

This is M from the editor's postscript.

A busy mother every day. I think the magic of McDonald's exists precisely because the children know that. I think the joy of "thank you for your hard work" comes from feeling the mother's devoted love every day. Thank you for your hard work every day. Next time, please let me join you for McDonald's. Welcome to the back alley.

This is Hotaru.

Perhaps my father equated the meaning of saving money with his daughter's growth. Perhaps the more he saved, the more he knew about love. If the daughter decided how to use it, I think he was saving up happiness. Welcome to the back alley. Wanting to learn piano is a path that leads to the present, isn't it? Hehe.

This is Potato Potato.

Love. It is something to be hidden. Something you don't want anyone to touch. It's enough to just feel innocent love quietly. Even if people around you understand that you "like" someone, if the person themselves admits it, their daily life changes. By hiding love, you can enjoy every day. Whether you interpret this story as it is in the refrigerator or replace it with someone you like, the development changes. Hehe. An enviable love. Welcome to the back alley. The second piece, the back alley is where people who like "ponkotsu" (clumsy/useless) things gather. Here, too, one person has been born who loves the clumsy and is loved by the clumsy. The clumsy are also a fine line. It's like a mirror; the more a person understands that they are clumsy, the more they are loved by the clumsy. A masterpiece is born. The third piece, AI handover work, but I don't understand what I'm doing at all. It's best to just get along with AI.

This is Hoyoko.

Gardening. The greenery increases in the blink of an eye. Quietly, yet passionately, Hoyoko faces the greenery. Without forgetting gratitude for the things that live in the garden, she maintains order and wields her skills. While overcoming the fear of those who creep in. Wonderful gardening. The scene comes to mind. Thank you for your hard work.

This is Maki @ Growing up with kids.

A loose, silly, yet warm fantasy serial novel written by Takars Office manager Maki 🌟 Another World Meatria. Since all the characters are like protagonists from the start, it's a fantasy novel that tests the manager's skills. Since the whole office is fantasy anyway, it feels like reality instead. How far will Takars Office go? What on earth is this adventure "about"? I want to request a live-action stage adaptation. It's the best. Please enjoy the moment when the climax approaches and the mysteries are solved. Whether it's the fortune or misfortune of choice. I'll leave the magazine with all the episodes. The last one is Maki @ Growing up with kids talking about 18. It's a finish that wraps you up, but you don't know "what it's about." As expected.

This is Makikura Minomushi.

Creating a comfortable space for yourself. I think that's very important. Even if you run every day, you get tired. Knowing how to create a moment where you can be yourself is not a trivial matter. In life, we call that "wonderful." A wonderful person.

This is masaru_sun / lace flower coffee.

I want to read it slowly. As if savoring it. The kindness that comes through because we have surely been together for a long time. It's not just the children who grow, but the parents as well. There is no hierarchy there, and time passes equally for everyone. A wonderful essay. That's why I want to drink coffee. The solo exhibition review I went to by mistake is the opening.

This is mashiro/☀Supporting movie review comments for unwatched movies.

Bana-taro. Will you be active again this year, blowing away those wonderful summer memories? Or have you become the next generation of Bana-taro? A happy, oscillating fantasy presented by the first-generation Bana-taro and his second daughter. I want to be turned around and blown away this summer.

This is Mahiru-san.

In your first note, you shouted, "What are you talking about?" I can tell from your writing style that you are someone who weaves wonderful words. I am curious about how you will express yourself in the future, but if you use the phrase "What are you talking about?" you will end up here, so please decide whether to come back after experiencing various other people. Hehe. I am waiting for you. Please enjoy expressing yourself. Welcome to the back alley.

This is Mayumi☆-san.

Is it a mysterious incident? Strange events happening around you. Can the great detective reach the truth? You are shaken by the words "presumed innocent." You are very smart. In your second piece, the days given to you by pink salt provided a change, showing that no two days are the same. It makes me want to enjoy every day. Wonderful. Third piece, takoyaki. Even though it is the same word, it has a different meaning. Here is an octopus fascinated by liquid nitrogen. Crackle, crackle. Crackle, crackle. Fourth piece, red. Knowing its meaning. Because it is a beautiful color, it stretches that moment and makes it look beautiful. I will use it with care. Interesting. Fifth piece, the world is full of mysteries. That is why I think people who can create mysteries are wonderful. Please try tasting a mysterious world. It might be an entrance to something.

This is Mayoi-nagara, Kurasu-san.

I want to hear it at least once. Mayoi-nagara, Kurasu-san, you were able to witness such a historical moment. It might have been the moment we learned the true meaning of why we were born. Interesting. Welcome to the back alley. Second piece, the World Cup has started, and perhaps it is thanks to soccer that I was able to learn that such a cute woman is here. Hehe.

This is Mayo-de-sengan-san.

Drawing people out from the world of games. The Mayo-talk seems like a story of memories, but it is not. It reaches the true nature of the satisfaction people gain. Is what is being exposed "what are you talking about"? Please, do read it.

This is Mari🌸Hana-oi-bito-san.

There is a secret happiness in German eggs. A vortex of great thought awaits in small things. The magic that makes people imagine something is a magic that can only be performed because people have imagination. I feel that these small things are important. Welcome to the back alley. Second piece, tea in Germany. It is very wonderful that you tell us the uses for it. And above all, what I want to convey is "What are you talking about, flower." Amazing. Stylish. I feel like every day will become fun. I think this is what it means to add color to daily life. Wonderful.

This is Mantenboshi Tsukiko🌙-san.

Nails. To break free from the habit of biting nails, you begin a mountain climb of thought. You realize your love for your nails from within the steep mountain of thought. Perhaps nails grow precisely because they are loved. An article that makes you spend more time staring at your nails, even though you don't know "what it's about." Interesting.

This is Mie｜What is Lynch Syndrome?🐤-san.

Has there ever been such a tense live broadcast before? The more flustered humans get, the more interesting things happen. The calmness of society that ignores psychological situations. The body and mind between calmness and passion. It draws the reader deep into a vortex of empathy. Stories are most interesting when you are in trouble. Welcome to the back alley.

This is Mikumayutan-san.

Popular author Mikumayutan. While publishing books with over 1,000 copies sold, I want to know how many Mikumayutans are running the Creative Awards and the Creative Award reviews. I feel there is much to learn from how you move and how you use your head. The article is a review worthy of you, but I don't know "what it's about" that you would introduce me through a nipple connection. It is the best.

This is Mikenyan🐈️-san.

This is, presumably, a cat. Perhaps only you think it is a past life. Everyone knows you are a cat even now. The pinnacle work of "What are you talking about, meow." A post from the cat itself. Cute.

This is Mitsuba-san.

Through a strange turn of events, what was supposed to be lemon syrup turned into something else entirely. It's mysterious. But I'm incredibly curious. I want to try drinking it. It's the season for plum processing this year. However, the thing that should be there is nowhere to be found. Daily life is a drama. Interesting. The fizzy documentary has begun. Heh heh heh.

This is Minarai_Lv41.

Minarai_Lv41 is a man with an extraordinary obsession with ballpoint pens. It's not about whether they are cheap or expensive, but how easy they are to write with. In pursuit of that ease, he wanders through stationery stores and 100-yen shops. The ultimate masterpiece he glimpsed beyond mere ease of writing was found even further beyond that. Here, a ballpoint pen fantasy has begun. Interesting.

This is Miyabi.

For the applause on Sunday. Tuning oneself. Even though it's hard to do even when you try, you are conveying it properly in your own words. It's wonderful. I'm sure it comes to mind even without trying to think about it, but I believe that kindness is being conveyed properly as well. In the second piece, I was only familiar with the "Erlkönig" piece, but I might not be able to listen to it normally from now on. I had no idea it was this amazing. The happiness of being able to read an article from a pianist. It's an amazing profession. Conveying a story beautifully without making it obvious. They are performers, but I feel like they are craftsmen. Amazing.

This is Mukumi.

The wonderful tour of retro coffee shops is the opening alleyway exploration corner. In the second piece, it's bleeding through. You remember conversations and gestures clearly, and you talk about your complicated self. The person involved doesn't know this wonderful side of a woman, and only the reader gets the happiness of reading it. I can feel the shape of love. Wonderful. It makes me want to wish for it to last a long time.

This is Mnemosine Corunco.

Dark fantasy. This might be my first time reading it. Even though it feels like I've entered another world, the sheer impact of the words is overwhelming. Because of the impact of the language, even if I don't know what it's "talking about," the reader imagines it on their own. I can't write things like this, so I'm envious. I'll leave three novels here. Welcome to the back alley.

This is Moeka.

I don't know how many times upheaval visits a life, but Moeka chose to record the upheaval firmly and notice her own changes. Even though you didn't move to gain something, the fact that you were able to notice a new self as a result is because you cherished every day. I wonder if you are an acquaintance of Tabbies-san. Masa-san's famous quote was so cool that I couldn't read it. Welcome to the back alley.

This is Moka | Tokidoki Devil Nyan.

The things that divide "cute" in the world are mushrooms and cats. Since neither could give way, you put them together. Wonderful. And yet, they are wearing them. Cute. Being cute even afterwards is cheating. Thank you for the wonderful "What kind of Nyan talk is this?"

This is Mosquito Eri.

Mos-Eri's romance novel has begun. When it becomes a novel, the writing style becomes beautiful. It's somewhat detached, and while cold toward oneself, it seeks warmth toward others. It seems to be complete, so I will read it. I'm looking forward to it. It's a very intriguing work. What will happen?

This is Mochino Asako.

The secret to going back to sleep. Reading this, everyone can rest assured and head to this world. The mystery of wanting to read it every morning. Welcome to the back alley.

This is Mochimochi🐹🌹♡+©️Kanaemochino | Note Idol | Over 360,000 views🐠🪸 | Kanaemochino |.

Princess Mochi is curious about morning ramen. Will the day come when morning ramen is added to Princess Mochi's morning routine? I would love for you to experience a new morning and report on it.

This is Mone | Note for my future self.

The car turn signal issue. I see it often lately. Why don't they use their turn signals? It might be because more people are becoming self-centered. Once again, I want people to drive with the belief that safety should be a priority to avoid causing accidents. Thank you for the wonderful 'What Are You Talking About Car'.

This is Mon-yami (Shin-ya-mi En) san.

Favorite numbers. Everyone might have a number they are drawn to, but this might be the only place where you can read a love letter to the number '9'. If you can think that there are as many feelings as there are numbers, you might be able to like numbers a little bit more in life. Welcome to the back alley.

This is Wataru Yasuda | An engineer who creates the future with a love for anime and human power.

The email problem. It's tricky because you can send them anytime you want. What time is acceptable? Yasuda-san is a first-class businessman who worries about that much. Surely, it will convey that you are loved. Second piece, Yasuda-san. You are good friends with Alexa. Here is the smart elite life. Third piece, Yasuda-san, swaying between 'konnichiwa' and 'konbanwa'. As expected. Fourth piece, Yasuda-san, who has a body type that doesn't gain weight. It is quite difficult to put back on 5 kilos once lost. Good luck with the reverse diet. Fifth piece, Yasuda-san. You are forcibly told to break up and then shower your new partner with personal information. Please make sure you don't get away this time.

This is Yamako Yarman san.

Learning about incense. Placing yourself near elegance and surrendering yourself to the scent. A journey to find the origin of the smells in your heart. Elegance might actually be closer to you than you think, perhaps something you've kept covered up. Here, I would like to introduce the elegant person Yamako Yarman, who shouted 'What Are You Talking About Incense' with a high fragrance. Welcome to the back alley.

This is Yamabiyori san.

Are you writing a series based on some kind of rule? I was called to a world where I don't know if it's a 'What Are You Talking About Poem' named a fugue poem. It seems like masters of wordplay are playing with words. The creation seems to be circulating and it looks fun. Why don't you try participating too? I don't know if you can participate. Hehe. Welcome to the back alley. Second piece, the wonderful fugue poem goes into the world of tanka. You can see that while thinking about various things, you cherish the happiness of meeting people connected through words. You are telling people that creation is fun. Cool. Wonderful.

This is Yamamotojanai san.

Banataro's Summer. A work that became a hot topic in the blink of an eye after its release this summer. A talked-about work that is rumored to make you feel like you've watched it even though no one has. Here too, a fool drawn into that rumor is playing an active role. It's the best.

This is Yuagari-virgin san.

Is a little devil something you raise or something that grows? The boundary between a playboy and a little devil learned from communication. Perhaps on either side, you might be making people happy. The fun of being able to look at humans from a bird's-eye view. Perspective. I'm drawn in. Interesting. I want to start everything from a secret story. Hehe. Welcome to the back alley.

This is Miwa Yutani san.

Back alley artist Miwa Yutani. She knows no bounds to her exploding love for mushrooms. Which mushroom do you like? I used the header image for my icon. The wonderful mushrooms are displayed at the opening. And the proof that you participated three times is also at the opening. It's the best. Thank you as always. Someday, when there is a Konishi Mushroom Exhibition, please provide a piece. Second piece, I want to live in a way that I can always convert misreadings into delusions. This might be a groundbreaking measure against nearsightedness and farsightedness. For the first time in a while, I wanted to walk without glasses.

This is Yuzuko san.

This is an announcement for a book club. It's the season to read ghost stories. I want you to write one. Since my head is like a ghost story, I definitely want you to write one. Hehe. Second piece, is this really the second piece? I saw Yuzuko somewhere, so I've become unsure if this is the right place. As expected. I can only say as expected. The article is some kind of guide. Amazing. Third piece, I feel like Yuzuko is becoming more and more active. She might be able to become a central figure. I am looking for someone who can talk to me about this matter. Hehe. Thank you for your hard work.

This is Yutori no Aru Otoko san.

Here is one more person who felt something they couldn't explain. To experience that time, there are four more years. There is no choice but to walk the story that can only be updated four years from now. I want to keep stacking up four more years, pretending I had forgotten.

This is Youkan san.

Romantic comedy. You, who know that once you step in, there is no turning back. Here, someone is teaching us where to start if we want to do a romantic comedy. Rather than thinking about what they are doing, it is time for us to think about what we should do. Truly impressive. Second piece, the solo draft meeting of Yokan, which is already reaching its third installment. I can't help but feel that even professionals are paying attention to this information. You must not ask what they are doing. Third piece, happy birthday. Will a surprise happen? Will it properly become a surprise? I'm looking forward to it. Fourth piece, birthday. I am shouting again today for the future of the Fighters.

This is Yoboseyo-san.

These days, being born in consecutive years becomes a topic of conversation. I feel that the recent flow of the world is that until someone appears who thinks that is strange and expresses it properly, it continues. Is it diverse? Or is it just that there are more people with shallow thinking? I feel like there are fewer people who can write properly. Interesting.

This is Yomitaro-san.

To be able to experience reading and properly internalize it into one's own thoughts. I want to be able to write impressions like this. To internalize and dialogue with what is there within oneself. To be able to feel the moment one's own words are born. I want to read books.

This is Yomogi-san.

Yomogi, who is opening the door to literature and moving forward. To depict the human heart, depicting introspection from description. Is what is reflected by the figure facing worries their true self? You can learn that writing is about depicting things that are invisible. Truly impressive. Interesting. Second piece, a Taisho Roman tale written by Yomogi. A masterpiece by Yomogi that allows you to feel the Taisho era just by reading it. I don't know what on earth it is "about." Finally, episode 81. Wonderful. Third piece, emptiness cannot be healed in the city. But there is a reason to go to the city. I think that is surely because you want to embody loneliness. Interesting. Fourth piece, Taisho Roman tale. When you come here, the world changes all at once. It is truly unbelievable to be able to depict an era. Even though it didn't exist, you can depict its atmosphere. You can feel like you were in that era. Still, I wonder how far their mind is connected. Amazing. Fifth piece, they are good at depicting wavering. One episode is dense. I want to read the introduction, development, turn, and conclusion of one episode more slowly and at greater length. Amazing. It is interesting after all. It seems you are feeling weak, but you are properly facing things that only you can write and depict. When you feel loneliness, it is proof that you are moving forward. You cannot be lonely unless you confront it. I think you are doing something amazing. Please continue.

This is Ragohamu-san.

Enka that starts with a heart-fluttering feeling. It seems like it will help me remember things I had forgotten. I don't know what it is "about," but it is the best. Welcome to the back alley.

This is lani-san.

From the rumored Fluffy Club, they came by asking, "What is this about?" It is enough to just feel it. It is enough to just feel this fluffiness. Cute. Welcome to the back alley. Second piece, there is also a preview for the fluffiness. I get excited about the preview fluffiness. Cute. Just simply cute.

This is loveheart (Love-Seba)-san.

What is important does not need to be written. What is important is to declare it. To declare it even if you don't write it. I have firmly engraved it. Surely, you were just embarrassed to write it. It is okay if it is a video. Cute. And the way you carry your feelings is always wonderful. Second piece, Disney diary. Amazing. There is a meaning to the perks. This is enviable. And, as always, Disney suits you this time too. Hehe.

This is LOVE-chan♡-san.

I was shouted at with "What is this about?" in a wonderful Stand.fm collaboration. Meeting creators with whom you can have casual conversations and broadcast together. It is something that is not easily done, but it is wonderful that you are firmly connected. Welcome to the back alley.

This is RaM Secretary.

The wizard secretary who healed my fatigue this time as well. I received a gift in the best form for the start of summer. More than that, a major announcement is being made here. Can we meet? Will I actually be able to meet the secretary? Such a near-miss miracle will never happen again. I am excited.

This is Rimo (Back Alley's Fura-Fura Fufu)-san.

It is the long-awaited Fura-Fura Fufu. I am curious about where you are popular lately. I would like you to write about your popularity. It is sneaky to bring out a sense of style after a long time. An artist is someone who can bring out different expressions even with the same music. Mr. Rimo is the one walking around in reality looking for such artists. Truly Fura-Fura Fufu. Enviable.

This is Rimito-san.

Invasive species. Once you've noticed them, you can't just leave them be. Here, we have a warrior of the eradication squad. It's troublesome. If someone doesn't notice, it spreads in the blink of an eye. And yet, the overwhelming majority of people leave it to someone else. Because there are people who care like this, things are often properly protected. It's wonderful.

This is Riro @ Minecraft Beyond the Night.

What on earth is this about, if not playing Minecraft? I want someone to explain it to me in Minecraft terms. I have no idea. This is the magic of late night. The second piece, I have no idea what's going on. This is Minecraft.

This is Ruru.

Delivering words to someone while dealing with harsh side effects is something not many can do. I believe the kindness you receive is returned in equal measure to what you give. A wonderful connection and a wonderful business card. And above all, the Ruriboshi-kamikiri (Japanese blue longhorn beetle). Beautiful. I'm envious. The second piece, the wonderful bento packaging is also displayed in the opening. A wonderful journey. We travel to look back on things. I envy the existence of a journey where you can vividly remember that time. This is what it means to be etched into the heart. Wonderful.

This is R-nrun.

Who knew that a Sunday Married Couple Theater existed as entertainment in the town of Note? It looks like a conversation between a married couple, a tug-of-war of affection. A husband who can't honestly tell his wife he wants to go with her. A wife who knows that but can't honestly say she wants to go. In society, this might be called showing off one's affection. There are many enviable couples hiding in the back alleys here, too. A wonderful daily life. Welcome to the back alley.

This is Frozen Fried Oyster.

What can be written right now. That is everything, and I believe you have overcome a lot. Perhaps, right now, I feel there is someone somewhere in the same situation. It's not about good or evil, but I think humans are meant to have things happen that are bound to happen. It's okay to never forgive for the rest of your life. I'm truly glad you were able to move on from there. The courage to move forward is wonderful.

This is lordhermal89.

The two-line charisma, lordhermal89. Two lines are enough to shake people to their core. As expected.

This is Rocho-tei Shujin.

Anecdotes, fables, fairy tales—none of them reveal the truth, only concepts are passed down through time. Rocho-tei Shujin has recited a passage of King-Ruma here. I hope it is deeply passed down. I don't know what you're doing, but it's the best. The second piece, an ostomate toilet report. Important information. However, you are going to various places every day. I'm envious. The third piece, Rocho-tei Shujin talks about soccer. I feel that there are people all over the country who know the same thirty years of passion. Next time for sure. The fourth piece, Rocho-tei Shujin's King-Ruma. Fever as a featured image. What attracted it? Wonderful.

This is Watariame.

While it seems like you are just going through your daily routine, in reality, it's so busy that music is playing in your head. With the music of thought in full swing, Watariame is enjoying every day again today. It's wonderful that you can enjoy yourself while thinking about your family, your meals, and various other things. Thank you for your hard work every day. The second piece, the shooting star that is too good. It's nothing but a shock. The essence of 'oshi-katsu' (supporting your favorite) is here. And the color chart is displayed in the opening. It's truly amazing. You should witness it too. Hehe. The third piece, the artist Watariame. I think I also had the banana displayed in the opening. I'm envious. It's wonderful.

This is Wonton.

As expected, it's interesting. Even though you're just talking normally. A way of speaking that starts with a late-night phone call. You make me want to read even when you're talking about nothing in particular, in a way that's nothing in particular. I'm curious about what you're thinking. I really want someone like this to become an essayist. It's natural but wonderful. However, I don't know "what it's about." The second piece, I love it. I really love this essayist. You don't try to look big, and even though it's just as you are, it sinks in. You're here. Someone who writes the truth. The third piece, a man's storytelling, perfected here. This is storytelling. Storytelling that heats up this night. Storytelling that passionately argues that meaningless things have meaning. I am looking for a night that makes me think, "What a cute person." I don't know "what the article is about." It's the best.

This is the Third Guardian, Mimizuku no Mimi & Shiina Otowa.

Starting with the first fortune of the gate opening, these are the last three guardians who protect the back gate of the alley. I place people who are truly outstanding in what they are doing or people who have made me feel kind. "Strange people" are chosen, but I am so exhausted when I choose them that I don't even know why I chose them, so even when I look back later, I don't know why I chose them every time.

Congratulations on finally becoming the Third Guardian. If I can listen to such a wonderful collaboration, it's the Third Guardian even if I didn't wish for it. I was completely healed. And a collaboration created with me in mind. I am happy for this wonderful encounter where I can enjoy the circulation of expression. It is a happiness to be able to taste such moments. Still, Shiina Otowa's reading is wonderful. I'd like to ask for a phone call sometime. A good voice. Was Mimizuku no Mimi aiming for the first fortune? That is intense. It's the magic of 0:00. However, everyone has a chance. Just press the post button at the exact right time. There are many people who weren't picked up because they were too early. Hehe. Please give it a try if you'd like. The Third Guardian is quite valuable. Congratulations.

This is the second guardian, Bungu-san.

My mother speaks seriously. I observe her seriously. Observation born of love. I make sure to remember even the most trivial things. I feel that recording them like this becomes an important record of love. Even if it is a story about poop. It is the best. The second one is out. Karuta. The people who gather here are people who express themselves beyond the concept of shame. I recommend it even just for observing. Still, this Karuta is unfair. The third one, Karuta. Look at these members. Since they are all strange people, I feel like I shouldn't have opened it. With that said, congratulations to the second guardian.

This is the first guardian, Sabachi-san.

It is just as the title says. But, does anyone in the world exist who has gotten this close to Kintaro? The more I reach the truth, the less I understand what "what kind of story" it is. Is Kintaro a "what kind of story"? It is an opportunity to rethink it once. Please try talking to the Kintaro inside you. Interesting. Congratulations to the first guardian. With that, I will close the back gate of the 56th Wednesday edition of the "What is this story?" Department Newsletter. Thank you for your hard work.

Various essential items for the back alley that color the articles of "What is this story?", decorative bands, stamps, postcards, etc., are here. Please feel free to download them to enjoy your creative work and color your articles. Cute is justice, and it is the only correct answer.

Newsletter Postscript

Everyone, how was the Creative Awards? Did you enjoy it? It happens every year, but from now until the end of the year, the number of people quitting increases. I have always been pleading for people to use "What is this story?" before they quit. I believe there is a world where you can have fun. Being chosen for something might be a happy thing, but the reality is that some people end up putting down their pens because of it. You could say they were that serious, but it makes me lonely every year. Every time that happens, I always think it is a miracle that people I don't even know where they are are sharing the same time and laughing somewhere. I intend to enjoy the miracle gathered in one word to the fullest within the limited time. The "No" issue is in the editing stage. The order has solidified. And, from the 7th, apology sweets were also sold. In the autumn, we will hold the "What is this story?" Festival. I think it would be interesting if I could meet many people. When collecting, I often see connections and collaborations that were only possible because of continuity. I want you not to forget that fun. If you cause something, it is natural that something will happen. I think that because it causes pros and cons or changes, you can know yourself. If you don't quit, you will be given various emotions just by that. For example, even if you feel frustrated or sad, that is just a fleeting moment in life, so please enjoy that situation and that version of yourself. What you can taste because you continued is the number of failures rather than successes. I think that will surely become a taste that no one else can produce someday. Even if it doesn't come true now, I am enjoying it by thinking in a roundabout way that it will come true in the next life. The next collection will be from July 27th (Monday) to July 31st (Friday). It will be the 57th "What is this story?" Department Newsletter, Matsudaira edition. I have been writing nonsense and enjoying not knowing what will happen, and I have reached the 57th edition. It is fun to experience an unbelievable expansion. I am acting with the thought that I want to depict this world expanding further into the outside world. Thank you as always. The article summarizing the trajectory of these five years was proof that I enjoyed it with you all. Thank you for the many impression articles as well. I believe that expanding is directly linked to your articles being read and the possibilities of new expressions. Let's keep playing and having fun. It was fun because I collected after a long time. After all, there are many strange people in the world.

What are you talking about
