“What is this story?” Newsletter, 41st Cat-Thought Edition

Welcome to the back alleys of the note city. It is time to blow away your Monday blues. And for those of you watching from the world outside of note, nice to meet you. “What is this story?” is a comprehensive literary entertainment project with the mission of enabling everyone to express themselves freely and enjoyably, no matter how trivial the subject. If you have wandered in here and no longer know “what the story is,” perhaps it is your turn to write next. We are always waiting for you.

This newsletter tracks #WhatIsThisStory reports secretly submitted by correspondents scattered across the globe during a set period. This place is gathered by those who are somehow “strange,” who noticed the signal to open the back alley’s rear gate and slipped in quietly with a straight face.

(Illustrations and photos used in this newsletter are prohibited from unauthorized reproduction)

In this newsletter, I will not ask the boorish question of where you correspondents learned of this back alley or how you were lured here. I simply collect your articles—which I don’t even know “what the story is” about—and pour in the pride of a Creative Awards Best Reviewer, providing a full-throttle explanation of “nonsense.” It is entertainment with absolutely no truth to it.

Please know that the creators who usually write articles that help or support someone in society are actually residents of this back alley with a hidden side that says, “Actually, I like things that are useless.” This is a place where only “strange” people gather, using a single phrase as a password to freely enjoy the joys and sorrows of daily life without hiding them, expressing themselves without any constraints. No one knows what “story” any of these articles are about. Stories do not need endings. 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 makes them interesting without denying them, and to feel relieved, thinking, “If there are such strange people here, it’s okay for me to write anything.”

Leemo’s Traveling T-shirt & Chimo-san Document

The traveling T-shirt project: A complete documentary version of the journey of the “What is this story?” autograph T-shirt, detailing what fate it followed to end up with me. It is scheduled to be exhibited at the “Nan-Hana Museum” eventually. I will continue to take it on, and I plan to have the residents of the back alleys I meet on my travels sign it. While this sounds like a moving story, basically everyone here is a fool. It’s the best. Thank you.

Radi’s Struggle Diary at the Nan-Hana Shop

The “What is this story?” merchandise shop has been born. This is a struggle diary by Radi, who was suddenly saddled with full responsibility. It’s fun, isn’t it? Now I have the pleasure of gradually making the back alley a full-scale trend from the world of note to the general public. Hehehe. We are the ones who will make it a trend. I plan to enjoy this as a finger-whistler, actor, and fashion coordinator. I look forward to your merchandise reports.

Your day will be beautifully and stylishly brightened. We are also waiting for fashion articles inspired by this, showing your excitement or the gal spirit you’ve been hiding that just has to overflow. This is a sample of being too silly and cute.

Hehehe. This is the back of that day's postcard. It was fun, wasn't it? If you received a postcard, you might make the sender happy if you share your thoughts with them, lol.

Such back-alley artist Pachiko's new summer merchandise is now on sale🌻 So cute🍉

Hiroiten-san's "Back Alley" specialty shop introduction

We are looking for information on recommended "back alley" shops in your town.
This is your chance to go beyond food essays.
Looks delicious. Hehehe.

Nyankoromochi R | The magic of ankoromoti-nya

I hope more people learn how to master this. The techniques shown by the back-alley magician. Whether it's necessary or not, no one knows, but this is magic.

Opening "What Are You Talking About Song"

Entry number 1
Since voice submissions are ending, Kagamoto-san finished the "What Are You Talking About Song" for us. Thank you. This kind of playfulness supports "What Are You Talking About".

Entry number 2, please also listen to persi's final "What Are You Talking About Song". Goodbye, voice submissions.

Entry number 3, back-alley diva TK-san. Joined the ukulele club. Resonating with a soothing singing voice, she is dedicated to the pursuit of expression.

Amemori-san's "Smartphone Wallpaper Calendar for August: Monday Has Been Blown Away"

Speaking of back alleys, "Blow Away Monday." True to this famous saying, this is a wallpaper calendar where Monday has disappeared. There are versions for both iPhone and Android, so please download and use them. You can forget about Monday forever. I love it.

People who have newly wandered into the back alley.

I'm sure you're thinking, "This isn't what I expected," but please take a little look around 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 you have made it this far, it is a miracle, but nevertheless, the real show starts here. Please enjoy a pure "what are you talking about" experience that begins with the first lucky person to open the gate and continues until the last person to guard the closed gate. For the writers, I have provided a table of contents, so please feel free to proceed to your section via the back-alley traditional art "Jump While Pretending to Read" . For the readers, please try to imagine my week, and try laughing and crying along with it. Now, please enjoy the 41st cat-thought edition.

This is Micchan (→ please call me with a -chan suffix 🌹), the first lucky winner.

Congratulations on being the first lucky winner to open the back gate for the 41st edition. Taking a break from note for a while—that is a beautiful way to finish. Please go and recharge your love life thoroughly. Hehe. Here is an introduction to a close follower. The second piece is a novel. It concludes with Taneo. It captures such a lovely way for a maiden's heart to flutter. Hanako feels the reality of being cherished by Taneo. I hope they continue to get along well. Thank you for your hard work on the conclusion.

This is Mami, the second lucky winner.

Even if you think you've snagged the first lucky spot, it's often hard to actually get it. Still, congratulations on a magnificent second lucky spot 🍄. Second piece: there is another person here who is good at drawing. Everyone is so multi-talented. Third piece: it is featured in the opening. Fourth piece: I wonder what kind of elementary school student they were. It seems like they have been a resident of the back alley since elementary school. Fifth piece: cool. To everyone spending these hot days, please cool off. Sixth piece: a tote bag that made it into the shot. Hehe.

This is Shigure, the third lucky winner.

You can fully enjoy Shigure's world. A slightly mysterious world. It seems possible, yet impossible. But this world must surely exist. Congratulations on the third lucky spot. Second piece: jotting down a scene from daily life. It might become the spark for some creative work. I like it. Third piece: a favorite anime. It seems that not understanding it is part of the appeal. As expected of your eye for detail. Fourth piece: a fleeting message included in a snapshot of family life. It is wonderful. And, by the time this newsletter comes out, it will be 100 consecutive days of posting. Congratulations.

This is Aoki.

Aoki is in the prime of the happiness of being able to say they hate studying. They are getting ChatGPT to teach them how to get motivated to study. It is interesting to read about someone taking detours and being unable to focus on their studies. Good luck. Somewhere down the line, you will surely be blessed by your studies as well. Welcome to the back alley.

This is aonokutu.

A series of stains. How much do people seep out? A stain that is black, white, or some unknown color. A stain on the heart that only you can confirm. Even if someone opens the door for you and finds it, perhaps it might still disappear. A clean heart with nothing in it might be the loneliest thing of all. It is wonderful. Welcome to the back alley.

This is Ao Hiroki @VAcraft.

Ao Hiroki of the world is playing with "What Are You Talking About" merchandise. From here on, how will Ao Hiroki of the world collaborate with "What Are You Talking About"? Something might be born, or perhaps nothing will be born. That is the back alley.

This is Arkun.

It is not scary even if you flop. Once again, heroes gather at Arkun's place. From 9:00 PM on August 1st, we will approach your abs. Welcome back for the third time to this legendary project. I will also leave the Stand.fm channel here.

This is Akoris*.

I've been waiting. If you read this, you will also want to say "I've been waiting." And you will want to know the announcement. Days of talking about "waiting" as a woman. Akoris* talks about such days while drunk. That's right. Even though they are a lightweight. This is "waiting" catharsis. It is the best.

This is Amanofu Miyu 📕 Kotonoha Miyu Feuille.

Attract people's attention with something you think is impossible, and hook their hearts with something that makes them think it couldn't possibly be true. A strategist is a swindler. When you become obsessed with what is right in front of you, the big problems become irrelevant. Especially if it is a matter of love. It is heartbreaking. Amanofu Miyu-san. You are changing rapidly, and I feel like you are grasping how to enjoy expression yourself. It is interesting.

This is Amemori's "'Ahhhh.'"

Even the title is incomprehensible, yet it is exactly as the title says. Amemori-style has exploded once again after a long time. You can read it from anywhere and understand nothing, yet for some reason, it's interesting. That is the Amemori-style. It's bouncing. This is truly the Amemori-style.

This is Rii Ayano.

Rii, your worldview is wild. The friends who can properly retort to that are wonderful. I want them as friends too. Rii Ayano is just a little bit serious in a strange direction. It's just that the place where she can demonstrate her power is a place that is of no use in the real world. In the back alley, she is already in an ace position. Please tell your friends that. However, since I believe in the theory that like attracts like, I suspect your friends are also just a little bit serious in a strange direction.

This is ayamo.

The charismatic model of the back alley is showing her true colors. On her stylish holiday, she leaves behind the usual hustle and bustle and transforms into a city woman. I felt that depending on the environment, women can quickly blend into the scene. Even the writing style has changed to something stylish, making it a wonderful record of daily life. The part at the end where she gets jealous from the hustle and bustle is very wonderful. Second piece, ayamo becomes the organizer. The adult "hehehe" with someone's past partners. When time passes and you meet again after a long time. Is it the beginning of something, or the end of something? An enviable party. Thank you for your hard work as the organizer. Wonderful.

This is Aruron.

A contemporary of mine from last year's Creative Award Best Reviewer prize. As expected again this year. Personally, I remember muttering "What on earth are you writing?" at Aruron's e-book contribution. It was the best. And thank you for your hard work on this year's Creative Award as well.

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

I was taken care of by you during the radio recording. It was very reassuring to have you with me and to have your support. I want to continue moving forward happily. I look forward to working with you more. Second piece, Tani-san, the afterglow of the party has not yet faded. That's fine. Let's get drunk on it to our heart's content. That time was necessary for life. Thank you. Third piece, the Tohoku tour. I featured it in the opening, but it's a tour where you don't know "what it's about." I'm happy to have played with you in the back alley. I'll post the homepage of the venue. It really says "What is this about?" I'm happy.

This is Awai Yuki.

Doberman. You made your debut as a food essayist. It's a food essay so good that I forget you're a finger-whistling friend. The Doberman inside your stomach. How will you work together in the future? It's a buddy story. Still, the illustrations are wonderful. I can't write things like this, so I'd like to watch you while you're writing.

This is Yui-Daku-Daku (Mofu Writer).

This is Yui-Daku-Daku (Mofu Writer), who definitely ended up in the back alley on their first Note. It's wonderful to be able to write "What is this about?" in your self-introduction. Will you stay in the back alley, or will you soon realize it was a mistake? What will happen? Please keep writing and entertaining us. Welcome to the back alley.

This is Ichijohan no Shosai (daisk3).

A hero challenging Oogiri (comedy prompt). I feel like you've gradually gained the dignity of an Oogiri master. Second piece, before falling into a zombie-like mental state, read this article and regain your laughter. I think the happiness of being able to laugh and the happiness of being able to enjoy things are the most important things. It's very difficult to write about important things in an interesting way, but it's wonderful that you write it casually to convey it to others.

This is Uiro.

When you realize that you've aged and look back on how time has moved, it might be when you don't know the trends, when you don't recognize celebrities, or when you stop installing apps. Is it better not to be swept away, or is it better to be swept away? Actually, young people might also be struggling with trends.

This is Utsubochan.

I think there are as many correct answers as there are people regarding how to face things, but Utsubochan's way of facing them makes the reader feel happy. I'm sure there are things you can't write about, but please keep entertaining us. Welcome to the back alley.

This is Tamami Eto.

The first song for Marine Day. It's summer. Please heal me. The second song, the nostalgic Nakamuraya. Nakamuraya. Nakamuraya. I want to laugh with people who know it. The third song, I think the wonderful thing about the world of expression is that it continues to resonate even after death. The fourth song, I also want to be carried princess-style. Will I end my life without ever being carried that way? The fifth song, Hulk Hogan. A famous pro-wrestler even I know. It's fast.

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

What is this? Why do such idiotic stories come to mind? As expected. There is a spell cast on me that makes me want to eat ramen. If you read this, finish the whole bowl with all your might, and feel like screaming, you are on the path to becoming a pervert. Off you go to the membership. The second piece, it's clairvoyance training. When will you be able to see it? The third piece, Maiton Membership. It seems to be going well. I think the secret to your popularity is that you are kind and attentive above all else. The likability that hides the pervert underneath is amazing. The fourth piece, those who were deceived by Maiton's toddler play are spoiling you in the comments section. This is the pinnacle of the pervert's path. It's a perfect example of how if you run with all your might, you can be spoiled to this extent with all your might. Wonderful.

This is Okey | Yutori's Sixtieth Birthday Life by J-FLEC Certified Advisor.

Temples. I hadn't thought about it very deeply, but the connection with Buddhism, the close ties with the community. The way of being as a religion. You teach us the transition in detail. When you learn how to look at it and think about it, various feelings emerge. Welcome to the back alley. The second piece, a movie review. National Treasure. The original work is also very interesting, so I recommend reading it and experiencing it first. And I'm really happy about your back alley debut from the radio. I'm happy to be able to create together like this from the outside world. Thank you for purchasing the e-book as well.

This is Kaura.

A senior document. It's a fun piece to read because you weave the fluctuations of emotion in an enjoyable way. It's truly wonderful that you are happily documenting things you can only do now. I learned that friendship and Starbucks are indispensable. Welcome to the back alley.

This is Yuki Kagamoto | Digital Contractor for TV Stations.

There are times when I don't feel motivated. If you know how to think and where to place your thoughts at those times, the world you see will change. Just knowing this way of thinking might make every day a little more fun. The second piece, you teach us that there are proper reasons even when we start to dislike people. When you understand the structure, you can see yourself calmly. The third piece, if you want to properly convey what you are thinking in a conversation, you should get into the habit of concretely verbalizing and speaking, and convey it carefully. I think being self-centered is dangerous after all. I will be careful. The fourth piece, why efforts are not rewarded. You teach us that structure. You had to consciously make 'variables that move results.' I want to live while being skillfully conscious of that. The fifth piece, the true nature of having a strong sense of responsibility might be a crisis. Let's think more broadly and work. If we do that, it might become a little easier. I learn from you every time.

This is Kamonohashi No. 1.

An excited date. BBQ. All the conditions are set. Kamonohashi No. 1, who is undercover, will provide a play-by-play commentary like no other. Are you excited about the BBQ, or are you excited about the girls? An emergency report on a man's big event. Interesting.

This is Karapoco.

Increasing crabs. I'm jealous. The second piece, you can save money and make good use of it, it's a wonderful lifestyle.

This is Kanna | Captain of the Okashi Exploration Team.

Kanna-san talks about the lingering memories of the Shinobunja and the party while the voice button is still there. I have no idea what you are doing, but you embody happiness and peace. As expected, indeed.

This is Rin Kiki | Book Share Coordinator.

Pants accident-free. It's a happy safety declaration. Rin Kiki, who opened such a happy report in a Space. This record will surely become an important record that you can share with your daughter someday. Congratulations. Accident-free pants. Wonderful.

This is Kirin (Formal).

The cutting-edge water-cooler talk of the Reiwa era. The topics brought up casually in this tone of voice. By the end of the day, I end up worrying about the background of the story and looking it up. Is what is written in the delusion/daily report the truth? A tone of voice that forces you to look it up yourself. It's already cheating. The second piece, is it fashion, or is it a Kabuki-mono, or is it a Kabuki-mono, or is it a special fraud group? Is it a special fraud group, or is it an anti-social force? Before I know it, I'm learning about the origins of Japan. The darkness is deep. It's interesting. The third piece, I don't know if what is handed down is the truth or not, but people are weaving history at the water cooler again today. It's incredibly interesting. The way you interpret historical facts is irresistible. As expected. The fourth piece, even Ishida Mitsunari becomes the protagonist of the water-cooler talk when he is in the hands of Kirin (Formal). With the method of hitting the truth about why people are hated, it solves it with a refreshing aftertaste that of course you would lose. The fifth piece, perhaps expression is satisfied by seducing and elevating each other. The negotiation between words and words might be the result of controlling sexual desire. As expected. It's interesting even though I don't know what you are doing.

This is Kuitaro-san.

It's an Ogiri (comedy prompt) project. Have their skills improved? It's sharp. They are steadily advancing toward becoming the Ogiri King.

This is Kuroirusuke-san.

Kuroirusuke-san, who isn't participating in the party but is more enthusiastic than anyone else. I appreciate that sentiment. I, too, am the type who actually joins on the second time around. I'm the type who watches for a bit before making a move. I'm the type who enjoys things little by little like that. The second piece. I feel like this is one you should see. Wonderful 🌈 It makes your heart feel lighter. I feel like anyone who notices this article is lucky. The third piece, a new breeze is blowing through early afternoon literature. An expression that truly embodies the early afternoon. As expected. The early afternoon is when your brain doesn't work. Wonderful.

This is Kuromu @ Haigo-san.

Nursing care and inheritance. I think these are things that will come eventually, but when you write them out like this, I feel like there is so much to do. What kind of preparations should I make? I want to try not to corner myself. Thank you for your hard work.

This is Kerakabuki-san.

I am humbled to receive such wonderful feedback. What on earth did I make you read? I am truly filled with feelings of apology. However, perhaps this encounter was inevitable. I was very happy. Welcome to the back alley. The second piece, what is happening behind the scenes? What exactly are you choosing to convey? It is precisely because the front and back are two sides of the same coin that the stage is fun, they teach us. I love back-alley literature.

This is Genchon.

Genchon, a man who pushes forward in his work. Wearing his summer medals, he straddles his motorcycle dashingly again today. Still, it's wonderful that the way they peel is different between parent and child. A lewd father and a pure son. The world is well-made. As expected.

This is Goe-san.

A true story of a note scam. It's been published, so please read it, and if anyone is in a similar situation, I hope you take action. I'm glad I could read it. This is no time to be saying "What is this about?" The second piece, writer art. I want this kind of thing to spread more. Wonderful.

This is goku-san.

It's time to feel goku. A magician who can transform things that overflow into expression. This time, too, they are resonating a wonderful tone.

This is kojuro-san.

Kojuro, chief of the home security department. Today, too, they are guarding to ensure peace within the home. I am moved by the system where kojuro's work maintains the security of the home. The second piece, a three-topic story and kojuro. Since his wife, who gives him massages, is away on a business trip, he polishes his own skills to no end. The third piece, the kojuro family who have forgotten the original use of things. Today, too, they engage in peace activities for the sake of the family. The fourth piece, before you know it, you have a place to belong. I think that is the most wonderful thing. You must be looking forward to your wife's return. It was a precious season without massages.

This is Gohan Taita yo-san.

Pure literature. Expressing beauty through one's own writing style amidst suffering and conflict. They teach us that love is fleeting and two sides of the same coin. That someone who expresses things like this would appear. The only thing is that the direction was grandly mistaken, and they ended up in the back alley, but it's the best.

This is Kohiumi Ito | I want to write for life-san.

Nui-katsu (plushie activities). That means finding a place for your heart to rest. Always being healed, always being made to chuckle. The night before walking on with the wonderful Eve-chan. It's a wonderful article. It makes me want to do plushie activities too.

This is Ayaka-san.

Tonight, as this newsletter is published, my dilemma was finally featured on the Stand.fm channel below. It was a long journey. I never thought I would be this happy. Please send in your solutions. Even if you don't have any, the two of them will figure something out, so it's fine. I'm looking forward to it.

This is Saisei Hoshu-san.

Interesting. Creating a story just to write it, just to make characters say things, and then expressing it. Is the problem the goblin or the author? A novel where the battle between the story and the author intertwines. In a word, I don't know if it's "what kind of story" this is, but this is undoubtedly the best and most problematic work.

This is Sakou-san.

Thank you for your hard work on the Creative Awards. You made it just in time. In the second piece, you give a detailed play-by-play of floaters in your vision. It attacks from a visual perspective so concretely that I feel it's a waste of talent, but I learned about the symptoms more specifically. As expected of you. The third piece is a report on experiencing a service that tackles urban issues. I hope services that are kind to both people and the city will spread.

This is Sakuraba Miyu💕 Delivering Kyun to You⭐️-san.

Somen noodles and summer memories. Food and memories seem to appear with every season, but summer memories always have a somewhat fun image. Please continue to cherish that page you suddenly remember.

This is Rinka Sanjo | Author-san.

Is this the last entry for this year's Creative Awards? I felt the tenacity to make it just in time. I feel like I've been captivated by Rinka-san throughout this period. Thank you so much for your hard work. The story is told as if being drawn into the sea. It's horror, and perhaps precisely because it's horror, maybe one shouldn't cross the boundary between the sea and people. You are good at depicting what can be described as supernatural phenomena. Since the background of every world is not blurred, I can accept the supernatural phenomena straightforwardly. I am commenting in a rush while reading it all at once, but I want to re-read it carefully. While you slid in at the last minute, I was also following along with a last-minute recovery, so I want to savor it once things settle down. Thank you so much for your hard work. You did your best. I want to tell you that directly, without it turning into an apology press conference. Regarding the second piece, you mentioned entering 50 works into the Creative Awards. I don't think you had any intention of stopping, and I was inspired by the sight of you running at full speed. Being able to do something until you make people think it's amazing is, I believe, a form of resolve. I was glad to see that side of you. It's wonderful.

This is Shii-pe-san.

It's an Ogiri (comedy prompt) project. Let's get through summer vacation. It's wonderful that you can still write despite that.

This is Geronimo-san.

Corgis, which everyone thinks about at least once in their heads. Geronimo-san faces that head-on. I can't tell if the corgi is cute or if Geronimo-san is cute. Welcome to the back alley. The second piece is an article where music gently flows into the mind of a walk that never reaches a conclusion; it's pleasant. I like it. The third piece, I've lived only watching other people's kisses I didn't think there would be a fellow traveler here. I'm happy. Let's continue to savor this together from now on.

This is Ako Shizumori-san.

I respect the courage to write honestly, and above all, I am moved to tears by the resolve to return to the back alley once more. Please let me continue reading your work. Oh, and your novels too. I can't find the right words, but the feeling that I'm happy is the strongest. That's all. Welcome to the back alley. Regarding the second piece, I think it's a good thing if you were able to feel a fresh perspective. Let's move forward while falling in love every day. It's an important thing. Hehe.

This is Haru Shibuki-san.

The way you push yourself beyond what others can do in your Creative Awards reviews is wonderful. Reading, internalizing, and continuing to write on your own. This will definitely become your strength. I want you to have confidence in what you have pioneered. Thank you very much for the two reviews. Please keep running at full speed until the end. The third piece is your review of Maiton's back alley. It was fun after all, wasn't it? I think that's what matters most.

This is Yu Shimogutsu-san.

Going to a festival with the family to experience it. A dream that everyone envisions, the realization of a family, was here. Spinning towels. The nonsensical conclusion that a back alley could be seen at the end of the spin is not wrong. That towel-spinning talent will surely shine right next to my finger whistling. It's wonderful. Welcome to the back alley.

This is the first-generation King Tenkun.

Nonsensical reading that you enjoy by looking at it. It's interesting. As you read on, you start to feel that there are proper rules. No, perhaps you just want to create rules. Even though there are characters that cannot be read, you want to decipher them. You want to utter them as sounds. I was delighted to find that such a way of enjoying things exists. Welcome to the back alley. The second piece, the proponent of Nun-ology, has finally unveiled Nun-ology. This is a historical masterpiece that reveals for the first time why we have lived with such attachment to "Nun." The first-generation King Tenkun is pursuing the future of "Nun." It's the best. The third piece, what were people looking for in Sux? You can't hide your excitement for Sux as the first-generation King Tenkun, who has fallen in love with Sux, writes love letters to Sux and reaches a conclusion. It's interesting. I have no idea "what this story is." It has appeared.

This is Shiratori Nekoko_Life Theater Half-Life Record.

This is Nekoko's life. It is wonderful that you have come to the back alley again and are writing so brightly. I don't know which words are the right ones to say, so for now, I will savor the happiness of being able to read and just say that I don't know "what this story is." Anyway, it was great. The second piece, Nekoko got a "Back Alley" tote bag. Ooh. I want one. The finish is quite good. I'll leave the goods here. Everyone, please check it out.

This is Takashi [Su-shi.] | note user who draws and makes things.

The news about the hot weather in Hokkaido is quite big. Please don't let your guard down and be careful. It's no longer the time to be excited about summer. The second piece, this year's PR ambassador in Hokkaido. Please take care of it.

This is Sketchbook Dream Diary.

I was happy to read about that first step. Cheering from afar to close the distance. Taking a step forward to change yourself. It is very fun to be able to read a record of such a courageous step. One thing I can say is that even if you realize that entering "What is this story?" with courage was a mistake, hehehe. Welcome to the back alley. It's wonderful.

This is Suzuka22.

A report that an article was published in a magazine. It seems that by properly sending it out, connecting it, and then circulating it into new work. Please continue that wonderful spiral as it is. Congratulations.

This is studio_maki.

I started the day with a good morning. How many posts will there be this week? The second piece, a record of the daily battle. The hero is here. The third piece, a report that LINE stamps were created. Giving shape to your own expression and delivering it properly. It's wonderful. The fourth piece, it seems like a participation in a chibi character project, but it's amazing how quickly and how many appear. It's fun just watching what you are doing. The fifth piece, if you can see a wonderful image instead of being in time for the opening, I think it's acceptable. The sixth piece, an introduction. Connections call for connections. The seventh piece, a record of every night's trading. I respect people who can do things steadily. The eighth piece, number 8,000. Thank you for the photo 🎊 It was a flash until 8,000. The ninth piece, a detailed explanation of Nikkei 225 futures trading. You are teaching the method along with your daily trading records. As for investment, I choose FX and crypto assets. Hehehe. I wonder if that can be called investment. The tenth piece, congratulations on taking profits. I am savoring the moment when you can enjoy a good night. The eleventh piece, a report on a study session. Everything starts to feel like AI. The space between fiction and non-fiction is exquisite. The twelfth piece, a battle with "What is this story?" The thirteenth piece, this week's maxim "Do not trade on emotion." The battle continues. Thank you for the thirteen pieces.

This is Shuji Seno.

In the back alley, there are several paths of perversion, but you are walking the path of a professional pervert, not a business one. This way of speaking comes from your own experience. It is lighthearted and honest. Perhaps the essence of the path of perversion is that the front and back are one. "Experience" is a sweet trap. Welcome to the back alley.

This is Yuni Sorahara.

Forbidden things. There is a proper meaning there. Humans are drawn to them. Perhaps, it might be the real thing. Hehehe. I like it.

This is Takacchi | Experimenter of Psychology x Practice.

Cute. Takacchi is cute. If you don't call this Takacchi cute, when will you? A casual scene with your daughter. Takacchi who worries. I feel that the fact that this scene was recorded will make the family smile even more someday. It's wonderful.

This is Shiimo Takatsuka.

Amazing. All of them are interesting. When you think about it, it is truly amazing that you are depicting the forms of love with these expressions and in this span. They all have something in common: they are overflowing. The underlying foundation is unwavering. Doesn't this mean you can keep writing forever? Wonderful.

This is Teruhiko Taguchi.

Teruhiko Taguchi, who has welcomed summer fatigue. He has never experienced summer fatigue as a physical sensation before, so this is his debut report on it. Saying that it wasn't as hot as it is now is the number one phrase we've said every year for the past few years, but perhaps there is a world that can only be seen after experiencing summer fatigue. Please, everyone, take care. It is truly at a dangerous level, so let's be careful.

This is Tsukasa Tadano.

How many memories are packed into CDs and music varies from person to person, but when you reach the age where you can talk about those things slowly, it suddenly becomes a story. I think they were playing along with us. Second piece, Tsukasa Tadano. Caught under the spell of the summer heat. My mind is spinning at full speed due to the sudden situation. Confrontation rather than coping. As expected. Explaining a situation where you don't know what to do. It's interesting. Third piece, the distortions of current society. I end up thinking about it when something happens. The reality is that we can't move ahead of others.

This is Billy Tanaka.

Being at the mercy of subscriptions. I am one of those people too. Since it can toy with a woman like Billy Tanaka, I was convinced that it is quite something. Still, it's a trap lurking within convenience. The cancellation process.

This is Tamii.

A married couple. The wife watches her husband closely. She takes in even casual conversations properly. I envy being able to chronicle this kind of daily life. Will the 'Happy Couple Expo' edition actually be turned into an article? I'm looking forward to it. Second piece, I like it. An essay that attacks in a way that matches this movie review. I think it is a very happy thing to be able to properly welcome changing values and compare them with your own past. Living is indeed interesting.

This is Dareka Non🦔 (Reads in a second).

I understand that well. I often miss things. Perhaps it's not that we are slightly off in timing, but that our time axis is fundamentally different from other people's.

This is Danke Hitsuji.

Blue. What appeared in the blue of summer was a blue 🍄. Cute. I am truly happy that 'What is this story about?' is involved in this worldview. What will happen to the blue 🍄? Hehe. Second piece, the angel who departed is in the same back alley. A wonderful connection. Third piece, as expected, it's cute. The white snake of the blue 🍄. On sale soon. The blue is also truly good. Cute.

This is Chii-chan.

Food. How did we know we could eat that? The inexhaustible treasure trove of human knowledge. That is a meal. And cooking. Perhaps it is the result of thinking about how to overcome things we are not good at.

This is chimo.

Finally, I am happy that I was able to enter. I would like to stay here as is. The second piece is in the opening 'Traveling T-shirt' column.

This is Chako Chayama.

She is delighted to have received feedback on her Creative Grand Prize entry from the Goddess of the Back Alley, Haru Shibukisama. Joy creates a chain reaction, so reading articles like this makes me happy. Please continue to write and entertain us. Welcome to the back alley.

This is Yami Tsukinomiya.

It is a short-short story. I think the reason short-short stories can make you feel like they might be real is because you can experience social issues through them. It is interesting. Whose world is this, I wonder?

This is T K.

T K is also expanding their connections on Stand.fm. They take topics home and try to enjoy them even more by turning them into articles. I think the reason the circle expands like this is because they can express that fun things are fun. Wonderful. I featured this as the opening for the second piece. I always think they must love singing.

This is C. Diem.

Humans are creatures that yearn for the plus. On this day, Diem's yearning returned in a beautifully formed shape. Perhaps even if you discover a plus overseas, you should not easily give in to that temptation. I love it. Second piece, Mr. Diem. I intend to practice this and be reborn. After all, having composure, constantly observing, and spreading natural kindness. That is it. I will do my best.

This is Tokyo Local Iwao.

Heron, egret, fraud. Tokyo Local Iwao teaches us that they were all stories on the same continuum. Who on earth made it an era where even fraud drifts with melancholy? Perhaps the day will come when cleverness flips, and it becomes moving entertainment that people pay to see. It is interesting. Second piece, they solve the worry of not receiving feedback on the Creative Awards by writing a letter to themselves. Please let me write next year. I love both reading and writing. Thank you for your hard work. Third piece, contact from a publisher. A masterpiece essay shown by Tokyo Local Iwao. They teach us that everything in life can be turned into an essay. As expected.

This is Poison-Spitting Cat | Words that work for the difficulty of living, please take them with poison. Follow-back 100.

How to perceive stagnation and live. If you wish for things to remain unchanged, that is fine, but if you wish for change and want to move even a little, they teach us that it is about piling up failures. If you can fail and enjoy it somewhere while struggling through it, I think things will be drawn to you. A wonderful article. Welcome to the back alley.

This is Toko | note.

You can read about the amazing parts of Toko. They are very calm toward themselves, yet cannot hide their passion. It is a joy to be able to read these kinds of feelings. I hope we can continue to enjoy this together from here on out. Thank you. Second piece, Creative Unrequited Love Karaage Edition. Anytime, anywhere, we continue to dream. A wonderful unrequited love. Third piece, I think they are always looking forward. I am truly grateful to be able to read this. It is definitely connected to something for someone. Fourth piece, Toko decided to let go of things to match their family's lifestyle. It is heartbreaking to let go of important things, but I think it is a wonderful choice to be able to value the necessary decisions. Fifth piece, the mission is recommended. Even when you are lost in how to express yourself. I hope you move in a good direction.

This is Tom.Msn.

Stories about the moon, history, old tales, fables—if I start thinking about it, there is no end, but perhaps expressions were born just as much as the moon has attracted people. Expressing the moon. It sounds fun. Second piece, if you face it seriously, the answer changes seriously. How to use it, how to convey it, the atmosphere. You need to read it seriously. Very interesting. Serious unseriousness. Hehe. It is the best. Third piece, food essay "Striking the Core of Cooking." They teach us that cooking is something born from free ideas. It is up to you what you make. Fourth piece, to everyone worried about how to teach children about the dangers of SNS. They are firmly reminding us of the basics that we have started to forget.

This is toyofumi_t.

I did not think they would weave a story so calmly and reach this kind of ending. The thread of fate exists, and the hair of fate also exists. Perhaps people grow by pulling and being pulled. It is the best.

This is Nausicaä of the Second & Wind Song of Now.

Dankehitsuji's work has also set off on a journey here. Cute. It is truly wonderful that gentle expressions are connecting. Second piece, if you accept words honestly, they will change just as the words say. Let us accept them straight. If you do that, it will become fun.

This is Nami.

Affection overflows, and the mother and father are recorded. I think it will eventually be conveyed and connected, but I can tell they must have written it while remembering various things. I can tell they wrote it while searching for words. Wonderful. Second piece, faint. Hot. Sneaky. This is what a festival is originally like. It is nice. I cannot go back anymore. I think deeply. Sigh.

This is Nicole (Chelsea).

I don't think you were aiming for the Creative Awards, but rather just writing down stories that came to you naturally, and I think this was a good catalyst. You must have realized by now that your work has power. I hope you keep writing forever. Please continue to entertain me. Regarding the second piece, I am truly envious of your ability to string words together like this. It feels effortless, as if you're writing casually, yet it definitely conveys something. I can feel the power your writing holds. It's fun to read. It's wonderful. It sinks in. Regarding the third piece, I hope the back alley remains as it is—trivial, even as it changes. Even if everyone goes on to succeed in their own respective places, I want it to be a place where we can occasionally return and say, 'I'm just here to tell some random, trivial lies.' Regarding the fourth piece, it's compelling. To be able to write, draw, and express a story like this—I'm incredibly envious. I feel like you're depicting exactly what I want most.

This is 🌈Nijino🌈BOOREY-san.

Is there a limit to French, or is there a limit to a left jab? And what on earth is this 'what is this about' anyway? Truly impressive.

This is Cat-Thinking (_,'" ▽ "）-san.

Congratulations on your 41st Cat-Thoughtful edition. So close. You were fourth. Thank you as always. Regarding the second piece, is this a preview for the Nagaoka Fireworks Festival? Or a photo from last time? I've always wanted to go, but knowing how incredibly crowded it is and feeling that it might be tough without local knowledge, I'm envious—and I'm sure I'm not the only one in the country who feels that way. The third piece is the best. The ultimate male sentiment and a page of youth. Heh heh. This is it. Fun. The fourth piece: you rushed into the Creative Awards at the very last minute, Cat-Thinking-san. I quite liked it, though. The fact that you properly checked how many entries were submitted in the final two minutes is what makes it so incredibly funny. Truly impressive. The fifth piece: the issue of what to do with your account. I want you to continue as is. Please just make sure not to overdo it. The sixth piece: you are continuing while enjoying various forms of expression. I think that is one of the correct ways to keep going. The seventh piece: whether you fulfilled the responsibility of the subtitle or not, it's cool that you posted the final article exactly two minutes before closing. Starting with Cat-Thinking-san and ending with Cat-Thinking-san. It was a quite wonderful 41st edition. Thank you for your hard work.

This is Nono Nonono-san.

Nono's diary. Cute. If it were written on the cover of a notebook, I would definitely flip it open. It's fun to read about the daily life I can peek into. I hope you enjoy your summer vacation and explore a leisurely pace. Cooking for your husband's birthday starting from the day before. You're a cute wife. Wonderful. Regarding the second piece, if Nomo comes up in a tongue twister, that's the correct answer.

This is Noho-san.

Turtle. Noho-san has started talking about turtles. This is a very good trend. It makes me want to know about turtles. This is a genuine turtle essay. A turtle essay written for the sake of turtles. Please continue to spend your time close to turtles. I'm happy that you've made wonderful friends.

This is Norikana-san.

These two. A wonderful relationship between two people. A relationship where you enjoy life together. I like it very much. Regarding the second piece, secret weapon Norikana. Finally starting to spread wings in the world of tea. The period you spent sincerely dedicated to tea. It was never a waste; it shows that time was moving forward. It's wonderful. Regarding the third piece, Norikana-san's writing also definitely reaches someone. Please continue to express yourself a lot. It's wonderful. Regarding the fourth piece, enjoying summer too much is dangerous. Let's turn on the air conditioner and stay cool. The fifth piece: the disciples are two as one. The relationship of trust is clearly established, and it's very fun. The sixth piece: participating in the project. It has become necessary to be prepared to spend the hot season.

This is persi-san.

Persi, who was likely visiting. I feel a shudder at the sheer accuracy of the description. A terrifying power of delusion. I have no idea what you are doing. Truly impressive. Regarding the second piece, I don't understand it, but these people are probably the best. I think it's good. Regarding the third piece, reading this, I felt that there might be someone out there who, like Sato-san, is also messing up their hashtags. Since you can't retrieve them once you make a mistake, if there is such a person, I want to induct them into the 'Nan-Hana Museum' hall of fame. Regarding the fourth and fifth piece quiz. Konishi Kinoko. With this, you too can become a Konishi Kinoko. It's good that you've kept it up for four and a half years. You can live with confidence as an actor. It's too silly.

This is Hagiwara Sei-san.

Feeling the blue, trying to move forward while quietly believing. Thinking about whether it is necessary or unnecessary for oneself. I get the impression that you are trying to grasp something while also believing in the act of being lost. I like poetry because it expands the world.

This is Hasoyam-san.

Minomushi-sensei's work. It is overflowing with love. It is through this kind of love that note connects people in a fun way. I like that kind of relationship.

This is Pandive-san.

Oogiri Queen Summer Campaign. I'm glad to hear it sounds fun. Participating in the project. Regarding the second piece, somen is indispensable for summer memories. Flowing somen. Flowing it everywhere. A wonderful flowing somen has been born. Flowing elegantly to the end. Surely you too will color the summer in slow motion. Thank you for your hard work every day. Regarding the third piece, it's not a vegetable. The eldest son who knows the magic word. The eldest son who trusts his mother with all his might. I'm glad you recorded such a precious time. Even so, I think you were lucky. Even reading it in text, I went 'wow.' Thank you for your hard work every day.

This is Hii-san @ Around-30 OL-san.

Marriage. Hii-san has stood up to head toward a major life event. She managed to get her boyfriend to say the words, “within this fiscal year.” I wonder how things will unfold from here. I want to keep following this. Heh heh.

This is Viola-san.

A magnificent essay. Traveling abroad to learn about one's past life and discover one's destiny. With the singing voice she has practiced kept close to her heart, she finally arrives at the land of the singing stage. Did her past life call to her, or did her singing voice lead Viola there? I can see the audience's standing ovation in this non-fiction essay. It is fascinating. It is hard to believe that she is actually putting this into practice. Thank you for the second piece, a delightful story. I don't know how to express this joy, but I felt that I was glad to have met this person. Thank you for the happiness.

An introduction by Rintaro Takechi dedicated to Viola-san.

Rintaro Takechi's review for the Creative Awards. Viola-san edition. Rintaro Takechi finishes the above article as a review immediately. I don't know how he can do things like this, but it is superb.

This is Hikarun2025✈-san.

Hikaru, who coaches at the judo club. It seems they are teaching carefully with the intention of accumulating successful experiences. I feel like they are moving forward together with a common goal, and it is fun to read. You can learn that there is a lot to learn by teaching. It is wonderful. For the second piece, I think the most wonderful thing is being able to immediately put into practice what your husband told you. Thank you as always.

This is pichi114-san.

When I spent the three-day weekend doing nothing, I shouted, “What are you talking about?” Welcome to the back alley where you can't rest properly. It is wonderful that your skin has become more radiant. If your skin is happy even though you haven't done anything, I am very happy.

This is Hitsuji | Making AI Easy to Understand-san.

If AI eliminates the time spent making meeting materials, a considerable amount of time can be used for work. It feels like an incredible efficiency boost. What is being sought might not be skills, but the power of expression. It is interesting.

This is Hyaku Hiroshi-san.

Hyaku's excitement was not an illusion. Sweet memories and bitter friendship. Even though it is just a scene from commuting to school, how can it be this literary? As expected.

This is Fuji-san.

I am happy about the birth of a 1-millimeter companion. Let's fully enjoy the summer that starts from 1 millimeter. Let's fully enjoy the summer where sweat doesn't stop falling.

This is Hiiragi Fujimoto-san.

A party has a prequel. After much negotiation, they were able to come to Tokyo. The daily life of a wonderful couple exists here. I think again that it was a miraculous day, as that day was made possible by everyone's cooperation.

This is Fuji-wara Hako (Pachiko☆)-san.

As I put in the opening, the summer Pachiko “What are you talking about” merchandise is now on sale. Cute🌻 For the second and third pieces, it is about my acting debut. Thank you. Please continue to support me as an actor. The fourth piece is decorated in the opening. Heh heh. Cute.

This is Blue hand-san.

I believe it is precisely because you have faced things head-on and built them up that it has led to your current relationship. And I think it is because you have built a relationship where even your juniors report their celebrations to you, and you have faced them seriously. As I thought, you are earnest and sincere. It is wonderful.

This is Fleuret-san.

A wonderful romance novel has been completed and properly entered into the Creative Awards. I love this story. I want to write my thoughts on it. Hehe. I have reached the second one, the epilogue. Thank you for the treat. It was fun. The third one, a novel that took a year. I think it was worth that much. The fourth one, I feel every time that you must love music. Wonderful. The fifth one, the reading is good. I think it is wonderful even for your own work. The sixth one, I received it at a party. It is a secret story about meeting the Ema. Thank you.

This is Henko-san.

Shirohebi-san. How are you? It is great to see such a happy photo. Please stay healthy and keep smiling. I look forward to your occasional updates. The second one, do loving couples start to look alike, or are they just like-minded people? Having similar values might be the secret to staying happy together.

This is Ponkotsu-san.

I want this to be used as an illustration for a back-alley novel. Rather than an anime adaptation, a picture book might also be good.

This is Ma-🤣-san.

From how to operate on X, you teach us those lessons. What is important in any place is that desire to learn. And Ma-🤣-san generously gives that back to everyone. As poop. Poop that you just cannot separate from. Poop that you will live with as a person for your whole life. Once again, you are exploding with insatiable curiosity. It is the best.

This is Makikura Minomushi-san.

Makikura Minomushi-san, who is drawing a back-alley novel. The eccentric ideas are so interesting that I end up reading them. Will it reach a conclusion? I am looking forward to it. The second one, the third one. And the middle note. It is over. It is an abrupt ending that should not be the end. It is interesting, and there are many people looking forward to it, so I really want to read the completed version someday. Thank you for your hard work.

This is Mameshima Kei-san.

These are my thoughts on the Creative Awards. I will not layer thoughts upon thoughts, but it is written so carefully that it makes me want to read it. After all, writing thoughts on novels is fun.

This is Mayo de Sengansan.

Destiny is destiny. As expected. You have immediately started showing off your new mayo-talk. Even though the tone is strangely bright, what you are writing is mayo-talk. I like how the kindness that appears here and there cannot be hidden. But, of course, I do not know what this is about. As expected.

This is Mikumayutan.

You are introducing works with amazing perspectives. I feel like the title actually reminds me of Mikumayutan. The ability to discover articles, the way of sending them out. Every perspective is intriguing. And above all, I think your time spent engaging with other people's articles and your antenna are amazing. It is interesting. The second one, you are teaching us that a genius is someone who unconsciously goes beyond people's common sense. While cooking, you layer your thoughts. Each one hides a secret ingredient and leaves an aftertaste. A food essay that cooked text has been born here. I will continue to support Mikumayutan, who has led us to the possibilities of new expression. You are easily leaping over the food essay genre. As expected.

This is Minarai_Lv41-san.

These are the traps lurking in daily life. The figure of you thinking and thoroughly making retorts even though you are busy. You look like a hero. If you do not think about how to convey things to the other person and act, a scary retort is waiting. That precise word sense shines. Everyone should want to be retorted to a little bit.

This is Mini-san.

It is a mystery novel. The two sides of justice and evil, combined with the speed of the plot and the rhythm of the writing style, pull you right in. Since you can think about whether it could actually happen, it is easy to get immersed. Interesting. Welcome to the back alley.

This is Mine no Momijiba-san.

Mine no-san talks about the ins and outs of their fandom activities. The way they talk is so passionate, and the non-stop schedule is surprising. This is what being a fan is all about. Even while reading, all I can say is 'wow.' You can feel the passion that probably couldn't be fully expressed even if they talked forever. As expected of Mine no Momijiba-san. It is so fulfilling and interesting.

This is Mikenyan-san.

3:00 AM is the time needed to write down one's true feelings. It is cute. And then, about daily life. About things in their head, things that are "what is this about?" they write it all down. Even if you write and send it just as it is, it will definitely connect with someone. Please continue to send it in the future. Welcome to the back alley.

This is Miyabi-san.

This is a notice regarding the suspension of music-related articles. There are many ambiguous parts, and I don't quite understand the correct answer. I don't know the timing, and it bothers me that it's not everyone. I am still looking forward to it, so I want to read expressions from various directions. I hope it heads in a good direction.

This is Mukumi-san.

A trip to Kyoto with their partner, Mossari. Mukumi-san struggled to make Mossari happy for their birthday. A slight sense of discomfort eventually turns into a major one. The important birthday eventually leads to a feeling of unease, which also spreads to Mossari. Everyone has a day like that. I'm sure by next year, they will be talking about this day in a funny way. A day like this is also a accumulation of records of a wonderful day.

This is Mosquito Eri-san.

Thank you for your hard work on the Creative Awards. The first thing I want to say is 'you did your best,' so I think you enjoyed it. I think you created and stirred up a lot of waves. It was conveyed that creating seemed fun, and that was what made me happiest. I want you to continue like this. For the second one, I hope you get hooked on Junichiro Tanizaki. There is nothing more fun than being able to talk about it in depth, so I would like to gradually promote Junichiro Tanizaki. Hehe. A wonderful review. It made me want to read it. For the third one, is it not just the creation, but also the review that is amazing? The level of expression in writing is so high that I can't keep up, but even reading the review, I can see the sharpness of that sensibility. I see, because you feel this way, that kind of story is born. It feels like we could talk until morning. And, I truly think that getting closer to modern literature is a very good thing for Mos-Eri-san. I absolutely think so. Please read as much as you can now.

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

Yasuda-san, who finally started getting hooked on One Piece. Talking about Kuma, knowing Bonney. It's a good flow. Soon we can become a crew. For the second one, Yasuda-san is the 8,000th magazine registration. As expected. Even if refused, he has it. For the third one, anime is something that ruins your life while making it glamorous.

This is Akira Yamane | Philosopher.

It is healing. Invited to a swamp of healing. Getting hooked on the swimsuit swamp. Summer has arrived. Thank you. For the second one, asking about handsome men. The answer is Akira Nakao. Asking the mirror what that means. I feel there is no mistake that it is indeed Akira Nakao. As expected.

This is Yamamoto Janai-san.

Yamamoto Janai is beginning to stand out as the problem child of the back alley. Tonight, it's a one-stage show to celebrate the 8,000th magazine. An article that Janai says would never have been born if they hadn't seen a 'national treasure.' It is a case that can only be described as crazy. As expected. For the second one, thinking about 8888 from the legendary T-shirtネタ, Yamamoto & Janai. Were there two of them? That means Yamamoto actually exists? It is an article where mystery calls to mystery, and even if you read it, you don't know 'what it is about,' but I can guarantee that it will be fun. For the third one, Yamamoto Janai. Talks about their belief in their 7th month on note. It is wonderful. I think it is cool. Please keep playing around. Playing freely is actually the most difficult thing on SNS.

This is U-san.

Have they become a comedy quiz account? I only read 'What is this about?', so I don't know, but it's always a comedy quiz. It's the 10th time. It's a wonderful account. Everyone, please aim for it. Comedy Quiz King. For the second one, while writing such things, the nightmare happens again. Just when I thought I had completely recovered, this series comes along as if it were calculated. Just how much can be taken away? It is a series that proves that the world is not just about right things. For those who want to be popular, I'll leave the magazine here for reference.

This is Yu-san.

A plan to maximize our growth potential has been launched. We at the “What Is This Department” would also like a base of operations, so please make it happen. There is so much waiting to unfold. Let’s move forward. For the second piece, Yu-san is nervous about an interview. I think that is much better than getting too used to interviews. Just express the words you have and keep communicating. You will be fine.

This is Yuichi-san.

Aiming to improve the WiFi environment, I am trying out some technical things. I have zero ability to decipher this article, but the way of thinking that pursues the root cause of human issues is extremely interesting.

This is Eucalyptus Radiata-san.

Movie theaters. An extraordinary space that moves people. Radi experienced an extraordinary battle of wills in such a wonderful space. Perhaps that battle of wills will eventually become a movie. You will understand what kind of movie it was if you read it. Heh heh.

This is Miwa Yutani-san.

Back-alley entertainer Miwa Yutani-san. Her debut was with a two-person puppet act (futari-baori). A two-person puppet act etched into a page of her youth. A two-person puppet act that brought down the house with laughter. I’m envious. It is because of such experiences that she can even play the finger whistle. I respect you. Let’s do a two-person puppet act followed by finger whistling sometime.

This is Yuki Kujira (Oops)-san.

When people reach their limits, they can forcibly unleash their skills. Yuki Kujira (Oops)-san’s skill is truly a feat achieved through total concentration. A level of focus that leaves behind sharpened hearing. You can learn about the mysteries of humanity. For the second piece, being afraid to stick your feet out from under the covers. It seems to reign as one of the terrors of the world. How will you confront this terror in the future? Yuki Kujira (Oops)-san faces it head-on.

This is Yukinko-san.

She explains the mindset for correcting reading errors. She presented research results showing that the person pointing out the error experiences more stress than one might expect. It is a very interesting result. Perhaps because people are unconsciously aware of this result, reading errors never disappear from the world. For the second piece, imagining the back alley within yourself sounds interesting. If you find your place, please report back. It sounds fun.

This is Yutori no Aru Otoko-san.

The relationship between remote islands and the weather. I ponder while wishing for sunny weather. Perhaps it is good that it is not just sunny, but when you go for sightseeing, you want to bathe in the sun for at least one day. I always look forward to your articles.

This is Yurayura Miruko-san.

I never expected you to be a fan, but as expected of Yurayura Miruko’s recommended videos. They are interesting even though I don’t understand why. When I learn about what people find interesting, it is usually interesting, but in the case of Yurayura Miruko, I feel like she chooses purely based on her own unique sense, so I can enjoy it while feeling a thrill. As expected. For the second piece, why do you capture the essence so concisely in such short sentences? Perhaps there is a scalene triangle in your writing, and you write to make it stand out. Interesting. For the third piece, Bonseki (tray landscape). I learned about a world I didn’t know. It is very good. Even if you can’t finish drawing it, you can start over; it can be easily collapsed. Things you build up in life can end in an instant. However, what you leave behind will surely remain with someone. A wonderful world.

This is Yokan-san.

We are both in outdoor jobs, but in my case, I still spend a lot of time in the car traveling. Thank you for your hard work. I hope you don’t overdo it. The air-conditioned clothing is calling. For the second piece, regarding the draft, you can see Yokan’s seriousness. This intensity. I don’t understand it at all, but it is wonderful. For the third piece, Yokan’s greatness. Horse racing, baseball, and music. Please feel the summer. For the fourth piece, sweet time with your wife and passionate time with your children. Thank you for your hard work every day, Dad. Wonderful.

This is RaM-san.

Starbucks. You carefully teach us that there are adventure logs for each Starbucks. Even though it is structured like a prologue that hints at a life with Starbucks from here on out, I am overwhelmed by the intensity. The passion people pour into what they love is immeasurable. It is overflowing with love and is interesting. For the second piece, it is my favorite novel series. I feel like the story is gradually being colored in more clearly. I don’t know how much kindness you have to show someone for the story to progress, but at least I think that kindness is not a one-way street, and if you feel it for each other, you can become even kinder. It is so much fun. This worldview and the delicious-looking food. And the people who visit. It makes me want to cherish my daily life. For the third piece, heh heh. Healing at the end of the collection. I’ll gather nail information and someday I want to have a conversation with a woman somewhere too. You are layering romance equal to the number of your fingers, aren’t you? Wonderful.

This is Real Tokusatsu Gagaga Mabon-san.

Mabon explains the concept of jealousy. Yet, he starts getting jealous over delusions about his favorite character. Perhaps it is not so much that Mabon has jealousy, but that he is the very core of jealousy itself. However, it is a well-crafted scenario. The second piece feels like it is heading toward a climax. Even though it is a grand story, it depicts humanity very well. Jetman. The third piece was not a climax, but for Mabon, this episode might actually be the climax. It is a barrage of fan activities. The fourth piece: perhaps it is a lonely life to stir up desire and drown in it. A Sentai series full of lessons.

This is Rika-san.

This is a spelling out of feelings after receiving feedback on the Creative Awards. I was moved by the feedback I received, and connections are creating more connections. It is a feat made possible by the action-oriented writing of Haru Shibuki . Wonderful.

This is Leemo-san.

There is a traveling T-shirt series in the opening, but they also write quite smart short-shorts. Leemo-san, who is popular in one way or another, starts to look a bit cunning.

This is Rocho-tei Shujin-san.

Following the worker ants, the literary master Rocho-tei Shujin cuts through the state of the world again today. The second piece is haiku. Free-form. Even though each is just a few words, a picture emerges. It must be a word from the heart. Wonderful.

This is the fourth from the back, silver_holly601-san.

The instrument and I are gradually expanding. I think it is a wonderful expansion. It is fun to read about how we are both facing the common ground of music.

This is the Third Guardian, Kaora @ Parents and Children Living Their Own Lives-san.

Starting with the first lucky gate opening, these are the last three guardians protecting the back gate of the alley. I have placed people who really stood out for what they were doing, or people who made me feel gentle. "Strange people" are chosen, but I am often so exhausted when I choose them that I don't even know why I chose them, so even when I look back later, I never know why I chose them each time.

There are many things that existed in my heart, but which I realized I had lost. Even so, the fact that I couldn't go was not a lie; it was something firmly etched in my heart. Because it is expressed and written down firmly there, I am sure it will connect. I think this is what a food essay is essentially supposed to be. The second piece: family relationships change, but you can tell from just one scene of daily life that there are things that certainly do not change. No matter how things change from here on out, I believe the bond remains. Wonderful. The third piece: I feel like I have crossed the wall of early old age too. The fourth piece: it turns out we are fellow teeth-grinders. Bone development. Our development. It is proof that we have lived by gritting our teeth. Let's cherish it. The fifth piece: even if it is a festival, various intentions intersect, and I dislike this atmosphere every year. The interim announcements and award ceremonies where the number of people leaving increases. It is quite harsh, isn't it? But there are people who are saved by the words of those who write honestly like this. Congratulations on being the Third Guardian.

This is the Second Guardian, lordhermal89-san.

Even though there are difficult things in daily life, the way you overcome them with a solid sense of self seems cool. The method is just interesting. This is a sequel to the magic sent by the goddess of the "Nanno Hanashi Desu Ka" Magazine 7777. The second piece: won a novelty item. The goods have arrived. Thank you for your continued support. Congratulations on being the Second Guardian.

This is the First Guardian, Yomogi-san.

It is an insect essay. Finally, a princess essayist has appeared in our insect world. To be able to talk about insects this much. A new species. While being loved by insects, she has exhausted every thought about them. The undisputed First Guardian. Thank you. I look forward to your future activity reports for the insects. The second piece: I have no idea what "Nanno Hanashi" is. The book. The mind. It is logical, yet chaotic. I cannot convey this excitement well. It is interesting. It is interesting after all. The impact of Yomogi. It is like Attack on Titan. The third piece: it is an essay. Daily life with a beloved dog. Remembering the time that must not be forgotten, love overflows. I don't know how much time you spent together, but I want you to continue recording that you met a beloved dog who gave you this much love. Wonderful. The fourth piece: 99 days. It is wonderful. In particular, there is no sign of compromise in these four pieces, and while changing the writing style, the structure is also well thought out. How much time do you spend on this? Thank you so much for always entertaining us. With this, I will close the back gate of the 41st Cat-Thought Edition of the "Nanno Hanashi Desu Ka" Newsletter. Thank you for your hard work.

Newsletter Postscript

Various essential items for the alley that color the articles of "Nanno Hanashi Desu Ka," decorative bands, stamps, and individual "Nanno Hanashi Desu Ka" magazine warehouses are here. To enjoy creation, please feel free to download them and use them to color your articles. Cute is justice, and it is the only correct answer.

I was able to put out the 41st issue. It is clear that many people are enjoying it, which makes me happy. I focused on visualization, and the fact that a shop was created and goods were made means I can convey things instantly by sight, so I thought it was the right answer. Even without talking about "Nanno Hanashi Desu Ka" to acquaintances, the conversation continued with "That design is cute," and while talking, they said, "Maybe I'll try writing too." I felt that the accumulation of time we have spent has greatly widened the entrance to writing. If people just know about it and look it up, they will find out that there is such a big, silly, and interesting world here. I think that being able to shorten the effort of looking it up and closing the distance is what visualization and branding are all about. I think the entertainment of literary dissemination that we should aim for is taking shape firmly. Thank you. And I would like to continue playing here just like this. I think that is the longest but most fun path. Currently, there are people who are expressing "Nanno Hanashi Desu Ka" in the outside world little by little. Public submissions, illustrations, exhibitions, videos, audio, and performances. If each person expresses themselves and returns to the alley to laugh about "I went and played like this," whether it is fiction or non-fiction, I think that will create many more chains. Without barriers to expression, I want to enjoy the expression itself, saying "Nanno Hanashi Desu Ka." Now, the next collection will be from

Monday, August 4th to Friday, August 8th.

Being able to use the weekend for editing gives me a little more breathing room. Thank you.

See you next time for the 42nd Cool-Flavor Issue of the "What Are You Talking About Department" Newsletter. I might want to cool off with some "What Are You Talking About Mystery" stories for the first time in a while. Any kind of mystery is fine, and even a sweltering, intense story is okay too. This isn't a rule, just a request. If anyone can write one, please do. In the end, I'll just say as always, "What are you talking about?"

What are you talking about?
