I encountered Dr. Peale's book about 50 years ago.
At the time, I didn't understand the meaning at all, but as I grew older, I began to understand it little by little.
This poem was published two months after my note debut, taken from one of coucou's precious treasures (memos) from that time.
How many times did I give up, how many times did I think about leaving this world, I had nothing.
I had lost everything, but the only thing left was these words from Dr. Peale.
Yes, no matter how hopeless things looked, no matter how deep the bottom of the pit was, even when everyone said it was impossible to stand up, I held onto 'hope' until the very end.
Even now, more than 50 years later, these words continue to shine just as brightly as they did back then. Yes, perhaps they were the bible for the life of foolish, silly coucou.
👇 Published in the 80th work, 'I think I'll live a little longer, I think I'll try a little harder.' It was a precious 'Like' received from 30 people.
2. What if there were no note in this world? What if note disappeared from this world? What if there was no note in this world? What if note disappeared from this world?
Everyone, if there were no note in this world,
if note disappeared from this world,
what would you do?
Silly coucou here, I feel like I might lose hope. After all, it has already become a habit on its own, and above all, it's a part of my life.
No, it's a part of my life.
What should I do?
I'm no longer interested in my own homepage or blog, and the appeal of publishing books has faded. I have currently published 47 paperbacks and over 100 e-books.
However, the paperbacks cover about 20 years.
The e-books were written in a fit of anger during the COVID pandemic as part of the [I was bored during COVID, so I tried writing 100 e-books in one year!] series.
And even then, I still hadn't had enough, and that's when I encountered note.
But I can't beat the fun of this note.
Also, the fact that it's free is a draw.
After all, if this amount of information were paid, I would go bankrupt.
What would happen if everything became paid?
For creators, money is important, but having your work read by many people and seen by many people is number one, right?
It is certain that this note definitely reaches more people's eyes. (We can just separate paid and free content, right?)
And if the purpose of paperbacks is profit, then you can't really do what you like or write what you want. There are limits.
After all, publishing is a business.
Of course, it's good if the content is good, but in reality, it's a world where sales are everything.
What's more important than the content is selling it, and being able to sell it.
Everyone, if there were no note in this world,
if note disappeared from this world,
everyone, what would you do?
Meeting people whose faces you've never seen is wonderful, isn't it?
Silly coucou has 3 daughters and 1 younger sister in this note world.
Oh, and I've gained a big brother too.
And even more best friends? Classmates? They keep increasing.
Yes, blood relations don't matter.
Because there's no reason for liking someone.
Even though we've never seen each other's faces, we fall in love, like each other, worry about each other, and sometimes end up being made to cry.
There are also notes that make me angry.
Yes, people who criticize others or act condescendingly.
Note is a gathering place for people's heartfelt words.
I believe it's a place where people with similar souls gather to support and help each other. It's true that everyone is far away.
But we are all under the same Japanese sky.
I want to meet everyone while I'm still alive~
What's that, some might say, 'coucou, you used to say you were a handsome guy, right?' (laughs)
Back in the day, everyone is beautiful just by being young.
So, I'm telling the truth (laughs)~
Oh my~
It looks like I might exceed 10,000 characters for the first time in a while~
Because, it just won't end~
Everyone, if there were no note in this world,
if note disappeared from this world,
what would you all do?
That's right, as for me, coucou,
even if the world were to end tomorrow,
I would still plant an apple tree.
It's coucou~
Greetings, everyone~
Believe it or not, today marks my 4th year, and tomorrow I enter my 5th year~
The reason why foolish coucou started note was because of the man-made disaster known to many, the spread of the novel coronavirus infection, which caused me to lose almost all of my work...
Before note, I lived in the world of paperbacks (business books).
Of course, because of my publishing background, my work centered on consulting and lectures (corporate training, etc.) for shopping districts, companies, medical care, nursing care, and welfare.
However, I viewed the coronavirus in the same way I viewed the bubble burst, another man-made disaster, at the dawn of the Heisei era. Back then, too, companies went bankrupt one after another, leading to massive personal bankruptcies and a huge drop in land prices.
However, Japan destroyed itself by using something called "total volume control" on the natural flow of the economy, and it is still referred to today as the "Lost 30 Years."
And then, the economy, which had finally begun to surface, was destroyed again by this man-made disaster called the spread of the novel coronavirus.
Infected people were made out to be villains, discriminated against, driven away, and some even committed suicide.
Children were ostracized if they were infected.
Families of infected people were told not to come to work, not to get close, and were forbidden from non-essential outings. The lights in the nightlife districts went out, and businesses were forced to close one after another...
It was truly a man-made disaster.
It might have been the time when our country broke down.
And then, the vaccination campaign of "If we all cross the red light together, we won't be afraid."
As a result, it was all a lie.
Currently, there are still many people suffering from side effects.
For the past few years, every time I, coucou, have had surgery, I have been asked about the vaccine. The reason given was that the causal relationship after surgery is unknown and there is no scientific basis.
They said if I had taken it, they would have postponed the surgery...
I, who had not taken it, was given priority for surgery because I was discriminated against for not having taken it.
Of course, the doctor in charge hadn't taken it either...
It's strange, isn't it? The whole of Japan was led astray.
And at this time, most of the publishers that foolish coucou did business with were also forced into bankruptcy or closure...
Actually, the next publication had already been decided, but...
Lectures were either canceled or were just boring online events.
In the end, I even made my debut as a lecture-only YouTuber, even though I didn't want to show my face... And then, those around me went bankrupt one after another, and even now, corona-related bankruptcies are continuing intensely...
What do you mean by increasing income? Challenging high prices? Tax cuts? The rice crisis? The economy only seems good during elections.
Oh~, I wonder if Japan is in its terminal stage~
The psychosomatic medicine and mental clinics in my town are booming.
They are full of people with depression and panic disorders.
The sick people are not at fault for anything.
Even if you make an appointment, it takes several weeks to get one.
Just how many people are suffering?
And yet, they are just drugged up...
Despite being a medical powerhouse and a drug powerhouse, about 1.2 million people leave this world every year.
Furthermore, the number of illnesses continues to increase.
It's worse than war...
At that time, I met note through a friend's introduction~
What a free world it is.
Foolish coucou threw himself into this swamp of note.
The publishing world is for profit, so if it doesn't sell, they won't make it into a book.
Of course, things that don't look like they will sell from the start are impossible.
However, most publishers decide on publication based on the publishing representative or editor-in-chief.
In other words, it's that company's policy and subjectivity.
But in reality, most of them are just piles of unsold returns.
The reason is that they are only aiming for the same old thing.
If self-help books are selling, they follow suit.
If there is a hit in business books, they just do a second or third imitation.
What is this? Where did the old publishing spirit, the samurai spirit, go?
Go ahead and nurture new talent~
Actually, it's not that what sells is what sells, but that what sells is hidden within what doesn't sell.
Prize-winning contests are the same; they are decided by the judges' subjectivity.
Things you wrote with all your heart are swayed by that subjectivity, and you lose confidence.
But I don't want you to lose confidence.
It just didn't match that person's subjectivity.
Even J.K. Rowling of Harry Potter fame was not recognized by any publisher. Actually, publishers,
discard your subjectivity and publish from the reader's perspective, the consumer's perspective.
There is nothing as strange as the subjectivity inside your own head.
Throw away your old success stories.
They don't fit the times anymore.
In the publishing world, everyone says they want to write and publish a book.
I have written about publishing on my note before, but nothing compares to this world of note.
Why, you ask?
You see, it takes three to six months for a publication to be written, turned into a book, and released to the market. In some cases, it's common for it to take a year.
However, I feel that such a pace doesn't suit the coming era.
After all, note is published to an unspecified number of people the moment you write it.
Isn't that amazing?
note is just too interesting~
I feel it still holds unknown potential.
I have lived
I am still alive today.
until today
I Tried Living
Sometimes borrowing someone's strength
Sometimes I need someone's help
Sometimes clinging to someone
Sometimes I cling to someone
And now
And now
I am thinking
I think
From tomorrow on as well
From tomorrow onwards
I will continue to live like this.
That's how I'll continue to live.

Coucou-san will probably continue to live like this from tomorrow on, too.
I sincerely thank you for keeping me company with today's 10,000 characters.
As long as even one person keeps reading, I'm sure I'll keep doing note. After all, I'm continuing because I have the support of so many people.
Today, too, let's live brightly, happily, without losing to heatstroke, and without fighting.
Well then, see you tomorrow~
Please continue to look forward to [Foolish Coucou-san's Non-Fighting Theory] which will continue for a while longer~
Foolish Coucou-san, today, July 6th, is my arbitrary [note 4th Anniversary] 🤣🤣🤣🤣 It was 10,102 characters~ Thank you~
👇 At that time, Coucou-san's struggling note debut~ I didn't know how to do it 🤣 So I had my daughter help me and finally made my debut~ It took quite a long time~ I didn't understand 'likes' or 'follows' 🤣 Even comments were scary~ July 6, 2021 12:42 At the time, there were no 'likes', but only this post has many likes. I think they probably increased after a few years passed. But, it makes me happy.
3. Chise-san~ Congratulations on our 5th year together~
👇 The very first person that foolish Coucou-san, who didn't know his left from his right, met was the essayist Chise-san. What a mysterious connection~
She was probably the first person I 'liked' after learning about the note 'like' feature.
I've probably 'liked' all of her works.
After a long time, I was finally able to leave comments with trepidation.
Everything was a first, how innocent was I?
But you know, there is no censorship at all, and there is no need to proofread and redo things over and over again.
So, even though it's full of typos and omissions, that is also the real me.
I can publish it in an instant without bothering an editor.
I apologize again, but I had mistaken Chise-san for a man.
Looking at this Chise-san's icon, I had an image of a quiet man.
After all, the way of speaking was mixed with masculine (Kansai dialect) tones.
However, as we got to know each other, she started posting photos of 'Rekijo' (history girls) one after another. She even snuck in photos of herself from her younger days in the mix🤣
To my surprise, she was a woman...
What a mysterious encounter.
When I was a foolish child, my history teacher told me, 'coucou, you have zero memorization ability.'
I just couldn't remember the years.
The trauma of always being teased and scolded made me hate history.
But Chise-san's historical perspective is unique; it is truly a stream of imagination and delusion.
Ah~ I started to think that it's okay to imagine or arbitrarily fantasize (speculate) even without being based on facts, and now I have become interested in the history and culture of the town where I was born and raised.
It was truly Chise-san who was the culprit behind waking me up to history at this age.
That was the trigger, and now I am helping out with local history books🤣
I am full of gratitude. I learned that human thinking hasn't changed at all even after thousands of years. Still, she has so many works~
Chise-san~ Congratulations on our 5th year together~
Chise-san~ You're a real man~
