Shohei Ohtani's Secret? The Secret to the "Fluffiness" Common to Rice Balls, Baseball, and Music
Rice balls, baseball, and music—the secret to the "fluffiness" common to them all
1. Shohei Ohtani x Bongo Rice Balls—The Ultimate Performance Created by Fluffiness
The other day, I ate a rice ball from a collaboration between Shohei Ohtani, FamilyMart, and Bongo.
The moment I took a bite, I was surprised by its "fluffy texture".
When you think of rice balls, you tend to imagine ones that are squeezed tightly, but
Bongo's rice balls are gentle, as if they contain air,
and are characterized by a texture that melts in your mouth.

This is something that also applies to making sushi.
Skilled sushi chefs don't crush the rice, but insteadmake use of "negative space" when shaping itto create the best flavor.
And I couldn't help but wonder, isn't this "fluffiness" also common to baseball and music?
Thinking about that, I pictured Shohei Ohtani's play.
2. The Overwhelming Playing Style Born from Shohei Ohtani's "Neutrality"
When watching Shohei Ohtani's batting or pitching,
you notice that he isnever tense.
He doesn't have a strained expression; he looks cool and collected, with his shoulders relaxed.
Whether he's at the plate or in a pinch, he isalways in a "neutral" state.
In baseball, if you are too tense, you won't get good results.
If you try too hard to hit a home run, your bat path gets disrupted,
and in pitching, if you put too much force into it, the sharpness of the ball drops.
In other words, to perform at your best,
you need "space to relax" and "the flexibility to go anywhere."
Don't you think this also applies to music production?
3. "Fluffiness" is Also Important in AI Music Production
When making music, we tend to get
stuck on specific genres or stylesthinking, "I have to make a song like this!"
However, when I use SUNO AI to create music,
I intentionally focus ona "state of nothingness".
✔ Don't get hung up on a specific genre
✔ Accept the accidental phrases created by the AI
✔ Don't try too hard to "make the perfect song!"
In the process of actually mastering SUNO AI,
there have been many times when a song was born that was "completely different from what I originally imagined, but actually more interesting!"
AI music also needsa "fluffy feel".
4. A "Neutral State" for Freely Creating Music with SUNO AI
Just like Shohei Ohtani's batting or the way they make rice balls at Bongo,
I have realized that "leaving room without being too rigid" is also important in AI music.
Instead of deciding that "this is the only right answer!"
listen to the new musical possibilities that AI presents.
And, while cherishing that "fluffy feeling",
I believe that creating with a "flexible mindset that can move in any direction" is
the key to producing the best music.
5. For those who want to create music more freely
If you are also interested in AI music,
🔹 "How should I utilize SUNO AI?"
🔹 "What are the ways to monetize it?"
🔹 "I want to create songs with more free ideas!"
You might have such questions.
Therefore, I have prepared a paid note filled with the SUNO AI utilization methods and monetization know-how that I have practiced.I have prepared a paid note filled with the SUNO AI utilization methods and monetization know-how that I have practiced.⬇⬇👇🏻👇🏻⬇👇🏻

6. Toward a new musical expression created by "space"
Baseball, rice balls, sushi, music.
At first glance, they seem like completely different genres,
but what they all have in common isthe beauty of "fluffy" space.
Shohei Ohtani's neutral batting,
the exquisite grip of Bongo's rice balls,
and the "unpredictable music" created with SUNO AI.
Isn't it because they are "not too rigid" that the best performance is born?
Why don't you also try creating music freely in a "neutral state of mind"
while using SUNO AI? A new world is surely waiting for you.
