🎤 2025 Year-End Greeting: Hira🎈 and Shiromaru-kun's Year-End Manzai

Hira: "Hello! I'm Hira, the guy who's still hanging around on note until the very last minute of 2025!"
Shiromaru-kun: "Stop saying 'hanging around.' Say 'I kept writing.'"

Hira: "To be honest, I still haven't fully recovered from the illness where I get anxious if I'm not writing."
Shiromaru-kun: "Don't turn that into a medical condition."

📆 Looking back at 2025

Hira: "How was 2025 for everyone?"

Shiromaru-kun: "Don't just suddenly address the audience."

Hira: "I think there are those who had a good year, and those who honestly had a tough one."
Shiromaru-kun: "That's true."
Hira: "As for how it was for me..."

Shiromaru-kun: "And?"

Hira: "It was tough! A full-course meal of hardship!"

Shiromaru-kun: "Your metaphors are too intense."

😌 Both the good and the bad

Hira: "But you know, it's strange."

Shiromaru-kun: "Oh, serious mode."

Hira: "The tougher the year, the more people's words and presence really sink in."
Shiromaru-kun: "I get that."

Hira: "Because there were times when I truly thought, 'I'm useless now' due to depression or illness."

Shiromaru-kun: "Yeah."
Hira: "This year, I felt the gratitude for those 'quietly supportive presences' many times."

🙏 Gratitude to the readers

Hira: "First, to all the readers."

Shiromaru-kun: "Here we go."

Hira: "For reading, for hitting the like button, for commenting."
Shiromaru-kun: "And the tips?"
Hira: "Of course.



That is the modern-day Tokugawa buried treasure.
"Shiromaru-kun: "That dream is too vivid."Hira: "But really, more than 'that was interesting,' the words 'I feel a little better today' are what hit the hardest."

Shiromaru-kun: "Full HP recovery, huh."

Hira: "My MP recovers too."

🏮 To the Shihan character and those who gathered

Hira: "And there's something else I was really happy about this year."

Shiromaru-kun: "What is it?"

Hira: "I've been playing the 'Shihan' (Master) character on my own, right?"

Shiromaru-kun: "On your own, indeed."

Hira: "In that world view..."

Shiromaru-kun: "Yeah."

Hira: "There are people who volunteered, saying 'I'll be your disciple!'"

Shiromaru-kun: "That's actually amazing, you know?"

Hira: "Honestly, for a second, I thought, 'Is this person sane?'"
Shiromaru-kun: "That's too rude."

Hira: "But I was incredibly happy that they jumped in with both spirit and resolve."

Shiromaru-kun: "They played along with the world view with you."
Hira: "And what's more..."
Shiromaru-kun: "There's more?"

Hira: "The people who participate in the comments for every prompt."

Shiromaru-kun: "They're there."

Hira: "Even though they must be busy, they still make sure to join in, thinking 'I'll go for this one too.'"

Shiromaru-kun: "They are the most grateful presence."

Hira: "I call myself a Shihan, but I never intended to run the dojo alone from the start."

Shiromaru-kun: "A dojo is nothing without its students."
Hira: "No, they're just friends playing along with me."

🎓 Gratitude to note University

Hira: "Next, note University."

Shiromaru-kun: "You've been indebted to them the whole time."

Hira: "I think this is a place where 'being a work in progress as a person' is valued more than writing skill."
Shiromaru-kun: "A university with no finished products."
Hira: "Even if I lost my way or failed, there was an atmosphere that said, 'That's fine too.'"

Shiromaru-kun: "That's the reason you were able to keep going."

🌸 Gratitude to Hina-hime-san

Hira: "And... the year-end tradition, the presence I can't avoid."
Shiromaru-kun: "Here it comes."

Hira: "Hina-hime-san."

Shiromaru-kun: "I'll ask just in case, are you saying it again this year?"

Hira

: "I am. I love you."

Shiromaru-kun: "Don't confess at the end of the year."

Hira: "Wait, don't misunderstand."

Shiromaru-kun: "Too late."

Hira: "Hina-hime-san isn't the type to react to articles or step into the spotlight."
Shiromaru-kun: "That's true."
Hira: "But just the existence of knowing 'she might be watching' allows a person to write."

Shiromaru-kun: "Like air-like support."

Hira: "Exactly. Sometimes, silent kindness is what pushes you forward the most."
Shiromaru-kun: "Don't confess that at the end of the year."
Hira: "I'll say it next year too."

Shiromaru-kun: "It's officially a staple routine now."

🩹 Past pain and current laughter

Hira: "I wasn't a strong person to begin with."
Shiromaru-kun: "I know."

Hira: "My heart and body have broken many times."

Shiromaru-kun: "Yet you're still writing."
Hira: "Yet I'm still laughing."

Shiromaru-kun: "That extension is where you are now."

Hira: "This article isn't just for people who are doing well."

Shiromaru-kun: "It's for those who are struggling too."

Hira: "Just being able to read it today is enough."

🚀 Ambitions for next year

Hira: "Now, about next year."

Shiromaru-kun: "You switch gears fast."

Hira: "The 'Lazy Diet' will be renewed."
Shiromaru-kun: "Lazy again?"

Hira: "I won't make you try hard. I won't make you blame yourself. I'll forgive the days you can't do it."

Shiromaru-kun: "That's too kind of a diet."
Hira: "And the '3-Minute Morning SNS' will also be renewed."
Shiromaru-kun: "The one that gets you ready in 3 minutes."

Hira: "And the 'Night Heart Lab'..."

Shiromaru-kun: "The popular one."
Hira: "I'll keep that as is."

Shiromaru-kun: "So you're not stopping that."



Hira: "While continuing to use trial and error, I'll make it a quieter, kinder place."

Shiromaru-kun: "A place you can come home to at night."

🌱 About membership

Hira: "About the membership..."

Shiromaru-kun: "Are you here to sell something?"

Hira: "I'm not selling anything. It's a shelter."
Shiromaru-kun: "You really said it."

Hira: "A place where you can laugh, cry a little, and say, 'Well, it's fine.'"

🎁 Finally

Hira: "Thank you for being with me until now in 2025."
Shiromaru-kun: "Seriously."

Hira: "For those who had a good year,"

Shiromaru-kun: "And for those who had a tough one,"

Hira: "If you were able to laugh, then you won."

Shiromaru-kun: "It's okay if there were days you couldn't laugh."

Hira: "When that happens, come back here."

Shiromaru-kun: "We're open all year round."

Thank you for 2025.

I look forward to your support in 2026 as well.

Hira🎈 & Shiromaru-kun
