[Tsurukame Cup] Creating, Connecting - My Personal Significance of the Project [Starts June 25th at Midnight]
Regarding the PJ-san's Tsurukame Cup Unsolicited Support Song project I participated in the other day, the song was already finished two days later ٩(๑òωó๑)۶ That was fast!
🔻 You can listen to it in this article.
I made a slightly unreasonable request for a bittersweet version (even though it's a support song), and thank you so much for responding perfectly! It has a gentle tone woven with mellow, gentle guitar. Your voice, PJ-san, sounds bittersweet in a way that's different from usual, and it's wonderful.
Tsurukame Cup spin-off project [Unsolicited Support Song] is still accepting entries! If you want a song made for you, please apply (｡˃ ᵕ ˂ )ﾉﾞ We are also looking for people to sing! 🎤✨
Now, the start of Tsurukame Cup applications is only
3 days away
and it's fast approaching!
Are your haiku, tanka, and senryu ready?
There is a month left, so there is still plenty of time✨ I'm looking forward to reading your unique haiku and poems!
[Regarding my personal significance of the project]
There are many forms of creation. Novels, essays, haiku, tanka, illustrations, videos, and so on. Among them, we are providing the theme of "haiku, tanka, and senryu." The ones who "create" are all of you, the participants. Through the tournament, people connect with people, and someone's heart reaches someone else. In other words, it also connects to note's theme of "create, connect, deliver."
I have actually witnessed connections born from writing comments on someone's poem, and new poems and novels being born from the inspiration gained there. By reading each other's work, connections will be built not only between participants and the organizers, but also among participants and among the organizers themselves.
Once you've created something, you want everyone to see it. You want to deliver it. You want to connect with someone similar. We are here to help with that. And if we can add "fun" to this, even better.
Voting and judging are also based on the idea of "connecting and delivering." Although there are wins and losses as a result, we are not creating to win. "Creating is fun," "It's happy when it reaches someone." If we connect, it becomes an even more fun place. I hope to generate such feelings in many of the people involved in this tournament.
*Supplementary note* I will correct "We are not creating to win" to "We are not creating *only* to win." I know that is one way to enjoy it, but if possible, I want people to enjoy it in various ways. Please read Mero-shan's article, which perfectly expresses what I want to say ⬇️
The catchphrase "Summer with everyone." is a phrase given to me by the tournament host, Tsuru-san. Whether you are a first-timer or a regular, I hope to help everyone enjoy this summer like a festival, connecting and spreading out.
