[cup;3] Operation: Spread 'Nan no hanashi desu ka' to the Radio (What are you even talking about now?)

I heard a rumor that there is an operation to spread the back-alley phrase "Nan no hanashi desu ka" (What are you even talking about?) beyond Note.
One part of that operation is to submit a message to "Shinichiro Azumi's Sunday Heaven" and get Mr. Azumi to say "Nan no hanashi desu ka" on air.

I know I'm just hearing about it now, but since there's also a book project, I've contributed a piece and am participating in the fun in a big way.

I also like "Shinichiro Azumi's Sunday Heaven" and listen to it often, so I wanted to join the operation.
However, everyone in the back alley works and moves incredibly fast, and as a slowpoke, I couldn't keep up when the project started, so I ended up playing rock-paper-scissors after the fact.

Everyone in the back alley might say to me, "What are you even talking about now?" But since it's a long-running operation, I hope that's okay.

This week's message theme is "Things I recently noticed." I wrote a message for this theme that ties into the "sleep talk" broadcast three weeks ago.

For the December 15th Sunday Heaven, I am an irregular listener (Mr. Azumi is stubborn, defining regular listeners as those who listen via AM radio and everyone else as irregular), so I will be checking this after the final "Nan no hanashi desu ka" newsletter of the year is published.If, by some miracle, it gets read, I hope to report it in the next follow-up week. (If there is no report, please read between the lines.)

About three weeks ago, I believe there was a message about "counting Nerunerunerune instead of sheep when falling asleep."

This was the first time I learned that people "count sheep because of the phonetic similarity to 'sleep'." One sleepless night, I tried counting Nerunerunerune, but it just made me salivate more and didn't induce sleep at all. (I'm sorry to the person who submitted that.)

However, I recently thought of counting "takosumi" (octopus ink), which sounds similar to "oyasumi" (good night), as something with a similar phonetic feel.

I count each puff of ink an octopus releases in units of "pushu," imagining the scene of an octopus swimming away while kicking up black sand. It goes like, "Takosumi one pushu, takosumi two pushu."
"Takosumi three pushu, takosumi four pushu." Around this point, my vision goes pitch black. Since it's pitch black, I thought squid would work too, so I switched to "ikasumi" (squid ink).
"Ikasumi five pushu, ikasumi six pushu" is the scene of a squid appearing from the side and crossing by while spraying thick ink.
From around here, it stops mattering whether it's a squid or an octopus.
If I count by fudging the first two letters like "Funfun-sumi seven pushu, Funfun-sumi eight pushu," it becomes indistinguishable from "oyasumi."
From "Funfun-sumi nine pushu," the end of the word "pushu" starts to stretch out into "pushu~," sounding like the sound of breathing while asleep.

And so, the "Funfun-sumi counting sleep induction operation" was a success around 74 pushu~. Even though my brain was wide awake and active before bed, I was able to sleep soundly until morning.

On a Sunday morning, listening with a fully alert brain, I think it would be a "What are you even talking about?" situation, but when sheep and Nerunerunerune don't work, I would love for Mr. Azumi to try the Funfun-sumi sleep induction method!!

That's the kind of text it is. I'm already feeling a bit weak-kneed, thinking it might be too long and not suitable for a hugely popular live broadcast program. I'm sure there's an optimal character count and submission time.

However, there's no time like the present, and I want to do what I want to do this year within this year, so Let's Hustle!! I sent it. For the first attempt, enthusiasm is the top priority! If it seems like it might catch on, I think I'll research it further.

There are already people researching this. I will search for my seniors' backs with binoculars, find them, and follow in their footsteps.

P.S. I used more images than usual today. Why? Because I finally found this article! (lol) Until then, I had been borrowing them from other people's articles (lol).
