Theater

Long time no see. This is Sensui no Tanuki.

It has become a season where I hate wearing a jacket during the day. The humidity is so high I feel like I'm going to turn into a slug.

This is sudden, but
I want to build a theater someday. First, I want to build one in Tokyo, and eventually, I want to build one in my hometown too. A small theater would be fine.

Of course, I know that even a small theater would be incredibly difficult to manage.

Still, I want to build one someday.

The thing is,
I have loved watching comedy since I was a child, and I secretly decided in my heart around the time I was in junior high school that I would definitely become a comedian someday.
Indeed. I am the type of comedian who became one because I admired comedians. I am humbled.

However, the town where I was born and raised was a rural town where a 7-Eleven finally opened only a few years ago, so naturally, there were no theaters nearby where comedians could perform their acts, and I spent my days without any real sense of what it meant to become a comedian.

I didn't know if I was suited to be a comedian, and furthermore, I had no place to test that.

People who live near Tokyo or Osaka are so lucky—they can watch live comedy at theaters, and even students can perform at free live shows to test their skills.

So lucky.

So lucky.

I'm so envious.

For starters,
there is no comedy culture in my village.

Maybe it's impossible for a country bumpkin like me after all.

That's what I always thought.

That is why I want to build a theater in my hometown, to reduce the number of people who feel the same way I did.
No! There were plenty of things you could have done even in the countryside! A strong desire and resolve to move to the city are what's important! You idiot!! I understand that way of thinking too. However, there are actually people who give up without even being able to take the first step because of their environment, or who have no choice but to give up, and I want to reduce the number of such people even by a little.

I suppose there might be other, smarter ways to do it these days, though.

Also, the reason I want to build a theater in Tokyo is that I want a place where I can perform live as Sensui whenever I want. That's all there is to it.

If anyone was offended, please drop a magnet in a sandbox. You can collect iron sand.

Thank you for taking your valuable time to read this. I appreciate your help.
