[300 Posts Commemoration] Popular Articles and Favorite Articles

Hello. This is Iori Sakurakoji.

With my previous post, the number of articles on my note has reached 300.

This time, to commemorate 300 articles, I will introduce my popular articles and my favorite articles on note.

I would be very happy if you could stay with me until the end.

Three Popular Articles

I have selected these based on high view counts and high numbers of likes.
It feels more like a "selection of three" rather than a "top three".

1. 'Inserting a Bookmark. ~On Mone Kamishiraishi's "Iroiro"~'

This is a review article of Mone Kamishiraishi's essay collection "Iroiro".

It is an article I have a strong personal attachment to, as I wrote it by picking up and writing down the things I felt and thought while reading it one by one.

Many people read it, and I received many likes. Thank you so much...!

If "Ano Uta -1-" was the trigger for me to start liking Mone-san, then "Iroiro" might be the reason why I like her.
It was a wonderful book where you could feel the warmth from the pages themselves. If you haven't read it yet, please do.

2. 'I think a "good piece of writing" is a piece of writing that the author wrote with a smile.'

This is a relatively recent article.
Excluding pinned articles, this was the first one to exceed 100 likes. I am very happy about that.

I felt it might be presumptuous for me to talk about "good writing"... but the feeling of "I really want to convey this!" took precedence, so I went ahead and posted it.

Actually, some time after posting it, I changed the title from the assertive "~is." to "~I think it is." I think this feels more like me.

3. 'Three words I'm glad I encountered this year (2022 version)'

This is one of the "things I'm glad I encountered this year" series that I posted various parts of at the end of the year.
I received more reactions than I imagined. Thank you so much...!

The three words introduced in the article are all ones that have warmth and power, as if they represent the "power of words" just as they are.

I hope they reached those who needed these words. And if this served as an opportunity for you to pick up "words you're glad you encountered" from the many words scattered around you, it would be my greatest happiness.

Favorite Articles

I have too many favorites to choose from, so I'll just go ahead and post the articles that I personally think turned out well.

If there are any unread articles or articles that catch your eye, please take a look.

"The Scent of 'Endings' That Wafts from Ayase's Music"

"The True Nature of 'Cool' as I See It Is 'Dignity'."

"3 PM, Photosynthesizing at a Cafe."

"Writing About What You 'Love' Builds Confidence."

"10 Questions to Turn a 'Day Where I Couldn't Do Anything' into a 'Pretty Good Day'"

"That Singing Voice Holds the Warmth and Radiance of Life. / About Kaf."

Summary

I feel that for posts 201 through 300, I was able to make the content of each individual article more substantial.

I personally feel a happy change, as I have more 'articles I'm deeply attached to' and 'favorite articles' than ever before.

I do a review every 100 articles, but I highly recommend that you also try writing a 'review note' periodically at your own pace.

You might make new discoveries, and it makes using note even more fun.

Of course, all the articles I couldn't introduce this time are also precious works to me.
And every 'like' and comment I've received so far has become fuel for me.

I would be happy if you would continue to warmly watch over the growth of Iori Sakurakoji.

Excuse me for interrupting after the afterword.
This is Iori Sakurakoji, finished with the final polish.

I'm always writing on note and sometimes I wonder, 'What is it that everyone wants to know...?'

So, if you have any questions for me, I would like to answer them in an article.
Basically, I would like to answer anything other than personal information, so I would be happy if you could comment on this article. (Once I post the article answering your questions, I will reply to your comment with a link.)

Also, if you have any requests such as "I want you to write an article on this theme," please feel free to leave a comment.

Sorry for the long post after the afterword...!
I hope to see you again in my articles.
