The Loneliness After the Festival ① Gratitude Edition
For those who don't know that there is a Back Alley on note, you might be thinking, "What are you talking about?"
The residents of the community connected by "#What are you talking about" now number 700 people!!!
The mastermind behind the Back Alley is Kinoko Konishi-san.
Konishi-san is our section chief of the "What Are You Talking About Division".
I want to give shape to the selfless love of our section chief, who is doing the enormous task of diligently collecting and introducing our articles!!!
To my surprise, a person named Sunou Honda-san stepped forward to take on the massive task of turning everyone's articles into an e-book.
Even reading it back now brings tears to my eyes... Yes, this Back Alley also has a "Division of Doing Something Crazy". Warriors who seem completely out of their minds have gathered here.
And so, I also entered.
As a preview for the biography of Misuzu Kaneko that I was writing 🖊
Out of the 4 volumes, mine was included in the 【This is Fine Edition】.
Using the title "This is a Novel" as a cover, it is an accusation regarding Misuzu Kaneko.
This publication commemorative party was held on Sunday, July 13, 2025, from 11:30 AM at Pasela in Shibuya...
From Hokkaido in the north to Kyushu in the south, 37 out of the 99 people who entered the e-book project gathered together.
Since something like this happens maybe once in a lifetime, some people even brought their families, so there were probably nearly 50 people in total.
I feel like the presence of the little ones made it an incredibly warm and rich gathering.
They even reserved a spare room in case anyone got fussy, and I heard some people helped with babysitting.
💛 Honestly, it was nothing but love 💛
Even though we were all meeting for the first time, "thank yous" were popping up everywhere!!!
To be able to place myself in such a miraculous space and time, and to encounter such happiness... I'm glad I'm alive.
Getting carried away, I was invited to perform two Pink Lady songs 💦💦💦
Embarrassment has been washing over me afterward, and for the past few days, I've been acting like a weirdo, suddenly shouting 'Nyanko~~~!!!' 🤣🤣🤣
It was incredibly fun and I'm so grateful, and we even got souvenirs!!!
The name plate is also a treasure.
Though I often treasure things so much that I forget where I put them 💦
There was even a raffle. I didn't win (T_T)
Maiton-san's tissue calligraphy
Maiton-san, you're going to get all emotional and cry, so now you're making me cry too 😭
Behind the success of any event, there are so many people to thank.
Section Chief Konishi,Sunou-san,Maiton-san, and everyone else who helped out, thank you so much!!!
I still have more to write, so to be continued.
and although I wanted everything and couldn't decide, I chose this.
