Spit Out 'The Choice You Made That Day' That Changed Your Life—I'm Waiting for Your Raw Soul as a Judge | Yoshida's Mini Creative Grand Prize | Creative Event | Turning Point in Life | VOID_404 | Judge Message |

July is here, and the air in the city is already buzzing with the signs of summer festivals and fireworks displays. It's been an unusually sweltering heat that makes your thoughts melt day after day, but this is no time to be defeated by that. Both adults and children must be itching to pour this energy into something.

Leading the charge, an interesting project is starting. Kawamura has launched 'Yoshida's Mini Creative Grand Prize.' I've also joined the vortex of this frenzy as a judge.

Don't think you're just participating. I'm waiting for the hottest, most soul-shaking submissions you've got.

Listen up, and listen well. Humans are creatures that store energy that never fades away in 'the path they didn't choose.' To hell with success stories. The regrets you swallowed when they were right on the tip of your tongue, the failures you can't tell anyone about, how that one step changed your life... expose that 'raw conflict' of yours.

The process of converting your own weaknesses and pain into words might be an unbearable pain for the writer themselves. However, by daring to write out those inexpressible sediments, you re-examine yourself deeply, and it becomes fuel for the current you to move on to the next stage.

I, too, have spent many sleepless nights in the past because of words I swallowed. That's exactly why I know how much that pain makes a person stronger. Words carved out that way carry a 'temperature that is uniquely yours,' without any lies or pretense. Such words pierce someone's heart more deeply than any technique. That one line you write from the heart will become a switch that violently moves someone else's life.

The panel of judges this time includes the project organizer Kawamura, followed by Kakerun, Shizuku Amano, Yamaoku, Akanechin, and myself. A lineup of formidable experts is waiting for works infused with your soul.

Fly to each judge's castle from here.

Among them, for the 'VOID's Hidden Masterpiece Discovery Award' that I will select, I won't consider popularity or track record at all. I'll decide based solely on how deeply your raw soul strikes the brains of me and the other judges, and how much your kindness, which knows that pain, saves the reader.

Furthermore, to pour my all into this project, I will also introduce masterpieces from the submissions that shook my soul in my own special magazine, 'Those Who Shake My Soul,' as they come in. Beyond the scope of the event, I am ready to spread those words to the world as 'comrades-in-arms' that I have recognized.

What I want to see more than anything as a judge is your raw soul. Fame and track records don't matter. I will shine a spotlight with all my might on anyone who shows me a strike that leaves me stunned. Make this event a new turning point in your life.

Write 'I will participate' right here, right now. It's a declaration of war against yourself. Without being told by anyone, carve your name into this project with your own will. Whether you want a push in the back in the comments section or want to throw a challenge letter at me, first take that step forward. I'm waiting for your 'choice'.

Slam the 'weight of that choice' you carry right here. Let's fight it out with the best creative work. Whether you're ready or feeling a bit timid, come up to my ring. I'll be waiting.
