Colorful flowers bloom in GW notes [Introduction to wonderful articles and projects]

Good evening.
I fell asleep at an odd time today, and when I woke up, it was an odd time...
Sleep rhythms really get thrown off during holidays, don't they?

I wonder if today is the last day of Golden Week for some of you.
It's depressing after a long weekend, but if you set the bar low—like just getting to the office means the work is done—you might be able to get moving smoothly.

Today is an article about introductions.

Well, in April, I collaborated with SwitchBot to run a giveaway project. I'm sure some of you remember.

And, and!
Among those who received the prizes, a few people have written reviews...!

I'm happy that Rakuraku-san, who always values natural joy, is enjoying the candle warmer.
Thank you!

Teineina-kurashi-san also sent in a review of the candle warmer from their lovely room...!! Thank you.

Miriho-san, who lives in Hokkaido, said that because their house is highly airtight, the CO2 concentration in their own environment was actually high...!
They said that after they started ventilating, their headaches and such were reduced.
A CO2 sensor might be very useful in cold regions.
Thank you for the very helpful review!

And, there are even people who wrote reviews even though they unfortunately didn't win!

Megulog-san became interested because of the project, and it seems they used the coupon given to those who didn't win to purchase a candle warmer.

W-wow...!
Even though I couldn't send you one, you bought it at your own expense. Thank you.
I was drawn in from the part where you broke the incense plate.

Oh, by the way, some people whose names didn't appear during the winner announcement did win, but since I was accepting applications for a completely separate pool for memberships, they won through that.
(*Being a membership member does not make it easier to win in the general pool)

I didn't intend to use that to get people to join the membership, so I was doing it quietly. I wanted to cherish those who have been with me for a long time.

Since I receive money for memberships, when giving away prizes, there are price limits under the Act against Unjustifiable Premiums and Misleading Representations (up to 10,000 yen for a 500 yen item), so the lineup was a bit of a 'one-item luxury' style.

Seeing the products actually arrive in your hands like this makes me happy all over again that I did this project...!

I'm sorry to those who didn't win... Maybe I can do something for the 4th anniversary...

That's right, if there's another opportunity like this, I should just increase the winning rate for those who didn't win last time. It's like a lottery system for municipal housing.
Please don't let this discourage you, and I look forward to your continued support.

Oh! Changing the subject, Homura Fai-san's work that I introduced in the following article

The novel, 'Tabineko no Relax Shijo Shugi' (The Traveling Cat's Supremacy of Relaxation).

I finished reading it to the end...!!

The travel cat's philosophy of relaxation, spoken quietly by the seaside.I wrote a detailed recommendation review for it, but I could truly empathize with the protagonist and the travel cat, and it was a work I looked forward to reading every day. I love it.

The fact that there were few characters was also easy for me to read, which was nice.

It seems I'm the type who, once I empathize with one person, can't see anything else. When there are many characters and the perspective changes frequently, I sometimes can't keep up.

For example, with the novel 'The Three-Body Problem,' there were so many characters and it was hard to remember their names, so it was difficult for me...

Homura-san is currently running a generous project called Reading works recommended in the comments.

You've written something with all your might, but no one reads your novel or essay. We've all been there, haven't we...

It's okay. Homura-san will read it!!

Please take this opportunity.

Furthermore, Nozomin-san has started a new, wonderful project...!

A failure story is just a disappointing experience for yourself, but if you tell it to others, they might laugh or feel a sense of familiarity...!

Everyone, please try applying. I'm thinking of writing something too 🤗

Submissions are open until Saturday, May 23, 2026.

Perhaps because it was during Golden Week, I feel like I had many opportunities to read a lot of articles this week. I read many other wonderful articles, but I'll stop here as it would get too long.

Since there was also the Literature Flea Market, it felt like a festival inside note!

It was a slightly different atmosphere than usual, and I had a fun time.

How was your Golden Week? There might be some of you who are still on break today, but I hope you had a fun holiday.

For those of you connecting your days off to make it a long weekend, please continue to enjoy it.

Thank you for reading until the end.
