Fuuma changed his profile avatar on his twitter, like this :

But, he feels troublesome becaus of the empty space on the left side.

@Fuma_Sadamoto

I changed the profile image. I cant answer the question like ‘why there is empty space on the left?’ Please acknowledge it beforehand.

@yu_matsumura24

Why there is empty space on the left?

@Fuma_Sadamoto

If you want to know so much I will tell you.That is due to the sense of Yu Matsumura-san who took this picture.

[seigaku9th-blog]

on shonichi, hirata (4th kaidoh) & makita (4th momo) went to see tenimyu’s VS higa, and bumped into basshi (4th inui) as well! here’s the three of them with their successors.

hirata, as per his habit, wrote an entire essay about the experience. it’s a beautiful read, but i’d mostly like to share this excerpt:

yuichiro_hirata 牧島くんの海堂は 色気があってとても素敵でした。 足がとても綺麗でした。笑。 makishima-kun’s kaidoh had amazingly nice sex appeal. and his feet were also very beautiful. LOL.

[wintersilhouette-blog1]

Seigaku 9th graduation has been announced. Even though I haven’t been inside the fandom for a long time, but I surely will miss each and everyone of them.

Wrestlequest: Tokyo

Hey everyone! I’m back from Japan. What a trip! I will post a bunch of stuff about it in a bit (still unpacking, jet lagged, etc), but as a baseline, here are the shows I attended while I was there, courtesy of Cagematch. I thought 10 shows was a lot, but I met a bunch of fans from overseas who were going to 20+. If it wasn’t clear before, it should be now: I am a fake wrestling fan. I might as well wear be wearing a Dolph Ziggler t-shirt and have a Twitter screen name like “WokenCloset316.”

Sho Sakurai goes to the romantic Miyajima Island on a two-day, one-night school trip with Shinichi Hatori, Eiji Kotoge, and Takashi Yoshimura on the "1 Oku 3000 Mannin no SHOW Channel" special

"The Nippon Television" variety show "1 Oku 3000 Mannin no SHOW Channel" "Adult Social Studies Field Trip SP", featuring Arashi's Sakurai Sho, announcer Hatori Shinichi, Biking's Kotoge Eiji, and "Heisei Nobushi kobushi'"s Yoshimura Takashi, will be broadcast from 14:35 p.m. to 16.00 p.m. on japanese time and on 6.35.-8.00 a.m. on european time 27.10.2024. This time, they will go on a two-day, one-night trip around Hiroshima and Hyogo.

Miyajima in Aki, home to the World Heritage Site Itsukushima Shrine, is a popular tourist destination visited by approximately 4.65 million tourists annually. It is counted among Japan's Three Most Scenic Views alongside Matsushima (Miyagi) and Amanohashidate (Kyoto), but we embark on a journey to discover why Miyajima was chosen as one of Japan's Three Most Scenic Views and why Itsukushima Shrine was built on the sea.

Arriving on Miyajima by ferry from the mainland, Sakurai and his friends are astonished to discover that, although the island is inhabited, there is absolutely no "that" on the island. What is that "that" that does not exist on Miyajima, which is known as the "island of the gods"? Having suddenly come into contact with the mysteries of Miyajima, Sakurai and his friends learn about the unknown relationship between Miyajima and Taira no Kiyomori, and the secret hidden in the large torii gate that stands on the sea, as they walk along the approach to the island with historical writer Kawai.

The shrine building style of Itsukushima Shrine, which incorporates the Shinden-zukuri style of the Heian period, is one with the sea and the mountains, boasting an unparalleled beauty. When you look around with your back to the worship hall, you will see a mysterious sight. Yoshimura, a history lover, is excited to learn the reason why Miyajima was chosen as one of the Three Most Scenic Views of Japan, and the romantic untold story behind it.

Afterwards, they will enjoy the trip atmosphere by eating local gourmet food at the Omotesando shopping arcade in Miyajima and making their own original rice scoops. They will also enjoy piping hot conger eel rice at a famous conger eel restaurant that is frequented by many celebrities.

After filling their stomachs, they head to Mount Misen, which towers behind Itsukushima Shrine. It is said that if they reach the top of the mountain, they will understand why Miyajima is called the "Island of the Gods." They take a ropeway to the middle of the mountain, and then walk for 30 minutes to the top. After seeing some amazing sights and finally relaxing in the hot springs of a long-established inn, Sakurai and his friends head to their next destination, Kobe.

The second day of the trip starts in Kobe. They elegantly enjoy the "world's best breakfast," created by a French master and said to have captivated the French president and Hollywood actors. After a luxurious morning, they head to their destination, Kawasaki World. It is an experiential museum where you can "see, touch, and learn" about the products created by the Kawasaki Heavy Industries Group, well known for its Kawasaki motorcycles. Kotoge, a motorcycle enthusiast who had been bossed around by the history-loving members up until now, is excited to see it.

The predecessor of Kawasaki Heavy Industries was a shipyard established in 1878 (Meiji 11) by Kawasaki Shozo, known as the king of shipbuilding. How did Kawasaki Heavy Industries, which was originally a shipbuilding company, become famous for motorcycles? Learn about the surprising history of the company, which not only made ships and motorcycles, but also made everyday items that everyone uses at home and Japan's first ○○, as well as its incredible achievements in Europe.

The company that Kawasaki Heavy Industries is currently focusing on is "that business" that is attracting attention as the next generation of energy. Learn about Kawasaki's amazing technology, which is a world first and has an eye on the future.

Hello? Anyone tuned into this transmission? I know websites are pretty antiquated these days, with the exception of ecommerce. And that’s exactly what we are here for right now, kinda. Issue 11 of Stoops is here, and definitely is for sale, but let’s ignore the dollars and cents of it and focus on the subject: mental health.

 This issue was a difficult one, not just emotionally, but in treading lightly among a very sensitive subject to get some hard truths from those struggling with mental illness, and even just general mental health tribulations. I believe we succeeded in walking that line and this issue is very heavy, both in it’s editorial and photo bounty.

 You can order it here!

[satoshi-mochida]

Spike Chunsoft has released new information and screenshots of Zanki Zero: Last Beginning further introducing four of the game’s eight main characters—Haruto Higurashi, Ryo Mikajime, Rinko Susukino, and Yuma Mashiro—as well as the game’s ruins, creatures, and more.

Get the details below.

■ Characters

Haruto Higurashi (voiced by Toshiyuki Toyonaga) – Editor of Sloth

Editor at the industry-leading publisher Mashiro Shuppan. 25 years old. After a certain something pushes him over the edge emotionally, he heads for the rooftop, but—when he wakes up after, it was in a world where humanity had fallen.

Haruto is a diligent leader, but to that extent lacks flexibility. He is the last to wake up among the eight people on Gareki Island, and Extend TV declares that his awakening completes the last survivors of humanity. He likes spicy foods and dislikes sweets.

Ryo Mikajime (voiced by Toshihiko Seki) – Artist of Envy

A young and upcoming bondage artist who makes artwork that binds together people and objects. 25 years old. As he cannot afford to make a living off his artistic activities alone, he also works as a cameraman to get by.

Bondage is and always will be his style of art, and he only sees the things he binds as sexual “once in a while.” He is cheerful, sociable, and quick to open his heart to anyone he meets. He can also be unexpectedly cowardly, and at first has a negative attitude towards exploring the danger-filled ruins.

Rinko Susukino (voiced by Haruka Yoshimura) – Florist of Lust

A lovely woman who works for her parents’ flower shop. 25 years old. She is a hard worker with a very helpful and kind personality, but is also a bit of an airhead. When she awakens on the island, she is unable to deal with the sudden change of the conditions around her and seems to be stricken with considerable panic.

Due to the nature of her work, she knows flowers and their language very well, and judges Ryo Mikajime to be a “Cactus-like person.” She believes that she and the others are part of a television reality show, and goes into the ruins, but…?

Yuma Mashiro (voiced by Ayana Taketatsu) – Heiress of Gluttony

The only daughter of the leader of the world-famous enterprise known as Mashiro Group. 25 years old. She is an elusive character with a cool attitude, who does things at her own pace and does not often show emotion. Since she is from one of the wealthiest families in the country, her behavior is somewhat other-worldly.

At any rate, she is obsessed with eating and maintaining style. When the topic of food comes up during conversation, she has a habit of eating fantasy “air meals.”

■ Explore the Ruins to Reveal the Pasts of the Eight Main Characters

The eight main characters are cloned humans who can only live for 13 days, but can regenerate any number of times through the “Extend” system. You will have to explore dangerous ruins while dealing with both the problems of gathering parts to complete the “Extend Machine,” through which it is possible to free the clones from their restricted life spans, and earning the amount of Score required to be able to “Extend” before they reach the end of their life span. Here, we will introduce the connection between the ruins and main characters, as well as the dangers of the ruins that go beyond wild animals.

Gimmicks: The Eight Characters Must Be Alive to Open the “Zanki Hatch”

In the ruins, there will sometimes be a thick steel gate known as a “Zanki Hatch.” In order to open this gate and progress, all eight characters must be alive.

Every chapter has plenty of ruins, which are remnants of buildings that were used in everyday life, such as commercial facilities. But it seems unnatural for gates like the Zanki Hatch to have been installed before the world was destroyed.

Zanki Zero: Last Beginning has a variety of gimmicks beyond the Zanki Hatch, including pressure-sensitive switches and small holes that only children can fit through.

Every Ruin Has a Common Feature

At first glance, the ruins that appear in each chapter, which include station buildings and tree-house style leisure facilities, do not appear to be connected. However, the ruins actually have a common feature. That is, “among the eight main characters, there is a major connection to someone’s past.”

Learn the Pasts of the Eight Main Characters through the Ruins

In Zanki Zero: Last Beginning, the character that the player takes the perspective of changes for every chapter, and the ruins you explore are also connected to that character. In these ruins that are deeply connected to the characters, like if they once worked at an office, the incidents and traumas they experienced in the past will come to light.

The first chapter unfolds from Haruto’s perspective and plays out from there. He will explore the ruins of the “Mashiro Garden Tower,” which is the station building where Mashiro Shuppan, his former place of employment, was located.

“Memories of the Ruins” Recorded in Mysterious “Capture Videos”

Within the ruins are several old televisions like the one in the garage on Gareki Island, which broadcast the same “Extend TV” station as the one in the garage. Depicted on the televisions are episodes of Extend TV in which Sho discovers a mysterious video tape (VHS) and checks it out with Mirai. According to Mirai, these tape are “Capture Videos,” and are “meant to be used to understand the memories associated with the ruins and clear it.”

The first Capture Video, which is questionably titled “Laziness #1: The First…,” shows Haruto as a new employee at Mashiro Shuppan, but how can it be used to clear the ruins as it is intended to be used? And what kind of memories are recorded in the second volume and so on?

Monstrous Creatures will Attack the Survivors

When the main characters discover the figures of humans in the ruins, they express happiness in there being other survivors besides themselves. However, what stands before them is not human, they are monsters with the appearance of humans…

According to Extend TV, these monsters are called “creatures” and are natural enemies to humanity, as they are dangerous beings who mean to take lives of the main characters. Also, Mirai says that “‘creatures’ are the ‘shadow’ of what humanity once was…”

Some Creatures can even speak. Are they really a shadow of what humanity once was?

Mirai says that creatures are not only aiming for the lives of the main characters, they are also aiming for the “Cross-Key.” However, the reason they are aiming for the Cross-Key is unclear.

—Cross Key

The Cross-Key is a cross-shaped metal part attached to the navel of all eight main characters. It preserves all the information, experiences, and memories of the clones.

Due to the information recorded by the Cross-Key, the clones preserve their original personalities no matter how many times they die. In other words, in order to create clones with the Extend Machine, that character’s Cross-Key is required.

In terms of the game system, when a character dies, their Cross-Key is automatically collected. You can rest assured that you will not lose it or forget to collect it. Also, since Mirai is actually a cloned sheep, even she has a Cross-Key attached to her left ear.
