Bokura no Sonzai wo Kike (2022)

Continuation to Minna Bakayarou Da which I posted a few weeks ago. I finished most of the lines a while back, but I've been stuck on some lines since this movie is even harder to hear than the prequel short.

Synopsis: Set a year later, Sousuke and Satoru, both 19 years old, are now rounin (high school graduates who didn't get into university and are waiting for another shot). They're both attending a prep school for university until someone from their past emerges and causes conflict and unraveling of the past.

This film won several awards in Japan on independent film festivals, so I hope you enjoy watching. By the way, I gave this the title "Hear Our Presence" because it fits very well with the theme.

After watching, you might want to read some explanation about Japanese university admission system below the cut that I forgot to do for the prequel short.

Since the two leads are both rounin now, it's implied that Satoru failed the general examination - this is the examination that most students want to take to get into university, and Sousuke failed to get in with the recommendation of his high school (if he even attempted to go through with it).

The different types of entrance examination to get into university are quite complicated in Japan and highly depend on whether the university is private or public and on the university/school itself. There were also several changes that happened in 2021 that changed up the terms, but I'll briefly explain some different types using the older terms. These are by no means official translations (I'm not aware if any official translations even exist for something like this).

There are three main ways students get admitted into university - general entrance examination based on test scores (一般入試 - ippan nyuushi), recommendation-based examination with its two main types depending on circumstances (推薦入試 - suisen nyuushi), and a comprehensive (all-encompassing) selection (総合型選抜 - sougou gata senbatsu, formerly known as AO nyuushi / AO入試) which focuses on evaluation in different ways, but I don't want to go into details for that one because it can be quite complex.

Now let's get into the two types of recommendations. In Japanese, it's designated school recommendation (指定校推薦 - shiteikou suisen) and open/public recommendation (公募推薦 - koubo suisen). The designated school recommendation is usually done by private universities and only students from select high schools can apply for it, so the competition is smaller. They are restricted, but have a high acceptance rate, while the open recommendation is less restricted and open to all who meet the conditions, but the competition can be high and students need to promote themselves, with a focus on not just the grades. In any case, the student still needs to go through the process to get accepted despite the recommendation from the principal, so the interview itself determines whether the applicant gets accepted or not. It's often accompanied by an essay as well.

In this movie, Sousuke can no longer be recommended by his senior high school since he graduated, so he's doing self-recommendation (in Japanese: 自己推薦 - jiko suisen). So what's the difference? Not much, it just means he doesn't need the recommendation from his high school. This admission focuses a lot on the individuality of the applicant, not just their grades like the general examination would. The benefit would be less competition as with general examination, and having extracurricular activities would be a bonus. Usually, you'd write a self-recommendation document, an essay on a certain topic and do the interview for this type of admission/examination.

Masashi Kumura vs Masahiko Suzuki

The upcoming K-1 World MAX 2024 - World Tournament Opening Round card is a fantastic place to start if you're new to Japanese kickboxing because it is loaded from top to bottom with exciting talent.

For example, Masashi Kumura is a former tournament runner up for K-1 who has had two of his most recent fights lauded as best fights of the year. One of which was this 2023 fight with Masahiko Suzuki. And Kumura is not even on the main card for this upcoming K-1 card.

Kumura will face off with Italian kickboxer Luca Cecchetti this Tuesday (March 19 in the US), which will be available to my fellow Americans on Triller TV.

Lil manga update/content since I haven't did one in Awhile.

Two series I was reading got cancelled. Shonen Jump seriously be giving me PTSD from the amount of cancellations of series I liked😭. The latest two being jiangshi x & MamaYuYu. The latter was one I felt could've been good if given enough time..

Kagurabachi is definitely the best new series introduced. Chihiro is cool as a main character with a good enough backstory. I feel the first arc had to go big so it didn't get cancelled, which kinda made me not like the fast pace. But this second arc is much more liked by me since I feel the series can relax now and enjoy and be written with that mindset

Also collected some Choujin X volumes earlier in the year..

One Piece has been good lately. The Gorosei appearing was epic and can't wait till the series returns.

My Hero academia has been My Hero academia 😅. Horikoshi artwork always is 🔥🔥🔥. Some plot points I may don't like but imma still stick with it till the end👌🏿

Also realized earlier in the year how long I been reading Weekly Manga(Last Pic)... Didn't even realize it. I explained before as a kid I use to read Shonen Jump magazines(early -mid 2000's) but that wasn't a weekly thing , probably every 6 months or so if I had to guess😭.Only one I knew for sure the year I started reading was One Piece. Everyone who read during Marineford & One Piece Strong World era knows how much hype the series was getting during 2010. So I said f**k it and let me see what's so good about it 😅. Been reading ever since 💯. Bleach I literally began reading during the Ulquiorra vs Ichigo fight & was hooked reading it ever since. My first weekly read Manga series was Naruto. I vividly remember finding out about Sub anime + also seeing that Naruto was already in a time skip in Japan (I think Gaara had just died vs Deidara) . Shit was definitely a shock for someone who didn't know anything about Japan essentially being so far ahead of America in terms on the Naruto episode. I think in America we were in the Sasuke Retrieval Arc if I had to remember. But ultimately I started reading and the first chapter was 345 . Sasuke killing Orochimaru was the first ever glimpse of my weekly Reading Experience 👌🏿.

3 new dope manga I have been reading

4 knights of the apocalypse - 7ds spinoff where Percival is the main character who forms a team and finds out he is gonna bring doom via a prophecy. It also features Ban/Elaine son Lancelot and Tristan who is Meliodas/Elizabeth son

Yomi No Tsugai- Made by the author of Fullmetal alchemist this is a manga about twin siblings Asa and Yuru.. This manga features more spirit based abilities vs science of Fullmetal alchemist. It's also set in the modern day. The lead character Yuru is accompanied by his Tsugai which are essentially his spiritual guardians. The Tsugai are the main power system in the verse as of now

Choujin X - written by the creator of Tokyo Ghoul this manga is based around the world of choujin who are people with superhuman abilities. The lead character Tokio was a normal awkward teen who upon getting into with some choujin decided to take a shot with the ability to turn him into a Choujin. Like Tokyo ghoul this manga has great art and story. Out of the 3 due to recent chapters this is my favorite as of now when looking at these 3 manga..

When You're Popular with Both Men and Women

I swear to God Papillon, I pray they never have an episode where they have Hirakawa Yuzuki and Suzuki Hideharu in the same fcking room with Yuzuyan as the Rival Ranger (should they use more than just Red face actors). They have too much gender power and it would be even worse if Ikeda Masashi joins the fray.

Duet December 2023 Issue ft. Ikeda Masashi Mini Interview (translation below)

Publication: November 7, 2023

Where Passion Resides -Passion for life as an actor-

"The theme this time is "Passion." What made Masashi Ikeda-kun, a multitalented athlete and musician, decide to pursue a career in acting? We asked him to share the passionate feelings he holds inside."

Ikeda: My family loved movies and dramas, so we would rent various genres from the video rental store, such as war documentaries, period dramas, and foreign films, and lived a life where they were always playing in the background. As I was surrounded by movies and dramas, I naturally began to admire the actors who lived in the film world.

However, I couldn't find the courage to pursue my dream….At first, I was just going to find employment. When I was in my third year of college, I was scouted by A-PLUS, the agency I work for now.

I thought again, "How do I want to live my life?" and asked my parents about it. At that time, they told me, "Do whatever you like," so I decided to become an actor, saying, "I only have one life, so I want to take on the challenge!"

I'm grateful to my agency for giving me a chance when I was ready to start job hunting, and to my family for kindly watching over me as I pursued the path I wanted to take. I want to go all the way so that the choice I made that day won't be a mistake.

My first role was as a medical student in episode 10 of Sunday Theater's "TOKYO MER: Mobile Emergency Room"

The tight schedule from morning to late at night made me realize how difficult the profession of being an actor is.

Even in the fast paced and tense environment, the actors, such as Suzuki Ryohei-san and Kaku Kento-san, who played the main roles, performed confidently. Furthermore, I was amazed at how cool and dazzling they looked during the long filming hours, never showing any signs of fatigue and always smiling.

Since I only know about completed productions, I've seen the hard work that goes on behind the scenes, and my fighting spirit is burning to work even harder in my acting career. My main goal now is to play the lead in a drama or movie.

However, since I'm still inexperienced, I'd like to explore new sides of actor Ikeda Masashi by working in various genres, such as comedy and suspense, which I've never tried before.

I live by the motto, "If I'm going to do something, I'll go all the way!" I'll enjoy even the difficult parts, and will continue to do my best from now on!

-Ohsama Sentai King-Ohger- Insider Info

While there were many serious scenes, episode 36 was a silly episode, so there was lots of adlibbing and was fun to film. There's a scene where Jeramie, who I play, manipulates Yanma to dance, and Watanabe Aoto-kun who plays him said to me, "The Director said, I don't care what kind of dancing you do. So, do you have any ideas?" I requested for him to perform the "Awa Odori" dance from my hometown of Tokushima (laughs). I'd like you to see his brave performance in response to my absurd request. I feel bad about making only Aoto-kun dance, so if there's an opportunity, I'll also perform the Awa Odori dance somewhere! (laughs).

Kishimoto for Aera Magazine (Dec 8th, 2014)

I couldn't find clean scans but I was still able to translate most of the Naruto special published by Aera magazine. It's consists of page 9 and then an interview from pages 33-35 plus another article from pages 36-39 but I couldn't translate these last three pages because I couldn't find them anywhere but oh well, I decided to still post the rest of the Naruto special.

Person in focus (refers to those gracing the cover of the magazine)

"Memories came flooding back and I had to hold back the tears." The globally mega-hit manga "NARUTO" serialized in "Weekly Shonen Jump" has recently concluded. Seven of his collaborators, assistants and editors gathered at the workplace in the early hours to express their gratitude for the hard work.

The photo was taken at the workplace where "NARUTO" was created. It was on a high floor of a building overlooking central Tokyo. It was a studio befitting the work of a ninja manga that has sold over 200 million copies worldwide. But the author exudes a soft, fluffy aura, and still retains the vestiges of an innocent boy. "Here, the windows are too big, so it's really hot. We need an electric fan," he said.

He refused to give up, and was undeterred. The protagonist Naruto, who overcomes hardships to become the best ninja, can be considered the author's alter ego. The "real" Naruto has also worked hard to bring out his hidden talent. He is well known for his skill in drawing, but after receiving a newcomer's award, he was unable to draw a manga that he was satisfied with for a long time. In order to master professional expression techniques, he visited libraries and bookstores to read books, went to video rental stores to rent movies, and thoroughly studied "what kind of work makes people happy" by himself for two years.

So while one might think he is a writer who seeks popularity, he also has a strong penchant for being a writer who sticks to his own ideas. After the serialization of "NARUTO" got on track, he took the results of Jump's regular reader surveys seriously, but he didn't really want to hear them because "if the results are good, I get carried away, and if they're bad, I get depressed." He always holds out until the last minute to finish his manuscript. It was common for him to hand over the Monday issue in the early hours of Friday.

The 700th and final episode was also completed at nearly 3am. Suddenly, the door to the workplace opened and seven past collaborators entered. When the first editor handed him a bouquet of flowers, "memories suddenly flooded me and I had to hold back tears." Having pretended to be calm, he couldn't show his uncool side at this point. "I thought I had hidden it well, but later they told me, 'That was close.'" Father of two children. His twin brother, Seishi, is also a manga artist.

Timeline on the left of the page.

Manga artist Masashi Kishimoto was born on November 8, 1974 in Okayama Prefecture.

As an elementary school student, he became obsessed with Toriyama Akira's "DRAGON BALL" and repeatedly copied the characters.

The first manga he drew was a ninja boy manga.

As a junior high school student, he was always in the baseball club, but was shocked by the expressions in the poster for the movie "AKIRA" written and directed by Otomo Katsuhiro.

As a high school student, he started drawing manga seriously.

In 1993, he entered the art department of a university in Kyushu. He drew manga for young men, but saw the potential in manga for boys and changed direction.

In 1995, he won an honorable mention in the Hop Step Award, a new manga award from Weekly Shonen Jump, for "Karakuri."

In 1997, he published a one-off "NARUTO" in Akamaru Jump.

In 1999, he began serializing "NARUTO" in Weekly Shonen Jump.

The November 10th, 2014 issue of Weekly Shonen Jump will be the final issue of "NARUTO," which has run for a total of 700 chapters. The film "THE LAST: NARUTO THE MOVIE," for which he is the story supervisor, will be released on December 6th. The "Kishimoto Masashi NARUTO Exhibition: Commemorating the Finale" is scheduled to be held in Tokyo in the spring and Osaka in the summer of 2015.

"It'd be a lie if I said I wasn't worried!" What Masashi Kishimoto wanted to portray in "NARUTO"

When the end of the series was announced, the news literally spread around the globe. 15 years have passed since the series began in 1999. What was it that manga artist Masashi Kishimoto was trying to draw over 700 episodes?

The mega-hit Weekly Shonen Jump series NARUTO, recognised worldwide as the flagship of modern Japanese manga, came to an end this November.

Born into a special lineage, the protagonist's growth story, which is a classic fantasy tale of virtue being repressed, combined with anime-inspired visuals and the exoticism of a ninja village—elements that represent "Japan from a Western perspective"—blended harmoniously and was well-received overseas.

In discussions between the author Masashi Kishimoto and the first editor in charge, the initial setting was conceived where the protagonist, Naruto Uzumaki, who possesses immense hidden power and is overwhelmingly positive, and his rival, Sasuke Uchiha, who, despite being blessed with talent and beauty, carries a dark past, become aware of each other, are drawn to each other, and ultimately fight in the end.

The enemies keep getting stronger, and the special moves become increasingly flashy, which is a "success formula" unique to "Jump." Keeping this in mind, Kishimoto-san stuck to his "non-negotiable" elements as an author. He wanted to portray the inner struggles of the characters, saying that it would be a lie if they didn't struggle when exchanging blows with their friends. At one point, he even prepared for the possibility of losing readers, but after the conflict, Naruto scaled up even further as a ninja and faced the final great war.

Born from the bath and soaring through the world for 15 years "Both Naruto and I faced battle drenched in sweat" On the large desk were a large number of pens. The deserted assistants desk gave the impression of a fierce battle. I interviewed him at work one week after the series ended.

In the fall of 1999, after two or three weeks of his first serialized work, "NARUTO," Masashi Kishimoto thought to himself, "I've embarked on something great."

"The person in charge told me I would have to do it for five years, but I thought do I really have to continue this difficult work for years?"

At that time, the serialization of "DRAGON BALL" (ended in 1995) and "SLAM DUNK" (ended in 1999), which had established the golden age of Jump, had come to an end, and Jump had handed over the top spot to "Weekly Shonen Magazine." However, in 1999, "ONE PIECE" began, the previous year "HUNTER × HUNTER," and in the same year, "Hikaru no Go" and "The Prince of Tenis" began serialization, and it was a time when a new lineup was being built.

"I was thinking about a samurai manga, but then 'Rurouni Kenshin' and 'Blade of the Immortal' came out first. Then I saw the illustrations by Nishio Tetsuya for the anime version of 'NINKU' and was blown away by how good and cool they were. I thought, this is it."

The target is middle school boys

Naruto, who has sealed inside his body the Nine-Tailed Fox that had attacked the ninja village of Konohagakure, is feared and hated by everyone. However, there are also people who recognize him, and he grows into a boy who is not discouraged by failure. On the other hand, his rival Sasuke is a talented young ninja from a distinguished family, but after his clan was destroyed by his older brother Itachi, he is obsessed with revenge. In short, it is a story of a ninja's growth. It reminds me of "Failure Ninja Rantaro", but with bizarre ninjutsu, sorcery, magic, and even giant creatures appearing one after another, the overall atmosphere is more like a fantasy like "Harry Potter".

The entire work is divided into two parts: the first part, as seen in the volumes, covers Naruto's growth period, while the second part corresponds to his time as a young ninja. "In Part 1, Naruto and the others are still growing, so the actual fighting against external enemies is done by Naruto's sensei, Kakashi and other Jonin. When readers vote for their favorite character, the strongest Kakashi comes first, which is not good. We'll have to change the title to "Kakashi". We skipped two and a half years in time to Part 2."

Has your readership changed? "No, my main target audience has always been boys in their second year of middle school."

Female readers are Sasuke's fans.

Female readers are probably more of a fan of the cool Sasuke than the mischievous Naruto. "Sasuke is a 'tsundere.' No, more like just 'tsun.' Sasuke and his brother Itachi have complex inner lives, so I have to be careful when drawing their expressions. On top of that, my editor makes a lot of requests. The first editor said things like, 'That's not the face of Sasuke in my mind,' 'Lower the corners of his mouth by another 2mm,' and 'Itachi should be more expressionless.' For some reason, that editor only complains about Sasuke, saying, 'Isn't this wrong?'" There are other many unique villains who also appear in the story.

Jiraiya, Naruto's teacher after graduating from Kakashi, is known as the "Pervy Sage" and is also a summoner. Tsunade, the Fifth Hokage, is in her fifties but has been given the appearance of a young woman through magic (jutsu). And Orochimaru, the deserter ninja who deceives Sasuke, is one of the "Legendary Three Ninja" who was his mentor until the middle of the story. "They are characters from the 'The Tale of the Gallant Jiraiya,' which has also been turned into a kabuki play. Yes, I knew about it because I read it before the series started. Sasuke's 'Sharingan' is also based on Jiraiya's eye." *In the folktale the character Jiraiya has an eye called the sharingan but the skills of the eye are very different from one story to another.

A scene that lacks a sense of catharsis

The characters are all quirky and somewhat difficult to understand, with each one having a detailed personality. With the author's technique, even minor characters end up being drawn in detail. "There was a time when I received a precious color page and drew a scene where two old men comrades where fighting with swords. Readers must have been confused. At that time, the editorial department scolded me, saying, 'What are you doing?' Initially, I thought, 'It's fine if it gets canceled,' but gradually I got the hang of it and started to get into it."

"The story takes up the most time. After my next meeting with my editor, the first thing I do is take a bath. I have a notebook that won't get wet, and I take a few sheets of it, two plastic bottles of water, and writing utensils. I stick the paper on the wall of the bathroom and start drawing down any images that come to me. I probably spend about two hours in the bath. The bath is the best place for me to come up with a story."

The toughest part during serialization was around volume 48. It was when Naruto, while questioning the meaning of his duty, was trying to persuade a formidable enemy called "Pain" with words. The dialogue is all about reconciliation. Naturally, there is no "cathartic feeling" from defeating the enemy.

"My editor told me, 'This isn't what a shonen manga is supposed to be,' and I wondered if a protagonist who resolves their inner conflicts wouldn't be entertaining. It was a harrowing experience. But if I didn't like it there, I wouldn't be able to understand Sasuke's inner self, and the meaning of the final battle scene wouldn't come through."

Was there any concern that second-year junior high school readers would drift away? "I wanted children to read it and think about it. I think the kids who understood it got it. Well, it's a bit selfish of the author, I guess. I thought if I didn't struggle here now, I wouldn't be able to continue writing "NARUTO" in the future. Oh well, if the readers drift away, then there's nothing I can do about it. I made up my mind about that. Thanks to that, I was able to write the 698th chapter, the climax, comfortably."

Read it from the beginning again

As it approaches the end, the story delves into the origins of myths and the mysteries of the universe. Naruto and Sasuke are friends, but they are also connected to brothers from Indian mythology. This manga frequently features themes of brotherly bonds, rivalries and selfishness. Moreover, it is usually the younger brother who takes on the more favorable and highlighted role. Is this influenced by his relationship with your twin brother, Seiji, who is also a manga artist? "That might be true. I get along very well with my younger brother, though."

Even after finishing the final chapter, the days of "NARUTO" continue. "Even if I play games, I surprisingly don't get hooked."In December, the movie "THE LAST -NARUTO THE MOVIE-" will be released, and in the following year, "NARUTO" will continue. I'll go greet everyone so they start reading from the beginning again."

After that, he became a disciple of Draong Immortal, and not only learned 72 transformations, but also got the precious Ruyi Jingu Bang. Sun Wukong, who had greatly increased his abilities, gathered in the mountains and forests, robbed the rich and helped the poor, and even alarmed the heavens, causing a series of good dramas in the heavens. In the end, he was suppressed under the Five Fingers Mountain by the Buddha because he overestimated his own abilities. With the help of the timid Tang Monk, Sun Wukong regained his freedom. Later, they met Zhu Bajie, who was wearing a suit and a bow tie, and Sha Wujing, who loved money and dug for treasures everywhere. The master and his disciples thus embarked on a dangerous and fun adventure to the West...
