I finished the entire BtB series (and HHU) about a week ago and it hasn't left my mind even once.
I'm not quite sure how to put my thanks into words: You managed to make me feel so obsessed with reading like when I was a kid. I stayed up until 4 am, had to literally force myself to sleep because I was (am!) so incredibly invested. No other piece of literature has done that since like... 6 years? I cried, screamed, laughed, gasped, blushed at so many scenes - the heartache was genuinely so beautiful.
I know the first part of BtB is quite old and your writing has improved a lot since then but all the parts read incredibly seamlessly.
I could *hear* the characters voices in my head while reading, picture the scenes like a movie in my head. The attention to detail and the accuracy of the characters makes me so incredibly happy. Usually when reading, I notice every single distraction going on around me and it's so rare that something pulls me in to the point I just zero in on the story.
There's a lot of scenes that stuck in my mind and to my surprise, I resonated most with your characterisation of Genma. I went in a die-hard Neji fan (and still am) and came out with a deep appreciation for Shikamaru and Genma. (That being said, I also really love then way you portray the other characters, especially Hiashi and Ibiki who I really didn't like before.)
Genma's story just... God it has my heartstrings in a death grip. His never-ending jack-assery and dirty jokes and the way Raido sees right through it.
The fact he held onto items important to him and related to the people he loved most...
The way he handled Shikamaru and Asuma and Kurenai's baby while still insisting he doesn't do well with children.
The way he made Kakashi say what he feels near the end of UtS in an ass-backwards way but a way that didn't allow for deception and empty words.
But, I think the moment that made me sob and laugh and feel the most was when he said "You ruined it" - that fucking killed me right then and there.
When I first met Genma in your story I was really sceptical and suspicious of him, thinking he was somehow the bad guy. And then I grew to love him and hurt for him. That was so extremely well done.
I also have to get off my chest that I love, love, love the way you described his drug trips (and Kakashi's little endeavor with medicines) as well as dreams and flashbacks. I find that these things are mostly feelings and oh so confused and confusing that it's hard to put into words but you genuinely excel at it.
I also love the transitions of dreams back to reality. Keyword here being "back". God, nothing hurt me more than reading that word in HHU. I think you know which scene I mean.
I also read through old asks and found out more about Naoki and Karibi. I love these two so much as well. Karibi struck me as very interesting and I'm glad I got to find out how she lived and died. Especially because HHU kind of alluded to her commiting or attempting suicide.
Naoki... My heart hurts for him. This poor, poor man. I'm so fucking glad he didn't have to die alone. He was so strong for Genma though, building him up, putting him on the right path and giving him a verbal slap for being an addict, giving Kakashi and him his blessings eventhough he used to be so possessive and protective of Genma.
His story really is tragically beautiful and incredibly complex. I really wanted him to live but realistically I knew it wasn't going to happen.
How old were Karibi, Naoki and Genma when they joined Team Yokai? When Inoichi saw Genma and Naoki kiss and Genma talks about his Senbon hitting certain nerves (hehe), they're said to be about 17 and I remember it being mentioned that Naoki took a while to "bottom" in bed due to his childhood trauma.
Also can we talk about the Tsubomi poem? That is so *beautiful*. Did it come easy to you or was it hard to write? It fits so incredibly perfectly to Naoki and Ino.
One thing that confuses me about the storyline is the epilogue of Requiem, where Genma has a flashback(?) about Shuken holding Naoki hostage and making him reveal his name. Could you explain to a confused-maybe-stupid-me when that takes place and how Genma and Naoki escape from that situation?
I can't stop gushing about your story so i won't:
Shuken's character is also so well written. When we first meet him in Shikamarus flashbacks, I was also oddly intrigued eventhough I had an idea about what sort of fucked up things he'd done to Shikamaru. You wrote his seductiveness really well. And then he reveals his age and I got *deeply* disturbed and as we learn more I just got more and more disturbed. The progression was so well done, I felt like I was sort of experiencing what Shikamaru was going through. The use of "Shika" sent cold shivers down my spine.
I also really loved your wheels within wheels and walls within walls metaphor for the ANBU. It creates such an amazing mental image that can be played around with so creatively.
Aaa. Okay. I think I got most of my thoughts down so far. I'm sure I'll come back to gush some more, maybe ask some more.
Thank you so much for this amazing story and all the work and hours you put into it. I can't wait to read more from you 💙
My dear @sunlightrays 💙💙 Thank you so much for both your patience with me as I finally secure the time to respond, and of course, for the phenomenal feedback you've given me. As expressed in my private DM. It impacted me immensely...and I am still moved and altered by it -- thank you. I will endeavour in this reply to answer your Qs to the best of my ability, given that I do tend to revert back into a blob of incoherent feels every time I revisit this message...💙
I know the first part of BtB is quite old and your writing has improved a lot since then but all the parts read incredibly seamlessly.
Oh dear lord...that first installment....*cringes* oh the temptation to rewrite it, luv...THE TEMPTATION....(aww, thank you though, I appreciate that you felt it all flowed together).
There's a lot of scenes that stuck in my mind and to my surprise, I resonated most with your characterisation of Genma. [...] Genma's story just... God it has my heartstrings in a death grip. His never-ending jack-assery and dirty jokes and the way Raido sees right through it.
Oh, luv, I do so love writing Genma and his respective relationships, whether platonic or romantic.
Tumblr media
I'm so freaking happy you took a shine to his portrayal in BtB! The feedback you have given me with WHY and WHAT you loved about Genma's portrayal and story was just...I can't even begin to describe how nourishing that was to my writer's soul. If every writer were to receive this kind of feedback, I can see their proverbial cups running over with gratitude and inspiration. Thank you so, so much.
I also love the transitions of dreams back to reality. Keyword here being "back". God, nothing hurt me more than reading that word in HHU. I think you know which scene I mean.
Tumblr media
Ah god damn, but you hit me hard with the love you showed my OCs. Thank you so, so much for that and for sharing what it was that drew you in -- especially with Naoki. 💗💗💗 (Even Shuken, dare I say)
How old were Karibi, Naoki and Genma when they joined Team Yokai?
13 to 14 years old. Naoki joined when he was 13, Karibi and Genma at 14. By the time they were assigned to Team Yokai, they were all 16.
When Inoichi saw Genma and Naoki kiss and Genma talks about his Senbon hitting certain nerves (hehe), they're said to be about 17 and I remember it being mentioned that Naoki took a while to "bottom" in bed due to his childhood trauma.
Correct! They'd have been 17/18 years old at that time. Age 19 is when Naoki tragically accepted Danzo's offer and was listed as KIA after his 'fake death'.
Re: intimacy issues. Right you are. Due to his childhood abuse, Naoki refused to "bottom" for the longest time. It took a hell of a lot for Genma to work through that with him. Karibi helped with this too.
Also can we talk about the Tsubomi poem? That is so *beautiful*. Did it come easy to you or was it hard to write? It fits so incredibly perfectly to Naoki and Ino.
Aww....I'm so touched you felt that way about Naoki's poem for Ino. It's such a tough question to answer. Anything that is deeply personal or painful for the characters always twinges my heartstrings when writing...but for Naoki, his guarded emotions came out in his seldom seen/heard creativity / art, so writing it was easy in the sense that it flowed into my head easily from the character, but it was hard in the sense that it reflected so much of Naoki's pain as well as his love.
One thing that confuses me about the storyline is the epilogue of Requiem, where Genma has a flashback(?) about Shuken holding Naoki hostage and making him reveal his name. Could you explain to a confused-maybe-stupid-me when that takes place and how Genma and Naoki escape from that situation?
Oh my dearest, YOU are in no way the confused-maybe-stupid party in this. In fact, "I" am the idiot who cut a LOT of scenes surrounding Naoki's torture at Shuken's hands and the escape situation *epic facepalm* In hindsight, I would love to go back and edit that by re-writing/editing and INCLUDING those scenes. I can see the holes there from the reader's perspective, and if I hadn't been operating like a runaway train at the time, I'd have slowed down to correct that error.
So, that scene where Genma has the nightmare flashback of Shuken holding Naoki hostage. Let me do a breakdown chronology as it's the easiest way my fucked-up spiderweb mind-map can be translated into a linear sequence....
Tumblr media
Naoki gets stabby-happy with Shuken (plunges that needle into his neck) and fucks up his ROOT mission, but prioritises saving Shikamaru
Naoki needs Genma to "buy him time" while he tries to fix the trauma and everything coming undone in Shikamaru's head
So Genma goes happy-hunting on the Freak Show as Naoki deep dives into Shikamaru's brainpan
(DELETED SCENE) Naoki stablisies Shuken so the natural energy doesn't kill him. Then Naoki deep-dives into Shikamaru's brainpan and meets with some complications because of the natural energy swimming around inside him.
(cont. DELETED SCENE) Naoki tries to stabilise Shikamaru too, but gets interrupted mid-brain-and-body-fix by more Freak Show cross-breeds looking for bossman Shuken. Naoki can't complete what he's doing with Shikamaru and needs more time. He hides Shikamaru and takes out the opponents interrupting him before rushing to assist Genma
He assists Genma lol -- ends up getting injured (takes a nasty blow to his hip, if I recall)
He tells Genma he needs more time with Shikamaru to fix the kid
Genma is too busy freaking out about Naoki stabbing his mark/Shuken in the neck and the consequences of this action
They get interrupted by more Freak Show mutants, which sabotages Naoki's plan to regroup with Shikamaru and use the Nagu blood vial to get them the hell out
Naoki opts to stay behind to distract the Freak Show and give Genma time to get Shikamaru out, so he kisses Genma in a heated moment to shut him up and save time by connecting their minds where he " communicated in seconds what would've taken minutes to put into words; why Tenka had killed those children; where he'd hidden Shikamaru; what he'd tried to do to fix him; the secret route he planned to use to get them out; and lastly, what he was asking Genma to do – no, ordering him to do." -UtS
He tells Genma to get Shikamaru out, basically, even though he hasn't finished 'fixing' the kid. Naoki gets caught (DELETED SCENE)
Genma does as he's ordered, only he can't bring himself to leave Naoki behind again so after crossing through the portal so Shuken can't reach the kid, he hides and secures Shikamaru (DELETED SCENE) and returns to go and help Naoki, letting himself get caught in the process
Naoki in the meantime has been at Shuken's mercy (or lack thereof) and is receiving a traitor's punishment (DELETED SCENE) -- it is at this point that Genma's flashback dream comes into play where Shuken is starting to shown signs of transmogrification due to the natural energy in his system (think Sound Four on steroids) and wants to know Genma's name and where he stashed Shikamaru
(LONG DELETED SCENE) Meanwhile, Kurayami is borne in Shikamaru's consciousness and THAT is the person that wakes up when Shikamaru finally comes to. He secures himself some Nagu blood, re-enters the portal and goes on the hunt for Shuken
(HUGE DELETED SCENE - hinted at in Genma's memories when he's talking to Tsunade) Shikamaru/Kurayami finds Shuken. He goes for Shuken like a heat-seeking missile, taking out mutants as he goes, unintentionally freeing Genma in the process, his shadows bringing chaos. He does damage. A lot of it. But in the last minute Naoki comes between Shuken and Shikamaru and gets Shuken's knife in the back. Shuken is out for the count after that. Naoki, knife in back, prioritises clamping his hands to Shikamaru's head, trying to shut down Kurayami and lock the alter away, as the whole building is coming down.
This was Naoki's last bid effort to try to save Shikamaru's mind by sealing off all the alters, knowing he didn't have time to integrate them.
Shocked Genma snaps into Kaika mode and gets his shit together, scooping up unconscious Shikamaru and running like a mo-fo with Naoki in tow
Naoki can't run any further, he falls and is bleeding out, tells Genma to run one last time and get the kid to safety, reminding him that Shikamaru can't be allowed to remember etc. Makes Genma swear an oath to him.
Though it costs him his heart, Genma does as he's told one final time. And it's too late to go back again after getting Shikamaru to safety at last. He believes Naoki is dead.
Phew! Sorry for that LONG list. I hope it clarifies for you those missing/deleted scenes, sweetie? Sorry again for any confusion. I own that as a big mistake on my part; sadly at the time, the mammoth wordcount and my runaway brain steamrolled ahead. In hindsight, I'd absolutely fix those gaps upon revision.
Aaa. Okay. I think I got most of my thoughts down so far. I'm sure I'll come back to gush some more, maybe ask some more.
You are most welcome to, luv. I am delighted and humbled by your interest and your huge support for my fic. Thank you for your patience with my response and thank you again, so, SO much for such an outstanding response to my insane contribution to the Naruto fandom.
I am grateful beyond measure and meant every single word I wrote you in that DM. I repeatedly revisit this review and I shall for as long as I write. 💗💗💗 Thank you.

@endlessdelirium allow me to answer this question more fully lol.
So, it's possible he naturalized. But in his flashback episode he was introducing himself as "Nicolai Asakura" to his classmates so maybe that was always his name? Did he just change it as he told the story? I'm not sure lol. I'm really not sure why he has a Japanese surname.
The only requirement for a "Japanese name" when you naturalize is that it's in Japanese characters, so his name being ニコラむ in katakana would be allowed. He wouldn't have needed to change his surname to be "Japanese" either.
But the big thing, and probably the reason they used it, is that everyone at Manpuku are named after famous people from the sengoku era.
Sanada Kentarou = Sanada Yukimura
Ishida Naoki = Ishida Mitsunari
Asai Haru = Asai Nagamasa
Kakizaki Makoto = Kakizaki Kageie
Yamanaka Daisuke = Yamanaka Yukimori
Imagawa Tsuyoshi = Imagawa Yoshimoto
Nicolai Asakura = Asakura Yoshikage
Manda Fukuko = Mitsuta Yasutoshi (no English page), Mitsuta has the same kanji (満田) but a different reading.
Ukita Ren = Ukita Hideie
There might be something going on with the Twilight characters as well but it was less easy for me to figure out where their names came from.

ヌ たず、それぞれの自己玹介から始めたいず思いたす。自身の制䜜のスタむルや、今回展瀺する䜜品に぀いお簡単に語っおいただけたすか。
山䞭雪乃以䞋、山䞭山䞭雪乃です。モチヌフや写真、支持䜓ずいったレむダヌず自分の芖点を亀錯させながら、油絵を描いおいたす。いろいろな操䜜や偶然を経お珟れる「存圚」に興味がありたす。よろしくお願いしたす。
米柀柊以䞋、米柀米柀柊です。むンスタレヌションの䜜品を䞭心に制䜜しおいたす。もずもずは広くメディアアヌトを孊び぀぀アニメヌションを䜜っおいたした。映像を䜜るなかで「生きおいる感じ」や「生き物がいる空気感」のようなものに関心が出おきお、䜜品のテヌマにしおいたす。今はアニメヌタヌずしおも掻動しおいたす。よろしくお願いしたす。
添田奈那以䞋、添田添田奈那です。アゞアで売られおいる「チヌプ」なおもちゃや看板、ガラクタをモチヌフに䜜品を制䜜しおいたす。い぀もは平面䜜品を䜜るこずが倚いのですが、今回は陶芞の立䜓䜜品にチャレンゞしおいたす。よろしくお願いしたす。

ヌ みなさん、よろしくお願いしたす。
残された空癜──山䞭雪乃
ヌ では、それぞれの䜜品に぀いお䌺いたいず思いたす。山䞭さんからお願いしたす。
山䞭私は孊郚生の頃から人物画を描いおいたす。ただ、描き方はいろいろ倉わっおきおいたす。 前は手や足をバラバラの䜍眮に配眮した構図で、今よりも写実的描いおいたした。去幎の倏頃に研究を結構しお、抜象性ず具象性がどちらも入いるような状態を䜜るにはどうしたらいいか考えるようになりたした。 最近はさらに倉化しおいお、人間のオヌラずいうか、皮膚よりも倖偎の郚分を図圢っぜく印象的に描いお、それ以倖の䞭栞的な存圚に感じられる目などのパヌツを匷調し、それ以倖の空間は流し たりがかしたりしお、ふわっず印象っぜく描くようになりたした。
ヌ 瞊方向に液䜓が流れ、垂れおいるような衚珟がありたすね。
山䞭筆ず油の動きをそのたたいかしお、重力を感じさせるように描いおいたす。その郚分を際立たせるず、具象性が出おくるんです。描く順番ずしおは、頭の䞊あたりずか、垂らしおいる郚分を最初に䜜っお、それからほかの郚分の圢をずりたす。そうしお、埐々に銎染たせおいくようなむメヌゞですね。
ヌ 空癜のある箇所も印象的です。
山䞭四角圢のキャンバスのなかに人間を配眮するずきにどんな図圢になるかを考えながら、意図的に残しおいたす。先ほどの絵の堎合、右䞊の癜いずころや、巊の瞊長のずころですね。こうしお芋おいただくず、自分でも気が぀かなった圢や芋え方を指摘されるこずがあっお、面癜いなず思っおいたす。

ヌ かの絵に぀いおはどうでしょうか。同じモデルの絵ず、そうでない絵がありたすよね。
山䞭先ほどの絵ずもう1枚は同じモデルを描いおいお、ほかの3枚は自分自身を描いおいたす。今回の私の䜜品矀は、自分から芋た自分ず、自分から芋た他者ずいう察比になっおいるんです。 絵画ずしおは、圱をくっきり描くか描かないか、人間らしく芋えるように描くかそうでないかずいう感じで描き分けおいたす。筆の量も倚いものず少ないものず䞡方を展瀺のなかで芋せたいず考えお、あっさりめに描いお止めた䜜品もあれば、重ために描いた䜜品もありたす。
米柀山䞭さんの䜜品は前に個展でも芋たこずがあっお、そのずきちょっずPhotoshopっぜい印象があったんですよね。油絵なんだけど、自動遞択で抜いた感じがあるずいうか。
山䞭私自身はPhotoshopはたったく䜿えないけど笑、たしかにそういう感芚はあるかもしれないです。絵を描くずき、モデルの方をスマホで撮圱しお、画像を加工するこずがあるんです。そのずきにも背景だけ切りたくなったりするから。

アニメヌションが通り抜けた跡に──米柀柊
─ 米柀さんの䜜品はいかがでしょうか。䞀芋しただけでは、ちょっずわからないですね。
米柀私の䜜品は、薄いビニヌルにはんだごおで図像を焌き付けたもので、アニメヌションが通り抜けたあずの燃えカスをむメヌゞしおいたす。これらの物䜓そのものはアニメヌションではないけれど、そこを通過する空気によっおかたどられお、アニメになるわけです。恐竜の足跡の化石のようなものですかね。 最近参加した『惑星ザムザ』ずいう展瀺でも、アニメヌションの意味を拡匵するような䜜品を出しおいたす。そこでは芖芚情報も聎芚情報もない暗闇のなかで、かたどるこずそのものをアニメずしお提瀺したした。
─ 䜜品ひず぀ひず぀を芋るず、圢がはっきりずわかるものもあれば、そうでないものもありたすね。たた、ビニヌルが重なっおいるものもありたす。
米柀そうですね。圢が厩れお蚘号のようになっおいる段階のものもあるのですが、それも気に入っおいたす。重なっおいるものは、ビニヌルを燃やしたものを重ねおいたす。圢がよく珟れおいる段階からそうでないもの段階たでを重ねるこずで、そこには時間が発生したす。 アニメヌションの䜜画にはこういった構造がありたす。技術甚語で「䞭割り」っお呌ばれるんですけど。
─ 隣のモニタヌはどうですか。
米柀これはアニメヌションがいなくなっおしたったモニタヌᅵᅵすね。もう動くものはいなくっお、ただ癜く光っおいる。この展瀺空間のどこかにはアニメがいるんだけれども、モニタヌの倖に出おしたったずいうむメヌゞです。先ほどの䞭割り的な衚珟ずあわせお、「ない」が「ある」状態を䜜りたいんです。
─ なるほど。アヌティストずしお䜜品を䜜るずきの感芚ず、アニメヌタヌずしおいわゆるアニメヌションを描く、動かすずきの感芚には違いがありたすか。
米柀そうですね。仕事だず挔出の方が絵コンテを枡しおくれお、この子はこういうこずを考えおいお、こういうふうに動きたすず説明がありたす。それから空間のなかをキャラクタヌがどのように動くか脳内でむメヌゞしお、感情移入しながら描いおいきたす。その感芚ず、そこにいるかもしれないアニメヌションを捉えるずいう感芚には近いものがあるかもしれたせん。

─ ありがずうございたす。続いお、添田さんの䜜品に移りたしょうか。
添田私は広くアゞアで売られおいるような「チヌプ」なおもちゃや看板、ガラクタから圱響を受けた䜜品を制䜜しおいたす。ドラえもんやミッキヌの停物みたいな、独特の雰囲気や情ᅵᅵᅵを醞し出す存圚が奜きなんです。 今回はい぀も䜜っおいる平面䜜品ではなく、陶芞による立䜓䜜品を出しおいるんですが、そういった感芚を衚珟したいずいう点では倉わりたせん。
─ 反察に、平面ず立䜓ずでなにか違うずころはありたすか。
添田平面を䜜るずきは「安っぜさ」を目指しお描いおいたのですが、立䜓をやり始めお少し別のこずも考えるようになりたした。ずいうのも、陶芞っおどうしおも高玚感が出る気がするので、それをいかしたいなっお。安っぜいモチヌフは倉わらないけれども、どこか高尚に感じられる衚珟に昇華できるよう意識しおいたす。
─ 題材ずしおは、犬でしょうか。
添田はい。犬っお、もずもずは狌ですよね。でもいたみられる犬皮のなかには、人間の勝手な郜合で品皮改良されたものもいお、耳が立ったりちっちゃくなったり、いろいろ姿を倉えおいたす。今回の䜜品は、そうした倉化の成れの果おにある化け物みたいなものを䜜りたいんです。芋た目はかっこいいし、かわいいんだけど、じ぀はしんどそうみたいな雰囲気を出せるずいいかなず。むンスタレヌションではありたせんが、空間ずしおも味わえるような
yak添田さんの䜜品には芪近感をおがえたす。生たれ育った䞭囜にも停物のおもちゃがたくさんあったし、僕自身の䜜品にもある皮のフェむク感があるからです。
─ 共通点もありそうですね。では、この流れでyak yakさんの䜜品に぀いおも䌺えればず思いたす。

yakyak
─ yak yakさん、お願いしたす。
yak僕が目指しおいるのは、䞀芋ちゃんずしおいるけどよく考えるず幌皚なもの、12歳くらいの子どもが頑匵っお䜜る陰謀論的な䞖界芳なんです。衚珟そのものはサりンドアヌトですが、SNSなどむンタヌネット䞊に挂う音の生物を調査する研究所を蚭立したずいう蚭定で䜜品を制䜜しおいたす。
─ むンタヌネット䞊の音声に関心があるずいうこずでしょうか。
yakはい。近幎、Clubhouseをはじめずする音声SNSが登堎しお、人々は日垞的に自分の声を録音し、むンタヌネットにアップするようになりたしたよね。僕はそれによっお、珟実のサりンドスケヌプずは違った、いわばサむバヌサりンドスケヌプができあがり぀぀あるず考えおいたす。 これたで郜垂のサりンドスケヌプは、音がクリアに聞こえる床合いに応じお「hi-fi」ず「lo-fi」に区別されおきたした。僕はそれに察しお、むンタヌネット䞊のサりンドスケヌプは党お人工的なものでありながら、ある皮のオヌガニックさを感じおいお、そこには「hi-fi」ず「lo-fi」、自然ず文明の二項察立から逞脱する「hyper lo-fi」な音空間があるのではないかず考えおいるんです。 そうしたサむバヌサりンドスケヌプは、人々が日垞的な録音を通じお䜜り䞊げおいるものであり、いわば人類党䜓が音のアヌカむブを䜜り続ける〈録音の共同䜓〉です。
─ そうしたアむデアがあったうえで、今回の䜜品はどのようなものなんでしょうか。
yak僕の䜜品は、そんなデゞタル環境ず珟実の環境の間に、音をコレクトする謎の生き物〈hui〉が暮らしおいるのではないかずいう芋立おから成り立っおいたす。その芋立おのうえで、僕は録音された音声を空間に攟出し続けるこずによっお、〈hui〉を召喚するための環境を敎える装眮〈リゟネヌタヌ〉ず、圌らを召喚する〈emerging〉ために昔から挔奏されおきた特殊なẾmbiiənt音楜を珟圚のテクノロゞヌで再構成する方法を暡玢しおいたす。今回の展瀺は、昔Ếmbiiənt音楜を挔奏する時に䜿われおいた叀代の楜噚の埩元ず再構築を行うものです。
たた、䜜品を䜜るずきのこだわりずしお、埓来のサりンドアヌトでよくみられる物を叩いたり震わせたりしお物理的に音を出す、あるいは䜕か実圚するデヌタを䜿っお音を生成する手法を䜿わず、あくたでも自分があらかじめ䜜った音ず、サンプリング的な凊理しか䜿いたせん。僕は音を物理珟象ずしお捉えるのではなく、音のもᅵᅵフィクション性を捉えお衚珟したいんです。

──次に、䜜品を制䜜するうえで圱響を受けたり、リサヌチしたりしたレファレンスに぀いお聞きたいず思いたす。米柀さんはいかがですか。
米柀アニメを描くきっかけのひず぀ずしお、昔6幎以䞊育おおいた金魚が亡くなっおしたったこずがありたす。なんで死んじゃうんだろう、死なない生き物がそばにいたら結構いいんだけどなず思っお、魚の動きを抜象化しお、泳ぎ続ける䜜品を䜜ったこずもありたす。そういうこずもあっお、氎槜に興味がありたしお  。 それで面癜かったのが、溝井裕䞀『氎族通の文化史──ひず・動物・モノがおりなす魔術的䞖界 』です。これは氎族通ができあがっおいた歎史はもちろん、その空間挔出や眺める人間たちに぀いお、さらには挔出がないころの氎族通の話たで、いろいろ曞かれおいたす。
─ 氎生生物や氎族通そのものだけではなく、氎槜にも関心があるんですかね。
米柀そうですね、私はずっずデゞタルでモニタヌ越しに制䜜をしᅵᅵいるからかもしれたせん。氎槜を芋おいるような感じずいうか。展瀺もディスプレむを䜿ったむンスタレヌションが倚いですし。分厚いモニタヌずかも持っおいお、これはだいぶ氎槜だなあずか。
─ モニタヌず氎槜の぀ながりは興味深いですね。ありがずうございたす。最埌に、yakさんはいかがでしょうか。
yak僕は䞭囜のサりンドアヌティスト「䞭囜声音小组」に圱響を受けたした。圌らは人にバレないようにこっそり呚りの音を録音できる方法を冊子にしおメンバヌに配っお、䞭囜各地の郜垂や蟲村など、いろいろなずころに赎いお実地録音をしお䜜品を制䜜したす。それたで西掋でおこなわれおいたサりンドアヌトやサンドスケヌプの研究は、しばᅵᅵば自然保護的な傟向がありたした。それに察しお、圌らは環境だけではなく、そこに暮らす人々の声などさたざたな音環境に着目し、瀟䌚的な意味ず結び぀けるようなアプロヌチをずっおいたのです。僕はその点に匷く惹かれたした。歎史的に考えるず、実際䞭囜では、西掋が二十䞖玀初頭のむタリア未来掟以来100幎近く繰り返された音に関する思想ず矎孊の革呜の䞭から誕生した音の文化の歎史ずそこから圢成された瀟䌚のサりンド文化のシステムを、わずか十数幎で䜜り出しおいたす。そういった䞭囜の錯乱したカオスな音颚景は、逆にある皮の未来性を持っおいお、それこそ「hyper lo-fi」の予兆的なものも感じられたかもしれたせん 
─ 先ほど䜜品のお話を䌺っおいお、SF的な感芚があるのかなず思いたした。そのあたりはいかがでしょうか。
yakSF的なもので蚀うず、〈宇宙ゞャズ〉ずいうゞャンルのアヌティストで、自らを土星人だず䞻匵するサン・ラに圱響を受けたした。音楜ずフィクションを繋げお考えおいるずころがいいですね。ほかにも、アヌス・りむンドファむアのような、いわゆるアフロ・フュヌチャリズムず呌ばれる黒人の宇宙思想や、そこからKodwo Eshunずいう研究者が〈Sonic Fiction〉ず名付ける方法論にも関心がありたす。二十䞖玀の黒人が䜜った〈Sonic Fiction〉は宇宙を目指すに察しお、むンタヌネット時代のハむプな電子音楜が䜜りだす〈Sonic Fiction〉は軜薄な空想生物やキャラクタヌのむメヌゞだず考えおいるんですが、そういった音楜にも圱響を受けたした ArcaやPC Musicなどはもちろん、象城的な䟋をあげるず、䞊海のsvbkvltレヌベルから33EMYBWずいうアヌティストは、節足動物ずゎヌレムを聎芚䜓隓ず結び぀けお、有機的なサりンドずSF的コンセプチュアルな䜜品を䜜っおお、ずおも面癜かったです

─ それぞれの䜜品やその呚蟺の文脈たで話を䌺うこずができたした。最埌に、改めお今回の展瀺のコンセプトや経緯を聞いおいきたいず思いたす。
山䞭先に経緯から話すず、最初にCON_の運営メンバヌである遠山さんから誘われたずき、倏の終わりに、お化け屋敷のような展瀺がしたいず蚀われたした。私はそれを聞いお、お化け屋敷っぜい芋た目に泚力するのもいいけど、自分たちにずっおの怖さに぀いお考えるのも面癜そうだなず思いたした。最初リモヌトで顔合わせをしたずき、自分の生い立ちに぀いお話し合うこずになっお。私は、䞀人っ子で、小さい頃は䞀人でおたたごずをしおいた蚘憶があるず自己玹介したんですよ。そうしたら、ほかの3人も䞀人っ子ですっお報告しおくれお。添田さんが、私も1人でおたたごずしおいたかもっお、蚀っおくれお嬉しかったこずを芚えおたす。そこから、1人で遊んでいる時の構図自分は楜しくお堪らなくお倢䞭になっおいるけど、他人からみたら䜕をしおるのかよくわからなくお少し気味が悪い感じに芋えるずか、そっちの方向から怖さに぀いお考えおいくこずになっお。
yak䞭囜では、僕ず同い幎から10幎前埌の人たちは、みんな䞀人っ子なんですけどね笑。
山䞭たしかに笑
yakでも、䞀人遊びは奜きでしたね。たずはむンタヌネットがありたすし、もっず小さい頃に遡っおも、父芪が買っおきおくれた海倖のデカいLEGOでひずり海賊船を䜜っおいたした。
添田私は䞀人遊びをしおいるなかで、むマゞナリヌフレンドずいうか、キャラクタヌのようなものが珟れおくる感芚があっお。
山䞭䞀人遊びをしおいるずきの、むマゞナリヌな存圚を信じおいる感芚、そこになにかがいるのは自分にしかわからないけど、でも確かに居るんだよねヌっお感芚が共通しおあるような気がしお。怖さず蚀ったけど、これは他人から芋たら怖いかもしれないけど、自分から芋たら圓たり前で自然に起こっおいるむメヌゞ。それをちょっず面癜がっおいる空気感が衚珟できたらいいなず思いたす。
yak僕の䜜品にも、なにかを召喚したり、そういう儀匏をしたりずいったコンセプトは関係しおいるず思いたす。䜜品そのものが、たさに〈hui〉を召喚する装眮だからです。展瀺ではẾmbiiənt音楜ずいう架空なᅵᅵャンルの音楜を流しおいるんですが、これは〈hui〉を呌ぶためなんですね。もちろん、Ếmbiiənt音楜は珟実のアンビ゚ント音楜を匄っお䜜られた造語なんです アンビ゚ントっお、最初は空枯のような特定な堎所で流れおいたもので、ある意味サりンドスケヌプ・デザむン的なアプロヌチです。アンビ゚ント音楜が珟実の環境のための音楜ずすれば、Ếmbiiənt音楜はむンタヌネット環境〈hui〉のための音楜だなず。 ただ、〈hui〉はそうしおわざわざ召喚される存圚であるず同時に、どこにでもいる存圚でもありたす。いるんだけれども、人間の耳では感知するこずができないんです。圌らのサりンドスケヌプに入っおいくためには、AirPodsが必芁なんですよ笑──ちなみに、2016幎はAirPodsが発売されるず同時に、Apple Musicずいうサヌビスも開始されおいたす、これはサむバヌサりンドスケヌプを考えるうえで重芁な事件だず感じおいたす。
米柀私がアニメヌションやキャラクタヌを描くずきは、儀匏ずいうよりは、yak君が埌半に蚀っおいた「どこにでもいる存圚」に近いかもしれたせん。ただそこにいお、それを掘りᅵᅵこしたり、芳枬したり、スケッチしたりする  そんなむメヌゞですね。 昔䜜った䜜品なんですけど、倧きいディスプレむを囲っお生莄のようにしお、それを2台の定点カメラで捉えおモニタヌに衚瀺したした。アニメを生かす堎所みたいな感じです。そこになにかが生きおいるだけ、それを遠くから芋るだけずいったアンビ゚ント的な状態が奜きなんです。
添田共感したす。商店街にいるような、歯医者の歯のキャラクタヌみたいな、名もなきキャラクタヌが奜きな理由も䌌おいるかもしれたせん。売れるグッズがあるわけでも、PRに䜿えるわけでもなく、明確な意図もない。ただなんずなくそこにいる。それが愛おしいず感じるんです。
山䞭そうしお話しおいるうちに、䞀人遊びっおいうワヌドはやっぱりいいから「play」ずいう単語はいれたいなず。そしお、もずもずのお化け屋敷的な芁玠はもう少し薄めお、自然ずなにかがそこにいるような感じにしお「play A」。
米柀Aはaloneかもしれないし、animeずかanimaかもしれない、apparition幻圱や幜霊ずいう蚀葉もありたす。぀なげるずplaya雚期の間氎がたたる、米囜西郚にみられる沈泥平野ずいう別の単語にもなる。鑑賞をする方には、いろいろな意味を芋出しおもらえたらず思いたす。
─ 展瀺のコンセプトからタむトルに蟌められたニュアンスたで䌺うこずができたした。今日はここで終わりたいず思いたす。ありがずうございたした。
䞀同ありがずうございたした。

I watched EP1 of Eternal Boys and ranked each member as an expert of Hot Old Men
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
In conclusion: Unless middle-aged is a mistranslation of the description or means a younger age group in Japan than America, the creators of this show do not know what middle-aged is and I am offended as president of the Old Man Lovers Club

I know it’s on the article I linked to, but I wanted to put a close up of these guys and their info
Tumblr media
Kentarō Sanada, a 40-year-old former salaryman whose company suddenly went bankrupt
Tumblr media
Naoki Ishida, a 39-year-old former junior high school teacher
Tumblr media
Haru Asai, a 35-year-old former soccer player
Tumblr media
Tsuyoshi Imagawa, a 37-year-old former child actor who became an enka singer
Tumblr media
Daisuke Yamanaka, a 45-year-old former head of management at the Manpuku Geinō Production talent agency
Tumblr media
Makoto Kakizaki, the 41-year-old former no.1 cabaret club host
Going to be honest with you guys I’m rather salty about their designs. We finally get thrown a bone for ossans and we still get denied. This is a rather frequent problem with ojisan characters in anime, manga and japanese games. The ages of the characters just make it so disappointing. Oddly enough I bet good money other older male characters will show up in the show and look it. 
In this case they’re trying to sell the middle aged part, but failed it in terms of trying to apply to the idol part and everything that comes with it. 
But with that being said I’ll still be watching and making content for it

I love your ocs! They are always so creative 🫣🫣 how do you crate ocs so well! what is team kenshi past?
excuse my English, it not my first language
Thank you! The secret is to become obsessed with creating OCs at some point in life and then letting it consume you. Or also look up some fashion references and work with color combinations, that does wonders too~
Miyu is a very talented Hyuuga who grew up trying to please those around her, until she starts to understand how her clan works and realizes she doesn't agree with that system. Naoki was born with a special Yamanaka power, he can read the hearts of people, but is not so good with the other clan jutsus, so he's treated like (and for years believes to be) a failure. Kaen is from outside the village and was found by chance and taken to be trained because of her rare powers, she learns that she needs to always be the best and will fight anyone to prove it. The 3 of them become genin a few months earlier than the rest of their class, with Kenshi as their sensei.
