19 extra larges,
No sense lettin' all this go to waste,
So then I faced
Pizza all day, and everyday, there's cheese round the clock,
It's gettin' me blocked, And I sure don't care the irregularity.
Why'd you have to go and make me so constipated
Cause right now I'd do anything to just get my bowels evacuated,
In the bathroom.
I sit and I wait and I strain and I sweat and I clench and I feel the pain
Oh, should I take laxatives or have my colon irrigated.
No, no, no.
承前。

他の人がつくったまとめを読むのが好きなので、俺もならって書く。
※ 2025年に読んだ上位10冊だと、必ずしも2025年（もしくは前年末）に出版されたものに限らない。極端な例として、英文学の傑作とされる『闇の奥』とか出てくる。1902年版。
そこで、1年以内に刊行されたものだけでも10冊以上になるようにした。＋αはその意。
様々な動物のコミュニケーションをサンプルに、「動物は言葉をしゃべっているのか？」を考察するノンフィクション。最後は、「そもそも言葉とは何か？」というところまでテーマは広がっていく。
まず、動物とその言葉の関係を評価するスタンスは、大きく分けて二つあると思う。一つは、動物は人間と同じような言語の概念を持ち、それを各自の鳴き声で表現している、という立場。もう一つは、動物における言語の概念は人間とはまったく異なる、という立場だ。
前者の場合、人と動物の言葉の違いは、極端に言えば日本語と英語の違いと同じものでしかない。つまり、翻訳も可能ということになる。
例えば、『クジラと話す方法』という本はこの立場に立って、クジラの歌声を大量に収集し、どういう状況で発された音であるかを分析すれば、統計的にクジラ語の辞書をつくれる…だけではなく、これをモデルとして逆にこちらから音波を発信することで、人間からクジラに語りかけることもできるようになる、という発想を語っている。
これと比べた場合、『まじめに〜』は後者の側に入っていて、人間と動物の間には言語同士以上の開きが存在する（＝翻訳不可）、という立場に立っている。ロマンチックとは言えないが、これはこれで、動物の知性を人の方に寄せることなく理解しようとする敬意の表れがあっていい。
この本の作者が信頼できるのは、動物に言葉があるとして、それは絶対に字面以上の意味を含みうること、それゆえに特定の単語や文章に落とし込むのは困難だと強調するところだ。
例えば、群れを支配するリーダーが異性に対し、あるメッセージを発する。状況から推測して、それは人間の「あなたが好きだ。一緒にいたい」に該当する可能性が高い、とする。
しかし、それが人間とは別種の生態系を持つ動物が発するものと考えると、そこには親愛だけでなく、支配を目的とする攻撃性や、ライバルの同性への誇示を含みうる（極論、人間でもそうなんだけど。）。
そう考えたとき、それを人間の辞書で何かの言葉に頑張って置き換えることに、どれほどの意味があるのか？ 我々にできるのは、鳴き声に込められたニュアンスをどうにか類推することであり、人間語に表すことはできないのではないか？ というのが『まじめに～』のスタンス。こうした疑問が、生物のノンフィクションであると同時に、言語哲学のようで面白かった。『クジラと〜』とあわせて読むと、ロマンとリアリズムを一緒に摂取できる。
国内で話題になった「忍者グマ」、OSO18を追ったドキュメンタリー。
OSO18をめぐる作品は他にも読んだけど、俺はこの本が面白かった。それは、俺がOSO18の報道というのはクマ自体の話だけでなく、世間がそれを都市伝説的に楽しみ、駆除に反対する「動物愛護」を冷笑し、なんとOSO18は最後はジビエ肉になって卸されてしまいました、というブラックなオチまでエンジョイするという、「良質なコンテンツ」は骨までしゃぶろうとする人たちの現象でもあると思っていて、この本にも同じような批評的な視点があると感じたから。
もちろん追跡の記録もしっかりしているし、動物研究のプロフェッショナルへの取材もすごくいい。恐ろしいという印象がどうしても勝るけど、あるインタビューに出てきた「OSO18は賢くて、（あくまで野生動物としての基準で）とてもいいクマだと思う」という意見には、なるほど～、と思った。
ちなみに、二人体制で書かれており、OSO18に対する両者のスタンスは必ずしも同じではない。そのズレが、最後はいいかたちで表れていて、まず一人目の見解に考えさせられたあとに、次の筆者のパートでかなりひやっとくることが書いてあり、これも面白かった。
生物学のフィールド調査＋民間信仰の採話という形式によるモキュメンタリーホラー。
2025年は、少しきつい言い方をすると、似たようなベクトルのホラーが「量産」された印象がある。ありていに言えば、大ヒットした『近畿地方の〜』ライクな作品が世間から期待されていたんだと思う。
俺も『近畿地方の～』がすごく面白かったので、他の作品も何冊か手にとってみたのだが、アイデア一発勝負をどうにか膨らませた感が強かったり、たくさんの情報をつなぐことに終始してストーリーとしては全然興奮できなかったりして、やっぱり『近畿地方〜』すげえな、という結論になった。
その中で、『堕ちた儀式の記録』はとてもよくできていたと思う。フィールドノートの章と散文調の章の使い分けが、ギミックとして巧みに機能していて、物語としてシンプルに先を読みたいと感じさせてくれたし、「考察」を楽しむことができた。
余談だけど、マジで2024～2025は同じタイプのホラーが本屋でひしめくことになっていて、選ぶのに苦労した。たくさん読んだ人の忖度抜きのランキングとかめっちゃ需要あると思う。
コロンビアに暮らす、とある血縁者たちに発生する若年性アルツハイマーに関するドキュメンタリー。2025年に読んだ本第1位。
この手の類の本が好きな人は、タイトルから別の本を想起するのではないかと思う。2022年に早川から刊行され、 （俺の観測した範囲でだけど）話題になっていた『統合失調症の一族』だ。
正直に言って、いわゆる二番煎じだと思いつつ読み始めた。しかし、血のつながりに起因する病をめぐって描かれた、医療の確立をめぐる尽力、フィールドワークの苦労、それぞれの家族の物語は、本当に深くて面白かった。
現代のコロンビアはギャングや過激派の悪影響が深刻で、それに加えて、いわゆる黒魔術的な頑迷な信仰の存在感も強く、多くの要素が医療の推進を阻害する。こうした環境で病人の発生した家庭を回り、治療のためのネットワーク構築に奔走した医療従事者の熱意と人柄はすごすぎる。到底マネできない。
暴力が蔓延し、インフラも貧弱な土地で、40～50代でアルツハイマーを発症した人たちは次第に会話が成り立たなくなっていき、汚物にまみれてぼろきれのように死んでいく。人間という存在に根本的にたいした意味がないということが、繰り返し描かれる。
その一方で、患者になった家族を支えるというかたちで、途方もない忍耐と強さ、なにより明るさを発揮する者がいることも、同時に描写される。治療法がなかなか確立されず、悲観的な事実ばかりが積み重なる中で、少しでも患者（予備軍）を鼓舞しようとするスタッフや、自分もいつか発症するかもしれないという恐怖と向き合いながら人生を切り拓こうとする血縁者の努力が描かれる。
読んでいて視点が二つに分かれていく感じがあった。シニカルになる余裕さえない、徹底的に乾いた虚無感と、人間の強さに打たれる感覚とが同時にあって、なかなかすごい読書体験だった。
二つ付記。
一つ目。上で書いたとおり、土着の宗教が障害になっているケースがあるが、＝「宗教は科学の敵だ」とは限らない点にも注意がいると思っている。
これは別の本で提唱されている概念だが「WEIRD＝Western Educated Industrial Rich Democratic」という、日本を含む先進国が大きく影響され、多大な恩恵を受けた「科学的とは、発展とはこういうことである」という価値観があり、これを強力に世界中に敷衍したものこそキリスト教である、という説があるからだ。
一方で、『闇の奥』でも示されているとおり、西洋の進出は別の土地にとっては侵略の歴史でもある（未読だけど、『インディアスの破壊についての簡潔な報告』も同様だろう）。だいぶ話がズレる＆ありがちなまとめになってしまうけど、「批判されているあるものには、こういう側面がある」というおさえ方と、搾取や暴力を基準に善悪の絶対の線を引くことの両方が必要なんだと思う。
二つ目。本書で紹介されている医療活動は、あくまで「コロンビアで」「アルツハイマー発症の機序の一部」をターゲットにしたものである。
言い換えると、他の場所で別のメカニズムから病気を攻略しようとしているチームもある。そこにはスポンサーや世間の関心をめぐる科学者同士の競争が発生し、企画を指揮する科学者にはプロデューサーとしての手腕も問われることになる。本書の解説を書いたライターの『がん征服』は、がん治療の驚くようなアプローチをいくつも紹介しつつ、その辺の内情もうかがえる良書だった。あわせて紹介しておく。
2025年に読んだ本の中で最恐。
これは挙げるかどうか悩んだ。ちょっと古い本というのもあるが、それより、ほぼ確実にほとんどの人に刺さらないから。ホラー好きでさえハマるか不明。単に俺が面白かっただけ。
うまく説明できる自信がないが、ホラーの一番の弱点は何かと考えたときに、「それは相手を怖がらせようとしていること」というところに落ち着く気がする。ホラーの大きな目的が、ホラーとして提供されるがゆえに邪魔されているというか。結局、誰かが死んだとか不幸になったとか、こっちを嫌な気持ちにさせたいんだよね？ という。
自分で好んで読んでおいてなんだが、心のどこかでそういうことを思ってしまう。ホラーなんだからそりゃそうで、どうしようもない…のだが、『幽霊物件案内』は、その弱点がない。ものすごく巧みにそこを避けているのか、書かれているネタと書いている本人のどっちか（もしくは両方）が根本的に何かおかしいのか、とにかく何をしたいのか描きたいのかよくわらないまま、ひたすら猛烈に不穏なことが延々と書かれている。
どういう人に薦めたらいいのか考えたが、例えば2chの洒落怖にあった、『まったく意味がわかりません（バスの事故？ に関すると思われる書き込み）』とかが近い気がする。あれが楽しめる？ ならハマるかも。ただ、『幽霊物件案内』は文章自体はちゃんと成立しているため、かえってよっぽど異常な気がする。
以上。2025年はだいたい70冊ぐらい本を読んだ。来年は100冊を目指したい。本屋に行くたびに読みたい（そして読めない）本が増えていく！

だからサンプル数が小さかったり、文化圏が違ったり個人差があると再現できないこともある。
また、「Science Fictions あなたが知らない科学の真実」という本でも再現性の危機は指摘されている。
ただこれで「心理学はすべて信頼できない」となるのは早計だと思う。
しかし現状は「西洋の教育を受けた産業社会の裕福で民主主義国家の人間」の心理学になっている（WEIRD問題）。
The fact that we got multiple fairly high-res videos of the bullet hitting his neck and blood gushing out does make a difference. The news gets shared more and more people engage with the news out of shock value and morbid fascination, which gives it more traction.
Had Paul Pelosi been shot while several cameras were filming it, it would have also become much bigger than it became.
Edit: lol the comments really bring the average redditor reading comprehension out on display. People really seem to think I'm saying that Republicans are lovely defenders of free speech or something to that effect. It's fucking weird.
The video elevates it quite a bit.
I remember Ray Rice (nfl player) domestic assault came out. Some criticism, couple game suspension.
Then the video came out. Public outcry. Full season suspension. Cut from his team.
There was no new info in the video. But seeing something happen changes perception.
Edit: for the record I don't agree with Kirk's ideology and am not defending ambivalence on other killings. I just think it hits different.
There is an epidemic of people misunderstanding what hit points are and why you gain them. This rant/explanation is fueled by an argument I had with one of my players and too many comments on DnD streams where people misunderstand HP. The only part of your HP that determines how much damage you can physically withstand is the Con modifier you add, the rolled HP is combat experience, luck and mental fortitude. Let me explain.
A lvl 20 Goliath Barbarian at full heath gets stabbed in the head with with a simple 1d6 sword. That Goliath is dead, gaining HP isn’t becoming tough enough to survive a sword to your goddamn cranium, it’s gaining enough combat experience that you’re able to avoid the deadly blow and instead only suffer a cut in your arm.
This is the entire concept of sneak attack and critical hits. The rogue isn’t suddenly hitting you harder than normal, they’re slipping past your defenses to deal the realistic damage of you getting stabbed in the kidney. When you crit you aren’t hitting harder than you were before you’re landing a solid hit that your opponent is having a harder time avoiding.
This is why your rolled HP is dependent on your class and not your race, and why martial classes have the highest hit die. A knife in the gut is a much more dangerous when you’re a gnome than when you’re a Goliath unless the gnome is a fighter and the Goliath is a wizard. One has much more combat experience than the other and is able to avoid the deadlier hit.
Edit: again this is also why you heal to full HP after a long rest. You aren’t magically healing hundreds of cuts on your body, you’re becoming rested enough that you’re able to avoid that dagger to your neck.
Edit 2: I avoid taking about spells because magic is fucking weird.
Also poison damage. It’s about how much poison/venom is actually able to get into your system before you’re able to pull back and avoid it.
Hey everyone. I don't know where else to post this. I need to write it down before I convince myself I was just hallucinating. I’m a grad student in Japan, doing fieldwork on forgotten local folklore. That's why I was out in the absolute middle of nowhere in Gunma prefecture last night.
My plan was to visit a tiny, dying village called Yomi-touge (not its real name) that supposedly has some unique traditions. Of course, my phone lost signal hours ago, and my car's GPS, which I bought in 2015, decided to have a total meltdown. The sun went down. The mountain roads are narrow and winding, and a thick, soupy fog started to roll in. The kind of wet, heavy air that makes you feel like you’re breathing water. I was completely, hopelessly lost.
After what felt like an eternity of driving at a crawl, I saw it. A light. A single, brutally bright rectangle of light cutting through the fog. A convenience store. One of those big chains you see everywhere, a FamilyMart or a Lawson, I couldn't tell which at first. I’ve never felt so relieved in my life. I parked the car and practically ran inside, the little door chime sounding way too loud in the dead silence.
The inside was… normal. Too normal. The lights were humming with a high-pitched buzz that drilled into my skull. The shelves were perfectly stocked. The air smelled of cheap air freshener and something else… something sweet and hot, like ozone or burnt sugar.
He was a young guy, maybe my age. Pale, drenched in sweat, with dark circles under his eyes like bruises. He moved with a painful stiffness, like every joint was rusted. He muttered a "Irasshaimase…" without even looking at me, his eyes fixed on the counter. His arms were covered in these intricate, dark tattoos, winding from his wrists up under his sleeves. I figured he was just sick, or on a rough shift. I felt bad for him.
I grabbed a can of coffee and went to the counter. "Sorry to bother you," I started in Japanese, "I'm pretty lost. Could you tell me where I am?"
He looked up, and his eyes didn't seem to focus on me. It was like he was looking at a screen a few inches in front of my face. "We do not provide directional information," he said, his voice a flat, rehearsed monotone. "Will that be all for you?"
Okay, weird, but whatever. Maybe it's store policy. As he reached for my coffee, his sleeve slid up. The tattoos on his arm… they weren’t just pictures. For a split second, I swear to God, the lines of ink shifted. They writhed, like tiny black worms under his skin, and a patch of his forearm glowed with a faint, sickly red light. He flinched, a sharp intake of breath, and quickly pulled his sleeve down.
I just froze. I couldn’t have seen that, right? I was tired, my eyes were playing tricks on me.
The person who walked in… I don’t know how to describe them. It was a man, I think. He was tall and wore an old, soaked trench coat. But his face… it was like my brain refused to process it. It wasn't that he had no face, it was that my eyes would slide right off it. It was a blur, a glitch, a 404 error in human form.
The clerk didn't seem surprised. He didn't even seem to see him as strange. His posture just became even more rigid. The red glow on his arm pulsed again, brighter this time, visible through his sleeve.
The faceless man didn't speak. He just stood there. The clerk, without a word, turned. But he didn't go to the coolers. He kept his back to the man, and held out his left hand, palm up. I heard a soft, wet, squelching sound. From a small, dark slit in the center of his palm that I hadn't noticed before, a small carton of strawberry milk, the kind you give to kids, just… emerged. It was produced out of his hand. It was wet with a clear, viscous fluid.
He placed it on the counter. "Here is the requested product," the clerk said, his voice straining. "The transaction is complete."
The faceless man picked up the strawberry milk. He put it in his coat pocket. And then he just… faded. He didn’t walk out the door. He dissolved into the humming air, like heat haze. A second later, he was gone.
The clerk let out a long, shuddering breath and swayed on his feet. He leaned heavily on the counter, his face sheet-white. He looked utterly, existentially exhausted. He saw me staring, my mouth hanging open, the can of coffee still in my hand.
For the first time, a flicker of something real, something human, crossed his face. It was pure, undiluted terror.
"You… are not a regular customer," he whispered, his voice trembling. "Your… concept is too stable. Please. Leave."
I didn't need to be told twice. I threw a 500 yen coin on the counter and ran out of there so fast I think I broke the sound barrier. I didn't even take my coffee. I just got in my car and drove, I don't know in which direction, I just drove.
I'm at a service station now, about 100km away. The sun is coming up. I can't stop shaking. It wasn't a dream. I know it wasn't. Because when I was fumbling for my keys, I realized I had accidentally grabbed the receipt from the counter.
It’s not for my coffee. It’s for the other transaction. It just has one item listed. It doesn't say "Strawberry Milk." It says:
ITEM: CONCEPTUAL SALVATION (FLAVOR: CHILDHOOD NOSTALGIA) - 1 UNIT
PRICE: ¥0
METHOD: ANNULMENT
Has anyone seen a store like this? What the hell is happening in the mountains of Gunma? What did I see? And God, that poor kid working the counter. He isn't in trouble. He's a part of it. He's the machine.
So, the Expo 2025 is actually happening, like, right now. It started a week ago. They've got this massive wooden ring structure that's apparently the biggest in the world or something. Looks kind of cool in the pictures, I guess, like something out of an old temple but huge.
The theme is "Designing Future Society for Our Lives". Sounds ambitious. Lots of talk about saving lives, empowering lives, connecting lives... all that jazz. They want it to be a "People's Living Lab" where they show off new tech for things like carbon neutrality and next-gen mobility. Over 160 countries are supposed to be there, showing off their ideas for the future.
But honestly? I keep reading about problems. Heard the test runs had massive lines, which sounds like a nightmare, especially worrying about heatstroke in summer. Ticket sales seemed slow before it opened, with lots of companies buying them up instead of regular people. Makes you wonder how excited the average person really is. Plus, the costs ballooned, almost double what they first thought.
And apparently, they plan to tear most of it down afterwards? Seems like a huge amount of effort and money for something temporary. Though they say they'll reuse materials. Still, feels a bit weird.
Will it actually be good? Or just another big, expensive event that causes traffic jams? Guess we'll see. Just feels like there's not much buzz compared to the last time Osaka had an Expo way back when.

そうそう、トランプ本人やその支持者なんかは、増田にポチポチ書き込みを行っているような、メガネをかけた細腕の青白いweirdなんて、looserにしか思わず眼中にない感じよな
ゴリマッチョで筋肉逞しく、片手にはドラムマシンガン、片手にはワイフを抱いて、オープンカーに音楽はYMCA、白い歯を見せながらHAHAHAと笑う、そんなのが理想
他増田が書いてるように学校でチー牛をいじる時に使うような言葉やからトランプ支持者みたいな属性に刺さるのと
あとはこれまで「ファシスト」「差別主義者」「悪」みたいな強い言葉を使いすぎてて、それらは正しいにもかかわらず嫌いな人に貼るレッテルとしてしか受け止められなくなってたところに
"weird"という控え目な言葉が逆に対立陣営に再現なく変なあだ名付けて攻撃するようなトランプ陣営のおかしさを浮かび上がらせてる
みたいな感じのことが書いてるやで
日本でも「ヒトラーの再来」「民主主義の破壊者」みたいな漠然と大きな批判が全然刺さらんと卑近なスキャンダルからつけられたあだ名の方が効くのと一緒やな
Everyone been wondering why Yonezu (last name) Kenshi (first name) is wearing the heeled shoes. In one of his interviews he said that once he dreamed a funeral. Everyone was sad, but suddenly someone in the first line started to whistle loudly, in a way that annoyed the other people. They all started to say that he wasn't respecting the dead person because he wasn't being in silence for him, but Kenshi knew that the man whistling was communicating with the dead one. That was their own unique way to recognize each other. Maybe the others will think you're crazy or something negative, but it won't change the love that the whistling man has for his dead friend. Turns out that Kenshi got inspired by this dream so in the sing he wore heeled shoes, because he wants to let us know that he doesn't care what others say, it's his special way to express himself, because Kenshi was affected by High-functioning Autism which brought him to be smarter than the average, but he couldn't handle with social relationships, that's why he never had many friends since a young age and everyone made fun of him because of his character.
米津（姓）ケンシ（名）がなぜヒールの靴を履いているのか、誰もが不思議に思っていることだろう。
彼はあるインタビューで、葬式の夢を見たことがあると言っていた。みんな悲しんでいたのに、突然一列目の誰かが、他の人たちを困らせるような大きな口笛を吹き始めた。
彼らは皆、口笛を吹いているのは死者に敬意を払っていない、死者のために黙っているのではない、と言い始めた。それが彼ら独自の認識方法だったのだ。
もしかしたら、他の人からは頭がおかしいとか否定的な見方をされるかもしれないが、口笛を吹いている男が死んだ友人を愛していることに変わりはない。
というのも、ケンシは高機能自閉症の影響を受けていて、平均よりも頭がいいのだが、社会的な人間関係をうまくこなすことができなかった。
This made Kenshi very sad and from then on he started to hate himself because of his very uncommon name (in Japan there aren't many people that have Yonezu as last name and no one, but Yonezu Kenshi, is called Kenshi or the spelling is similar, plus it sounds like a stage name as well) he thought he was strange and weird, an uncommon person who shouldn't have existed (in fact in Japan there is a very strong will to follow the mass, which means if the greater part of girls have bangs, then the girls without bangs will try to have them or if they remain what they are, they might be isolated because different from the rest of the population). But Kenshi to make us, his fans, satisfied, he decided to collaborate with many people in the 2017 like the animators for MHA, DAOKO and Suda Masaki.
このことがケンシをとても悲しくさせ、それ以来ケンシは自分の名前の珍しさ（日本では米津を名字に持つ人は少ないし、米津ケンシ以外はケンシと呼ばないし、スペルも似ていない、 存在しないはずの珍しい人（実際、日本では大衆に従おうとする意志が非常に強い。つまり、前髪のある女の子が多ければ、前髪のない女の子も前髪を作ろうとするし、前髪のないままだと、他の人とは違うという理由で孤立するかもしれない）。しかし、ケンシは私たちファンを満足させるために、MHAのアニメーターやDAOKO、菅田将暉など、2017年に活躍した多くの人々とのコラボレーションを決めた。
He changed during his musical career, like the time he was still Hachi (ハチ) and he felt somehow lost in all of his fame, so he made this song wearing heeled shoes and then the next song, Flamingo, is very different from Lemon because many people started to listen and to know him after Lemon, but he wanted to know what they would think if Kenshi changed the rhythm and the kind, turns out that many of them were attracted by Lemon and they didn't like Flamingo, but they still subbed to Kenshi's YouTube channel. Thank you for reading all of this, English isn't my mother language so I'm sorry for the mistakes and as always, have a nice day :D
彼は音楽活動の中で変わっていった。例えば、彼がまだハチだった頃、有名になることにどこか迷いを感じて、ヒールのある靴を履いてこの曲を作った、 というのも、多くの人がLemonの後にKenshiを聴き始め、知るようになったからだ。しかし、彼はKenshiがリズムや種類を変えたらどう思うかを知りたかった。英語は母国語ではないので、間違いがあってごめんなさい。
Edit: You can find a video summary of Yonezu Kenshi's life and all of his interviews, it's in Mandarin tho. I hope you have a good translator to understand what he's saying.
米津建志の人生とインタビューの要約ビデオを見ることができます。彼が何を言っているのか理解するために、良い翻訳者がいることを願う。
The problem is that, like Don Quixote, in front of people who are not tolerant of his dreams, the problem is not that he is a "knight" who just "assumes" himself, but that he is "a knight" even though he is not really a knight. You should know that you are acting.''
問題はドン・キホーテのように、みずからの夢に寛大ではない人々の前で、ただ「思いこんでいる」というだけの「騎士」ぶりではなく、じぶんさほんとうは騎士ではないのに「騎士を演じているのだ」ということを知っておけということである。
Life is a game anyway, and even if you only accept the facts as facts, time passes in the blink of an eye.
If you don't have the imagination to see a windmill as a giant, it's not interesting or weird. Rather than just being a middle-aged naive person who is obsessed with that dream and stubbornly affirms himself, I would like to have the leeway to say, ``I'm just having a little fun.''
We live in a society where the greatest enemy of facts is truth.
どうせ、生きることはゲームであり、事実を事実としてだけ受け入れていても、あっというまに月日は流れる。
風車を巨人に見たてる位の想像力でもなければおもしろくもおかしくもない。ただその夢の虜になって、頑なに自己肯定する中年の世間知らずであるよりは、「ちょっとプレイしているのさ」とうそぶく余裕がほしい。
原文
Japan review it's been a year since I
moved to Japan and I thought it made
sense to finally rate Japan I will talk
about things I like and the things I
don't like which seems to be the only
two options available if you have
so sugoi or did you know Japan is
actually really bad it's got a lot of
survival issues okay I will list one
good thing and bad thing and I will not
hold back there's no trash bins
I have to put in my pocket
oh
there's always these generic things that
you hear or yes when we you visit it's
kind of weird but then you realize it's
not a big deal anyway let's start off
with number one reason I like Japan
it feels like a giant playground no I
don't mean in the Logan Paul kind of
sense of doing whatever the hell you
want
but rather there's a infinite things all
right lazy feels like to explore and
experience and I've been here a year now
and I don't think I'm gonna get bored
anytime soon although I am having a
child so I don't know how much more I
but it really feels like a whole new
world and if you visited you can
probably relate to it and I'm glad that
even a year in it still feels incredibly
fresh and I even would say that you
realize that the best part of Japan
aren't the touristy places kind of
obviously but there are so many areas
that I found that I really enjoy
visiting and this is probably more
specific to me but you know Tokyo is
very busy and so many times I just catch
myself surrounded by what feels like
hundreds of people and they have no idea
everyone is just doing their own thing
now once it was staring at me no one's
following me no one's being weird you
guys are weird and I'm just kidding I
just love the feeling of being able to
exist in public and uh not worrying
about what everyone else is doing like
I've said this before but I genuinely
enjoy talking to fans or when people
approach me it always makes me happy but
it can be kind of frustrating to always
wanting to just do your own thing and
always be
you know so yeah let's move on to the
bad things of Japan number one reason
Japan is bad it's kind of a heavy
subject and I haven't seen anyone else
really talk about it it's not brought up
very often at least and that is cones
there's too many cones in Japan once you
see it you cannot unsee it they're
everywhere they say oh Japan has so many
vending machines there's like five per
there's more cones than people why are
there so many cones I need to know we
got the tall ones we got the small ones
we got the funny ones the cute ones the
sexy ones I do like those I just don't
understand that whoever plays these
cones think I'm just gonna barge through
oh thank God there's cones here
otherwise I had no idea what I was gonna
and I realized the cone history of Japan
stretches centuries okay if you played
Animal Crossing sometimes it's a
Japanese game so sometimes you get these
items right you're like oh that's kind
of weird I don't know exactly what that
is but it's probably something Japanese
and then you get the bamboo thing and
you're like what the hell is that what
am I even gonna do with that and then
you see it in real life here in Japan
you're like holy [ __ ] it's a cone that's
I feel like they are following me
I'm glad I was able to talk about this
I'm for one and willing to call out
Japan knock it off man no more cones
there's enough cones let me tell you
something even better than cones you may
have noticed new merch finally it's been
forever my mom came over she had
unofficial merge because I literally
have no other merch I've hadn't hadn't
merch I'm sorry Mom so we spruced up the
logo got a cool back design the team
that worked on it really truly
understand how my brand and I think they
did such a good job these pieces look
amazing and I think you guys are gonna

sure you order now so excited to finally

amaze for making this happen we are
gonna have one piece that will stay on

off-white kind of color it looks really
nice and then after that you can still
get it but not in this color that's
you want this one yeah I get it
so yeah check that out if you're
interested I'm so happy about these
designs and I hope you guys would like
them as well all right reason number two
I like Japan yay when we first announced
that we were gonna move to Japan there
was so many people just saying how bad
Japan is actually did you know Japan is
really bad did you know this I have to
list all these reasons now because
everyone is like thing and then thing
Japan ah so I have to tell them and I
it's actually but one thing in
particular that people said was that old
people really don't like foreigners they
hate them so when I was gonna stop by to
say hi to our neighbors who was a little
older at least some of them I was
terrifying I heard all these stories you
know like what are they gonna do to us
so I had my guard up ready for the worst
and I was met with nothing but kindness
and welcoming and I felt like a total
dick for having this preconceived ideas
and just a side comment like yes there
are definitely probably people that
don't like foreigners and all that stuff
but I realized I should let my own
experience is dictate how I feel about
certain things maybe that's just
ignoring a problem I don't know it just
feels like it's a bad way to approach
life if you always have a negative
expectation you know it's smiling people
smiled back
thank you sometimes they don't and
that's okay you know anyway my point
being Japanese people are very in my own
experience
are very nice and friendly the majority
at least and yes even to foreigners I
feel like they are especially nice to
foreigners because they think we're like
a kid lost at Disneyland or something
I just asked for directions I didn't
need you to walk me for half an hour to
this specific place I was going but
thank you I appreciate it a lot of times
I go bouldering alone and there's always
other groups of people being supportive
and yelling like I'm about there like go
you can do it I love it I think it's
great you know or if you're small
talking with people people generally
want to communicate with you and I love
having those moments but of course
there's times where people are like oh
you're a foreigner I don't feel like
even trying
which again it's fine speaking of which
reason I don't like Japan number two
their language
I have lived here for a year and I'm not
fluent in Japanese
I am dumb I am very dumb I remember the
moment we moved here I had studied some
Let's test out this knowledge that I
have acquired let's go I'm just gonna
come in it's gonna be dangerous and you
enter a store for the first time and
they're like
what
what oh
what the classic the most common
experiences that you have aren't
necessarily what you're taught in the
textbook yay I know I think that's the
same for anyone learning a language for
the first time but don't even get me
started on the kanji main what the [ __ ]
is this I feel like Japanese is such a
hard language obviously but I don't
think people realize how hard it is at
least me personally because the more you
learn the more you realize you don't
know [ __ ]
for English speakers Japanese is
considered one of the most difficult
languages and because it's just so
different I listed it as bad because
that was my first kind of experience
with it coming here but the more I
interact with people the more it feels
like I'm unlocking new skills you know
oh I made a phone call for the first
time oh I could ask someone over the
phone I know big deal but it's like oh I
can actually do that or even just having
a small tiny yes shittiest conversation
with a stranger it's still something and
it feels good you start to all of a
sudden understand you know a movie if
you're watching oh I understand actually
what's going on here or I can play games
and kind of get what this they're saying
I have to look up words obviously but to
me all those new experiences that it
unlocks to me is very rewarding even
though it's such a challenge I would
actually now say it's a good thing I
played it on its head it was a good
thing all along but I obviously have a
and it just I don't think it will damage
time reason number three I like Japan
this is nothing to do with Japan to say
it's more related to me taking a more
relaxed approach to YouTube for my
entire 20s I did nothing but YouTube
that was my life and that's okay but I
also think it was a little toxic
probably you know if I wasn't making
videos I sure as hell was thinking about
making videos I uploaded videos during
and it feels really good to finally be
free from it you know and I can discover
other things in life there are other
things in life
a new hobbies and interest that I've
always wanted to do I can do and have so
much fun with it surfing I know I would
love for the longest time and I finally
get to do it and it's so [ __ ] amazing
I love learning new things anything that
isn't necessarily connected to all of
this on the internet and that is
something I'm very very grateful that I
discovered so yeah it's not really Japan
I could have done that anywhere but it's
largely why I enjoyed so much here
reason I don't like Japan number three
this is probably the most trickiest one
and it's the rules what are the rules
Japan has so many rules and it's a bit
conflicting for me to complain about
because a lot of the best stuff about
Japan not the best stuff but a lot of
the reasons why Japan works so well is
because of the rules you know the trains
are always on time things just work in
general it's hard to explain the streets
are clean people aren't loud in public
and so on and these are sort of societal
rules that make it happen more or less
but sometimes There are rules that just
don't make any sense and I have no
problem following rules as long as I
understand the reason for it you know
don't talk on the phone on the train
because it's generally annoying when
other people do that to you A lot of it
is just be thoughtful of other people
it's not just about you and that just
makes it more pleasant for everyone but
one rule is especially which I talked
about before is the fact that because of
kovid I'm not allowed to be in the
delivery room for our baby for more than
two hours that's because of covered
rules it just doesn't make sense to me
and I tell people about this like uh
family and friends and they're always
like well why don't you just ask them or
like why don't you talk to them I'm sure
you can there's got to be somewhere and
it's like no it's Japan okay there are
rules and people follow the rules for
better or worse you know so the more I
