WORD COUNT: 2.8K words

SERIES INTRODUCTION | CH2

DIM LIGHTS AND THE SMELL OF RAMEN made the atmosphere feel like home. Conversations among the customers in the ramen shop overlapped each other, so much that the distinct voices blended together. The busy atmosphere was oddly calming...

"Wah, why do babies cry so much?"

...Well, maybe not to everyone.

Y/N Kirino looked up at the man she was working alongside. He rested his chin on top of his palm as his head looked towards the right, a childish pout on his face. Y/N looked in the direction Ranpo Edogawa was looking in to see what he was talking about.

A couple of tables down was a little girl, who was no older than 3 years old, crying. She was amazed that she ignored the wailing until that point. She looked back at Ranpo with an answer to his question earlier in mind.

"Babies and little kids cry for plenty of reasons, but I think that girl burned her tongue by eating whatever was on her plate too soon. She was sticking her tongue out as she cried," Y/N replied before she ate more of her Hakata ramen.

Ranpo took one of his wooden chopsticks and stirred his noodles like a bored child, "She actually tried Sriracha. The bottle was right near her plate."

Bored and grumpy. Those were the two feelings Y/N could practically feel radiating off of Ranpo. She silently observed him as she ate her food. The slight furrow of his brows and the way he left the remains of his food untouched told Natsuo that he didn't want to be there anymore.

"Oniisan," she called for him, "don't tell me that the girl's crying made you lose your appetite."

"Nope!" Ranpo sat up straight and complained, "Why do we have to leave Kyushu early? We just got here! I want to stay, hmph!"

"We can come some other time, Oniisan. I'm sure Fukuzawa-sama would let us if we asked."

"They can just send you the details over text and we could stay."

"I was told that they wanted you nearby in case you were needed again. There are lives on the line in this case, which is also the newcomer's entrance exam. Oh, and we leave for the train tomorrow at 9 o'clock in the morning. If we leave the inn early, we can also go shopping for some snacks you want."

The Armed Detective Agency.

It was a licensed group consisting of almost entirely ability users who worked in Yokohama. They worked on cases that the police or military police couldn't handle either because it was too difficult, or they were already placing their staff's effort elsewhere. Most cases dealt with fellow ability users.

Not every case of theirs is dealt with in Yokohama. That's why Y/N and Ranpo were hours away from home. As members of the small group, they were sent out to Kyushu for a case.

Ranpo was the smartest detective in the agency, probably the smartest in the entire country. He solved many cases with his so-called ability called Ultra Deduction. In a blink of an eye, he'd identify the culprit from the evidence and explain the steps they took to commit the crime, if necessary.

The skill of his played a large part in keeping the agency running. If it weren't for Ranpo, there would've been plenty of cases either left unsolved or solved too late. Y/N picked up on some of the ways he thought as a detective, but it still wasn't near his level at all.

She admired him for it. Although Ultra Deduction was not an actual ability and just Ranpo's innate talent, it didn't make him any less admirable. If anything, it made him greater than an ability user in Y/N's mind. He was proof that an ability wasn’t necessary to be great.

The woman finished her ramen before she and Ranpo left. They checked into their rooms at a local inn after they got some onsen tamago to satisfy the male's stomach.

In order to go shopping as Y/N promised, she and Ranpo had to wake up early. Y/N was peacefully sleeping on her futon until a loud slam awoke her. Actually, she was sure that it woke up some of the people in the rooms nearby as well.

Y/N tiredly rubbed her eyes before looking up at the figure that stood by her side. It wasn't shocking for her to see Ranpo standing with his hands on his hips. It reminded her of how Ranpo used to wake her up for late-night snack runs when she lived with Akiko Yosano, her older sister figure and co-worker, while he was sleeping over.

"What time is it?" she croaked, sitting up.

He replied, "Time for you to get up! We got 3 hours until we leave, starting right now. Come on, I want to eat soufflé pancakes!"

Y/N knew better than to keep someone like Ranpo waiting. She got ready as quickly as possible before they checked out of the inn. Her hair blew with the breeze that passed.

"Hey, Oniisan," Y/N called for Ranpo during breakfast.

He licked the whipped cream at his lips, "Hm?"

"What do you think he's like? The new member," she inquired.

"Doesn't matter to me!" He took another bite before he continued, "I'm the better detective in the end. Nobody can match my Ultra Deduction."

'He's definitely still grumpy we're leaving early'

"Kunikida-san told me that 'He's a suicidal child in a grown man's body.' I wasn't sure what to say after that."

"Well then, don't go having a crush on him too like you did with Kunikida, N/N-chan."

The woman immediately cringed, "You said you wouldn't bring that up again! I don't even want to think about that." She buried her face in her hands after thinking about her past feelings.

Doppo Kunikida, another colleague of theirs in the agency, was quite a professional man. He heavily believed in his ideals and was determined to follow them.

Y/N was sure of the two reasons why she initially developed a crush on Kunikida. The first was how organized he was with his life. Kunikida had plans and the resolve to see them through. He worked hard for morals that she also abided by.

The second reason? Y/N was simply surrounded by family figures until she met Kunikida. Y/N lived in her family's estate until she was 16. After she was saved by the Armed Detective Agency, they became her family. Ranpo, Yosano, and Yukichi Fukuzawa were not only years older than her, but there was only room for familial bonds.

So since Y/N was drawn to his demeanor and didn't see him as a brother figure, she developed a crush. 3 months passed before she stopped seeing him that way.

"Well then, don't go having a crush on him too like you did with Kunikida, N/N-chan."

Y/N glanced out the window, "I'm used to other people's presence in my daily life now. I won't fall for him like how I did with Kunikida."

She'd fall much harder.

| 生きがい |

Y/N GOES ABOUT HER DAILY LIFE with a list of tasks to do. Although the days are different, the things on her to-do list for work continue to stay the same. She was not as strict about her schedule as Kunikida was, however. While he had every hour planned with something to do, all of it written in his small book, Y/N had a short list engraved in her mind.

-Get drinks for everyone before going to work

-Make sure Ranpo has snacks at his desk before he comes in (which is a bit late)

-Check any e-mails sent to the ADA

-Hand in any finished paperwork from everybody to Kunikida towards the end of the day

The list was not long or complicated, but it wasn't always completed by the end of every day. Urgent cases or cases far away were the main reasons that these errands would sometimes remain undone. The case Y/N followed Ranpo to Kyushu for was an example.

They returned to Yokohama about 3 hours before sunset, Y/N unable to do anything on her to-do list. The case of the Azure Messenger was too important to deal with. A bomb was planted somewhere in Yokohama, set to blow up and kill over a hundred people at sunset, and almost every worker had their minds running in circles until Ranpo made his appearance. They were sure that he would find out where it was the moment Kunikida and the new recruit returned with the files they were fetching.

Hell, Ranpo could probably deduce possible areas for the bomb without the files.

So Y/N sat at her desk, reading over what had happened so far. The news, written reports, and accounts from some of the workers here, Y/N wanted to be caught up to every detail. She spent about 30 minutes reviewing and theorizing before Ranpo asked her what she thought.

Ever since she started working at the agency, Y/N tried to challenge her ways of thinking. Ranpo helped her by handing her old cases that were already solved and letting her solve them with all the evidence provided. It was routine for her to explain her thinking to him.

"Well, I think it's safe to cross out major buildings. If those buildings exploded, it would take down many more in the process. The message they sent made it seem like they weren't aiming for victims exceeding... let's say three hundred people. Exploding towers and nearby buildings would kill way more than that."

Ranpo hummed, "Then what place would it be in? If it's not a major building, where is our bomb?"

Y/N leaned back in her chair, "If the bomb isn't found in time, people will probably blame the agency again. These crimes seem to be trying to make us look bad, so far. So if I were a bomber, I'd bomb some place with victims that have done absolutely nothing wrong. A popular park is a place I'd bomb, if it weren't a school... That's really dark of me, isn't it?"

"Kinda is. Final answer?"

"Yup, is it right?"

"Just wait and see, N/N-chan~ They'll be here in 5 seconds.”

Y/N was confused until she saw the door to the office open in her peripheral vision. 5 seconds later, to be exact. The first one to walk inside was Kunikida, who seemed relieved at the sight of Ranpo. Slowly trailing behind him was the man she'd never met before.

"Oh, Ranpo-san! How did the case in Kyushu go?" Kunikida greeted. He pushed up rectangle-shaped glasses with his finger.

"That? Took me one look at the body before figuring out who it was," He took another sip of his soda. "We heard what happened, Kunikida-Kun. Everyone's been running in circles over some little bomb, huh? I really wish my colleagues could take care of themselves sometimes. You know, I didn't get to slack off in Kyushu thanks to you. N/N-chan saved me from being completely bored there."

"Kirino?"

"Right here," Y/N popped up beside Ranpo's desk with a wave. "I was looking at everything that's happened so far before you walked in. It's quite a case we've got here."

"Yeah, and we've got to figure out where this bomb is, and we need help."

"That's why I'm here to help you out! After all, Ultra Deduction is the greatest skill in the world, so coming to me for help is only natural!" With a laugh, Ranpo patted Kunikida on the shoulder.

The blond wholeheartedly agreed. This, in turn, made Dazai finally speak up. "K-Kunikida, are you okay? You don't have to hold it in," he timidly said.

The glasses-wearing ability user only gave him a blank look. Y/N, on the other hand, found herself admiring Dazai's features. For someone her age, his face was devilishly handsome. Peaking through his bangs, Dazai's chocolate-colored eyes met hers.

"Dazai, give Kirino the files."

He held out the papers they'd gotten but retracted them the moment Y/N held her hands out to grab them. Dazai, instead of handing over the files, tucked them under his arm before he took a couple of steps closer. He clasped Y/N's hands with his own, their eye contact never breaking.

"If I'd known a beauty like you was hiding in the agency, I would've come to join sooner," he smiled at her, feigning innocence as Y/N's cheeks heated up. "A wonderful, young woman like you should partner up with a charming, equally young man like- GWUAH!"

Abruptly, Kunikida punched Dazai down on his head. Both Y/N and Ranpo watched the brunet get angrily pulled back by the blond.

The idealist scolded, "Do you seriously have no shame!? Kirino is your senior as a worker here, so don't go flirting with her at first sight! There is a time and place for-"

"Are you saying that because she crosses off a couple of requirements on your list?" Dazai smirked.

"Huh!?"

"Oh, come on~! I've just met this Kirino-chan and I can tell! She looks polite, well-mannered, organized, someone that'll always fight for what's right-"

"Dazai," Kunikida glared.

It was an interesting dynamic to watch, to be honest.

"What's going on out here? You guys are awfully noisy," a feminine voice joined.

Everyone glanced to the side to see the agency's doctor outside the infirmary's door. Yosano's heels clicked as she walked towards Y/N. Her arm draped over the younger one's shoulders as she stared at Kunikida.

"So hey, what's this list Dazai was talking about, Kunikida? Last time I checked, listing attributes about Y/N had nothing to do with the bomb," Yosano interrogated.

They all stared at the woman.

"Oneesan's right," Y/N spoke up. "Lives are on the line with the bomb. Dazai-san, may I have the files?"

"Right, of course. Dazai Osamu, by the way. Nice to meet the both of you, Kirino-chan and Ranpo-san." He got up from the floor and handed Y/N the files.

"So, newbie," Ranpo called out to Dazai, momentarily forgetting his name. "Uh... Dazai, was it? Where did you work prior to coming here?"

Thus, an awkward, short conversation occurred between the two. Ranpo had asked Dazai what he was doing before the agency, to which he replied that he was merely roaming around. It was an awfully convenient excuse for someone who had no information in the police database's records.

The pair had a short staredown before Ranpo moved back to check over the papers Y/N and Yosano had laid out. He digested the information before he put on his black-framed glasses. Dazai stepped behind him to watch closer.

Ranpo's bright green eyes sharpened before he supposedly activated his ability. He set his glasses on his desk, "I've got it."

"Wait, seriously?" Dazai held his breath.

"N/N-chan," Ranpo pointed at the bookshelf, "get the map for me?"

"Of course," she turned around to get the map on the bookshelf behind her. She spread it out over the papers.

"The bomb is..." everyone else leaned closer to the map in anticipation. Ranpo then lightly pressed his finger on top of the map, "...right here. The bomb was set up in this fishing-gear shop."

"Then I guess my theory of it being a popular park was wrong," Y/N commented. She didn't dare to say anything about what Dazai did.

Amazed, he urged Kunikida out of the agency by pulling his sleeve. Ranpo remarked that Dazai was simply amazed by his ability, but the two women present knew otherwise.

Osamu Dazai figured out that Ranpo Edogawa was not an ability user.

The moment the senior detective activated his "ability", Dazai held a piece of his hair from behind. His ability nullifies the effects of any ability he touches, so Ranpo shouldn't have been able to figure out where the bomb was if Ultra Deduction was an actual ability.

"He didn't seem like the type to be that amazed, but I get it," Y/N murmured.

Ranpo, however, caught onto her words, "He should be amazed! Ultra Deduction is the best ability out there for cases."

Yosano patted her co-worker on the shoulder, "Of course it is. What would the Armed Detective Agency be without you solving many cases for us?"

"We just have to hope that they disable the bomb in time," Y/N began to fold the map. She asked Ranpo, "Do you think they'll make it in time?"

The oldest of the trio only sat back on his desk's chair, "I know they will."

Hawks Headcanons

Because I hyperfixate, and write, I have compiled a list of what Keigo/Hawks is like in my head. This is so I can reference it back and not keep changing things in the stories. I like consistency.

So, here we go, the list of head canons that I have for my beloved boy.

General

Yes, he has flown into a window. No he will not admit it.

Hawks can’t cook. He is used to microwave meals and quick meals like eggs, pancakes, bacon, ramen, spaghetti, and the like. Hence his love for chicken.

He has collapsed into bed without removing his gear more times than he would care to admit.

He is a bookworm. He loves to read. It’s one of his escapes.

His preferred genre is adventure, action, fantasy. Picture lotr, or noble knights doing good for their kingdom.

He likes to game. I would think Assassins creed, Witcher, LoZ, maybe even pokemon. He's not a hard-core gamer, but he dabbles in it.

He will zone out in a warm shower.

He loves sitting up high and looking at the stars and sky. His favorite place is the Kyushu tower.

He loves peace and quiet. It helps to calm his mind and allows him to think without outside stimuli.

His favorite pastime is allowing his mind to wander.

If he finds anything interesting or that he likes, he will research it to death.

He has RAD, depression, ADHD, hypervigilance, and hyper independence. Most of these are due to the upbringing of the commission. He also has abandonment issues. He hates leaving anything unfinished.

He DOES NOT trust people; this is due to the Commission. He always believes people are two faced. Even if people believe they are close to him, they really aren’t.

He has many layers to him. He is very complex. Most of the layers are barriers meant to keep people out and away.

He is insanely smart, despite acting oblivious.

He catches on quickly. Quick learner.

He has standards and morals, despite being morally grey.

Despite having rigorous training to control his features when emotions hit, some do slip. These micro-movements are specifically his wings and feathers. Puffing up, roosting, sharpening. These will give away his thoughts and feelings while his face is neutral. Only those close to him really notice it.

He has a mouth, and he uses it. It gets him into trouble. His wings and feathers usually get him out of it.

He will shut down and recharge after strenuous missions. This is the time when he likes to be alone and decompress, mostly sleep.

He has a soft spot for animals. He likes cats and dogs. He would love to have one day, but with his changing schedule, it would be hard to keep them. So, he sticks to the strays and the neighbors’ pets.

He would rather deal with kids than adults. Kids are much easier to deal with and honest vs adults who are shady and two-faced.

Despite being a ray of happy sunshine in public, Hawks is actually fairly quiet.

Hawks gets even quieter when tired. And it is noticeable. He doesn’t want to use the energy he has left. He also doesn’t want to say anything he would regret later. His filter is usually less during this time and he may say something that would sound mean when in reality it isn’t.

Despite being fast and quick, he is relatively patient. He doesn’t mind waiting, as long as it is for something he likes.

While praise is nice, from outsiders, it isn’t rewarding. But from someone he knows is genuine, then that is something.

Telling him thank you always makes him smile. Gratitude goes a long way with him.

He has Endeavor merch, but not as much as you think. A couple of t-shirts, a poster, and signed photo, plus a figure or two. But not a whole wall or closet filled.

Hawks is the kind of guy who is self-conscious about his wings. It has always been about his wings and what he can do, never him. He doesn’t like it when people see him and his wings or as his wings. He would rather have someone who can separate the two, and just see him as a human rather than his wings.

He sometimes uses his wings to his advantage and tries to make his personal bubble a little bigger.

His earrings are a sign of rebellion against the commission. Basically, saying you can’t control me or my body to them by doing it.

He would duck out of a massive party any chance he got. Whether it would be saying his partner was tired or phone call or whatever. He gets slightly overstimulated in large crowds, on the count of his wings picking up vibrations constantly, along with his wings also being big and not the best at keeping himself small and unnoticed.

Now for the fun random bits!

Hygiene

He smells like Marble. Beneath ozone and coffee.

He uses 3 in 1 body and shampoo when in a rush. But on days off he actually uses different soap and shampoo.

When in a hurry, he will usually shed his feathers so he can dry faster.

Hairbrush? What's that? He rarely styles his hair or brushes it. Usually one or two swipes with his hand and he's good.

Mint or spearmint toothpaste.

Quick rinse with mouthwash.

Food

He has a sweet tooth. He LOVES sweet coffee.

His go to is always chicken.

He is more of a savory kind of person.

He is a glutton when it comes to the food he loves.

Alcohol

He isn't an alcoholic. He drinks socially. He may have a beer or ale or cider every now and then, but he really doesn't drink. At parties he will have a wine or champagne. If it is a fancier party then a scotch, bourbon, or whiskey. Sometimes he will have a shot of sake.

Work and workplace

He is the kind of guy to give his employees merch as gifts. He will if he really doesn’t know what to get them.

He usually pawns new merch to try on his employees for feedback.

He does get to know his employees.

Sleep

He sleeps on his stomach or side. It is hard to sleep on his back with his wings, but he does sometimes. It is just uncomfortable. And gets wing cramps when he falls asleep with his wings bunched up.

He will sometimes shed most if not all of his feathers to sleep on his back.

His bedding is soft and fluffy. He has multiple pillows. He loves snuggling under his covers and duvet cover.

He is a pillow hugger. He loves his body pillows.

He sleeps in a loose t-shirt and boxers. Usually. He will sometimes go for sweatpants and a long sleeve shirt when it gets colder.

He is a furnace. He radiates heat.

I have more. Let me know if anyone would like the other lists.

This guy lives in my mind rent free... I do have a love/hate relationship with him.

sunday six (i ran here as quick as i could and haven't even checked my dash properly edition)

heyo! i've been working on the ever-changing's fifth chapter these past few days (i mean, i've been writing daily since february, but uh. we don't talk about the quality here), but there's nothing really interesting so far, so i've quicky put together the other kwgm (not the sick fic one this week, sowwy, but continuation to this snippet (this one is also from this very wip) just for this post

@jichanxo, @overdevelopedglasses, @four-white-trees, @mike----wazowski, @woundedheartwithin, i think that's all who participates? anyway

He leads the way to Kyushu No.1 Star, greets the owner, smiling at his ‘Long time no see’ and ‘I thought you forgot about us, Yagami-san’, and jokes in return as usual, in the process catching Kuwana’s amused look. While their plates of Crushin’ Chashu Challenge are being prepared (Yagami smirks while ordering, and after that Kuwana obviously has no other option but to follow), he leans closer to ask in a low, hushed voice, “You do really know your city, don’t you?”

“Well, word of mouth and all. Necessary in this line of work,” Yagami says, shrugging nonchalantly, hiding the way he shivers under Kuwana’s breath only to honor their silent agreement.

They both know how they make each other feel. There is no need to speak about it. Actions are louder than words between them anyway, but a small ramen place in the web of Kamurocho’s narrow streets is barely an appropriate place to act — or even speak, for that matter.

And so, Yagami knows that if he makes his reaction apparent, Kuwana won’t be able to stop himself from scooching closer and taunting a bit more brazenly; as well as he knows that he will allow and encourage it, and even indulge in the same act himself.

And there is only one place where it always leads to. So, no. Here’s not the place, now’s not the time.

#sunday six #kuwagami #judge eyes #the sick fic and whatever should i call this actually HAVE normal titles already for quite some time but uh #it's awkward to use them because no one really know what i'm talking about #tbh at first it also was awkward to talk like that about the ever-changing... even when i'd been writing it for a year and a half #but this is different ig #putting letters together one word at a time

[tollingreminiscentbells]

Planning a somewhat ambitious trip for the end of June, so I just went ahead and booked all the hotels tonight. They can be cancelled for free if I change my mind on any of it, but I'm aiming to do Fukuoka, Saga, Nagasaki, and Kumamoto. Kumamoto is the one I'm most on the fence about, but it would sweep half of Kyushu in one go.

What the fuck I'm going to do in Saga is a bit of a mystery. And Fukuoka is just to eat. Tonkotsu ramen, unagi seiromushi, gyoza, apparently the yakitori is particularly good. I don't love mentaiko, unless it's in monjayaki with mochi and cheese, but Fukuoka is known for it, so I'll probably eat some anyway.

(I've been in Japan too long. When I travel, my top priority is always the food.)

This has been: Noe's ongoing adventures in trying to visit all 47 Japanese prefectures.

[lennonhead]

some of you may know of my obsession with Yamazaki Pan, a packaged bread company. they make shelf-stable tuna sandwiches and very good and cheap cream puffs

because they are madmen, they released sandwiches that will be on the shelves for this week only. ONE WEEK. I went to 3 grocery stores looking for them, before they arrived at my usual stop today. hurrah! I got them all, except for the red bean paste ones, because I hate those

the top one is a miniature tasting platter of the flavours the Lunch Pack line was originally released with: peanut cream (like a very light peanut butter), yogurt, red bean, and green apple. I'm very excited about the green apple. does it taste like artificial green apple flavour? I shall report back later with my findings

the next is different types of chocolate: chocolate whipped cream, plain chocolate, cookies and cream, and white chocolate whipped cream

the one I tried this evening consists of flavours inspired by Kyushu, one of the large islands of Japan, far, far away from where I live

first: chanpon. chanpon is a ramen derivative. it was difficult to ascertain a flavour here, it mostly tasted like mayonnaise. also, noodles should not be in a sandwich

second: mentaiko pasta. mentaiko is a lightly preserved fish roe. tarako/mentaiko pasta is a dish invented in the 1970s and it's very good, and depending on how much butter you have it can be stretched infinitely, so very useful when you have no money. this sandwich was disgusting though. also, noodles should not be in a sandwich

third: chicken nanban, which is fried chicken in two sauces. one of the sauces is tartar sauce. Japanese tartar sauce is way better than in Canada, so it tastes good. the sandwich is alright, but in terms of the rest of the package, it was easily the best, as it wasn't inherently cursed

Yamazaki Pan... never change have a great summer

Miracle!!! on Ice (Animage 2017/01 Yuri!!! on Ice booklet) Hayashi Yuichiro's comments (ending storyboards, staging, key animation)

Part 4.

Yuri Plisetsky

A shot taken in St. Petersburg, Russia, when Yurio is waiting for a train after a training session. He's a delinquent, so I made him flop down on the bench, and play with is phone (laugh).

Yurio and a lion statue

Together with a lion statue, that can be seen in one of Russian museums in St. Petersburg. In the show there's that scene where after he came to Hasetsu, Yurio jumps at that animal print T-shirt, so I wanted to find a good place [to show in the ending], that would bring out his delinquent-ness. I achieved the effect I wanted in this lion x lion art.

Victor Nikiforov

Victor's selfie he took when he was having fun drinking nihonshu [Japanese rice wine] in Nakasu on Kyushu [Nakasu is a district of Fukuoka city] (laugh). In the show, there is that scene where he tells Yuuri and Yurio to practice "Eros" and "Agape", and he himself goes out to eat Nagahama Ramen [famous ramen from Fukuoka city], so I wanted to take the opportunity and draw this "Meanwhile..." art.

¡Hola, buenos días, humanidad! ¡Feliz viernes! Hoy os dejo la foto de Fukuoka, la ciudad más grande de la isla Kyushu en Japón, que ofrece una mezcla única de modernidad y tradición. Con sus rascacielos que se alzan junto a antiguos templos, Fukuoka cautiva a los visitantes con su encanto diverso. El bullicioso distrito de Hakata es famoso por su rica cultura gastronómica, donde se pueden degustar platos como el ramen Hakata y el mentaiko, un condimento de pescado picante. El Canal City Hakata, un complejo de entretenimiento y compras, es otro atractivo destacado con sus tiendas, restaurantes y teatros. Además, Fukuoka alberga hermosos espacios verdes, como el Ohori Park y el Maizuru Park, proporcionando oasis de tranquilidad en medio de la animada ciudad.

Para tener en cuenta...

Ves, ese es el problema. Piensas que siempre habrá un mañana. Piensas que siempre tendrás otra oportunidad, otro día. Piensas que siempre habrá suficiente tiempo para decir lo que sientes, suficiente tiempo para pasar con aquellos a quienes más amas. Y luego, un día, sin previo aviso, ese día llega. El día que pensaste que nunca llegaría. Despiertas en un lugar donde ya no tienes la oportunidad de decir las cosas que querías decir, de pasar tiempo con aquellos que más importaban. No dejes que la oportunidad se te escape entre las manos. No des por sentado el momento. No hay nada glorioso en lamentarse por lo que debería haberse hecho o dicho. No hay nada sagrado en pensar demasiado... en perderte dentro de la posibilidad perdida. No hay otro momento más hermoso que este, y no hay otra forma de vivir.

Sakurajima Ramen (ラーメン櫻島) in Sapporo is probably the best tonkotsu I’ve had outside of Kyushu! 🤤👍🏾

Ken Domon /Japanese 1909 –1990

Rumie 1959 From the series Children of  Chikuhō

https://www.internazionale.it/foto/2016/06/10/domon-ken-mostra-roma-foto-giappone

In 1959, Japan’s government enforced a policy dubbed the Energy Revolution to switch from coal to oil as a fuel source. This left many miner communities rife with unemployment. Chikuho, located in Japan’s island Kyushu, was one such town. In December, Domon Ken visited the town to interview and photograph the unemployed and their children. The following month, Domon published the photobook Children of Chikuho (筑穂のこどもたち, Patria Shoten, 1960).

The speed with which this publication was made was remarkable as was its low retail price of ¥100. (Adjusting for inflation, ¥100 today is roughly ¥1000, which can get you a bowl of ramen in Tokyo today at your local spot.)

Photobooks at the time, including those made by Domon, were lavish productions and came with a hefty price tag that limited who could or would want to own such things. Domon’s Chikuho was a statement. The book was meant to be a document of the reality of the disenfranchised miners and the callousness of the government’s blind eye.The book went on to sell over 100,000 copies. According to Kaneko-sensei, the book’s format (small, compact and softcover) made it something that could be tucked into a back pocket; the point being there was nothing precious about the book. The halftone reproductions were part and parcel of the guerrilla approach. The layouts on the pages put the images and texts together in grids and tableaux.

The success of this publication effectively established a model for other similarly formatted photobooks that had a specific social issue to address. Then again, once the model was established the subsequent books started to level-up the production value as well as the retail price. The strong association of this format (socially-minded and urgent) was borrowed for other books, thereby established a category, making Chikuho one of the most important books within the history of Japanese photobooks.
