A Brave and Startling Truth
by Maya Angelou
We, this people, on a small and lonely planet Traveling through casual space Past aloof stars, across the way of indifferent suns To a destination where all signs tell us It is possible and imperative that we learn A brave and startling truth And when we come to it To the day of peacemaking When we release our fingers From fists of hostility And allow the pure air to cool our palms When we come to it When the curtain falls on the minstrel show of hate And faces sooted with scorn are scrubbed clean When battlefields and coliseum No longer rake our unique and particular sons and daughters Up with the bruised and bloody grass To lie in identical plots in foreign soil When the rapacious storming of the churches The screaming racket in the temples have ceased When the pennants are waving gaily When the banners of the world tremble Stoutly in the good, clean breeze When we come to it When we let the rifles fall from our shoulders And children dress their dolls in flags of truce When land mines of death have been removed And the aged can walk into evenings of peace When religious ritual is not perfumed By the incense of burning flesh And childhood dreams are not kicked awake By nightmares of abuse When we come to it Then we will confess that not the Pyramids With their stones set in mysterious perfection Nor the Gardens of Babylon Hanging as eternal beauty In our collective memory Not the Grand Canyon Kindled into delicious color By Western sunsets Nor the Danube, flowing its blue soul into Europe Not the sacred peak of Mount Fuji Stretching to the Rising Sun Neither Father Amazon nor Mother Mississippi who, without favor, Nurture all creatures in the depths and on the shores These are not the only wonders of the world When we come to it We, this people, on this minuscule and kithless globe Who reach daily for the bomb, the blade and the dagger Yet who petition in the dark for tokens of peace We, this people on this mote of matter In whose mouths abide cankerous words Which challenge our very existence Yet out of those same mouths Come songs of such exquisite sweetness That the heart falters in its labor And the body is quieted into awe We, this people, on this small and drifting planet Whose hands can strike with such abandon That in a twinkling, life is sapped from the living Yet those same hands can touch with such healing, irresistible tenderness That the haughty neck is happy to bow And the proud back is glad to bend Out of such chaos, of such contradiction We learn that we are neither devils nor divines When we come to it We, this people, on this wayward, floating body Created on this earth, of this earth Have the power to fashion for this earth A climate where every man and every woman Can live freely without sanctimonious piety Without crippling fear When we come to it We must confess that we are the possible We are the miraculous, the true wonder of this world That is when, and only when We come to it.

Yamato: …
Sougo: …
Yuki: …
Minami: …
[Ping]
Sougo: Ah…
Yamato: What?
Sougo: Tamaki-kun replied. It seems like we are in similar situations.
Yamato: Oh, I see. 
Yuki: … yawns
Minami: It’s hot today, isn’t it.
Rinto: …
Rinto: Everyone’s so quiet…
Yamato: Yeah.
Sougo: Thank you for driving us safely.
Yuki: …Oh, I dozed off.
Minami: Good morning, Yuki-san.
Yuki: Good morning.
Rinto: You really are awfully quiet. I thought you’d ask me more about where I’m driving you.
Yamato: I’ve come to learn that resisting does nothing. Not that I would normally.
Yamato: I’ve always gone along with things so… this is fine I guess.
Yuki: Fufu, well said.
Yamato: Stop commenting unnecessarily. Aren’t you as good at going with the flow?
Yuki: I’d say I’m pretty good at it.
Sougo: I try to avoid going too much with the flow, but sometimes I get lost in my judgment….Yamato-san.
Yamato: Hm?
Sougo: Should I be resisting with all my might right now?
Yamato: Not yet, Sou. Stay calm.
Sougo: Alright.
Yamato: If anything happens I’ll let you know, okay? Until then don’t try to jump into the driver’s seat and take over the wheel.
Rinto: You would do that ?!!
Sougo: I don’t intend to right now. But if Yamato-san says so I’d have no choice.
Yamato: I won’t tell you, it’s okay. I said I won’t tell you so it’s okay, got it?
Yuki: Well, we’ll get to our destination sooner or later so just relax.
Minami: We’re with familiar faces so there’s no need to worry. Especially since Re:vale’s manager is with us.
Rinto: Ahaha…Thank you very much. I appreciate it.
Yamato: …
Sougo: …
Yuki: …
Minami: …
Yuki: Yamato-kun.
Yamato: What.
Yuki: Fufu…just said your name.
Yamato: Stop being a nuisance.
Sougo: …
Minami: Osaka-san, what are you looking at?
Sougo: The guardrail pattern looks different in this area, so I was curious about it…
Minami: Ah, you’re right… doesn’t it look like a rainbow?
Yamato: Isn’t it more like a wave?
Yuki: Maybe carp streamers?
Minami: It might be a local design. Shall I look it up on my phone?
Sougo: Ah no, you don’t have to go that far.
Minami: I guess you’re right.
Yamato: …
Sougo: …
Yuki: …
Minami: …
Yamato: The conversation we had just now is meaningless, but it feels kinda nice during a road trip.
Yuki: I know.
Yamato: There’s something nice about it, it’s relaxing…
Minami: I like it. It would be nice if we could keep feeling relaxed and laid-back until the end.
Yuki: You’re saying it could get intense from here? for example?
Sougo: Like climbing Mount Fuji?
Yamato: Climbing with this group…?
Yamato: …it might be surprisingly good…
Yuki: Even if we encounter wild animals, we’ll have Sougo-kun and Minami-kun.
Sougo: I’m not so sure about my knowledge, but are you good at handling wild animals, Natsume-kun?
Minami: Osaka-san, I can’t believe you’re teasing me.
Sougo: Teasing…? How…Oh well…
Yuki: Is that okay?
Yamato: Your stupid joke is getting the same treatment as the guard rail pattern.
Minami: Fufu, you’re a very entertaining person, Osaka-san. I’ll give you this.
Sougo: What is this?
Minami: Dried plums. It’s good for salt intake.
Sougo: Thank you.
Yamato: I’ll have some too.
Minami: Of course, help yourselves. I have a lot.
Yamato: If I eat this much at once my face will shrivel up…
Minami: Don’t worry. You’re a handsome man, Nikaido-san.
Yamato: I don’t need to be flattered by someone who’s in the same group as a guy like Mido.
Minami: I’m being honest.
Sougo: I think Yamato-san is better looking than Mido-san.
Yamato: That’s an exaggeration.
Minami: He’s right.
Yamato: Natsume-chan?
Minami: No, not in a bad way.
Sougo: I don't know how to compare but, it’s more about the vibe surrounding you…Yamato-san is very reliable.
Yuki: You think so? Can you be a bit more specific?
Minami: You think Mido-san is not reliable? Can you give specific examples?
Sougo: Um…. Yes…
Yamato: Stop teasing Sou, you two. He’s a serious guy.
Yuki: My bad, force of habit.
Yuki: Hey Okarin, do you think Momo might be feeling lonely without me?
Rinto: Ahaha, I wonder.
Yuki: I think he is.
Yamato: You’re telling me that you didn’t rabbitchat him?
[Ping]
Yamato: Ah… it’s for me.
Yuki: From who?
Yamato: It’s from Mitsu. With a picture. Seems like the situation over there is the same as us. Here.
Sougo: It’s Iori-kun.
Minami: Inumaru-san is there as well.
Yuki: Momo’s not there, but Ryuunosuke-kun is.
Yamato: Somehow….
Yuki & Yamato & Sougo & Minami: looks like they’re having a ton of fun…
[Cut to another car]
Touma: Let’s go! Playin’ the most cutting-edge game driving with the best idols of this era!
Iori & Mitsuki & Ryuunosuke: Yay!
Touma: Bird-Tree-or-Fish~!!
Anesagi: Is this really the most cutting-edge game… sounds like an ancient game of wordplay…
Touma: Bird, Tree or Fish! Do you accept or not!
Iori & Mitsuki & Ryuunosuke: We accept, we accept!
Touma: Izumi, tree!
Iori: Cypress.
Touma: OK! Mitsuki-san, bird!
Mitsuki: Parrot!
Touma: OK! Tsunashi-san, fish!
Ryuunosuke: Sardines!
Touma: Alright we’re speeding up! Mitsuki-san, tree!
Mitsuki: Maple!
Touma: Tsunashi-san, bird!
Ryuunosuke: …Um, butterfly! Ah, I made a mistake!
Iori & Mitsuki & Touma: Yaaaay!!
Touma: Tsunashi-san, let’s switch!
Ryuunosuke: My bad. OK, here I come!
Iori & Mitsuki & Touma: Yaaaay!!
Mitsuki: Give us fanservice, Tsunashi-san!
Ryuunosuke: I’m not letting you go home tonight.
Iori & Mitsuki & Touma: FOOOOOO!!
Ryuunosuke: Bird, Tree or Fish! Do you accept or not!
Iori & Mitsuki & Touma: We accept, we accept!
[Ping]
Mitsuki: Wait! I got a rabbichat from Nagi, there’s even a photo attached!
Iori: Is he with someone?
Mitsuki: Looks like it. Check this photo out!
Iori: Looks like Yotsuba-san is there.
Touma: Haru is with them!
Ryuunosuke: Tenn! They look like they’re having fun over there!
Mitsuki: Nagi and the others don’t know where they’re headed either.
Ryuunosuke: Seems like Gaku is with Momo-san. So apparently Re:vale, TRIGGER, IDOLiSH7 and ŹOOḼ are all involved?
Touma: I wonder who’s the mastermind behind this.
Ryuunosuke: Doesn’t it seem like something Re:vale-san would do for their show? They’re the type to plan something like this.
Iori: Tsunashi-san, Re:vale got you tangled up in pranks like these several times, right?
Ryuunosuke: That is true.
Mitsuki: You didn’t realize that the “lost high school girls who just moved to Tokyo” were actually Re:vale, did you?
Ryuunosuke: No, I didn’t.
Touma: Seriously?! They would be hella tall high school girls!
Ryuunosuke: They had just arrived in Tokyo, got lost, dropped their wallet, and told me they were in trouble.
Ryuunosuke: I put myself in their shoes since I felt the same thing when I moved here. So I completely focused on helping them out.
Iori: What a good person…
Touma: Wait, could it be that?
Mitsuki: That?
Touma: Couldn’t it be the idol documentary Backyard Magic? You know, the show you MC for…
Mitsuki: Huh?! I don’t think so. TRIGGER’s manager is driving me after all…
Ryuunosuke: I’m sure she knows our destination…
Anesagi: No, I cannot answer any of your questions. I can answer your bird fish or tree game though.
Mitsumi: Fish!
Anesagi: Cod.
Touma: Bird!
Anesagi: Swallow.
Ryuu: Tree!
Anesagi: Cherry blossom.
Mitsuki: Wow, impressive!
Touma: As expected!
Anesagi: Fufu, well it’s not that special. Now be good children, okay?
Iori: It might be best not to pry too much…
Ryuunosuke: No point in thinking about it now. Let’s just play games until we reach our destination.
Touma: I guess so.
Mitsuki: Well then, let’s start over!
Ryuunosuke: Bird, Tree or Fish! Do you accept or not!
Iori & Mitsuki & Touma: We accept, we accept!
Iori: Judging from the situation we’re all in, it seems like our four idol groups were divided into four units…
Iori: The most logical reasoning is that it’s for the company from that other day
Iori: What a nuisance…
[Shift to a blue sky]
Iori: If I remember correctly, a few months ago…
To be continued.

A Brave and Startling Truth by Maya Angelou
We, this people, on a small and lonely planet Traveling through casual space Past aloof stars, across the way of indifferent suns To a destination where all signs tell us It is possible and imperative that we learn A brave and startling truth
And when we come to it To the day of peacemaking When we release our fingers From fists of hostility And allow the pure air to cool our palms
When we come to it When the curtain falls on the minstrel show of hate And faces sooted with scorn are scrubbed clean When battlefields and coliseum No longer rake our unique and particular sons and daughters Up with the bruised and bloody grass To lie in identical plots in foreign soil
When the rapacious storming of the churches The screaming racket in the temples have ceased When the pennants are waving gaily When the banners of the world tremble Stoutly in the good, clean breeze
When we come to it When we let the rifles fall from our shoulders And children dress their dolls in flags of truce When land mines of death have been removed And the aged can walk into evenings of peace When religious ritual is not perfumed By the incense of burning flesh And childhood dreams are not kicked awake By nightmares of abuse
When we come to it Then we will confess that not the Pyramids With their stones set in mysterious perfection Nor the Gardens of Babylon Hanging as eternal beauty In our collective memory Not the Grand Canyon Kindled into delicious color By Western sunsets
Nor the Danube, flowing its blue soul into Europe Not the sacred peak of Mount Fuji Stretching to the Rising Sun Neither Father Amazon nor Mother Mississippi who, without favor, Nurture all creatures in the depths and on the shores These are not the only wonders of the world
When we come to it We, this people, on this minuscule and kithless globe Who reach daily for the bomb, the blade and the dagger Yet who petition in the dark for tokens of peace We, this people on this mote of matter In whose mouths abide cankerous words Which challenge our very existence Yet out of those same mouths Come songs of such exquisite sweetness That the heart falters in its labor And the body is quieted into awe
We, this people, on this small and drifting planet Whose hands can strike with such abandon That in a twinkling, life is sapped from the living Yet those same hands can touch with such healing, irresistible tenderness That the haughty neck is happy to bow And the proud back is glad to bend Out of such chaos, of such contradiction We learn that we are neither devils nor divines
When we come to it We, this people, on this wayward, floating body Created on this earth, of this earth Have the power to fashion for this earth A climate where every man and every woman Can live freely without sanctimonious piety Without crippling fear
When we come to it We must confess that we are the possible We are the miraculous, the true wonder of this world That is when, and only when We come to it.

Van Gogh London Exhibit (My favorite artist and a genuinely breathtaking experience too!)
❤️‍🩹 - What’s a piece of advice you’d like to share?
Whenever you're dealing with strong emotions, take a moment to catch your breath. Take a break from social media, wait before answering those texts, take care of your body and its needs and so on.
Sometimes we forget to take care of ourselves and it can affect our mood and stability. You should always be your number one priority, because that's the one person you'll always have to rely on.
🌼 - Give us a cool random fact about you!
I'm double jointed so I can move and bend my body in some interesting ways! Makes for a pretty cool party trick, and helps freak people out every now and then too lol

Aokigahara Forest, Japan. Aokigahara is forest located in Yamanashi Prefecture on the island of Honshu, Japan. It is on the Northwestern flank of Mount Fuji. It’s also known as the “Sea of Trees”. Although it’s a popular destination for tourists, the forest is historically associated as a popular destination for suicides, earning it the nickname “Suicide Forest”. Every year, dozens of people venture into the forest with the intention of taking their own lives. Some claim it’s between 30 to 100 each year. It’s gotten to the point where the government had stopped publishing the statistics in order to prevent further deaths. Signs have been posted along the trails encouraging those considering ending their own lives to think of their families and call a suicide prevention association. Every year, teams are assembled to comb the forest for bodies.
Japan has a long tradition of suicide as an honorable practice. For example, Samurai practiced seppuku - a ritualistic suicide method by plunging a blade into their abdomen and disemboweling themselves, followed by decapitation as an act of mercy. Samurai performed this to prevent themselves being taken prisoner or restore lost honor. According to folklore, the forest was also used in the practice of Ubasute. This was practice of taking an elderly relative into the wilderness during times of hardship or famine and abandon them to the elements, where they would die of exposure or starvation. There is, however, no evidence that this ritual was actually practiced. Suicide rates in Japan spiked during the financial crisis in 2008, and have risen again in recent years. The most common method used in the forest is hanging. According to legend, Aokigahara is also haunted. It’s said that the forest is inhabited by yūrei - vengeful and evil spirits of the dead who lure travelers off of the path and lead them to get lost and disoriented, or encourage them to take their own lives. They are said to be the ghosts of suicide or ubasute victims. According to myth, Yūrei are created if a person dies a sudden or violent death, dies with strong negative feelings like rage or depression, or is not buried properly.
Adding to tense atmosphere, is the condition of the forest itself. It’s very easy to get lost in the forest. The trees are incredibly dense in some places, and the ground consists of porous lava rock that absorbs sound, making it both very quiet and difficult for sound to travel. It gives this place a very isolated feeling. The soil has a high iron content that interferes with GPS and cell phone signals. There are some who claim that compasses have malfunctioned and only spun in circles. This, however, is regarded as false. The dense foliage can block light from reaching the forest floor, hiding rocks and roots from view.
If you, or anyone you know, is considering suicide, please know that you are not alone out there. There are people who can help you. If you’re considering taking your own life please contact a suicide prevention helpline. Numbers for various crisis hotlines can be found below. Help is out there.
United States: 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, 988; Trans Lifeline, 1-877-565-8860; The Trevor Project, 1-866-488-7386; Veterans Crisis Line, 988 press 1

Out n about with Smart Doll Imagine around Atami - a city located on the eastern coast of the Izu Peninsula in Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan. It is known for its hot springs (onsen) and scenic views of Mount Fuji and the Suruga Bay. Atami has been a popular destination for tourists for centuries as a hot spring resort town. Many of its ryokan (traditional Japanese inns) have been in operation for over a hundred years. Imagine was released yesterday, together with her back story. She is a fave of mine and represents one of the reasons why Smart Doll exists today. Imagine will be back soon - but for now, here is the story of Imagine. ———————————— I’m a word that holds immense power, Yet no weight or mass to devour. I can bring to life what’s not yet real, And make the impossible seem ideal. I can take you to places far and wide, Show you worlds that exist inside. I’m used by dreamers, artists, and poets too, To create new things that are fresh and true. ———————————— Imagine is a reminder of the boundless potential of human imagination. She represents the incredible power that resides within us all to create, innovate, and bring new things into existence. By bringing to life what does not yet exist, Imagine shows us that the impossible is not always unattainable and that the limits of what we can achieve are only constrained by the scope of our own imaginations. Moreover, Imagine reminds us that imagination is not merely a whimsical pursuit but rather a valuable tool that can be used to explore new ideas, overcome obstacles, and create a future that does not yet exist. Through the power of our imaginations, we can attract the possibilities and opportunities we desire, bringing them into our lives and making them a reality. So, whenever you feel trapped in a rut or pondering your next career or business move, take a moment to sit back, gaze at the clouds, and let your imagination run free. Remember the power of Imagine and the vast potential of your own imagination to create the future that you desire. With imagination, anything is possible. #tokyo #smartdoll #anime #manga #doll #fashion #3dprinting #fashiondoll #design #madeinjapan #japan (at Atami, Shizuoka) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqKj_diy8CW/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Asumi Rio's Atelier Season 2 Cover Interview 🎙️
Tumblr media
(translation on 10/25/22)
Note: Lol double post today. This was not planned but this interview just came out, it was short, and I'm literally obsessed with her and these photos so.
This is an interview on Asumi's new season of her Hulu original show Asumi Rio's Atelier, which had its first season in , which will drop its first to episodes on Japanese Hulu on November 24th, then release new episodes every Saturday, for a total of 8 episodes.
Interview below the cut
In Asumi Rio’s Atelier’s previous season, Asumi Rio learned many ways of enriching her adult alone time. In Season 2, she is leaving the atelier and embarking on a trip.
―What was it like when it was decided there would be a season 2?
Asumi: I was incredibly happy. Season 1 was always inside the atelier, so I would joke around saying that my big dream was, “Season 2 in Hawaii” (laughs). This time we’re taking one step forward from the title and going on a trip, so I’m looking forward to being able to see different scenery than there was in the previous season.
―Your destination is Okinawa and Shizuoka, could you tell us some highlights of them?
Asumi: For Okinawa, experiencing folk songs, Ryukyu glasses, eisa, and Okinawa’s unique culture. The scenery is beautiful, so I’m hoping the viewers are able to experience the feeling of really going to Okinawa. As for Shizuoka, I went to the restaurant I always loved before entering Takarazuka, as well as the ballet school attended. I lived in Shizuoka all the way until I graduated middle school, but at the time I was limited to the general area where I lived, so I went to a wasabi farm and a piano factory for the first time. Then I did glamping, which was something I have always wanted to try. There’s an amazing glamping spot where you can see Mount Fuji, I also discovered that places like this are actually recently built. 
―It also seems like you were able to once again meet your former ballet teachers. What was it like?
Asumi: It was so heartwarming, more than I ever could have imagined. Remembering all those times from when I was young was just so heartwarming that the tears just naturally came out. During the time I was in Shizuoka, I was holding my family close to me, doing the things I enjoyed commuting to school. Ever since I was a kid I’ve been blessed by those around me, it was the first for me in life, to be able to remember these times and experience such utter happiness, all thanks to being able to spend such an amazing time with my ballet teachers.
 ―Lastly, please give a message to the Sakura Saku Life readers.
Asumi: There is a super close friend of mine, my classmate from Takarazuka, Nanami Hiroki. When I had just entered Takarazuka Music School, the natto that she gave me from her hometown Mito was so delicious, I was so surprised. One day I always wanted to go to the actual place and eat this natto. So if you happen to find me in town please think, “Hey, that’s the person that appeared in this magazine!” (laughs).

Apartment Towers & Hotel Skyline
Rinko Park offers lots of open space and shaded spaces as well making it a popular destination for locals and tourists alike. From the middle of the park, we can see the beautiful architecture of The Kahala Hotel & Resort Yokohama and Yokohama Bay Court Club Hotel & Spa Resort.
Inspiration for the exterior wave-like designs of the three structures is the famous woodblock print “Under the Wave off Kanagawa” (Kanagawa oki nami ura), also known as “The Great Wave,” from the series “Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji” (Fugaku sanjūrokkei) by the renowned Katsushika Hokusai ca. 1830–32.
