小倉から約1時間20分、香椎神宮駅に到着しました。

本日、最後の目的地　香椎宮に到着しました⛩️

相変わらず、大好きなスポットです♡

早速、お礼参りの参拝🙏🏻

前回は色々な種類のおみくじがありましたが、今回はこの一番オーソドックスなおみくじだけ。

折角なので引いてみました。

"吉"でした。もしかして、私の運気上向いてきてる！？

17時まで滑り込みでしたがお礼参りの参拝もできて良かったです✨

博多阪急で早い夕食🍜

お約束の小浜ちゃんぽんを頂きました。ここはどの店員さんも優しいので、そこもポイントなんです🙆‍♀️ 学生らしきバイトの店員さんでしたが、丁寧に接客してくれました。 そこでハーフサイズのちゃんぽんを注文しました。 ちゃんぽんが出来上がったので、取りに行ったら真っ青な顔で平謝り。 何があったのか尋ねたら、 「ハーフサイズとちゃんと聞いて決済したのに、うっかりレギュラーサイズを作ってしまいました」 差額料金はこちらのミスだからいらないというのと、食べきれなかったら遠慮なく残してくださいねと言われました。

海外の店員だったら 「あなたの為に大盛りにサービスしてあげたよ♪」 なんて言うのに、多く作って謝らないといけないなんて難しい世の中です…。 昼食で食べた小倉の海老チリ以来、何も食べていなかったので店員さんに申し訳ないと思いつつ完食してしまいました苦笑

eteで好みのジュエリーが減ってしまいがっかりしていたので、同じ博多阪急にあるヴァンドーム青山へ。

1月に購入したダイヤモンドのネックレス、シリーズでリングとブレスレットを発売になったので、早速見せて貰いました💎

特にハーフエタニティのようなリング(中央)、キラキラ感が凄いけれど、お値段も負けじと凄い…。

左のリングは以前、amebaブログで買った人のを読んで気になっていて、こちらも気になって着用させてもらいました。

旅行も行きたいけれど、これも欲しい！笑 品番を控えてもらってから、博多を後にしました。 また月曜日から頑張って働かないと💪

これを投稿しながら旅するルルルン、購入するのを忘れていたことに気付きました😭💦 そして、今回も神社参拝後の頭痛がツライです…😢

WEIRDという専門用語があります。 Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, and Democraticの頭文字を取ってWEIRD。 心理学研究のデータのほとんどが，西洋の，教育を受けた，産業社会の，裕福で，民主主義国家のサンプル（i.e., 米国大学生）から得られたものである状況を「どげんかせんといかん」と訴える論文で提案された略語です（Henrich et al., 2010）。

心理学ワールド 96号 研究を社会に伝える 説明不要。 | 日本心理学会

「専門用語？」と思われた方は鋭い。weirdにはもともと「変な」という意味があります。つまり心理学研究のサンプルはWEIRDでweirdである，という言葉遊びなんですね。しかし残念ながらこの単語，恐らくはカジュアルすぎるために，日本の大学入試ではまず使われません。なので日本の学生はweirdなんて単語は知らず，しかしWEIRDな著者にはそういう現実はさっぱり見えておらず，ゆえに論文内で言葉遊びの説明をするはずもなく，上手いこと言ってやったと悦に入っているわけです。そういうところだぞ。

realistic nanami's d analysis

warnings! ; nsfw (kinda) , headcanons (obviously) ; educational 🤓☝️

as a nanamin simp i've been reading and hearing about nanami's 9 inches manhood all over the internet and, honestly?, that doesn't sound accurate to me

something that happens to people who like nanami a lot is that they portrait him like a white man and, consciously or unconsciously, i feel that the 9 inch thing has been motivated by that current of thoughts

that's why i've decided to make a long research about the male genitalia comparing the average sizes all over the world, asia and finally, japan

of course, i did not give him a micro penis, but please don't expect the king cobra between this man's legs

i stress again the fact that this is my opinion and if you don't agree... well, there's not much i can do about it :)

context ;

for us humans, diversity comes in different styles of things, perhaps no topic elicits as much curiosity, speculation, and even anxiety as the dimensions of the male reproductive organ: the penis. from ancient myths to contemporary media portrayals, societal fascination with penile size permeates cultural narratives worldwide. however, amidst the myriad myths and misconceptions lies a scientific inquiry into the fascinating variations of penile size across different populations and ethnicities.

so, repeat after me: not every hot man has a 9 inches long d– / jk

in a comprehensive analysis conducted in 2020, researchers examined studies on penis size and determined that the typical length of an erect penis ranges from approximately 12.9 cm( 5.1 inches) to 13.9 cm (5.5 inches.) They suggested that the actual average tends to lean towards the lower end of this spectrum. (King, 2020)¹.

Another study indicated that the length for a flaccid penis was 9.16 cm (3.61 inches). (Veale et al., 2015)².

and that is what i’m basing my analysis (headcanons) on.

let's take a look on this chart (of dubious origin):

in this one we can see and compare the different sizes of the male reproductive system in different countries. if we look at it, japan has an average of 13.56 cm (5.3 inches).

investigating more in detail the male population, i managed to find that the average penis size in japan is about: 13.56 centimeters (5.33 inches), with a diameter of 3.53 cm (1.39 inches) at the head and 3.19 cm (1.25 inches) at the shaft when it's erect. (日本人の平均ペニスサイズが明らかに! | TENGA FITTING(テンガフィッティング), n.d.)³

knowing all of this, let's get into the heart of the matter that concerns us today.

his size ;

i'm using using this essay for a reference (since my humble self does not own a peewee) (男性器の大きさについて|大東製薬工業株式会社, n.d.)⁴.

to keep it simple:

erected :

length; 13.73 cm (5.4 inches) ~ 15.37 cm (6 inches)

girth; 11.73 cm (4.6 inches) ~ 12.73 cm (5 inches)

flaccid :

length; 9.73 cm (3.8 inches)

girth; 9.37 cm (3.6 inches)

the shape ;

i imagine it with a base a bit wider than the head (it gives fat dick ohohoho) and slightly curved up, the foreskin is still there and the skin is more pigmented there (#967a68). i can imagine a notorious vein coming from the base to the tip from below. his glans is paler than the shaft (#aa8483) and when it gets stimulated it turns into a #c96c60 shade.

nuts! ;

how do i say this?

they look heavy, somehow. also notoriously asymmetrical, the left one hangs lower.

is the carpet matching the curtains? ;

no, and this is my personal headcanon since I like the idea of ​​kento bleaching his hair since high school, from dark brown to his blonde tone he all see now. but if you don't think the same, it's alright, it doesn't affect anything.

he's hairy, everywhere, yes i'm also talking about his butthole!!

but he like to keep the hair trimmed and nice, not a crazy jungle of hair, since he also like to keep his face clean. it is a routine procedure that he does once every one or two months, always using an electric shaver.

so if you plan to give him head (or eat his ass, idk and idc), please expect to feel his pubic hair tickling your nose

+ his buns ;

his glorious glutes are made of 90% pure muscle, it also look squared shaped.

amazing, wow.

sources ↓

anyway, you don't have to take everything i wrote literally or personally, nanami is a fictional character and it doesn't really matter what his penis should or could look like. if you imagine him differently, great, i do too lol, my brain is never going to imagine him with some exact measurements or shape

hope you enjoyed my little essay on nanaken's penis :) it's the first time in my life that i talk so much about cocks lol

heroine and idol: lyrical analysis by me!

since apparently i have some explaining to do for why i translated heroidol the way i did, here's a line-by-line rundown and interpretation of both the lines and the scenes from the MV relevant to them.

before i go there, i'd like to remind you all that translations are heavily based on interpretation, and i took many creative liberties for this song, but not without reason!

平等だって聞いたのに! (byoudou datte kiita no ni!) -> it was supposed to be fair game!

okay, this like, in its essence, means: i thought there was equality! which makes no sense. 平等 means equality or impartiality. the rest, you can make that out on your own. i translated it as "fair game" because this line was meant to highlight how idols and normal people are in different levels. for normal people, idols are waaaay out of their leagues and an impossible love. for idols, they are the audience, their careers are dedicated them, but they're not allowed to fall in love.

住む世界が違う芸能人 (sumu sekai ga chigau geinoujin) -> celebrities who live in a whole other world

顔面偏差値　比べ凹��� (ganmen hensa-chi kurabe hekomu) -> taken at face value, no one can compare

now, this line was actually really funny. hiyori sees lipxlip on TV and remembers that these idols are in a whole other world from her. then, she looks in the mirror, and the line here translates to "no one can compare to their facial deviation". now, facial deviation is a way of judging whether a person is kind and beautiful based on their face. a high deviation is a compliment, etc. she's saying that just based on appearances, no one can compare to how idols look beautiful and kind (including herself, and normal people like her.)

日頃から笑顔を振りまいて (higoro kara egao wo furimaite) -> charming them all with a smile everyday

リアルか？フェイクか？(riaru ka? feiku ka?) -> is it real? is it fake?

騙されそう(汗) (damaserasou) -> it feels like a deception

these three lines are pretty self-explanatory. lipxlip, as idols even in sakuragaoka high school, portray kind and charming personalities that are nowhere near how they are in real life. hiyori contemplates whether the smiles they're giving to their classmates/fans are real or fake, because she knows what lipxlip are like behind that. the final line, she says it "feels like a deception", another way of translating this would be "it feels like i'm being fooled". because unlike the fans who only know lipxlip as princes, and lxl who are truly just some 16-year-olds with a big dream, hiyori stands smack dab in the middle, both as lipxlip's manager and a julieta herself. to the point where even she, someone who knows what lxl are like, feels like she's being fooled. this also highlights her role in lxl's lives, as the keeper of their secret (the secret being their bad personalities LMAO), because despite knowing the truth and despite all the hoops she's going through in this mv, she's one of the few people who knows the truth.

恋なんて多分ダメだろうに (koi nante tabun dame darou ni) -> falling in love is probably not allowed

そのくせフェロモン (sono kuse feromon) -> still, your addictive pheromones

飛ばしてんじゃん (tobashite jan) -> you send them flying everywhere

arguably the funniest line in this whole song. again, this is very obvious. hiyori knows lipxlip, and idols in general, are forbidden from falling in love (be it with a fan, another idol, et cetera) but still, idols make fans fall in love with them (hence why she says they keep letting out pheromones). and these fans, knowing their idols will never reciprocate their feelings, still throw all their love towards them wholeheartedly. because hiyori definitely does know the consequences that come with an idol falling in love (points to heroine tarumono) and the consequences that come with falling for an idol (points to heroine ikusei keikaku). so both like and unlike these girls, hiyori is once again in the middle, someone who can see clearly that feelings towards idols are almost guaranteed for an impossible love, yet sees how beautiful idols are despite that.

女子のみんな近づかんで！(joshi no minna chikazukan de!) -> to every girl out there, stay as far as you can!

感染させんでよ (kansen sasende yo) -> make sure not to catch the infection

あっちいけ (acchi ike) -> get away from me!

from calling their charms pheromones to calling them an infection, hiyori goes on to find more and more creative ways to describe her idols. hiyori here speaks to her fellow julietas and to other girls, telling them to stay far, far, faaaaaar away from lipxlip, because she knows that once you get caught up in their charms and their beauty, it's almost impossible to escape. but then, hiyori goes through a dilemma when faced with the charming prince of east and the gallant prince of west. theyre really sparkly. like really, really, REALLY sparkly. and therein falls the dilemma, hiyori has been telling people not to fall for the idols' wiles but... now that she's in their place, seeing what they're seeing... あっちいけ!

ズルいよ！ズルい！ズルすぎる！！(zurui yo! zurui yo! zuru sugiru!) -> this can't be! that's cheating! it's dishonest and unfair!!

惚れても責任取れないじゃん (horete mo sekinin torenaijan) -> you won't take responsibility for their feelings for you!

now we reach the point i am often told i mistranslated or misinterpreted. in this scene, hiyori is being held by a prince, portrayed by aizo. the first line is just the word ズルい (zurui) in various degrees, which in simple terms, means unfair or sly or crafty or however you might perceive it. i used a bunch of adjectives because i don't like repeating words but the essence is still the same. hiyori, in these scenes, isn't playing the mob girl from before, she's in the place of someone familiar to all julietas — as julieta herself. she's in the position most fans imagine themselves as, lipxlip's princess whom they promised the moon and stars for. while she's visibly blushing and flustered by the affection, hiyori is singing about how dishonest lipxlip are — how these princes aren't true and this love isn't real (both the fantasy she's experiencing now and the fantasies experienced by every julieta before and after her). here's a talking point, most are dissatisfied with my translation for horete mo sekinin torenaijan because if you launch it into google translate, it would say something like "i can't take responsibility even if i fall in love with you" which is a very zing moment for a lot of people. this translation isn't exactly accurate though. let's pick it apart: (惚れて) horete means to fall in love, to be charmed, attracted, to grow feelings for, et cetera. the line about taking responsibility however, doesn't point to hiyori, but points to lipxlip instead. and this line isn't specifically from hiyori's point of view either. the line is expressing that lipxlip, as idols, have people falling for them left and right, but can't and won't take responsibility for the feelings people have for them — because that's their job, as idols. to have people fall for them and keep falling for them, to hide their true selves and make people enamored with the illusion. putting the first and second line together, if i were to translate this conversationally: “it's extremely unfair, you can't be held responsible for those who fall in love with you.”

but, if idols are doing it intentionally, that means they can be held responsible for those feelings, right? wrong. like hiyori says in the beginning, everyone who gets caught by their pheromones can't escape, and despite her warnings, people will still fall in love with them — knowing exactly that they're never going to return that love.

ヤバいよ！ヤバい！ヤバすぎる！！(yabai yo! yabai! yaba sugiru!!) -> too much! it's dangerous! so risky and insane!!

あざとさ　すなわち“アイドル力” (azatosa sunawachi “aidoru ryoku”) -> cunning is the “power of idols”

again, the first line is just ヤバい (yabai) in different forms, a lot of adjectives for the same point: falling for idols like lipxlip is a dangerous type of love. why? because the power of idols, their fame and their support, comes from how cunning they can be, exactly what the second line says. hiyori, in these scenes with the prince of east and west, is thrashing between how she perceives lipxlip as idols and how she perceives them as people. as romeos, they're perfect, ideal, charming, gentle, everything once would expect from princes, from idols. she's viewing them from the rose-tinted glasses everyone else sees them in. except...

仕方ないけど… (shikatanai kedo...) -> still, it can't be helped

認めざるを得ませんね (mitomezaru wo emasen ne) -> i need to accept, this is how it is.

hiyori wakes up. unlike most julieta who live in the idealization of lipxlip, hiyori wakes up and she thinks: this is just how it is. as someone who knows lxl behind the scenes, someone who knows they're working for their dream just like she is, she needs to accept that the people who fall for their princely selves, the girls who look to them in search for romeo, is all part of the idol life. that's just how it is, and this is how it's supposed to be.

落ち込んだりもする芸能人 (ochikondari mo suru geinoujin) -> celebrities who get depressed sometimes

中身は普通の人間かも (nakami wa futsuu no ningen kamo) -> they're probably just normal people inside

once again, hiyori sees another side of the idols everyone loves. beyond the illusion of perfect princes, lipxlip, no, shibasaki aizo and someya yujiro, are just normal people deep down. they're human, they get sad when there's bad news, they fight when their pissed off, they argue and bicker and cry and laugh just like hiyori or any other julieta would. they're not ideal, nor perfect, hiyori would know, being the closest person their age to know who they are in truth — but they're idols and idols still, both in hiyori's eyes and every julieta's. the only great difference is: hiyori has the chance to break the illusion for herself, because she knows lipxlip aren't just idols, they're people too.

私にはスルーを決め込むの (watashi wa suruu kimekomu no) -> though i go unnoticed and ignored

リアルか？フェイクか？(riaru ka? feiku ka?) -> is it real? is it fake?

これはガチめ(汗) (kore wa gachime) -> this is getting serious

i don't have much to say about these lyrics. they're pretty straightforward, it's just a funny parallel between the "princes" in hiyori's dream who shower her with love and attention and how aizo and yujiro barely even look at her. it's also nice to note how she's the one trying to help lipxlip (by offering them their favorite drinks) because that's gonna be relevant later. as for the second line, hiyori doubts whether lipxlip are truly ignoring her or not (once again relevant later)

私の存在モブだろうに (watashi no sonzai mobu darou ni) -> to them, i'm just another one in the mob

たまに優しいの少し恐怖 (tama ni yasashii no sukoshi kyoufu) -> sometimes their kindness can be a little scary

and we're back in the romeoverse. here, hiyori is playing the mob girl again, and when she stumbles, she's helped by the princes. this is a direct parallel to the previous scene (told you it would be relevant) of how hiyori is ignored by aizo and yujiro in real life, yet treated so kindly by their counterpart princes. take note of hiyori's words here, she's applying the same logic she did to the previous verse: lipxlip are normal people, they get sad, they have bad days, and most of all, they're not as perfect or sweet as the fans want them to be. she knows this because she's been with them for a long time, she's seen them, not as a julieta, not as a classmate, but as their manager and friend. EXCEPT. hiyori right now isn't in her role as their manager. she's playing the mob girl who eventually becomes the princess. she's in the place of julieta herself. hence her words: she's just a mob character, someone in the background not meant to be noticed, just as it is in reality, so being treated kindly by lipxlip's prince selves is more than a little jarring.

分かってても照れちゃうの (wakattetemo terechau no) -> i know this, still, it's so embarassing

絶対からかってる (zettai karakatteru) -> they're definitely teasing me!

あっちいけ (acchi ike) -> get away from me!

continuation of the previous lyrics: hiyori is well aware of how lipxlip are really like, she knows they're not these princes and you would know that as well because i've repeated it god knows how many times. that's why she feels embarassed, the kindness of the princes of east and west may not be fake, but the princes themselves are. knowing this, it's definitely not real, right? once again, she falls into the dilemma: aizo and yujiro are definitely not romeo. they aren't the princes who these julieta see them as. but right now, she isn't with aizo and yujiro, is she? she's with the gallant and charming princes whose whole purpose is to woo the hearts of thousands. she's not their manager right now, she's a mob girl who gains the fancy of the princes while stumbling around with her groceries. so this is what every other girl who loves lipxlip sees. oh, did i mention they're really sparkly? oh. wait. no. JUST GO AWAY ALREADY!!

セコいよ！セコい！セコすぎる！！(sekoi yo! sekoi! seko sugiru!) -> that's sly! so petty! it's cheap and crafty!!

責任取る気もないくせに！(sekinin toru ki mo nai kuse ni!) -> you won't even take responsibility!

again, repetitive adjectives, etc. セコい is the root word here, meaning sly and crafty, which hiyori uses to refer to her idols over and over again. she's really dishing it out. as for the second line, she's once again speaking of how lipxlip — and idols as a whole — always have people falling for them yet they have no responsibility to return that love. it's a very warped point of view, because hiyori is holding the love fans have for their idols in the same standard as a normal love. i mean, i get it. she doesn't have a lot of good examples of fans who DON'T have parasocial relationships with their oshi (cough. chuutan. cough) once again, she pins the blame on aizo and yujiro, who she has described multiple times in the song as people who are deceptive, and are fooling their fans. of course, this emotional response isn't unwarranted, because hiyori is starting to understand what those julieta feel, she's been in the position of them for more than half this song. she KNOWS how easy and wonderful it feels to fall for a sparkly, beautiful idealization and she knows just as much how easy and painful it feels for that illusion to shatter.

強いよ！強い！強すぎる！！(tsuyoi yo! tsuyoi! tsuyo sugiru!!) -> so powerful! too potent! it's incredibly strong!!

計算？　すなわち“アイドル力” (keisan? sunawachi “aidoru ryoku”) -> calculating? ...is the “power of idols”

i'm just gonna guess she's describing their pheromones in the first line bc it's rly funny. anyway, let's focus on the second line. hiyori calls idols, lipxlip specifically, calculating, but then she balks and realizes this is the true idol power: how to make people fall for them without revealing their true nature. how to have people constantly supporting them for the illusion of a mutual love. as a julieta, as someone who supports lipxlip, it's a lot to say idols are tricking you, that what they see is nothing more than an illusion. but as lipxlip's manager, she understands, or at least she should, that this is just how idols are.

マジ悔しいけど… (maji kuyashii kedo...) -> it's so frustrating but...

みんなと一緒トキメクじゃん/// (minna to issho ni tokimeku jan///) -> i'm just as excited as everyone else///

now, once again, hiyori wakes up. back to being lipxlip's classmate and manager, no longer the part-time mob girl and full-time julieta. this is a bit of a realization moment for hiyori. throughout the whole song, she's gone through a variety of emotions — she goes from feeling like she's being deceived by lipxlip just like everyone else to understanding that these idols are still human to thinking that the idols profit off their fans' parasocial love, without even trying to return their feelings. she's twisted between the letting herself fall for the illusion of being loved by two beautiful princes or waking up with the recollection of lipxlip's true selves. these idols aren't perfect, and unlike everyone else, she knows it, 100%. that makes it all the more frustrating, right? because these princes in her daydreams are ideal, but the idols of her reality aren't. but despite all the dilemmas she's experienced, all the resistance to the sparkles, she's just as happy to be fooled by the princes as everyone else.

誰でもできる事じゃないし (dare demo dekiru koto janai shi) -> this isn't something just anyone can do

絶対努力しないとだし (zettai doryoku shinai to da shi) -> you need to put in the effort and hardwork

選ばれし人間なんでしょ！？(erabare shi ningen nan desho!?) -> you must be the chosen one!?

あぁあああああ (A~aaaaaaa!)

and we're back to manager hiyori. the following lyrics are pretty easy to understand, it's the opposite of the rest of the mv. before, we were seeing hiyori in the place of a julieta, being wooed and loved by the princes of east and west. now, we see hiyori in the place of lipxlip's manager, and she sees the parts that she missed while looking only as a julieta. it's really freaking hard to be an idol. it's not always so sparkly and beautiful, it's not always being showered by affection from fans, these idols work hard to make their performances reach their audience's hearts. it's not just something that can be started and ended, it's not just about making people fall in love, because...

these fans are choosing to support their oshi. they're choosing to love their idols. they're enjoying being treated like princesses, even if it's an impossible, parasocial love. that's what it means to support an idol.

and the chorus repeats, this time, with both the princes holding hiyori. she sings the first chorus: idols really are so unfair! they're can't even be held responsible for the people who fall in love with them. idols really are so sly! they're cunning, but that's exactly an idol's power! and then, hiyori wakes up. she wakes up to her reality of lxl, not as the ideal princes, but the idols she's responsible for. the heroine and her idols (badum tss) . but there's a key difference, the way inori minase sings the final part: still, it can't be helped, that's just how it is! she's happy! she wakes up from her daydream, and she's happy! lxl are a little freaked out, but their manager is happy! why? because she's gotten over her dilemma from before, is it real? is it fake? are you really supposed to fall in love with idols? she's accepted that the princes in her daydreams are part of the illusion, and just like everyone else, she's charmed by their beauty and perfection too. but reality is nothing like that, aizo and yujiro are nothing like that. but the sparkly illusion is still fun to enjoy, isn't it? even if she knows the reality behind it.

that's what idols are meant for, after all.

in conclusion: i won't try to dissuade anyone from thinking this song is romantic by nature, that's on you and your preferences, i won't even try. but from the lyrics' perspective and my own, the song is about love, yes, just as all the omoi ai songs are about a person's thoughts on love. this is hiyori's thoughts on the difference between the love between a fan and an idol, and romantic love. if you've ever met hiyori, you know her mind runs on shoujo manga stereotypes. she has always been looking for her prince. she's found them in different forms in her songs: asuka's kindness, nagisa's genuineness, and in this song, the princes of east and west's affection. but hiyori herself knows well enough to break this illusion. personally, for the most part of this song, hiyori's words felt hypocritical to me. she criticized idols who made their fans fall in love with them, despite knowing this was an idol's job. this was their goal in the first place. in the end, she does realize that it's simply like that. and she learns to separate her views on lipxlip's idol selves and their real ones. whether you perceive them as romantic or not, i will never deny that hiyori's unwavering support for lipxlip as idols, and her friendship with aizo and yujiro, is one of the most important facets of her character. in simpler terms, this was a song about hiyori coming into terms with being both lipxlip's manager, aizo and yujiro's friend, and a julieta, through and through.

Le drapeau japonais Il est composé d'un rond rouge sur un fond blanc En japonais, il est souvent appelé hinomaru 日の丸 ひのまる hi no maru qu'on peut traduire par disque solaire Le nom plus officiel du drapeau est Nisshôki 日章旗 にっしょうき qu'on peut traduire par drapeau japonais En fait en japonais le soleil n'est pas jaune mais plutôt rouge! Et donc le rond rouge sur le drapeau représente un soleil et symbolise ainsi la déesse du soleil Amaterasu. Amaterasu est la fille du dieu Izanagi qui est l'un des dieux qui créa le Japon selon le Kojiki. Et selon la croyance shinto, Amaterasu est l'ancêtre de tous les empereurs japonais. Le soleil est donc un élément important au Japon. Il est même dans le nom du Japon en japonais!

今日は北九州と福岡市へお礼参り🙏🏻⛩️

去年の冬の無職期間中は 「何とかなりますように🙏🏻」 なんて漠然とした願い事ばかり祈願しておきながら、現在の職場に来て１度もお礼の参拝をしていないのを思い出した私💧 現在の職場に来て１年経過してしまいましたが、遅いお礼参りに⛩️

また、タイムリーにJR九州の１日乗車券を頂いたので(しかも期限が来月末❕)、これは行くしかない！と週末は晴れの天気予報だった今日、決行しました。

博多駅のホーム移動中、最終到着地が"新たな人生"😲！？

ななつ星、おそらく私は一生乗車することがない乗り物のひとつだと思います…苦笑

私が待っているホームの向かいにななつ星が停車していました👑 この後、特急みどり号とハウステンボス号が目の前に停車したので見えなくなってしまいましたが、早速珍しいものを見ました。

私は勿論、上に表示されている快速に乗車します。

特急ソニックは追加料金600円で乗車できて40分で小倉に到着、快速は1時間10分で小倉に到着。 30分の差をどうしようか考えましたが、こんなことでもないと各駅電車に乗らないからと、普通電車にしました。

10:56　小倉駅に到着。

因みに、車内は多かったですが、ホームで先頭に並んでいたので無事に着席できました。

小倉の改札口を出たら、ちょうどモノレールが停車していました。

小倉駅すぐにあるセントシティにある華州苑でlunch🏢

以前はコレット井筒屋という屋号(コロナ前)の頃に何度か訪問した以来の訪問でした。

海老チリ定食にしました🦐

口コミで中華だけど油切りにこだわっているから、油っぽくなくて食べやすいとのことでしたが、付いてきた鶏の唐揚げもサクサクしてジューシー💕

店員さんも優しくて良かったけれど、女性オーナーらしき方の接客の塩対応が残念。

セントシティ屋上(12階)に瘡守(かさもり)稲荷神社本社というものがありましたので、せっかくだから参拝してきました🙏🏻

ちょうど同じビルにGUがあるので、前から気になっていたフレアのジーンズを試着。私もようやくSサイズが入りました✨😭今持っているデニムは一昨年の暮れから減量したときにゆるゆるになり、部屋の隅に置かれています👖 しかし、足の長さはどうしようもなく、150cmも満たない私には裾が余り過ぎます😢 そしたら、店員さんがオンライン限定で丈短めのフレアジーンズがあることや 私の自宅の最寄りの店舗とかも教えてくれたり😊 店員さんも優しくて押し売りの雰囲気が無かったのも🙆‍♀️

※GUのオンラインサイトより モデルさんが着用すると格好いいけれど、私が着用するとね…汗

小倉駅のホームに戻る途中、アミュプラザ小倉の中にeteも見に行くことに🚶‍♀️

金属高騰の影響かプラチナや18金のジュエリーが少なくなっていて、樹脂やコットンのコードのネックレスなど、私の好みとは違う…。 私が気に入って買ったプラチナジュエリーの中には廃盤になったものもあって…泣

金属アレルギー持ちなのと、メンテナンスが楽なプラチナが好きなんだけど… 18金のピンクゴールドとホワイトゴールドはアレルギー反応が出かかったので、用途がかなり限定されてしまい、 18金のイエローゴールドは私が着用すると成金の人にしか見えなくて…。 (なので、イエローゴールドは持っていません)

とにかく、今日はお礼参り。気を取り直して電車で次なる目的地へ向かいます。

Bring the snow! ❄️

7 years ago today, I sang the theme song to the animated feature film ‘Moomins and the Winter Wonderland’. I adore the Moomins so it was a great honour to sing both the English & Japanese versions.

I also did the voice-acting for the red squirrel!

2017.12.2

7年前の今日、大好きな#ムーミン の世界で歌わせて頂きました。ムーミン愛が監督に伝わったのか、映画『ムーミン谷とウィンターワンダーランド』ではなんと英語版と日本語版の両方のテーマ曲が採用されました。

初めて#声優 も務めさせて頂いた作品。赤いリス役です🐿️

最近フランスで雪が降ったので正に「Bring the Snow」でした！❄️

Il y a 7 ans, j'ai chanté la chanson-thème du dessin animé "Les Moomins attendent Noël" en anglais et en japonais. C'était un grand honneur car je suis une grande fan des #Moomins !

J'ai aussi doublé l'écureuil rouge dans le film ! 🐿️

J’ai filmé cette vidéo en France l’autre jour ! ❄️🇫🇷

Version en Noir et Blanc,

花嫁人形という歌をご存知ですか？

「金襴緞子（きんらんどんす）の帯しめながら、花嫁御寮（ごりょう）は何故泣くのだろ」が歌い出しの日本の抒情歌で、今からちょうど100年前の大正12年に発表された曲だそうです。

金襴緞子と華やかで美しい織物のことで高価で綺麗な織物のことを表します。

大事な娘が花嫁さんとなり、嫁いで行く際に最高のコンディションで送り出した証なのでしょうね。
