This happened in San Diego, California, USA.
Before that, I lived in Japan for a short time. During that time, my mother-in-law became terminally ill, and we returned to Los Angeles, where my wife's family lives. Due to various sudden events, we returned to the US with NO PLAN.

When you ask what Americans are like, they are truly diverse, and generalization is impossible. Just like in any country, there are amazingly good people and bad people. However, looking at them through my hazy eyes as a foreigner, I certainly see a 'certain color' there.

Seriously, I worked hard, I did my best! So there was a time when I wanted to believe, 'What I do and think has value.'
(Just writing this makes me feel tired...)

Bank robbers in comedies wear ski masks and commit daring crimes.
"Hey! Give me the money!"
When I see this, I sometimes think it's quite ironic.
Because, you know, it's thanks to the mask that they can perform such "daring acts".

Pyramids are amazing. Each direction is perfect, the adhesive for the stones is still unknown, and there's a lot of other mysterious engineering. Could intelligent beings beyond the speed of evolution on Earth at the time have contributed to that technology? Aliens??? It's interesting to think about.

Some people say you can buy freedom with money. Some people enjoy making money. I think that's fine. But the idea that you can't be free without money feels strange.
What are you going to do with money?

I've realized something over time.
My roller coaster is going down. At this time, I was in the front row, losing my creative direction. Voices from those around me faded. It's been a long descent.

I go to dance school every night. It's my first time. I'm dancing house. lol lol
I've never learned to dance. It's completely different from dancing freely, and to be honest, it's difficult. The tempo and steps don't match at all. If you step one bit out of place, it's fatal and can lead to irreparable consequences. Scary.

The one Tom Cruise rode in Top Gun. Yes, that GPZ900 was my first training bike, my first motorcycle. It was so cool. I felt like I was in the theme song, "Danger Zone" lol. (By the way, the illustration is a GPZ900 drawn with my left hand.)
When I lived in Los Angeles, in a large parking lot late at night when no one was around, yes, the road was shiny and it looked like the DeLorean from Back to the Future was about to appear... that kind of parking lot. There, I rode on my friend's GPZ and practiced.

The photo is of the NYC subway I visited in 2011. What I learned here was the attitude of 'not minding my own business'. People suddenly start playing the trumpet in the car, people start rapping, not only are there a variety of visuals to choose from, but the types of sounds are also diverse.

It's not quite 'Fall down seven times, get up eight,' but maybe this is around my fifth 'get up,' haha. Something new I tried got selected. I'm happy. I'll tell you more about the work and the exhibition later.
When I give my all, I always feel a pang when I'm not selected. But I don't reflect. It's meaningless. Meeting the right people is the only way to get selected (if you give your all, that is).
A camera I received. It has a cap commemorating the Los Angeles Olympics. How many years has it been since then?
When I opened it, the seal was tattered and light was leaking through. So I researched how to replace the seal and learned about it. I also researched how to clean the lens.
