One day at Kabukicho #DAY116 - Eventually we went to the sushi restaurant again.

Around this time of last year, I was also taking photos on the ward office street here. Lately, I've been thinking about work all the time and feeling a bit tired, so it was comfortable and enjoyable to just take photos pushing those thoughts aside.

去年の今頃もここの区役所通りで写真を撮っていたなーなんて思い出しつつ。最近ずーっと仕事のことばっかり考えていてちょっと疲れちゃっていたから、そういうのを頭の中からほっぽり出してぼーっと写真を撮るのが心地よかった。

And here I was again at the sushi restaurant. Yes, the sushi restaurant I visited for the first time last week, "Uoshin". Because sushi I had last week was incredibly delicious... I only had 6 pieces of sushi and a cup of miso soup with seaweed, but the sushi toppings were incredibly thick as well as the last time and I got full with just those. Thanks for the meal.

そしてまたあのお寿司屋さんに来てしまった。そう、先週初めて来た『魚心』さん。あまりにも先週食べたお寿司がおいしすぎて・・・。お寿司6貫と海苔の味噌汁しか食べていないんだけど、相変わらずお寿司のネタがめちゃくちゃ分厚くってこれだけでおなかいっぱい。ごちそうさまでした。

Recently, there seem to be more shisha bars and places to enjoy shisha. I used to be interested in smoking shisha so much long time ago, but there weren't so many places to smoke it, so it was tough looking for where to smoke at that time. Though now I ended up to be not interested in it anymore.

最近シーシャバーとかシーシャ吸える場所ってすごいって増えたよなぁ。昔、すごいシーシャに興味があって吸ってみたかったんだけど当時はまだほとんどそういうお店がなくって吸える場所を探すだけで一苦労で。最近は全然興味なくなっちゃったんだけどね。

There's a security camera. There's a lot of security cameras everywhere in this city. Well, even in a seemingly risky city like this, I guess some level of safety is kept by the security cameras like this.

監視カメラがあるね。この街にはそこらじゅうに大量の防犯カメラがある。まあこんな危なそうな街でもこういう防犯カメラのおかげで多少は安全が保たれているんだろうな。

Lately I often see a lot of this type of bikes with extremely thick tires all over this city. They're electric-assisted bikes and they come at quite a speed, almost like scooters. I sometimes nearly get run over by them.

最近この手のタイヤのめちゃくちゃ太い自転車をこの街のそこらかしこで見かけるんだけど、電動アシスト付きの自転車で結構なスピードで走ってくるからもう原付とかと変わらないレベル。時々轢かれそうになるし。

Well, my recent news is... to be honest, I've just been letting myself get busy and to avoid thinking about things I'd rather not think about. Those are issues I can't avoid forever and I'll have to address them someday. But for now, I'm trying to dare to ignore all those matters at the moment. Otherwise, it's tough to keep myself mentally and physically well. It's like that now.

さて、最近の自分はというと・・・実は忙しさに身を任せるだけ任せちゃって、今は考えたくないこととかいろいろあっても考えないようにしている。本当は避けては通れないことだからいつかは考えなくちゃいけないんだけど。その辺の問題は全部先送り。じゃないと心身共に保たない。そんな感じ。

Despite being busy, I keep working on OSnine updates consistently. The reason for this isn't just for hobby purposes but also because there's another motive behind it. Creating something like OSnine is incredibly time-consuming and often involves dealing with complexities and challenges that I wouldn't encounter in my regular work. However, by consistently working on it, even if there's something so difficult or so challenging issues for other developers, I can cope with them easily. I want myself to be like that all the time, got it? I wonder to write this sort of things as another article when I have time.

あとは忙しいとはいえど OSnine のアップデートは絶えず続けている。というのもこの辺も趣味的な意味だけじゃなくて別にも理由があって、確かに OSnine みたいなものを作るのってとんでもなく手間がかかるし、普段の仕事ではやらないレベルのめんどくさかったり難しいことにもにしばしば直面する。ただそれを常に続けていることで仕事で他の人が難しいって感じるようなことでも個人的には全然余裕に感じたりできるんだよね。自分自身を常にそういう状態に置いておきたいっていうね。こういうことに関しては時間がある時にまた別の記事にしてみようかな。

I'm not sure what this place is, but could it be a drinks stand or something? Can we drink here standing? Or is it a pickup window for Uber Eats or something? Anyway, the lighting looks nice.

🇯🇵 日本語 / ja

よくわかんないけどここはドリンクスタンドかなにかなのかな?ここで立ち飲みできるとか?それともUber Eatsかなんかの商品受け渡し用の窓口?とりあえず照明がきれい。

Well, I'm going to Kabukicho, hang out with my friend and take photos. However, I have a lot of work to do other than those. So, what to do? However, there are plenty of other tasks I need to tackle besides that, so I have to figure out how to manage everything. Despite often being on the edge with tight schedules, I should be fine.

See you then.

さーて、この週末もまた歌舞伎町行って友達と遊んで写真撮るぞー。ただそれ以外にもやらなきゃいけない仕事もいっぱいあるぞー。どうしよっかなー。とか言いながら時間管理はある程度できているから大丈夫なはず。いつもギリギリだけどね。

ほなまた。
