#140 Collecting things I love led me to find myself. ~Yuru-Rakugo, songwriting, and being a spiritual Behoimi-spell caster~

I stepped up to the microphone while the excitement of the event was still fresh.

Zakkoku-san attended the recent Yuru-Rakugo Daikanshasai. After experiencing so much laughter and being energized there, they are truly savoring the happiness of having things they love. Their passion is so intense that they even wrote a song for the event. The joy of having something you can be passionate about really shines through.

Discovering a surprising side of myself through my first attempt at songwriting.

While currently working on a song for the upcoming Yadofes 2026, Zakkoku-san is trying their hand at writing lyrics for the first time in their life. As they searched for words, they realized that they aren't the type to be in the spotlight, but rather someone who acts as a spiritual Behoimi-spell caster, casting recovery magic from right beside others. They describe the process of gradually unraveling who they are by brainstorming with AI.

Talking about the gratitude for being saved by podcasts.

Zakkoku-san shares that, much like the listeners, they have also been saved by radio and podcasts when their own HP feels drained from daily work. While mentioning specific programs, they reveal the thoughts behind why they continue to broadcast. There is much more to this deep conversation, so please be sure to listen to the full episode.
