kids on the slope (2012) dir. shinichiro watanabe, MAPPA/tezuka productions

episodes 2, 4, and 9 prominently feature miura catholic church in sasebo, nagasaki, where mangaka yuki kodama was born and raised. the series ends at kuroshima church in the kujūku islands, designed by a priest of the paris foreign missions society and consecrated in 1902, just three decades after meiji lifted the tokugawa ban on christianity. in interior scenes, the stained glass is remarkably accurate for both churches.

from kaoru and sentarō's love of jazz; sentarō and ritsuko's catholicism; and the constant, peripheral presence of U.S. navy sailors, including anti-imperialist student (zenkyōtō) protests in sasebo's port; kids on the slope is, besides a homoerotic slice of life, a carefully observed snapshot of cold war japan and the dynamic, multivalent culture unique to nagasaki, in motion since the region's first contact with portuguese and dutch traders in the 16th century.

We were in Sasebo. None of the bars opened till around 8 or 9 pm, and we had to be back on ship by 11. So we got a few beers at a 7 Eleven and stood in an alleyway.

personal

I've been concerned about how I would make ends meet while attending college full-time online for my game development education ever since I left the military. It has affected my motivation to work on a lot of the things I want to complete on my own time and I have had to struggle with what I would consider normal depression.

It's nice to have my wife and I live in our own house in Japan. She has shown me such incredible support, and I am grateful to her for everything she does for me and the life we share.

It's challenging to learn a second language, and I believe that one-on-one instruction would be more effective than reading books alone. I've tried watching TV with her, and it kind of helps, but I've since discovered that it could take up to 9 years to become proficient in speaking Japanese.

I'm also having trouble finding any worthwhile work here. I've thought about creating jewelry or other crafty items, like furniture, now that I have a home in which to do so. But I don't have the right equipment or knowledge.

Finding my life's purpose is extremely challenging because, I swear, everything is begging for your attention. I really wish I could sit down and read a book from beginning to end like some people, but I am constantly distracted by the minute details on a particular page and never manage to finish a book. I do, however, take a lot of notes that, I'm sure, will be useful at some point, but I also understand that perhaps I'm just enjoying the experience of learning something new.

however, consider this. My inability to consistently put what I've learned into practice has seriously hampered my productivity.

I have a lot of admiration for those who describe step-by-step how they would design and produce a fantastic product that would then be bought or used. I enjoy creating illustrations and designs that could be printed on clothing, but I'd also like to create brief videos that provide detailed explanations in the future.

I believe that a lot of my problems from decreased productivity can be fixed with planning. I just prefer to deal with uncertainty, and I really dislike devoting a portion of my day to a task that I know will probably be difficult for me.

I understand that learning the proper questions to ask is a good way to accomplish things, but I feel as though I'm even losing that ability. I find it truly amazing that we have access to so much information thanks to technology, but it also demotivates me when I realize that my issue is not particularly unique, and I end up feeling foolish for having even considered trying to solve it.

As a result, I'm left to struggle while daydreaming of creating something amusing and original while realizing that the process is incredibly challenging to implement. I'm also left to figure out how to realize my ambitious goals on my own.

I want to create something that is heartfelt, educational, fun, and meaningful. I don't know how I managed to spend the last 12 years of my life avoiding this extremely challenging task that I now have to complete. But after all, isn't that the essence of a good independent developer? The hard work and grind required to produce something that few people can claim to be capable of while being a marvel of success?

My family and friends are both very much missed. But I dont wanna burden them with my woes. so whenever I end up meeting someone that has the same interests as I do I often hang on every word in my mind.

I appreciate the time people spend with me, and I make an effort to have meaningful conversations with them—sort of like a parable without the religious overtones. #devlog #expat #sasebo
