Before leaving for work, Fuka spent a few quiet minutes practicing yoga at home.
It has become one of her favorite ways to start the day, helping her feel more focused and relaxed before facing Tokyo’s busy routine.Here is the scene → [view post]
Later, during a conversation at the office, some of her colleagues became curious about the practice. Fuka happily shared her experience, explaining how yoga helps improve flexibility, concentration, and overall well-being.
It was a simple conversation, but perhaps one that inspired someone to try something new. 🧘♀️🌸✨
At the beginning of April 2026, Fuka‘s life was still filled with quiet days, work, friendships, and small everyday discoveries.
One morning, while on her way to work, her attention was caught by a large advertising poster displayed along a street in Tokyo. The poster announced an upcoming concert by Wednesday Campanella, one of the most original and popular musical groups in Japan.
When the day of the concert finally arrived, the girls found themselves immersed in a vibrant and colorful atmosphere. Surrounded by lights, music, and energy, they enjoyed an evening unlike their usual routine, swept away by the excitement of the crowd and the performance on stage.
After the concert ended, Fuka, Kyoka, and Sayuri began their journey home, chatting about their favorite songs and the highlights of the evening. That was when something unexpected happened.
Along a quiet side street, they came across a large mural that none of them remembered seeing before.
The image was difficult to describe. It did not appear threatening in the traditional sense, yet it carried an unsettling feeling. There was something about the artwork that seemed out of place—something that drew the eye while at the same time encouraging the viewer to look away. The three friends remained silent for a few moments before continuing on their way.
That night, Fuka found it difficult to get the image out of her mind.
Later that day, through the group chat she shared with Kyoka and Sayuri, she discovered that she was not the only one thinking about it.Her friends remembered the encounter just as clearly.
The conversation soon turned into an exchange of theories and questions. None of them had any answers, but they all agreed on one thing: the mural had left an impression that was difficult to ignore.Here is the conversation → [view post]
Without realizing it, the three friends had just encountered one of the first mysteries that would cross Fuka’s path in the months to come.
Wednesday Campanella has been one of my favorite Japanese music groups for many years. Including them in Fuka’s story was my way of paying tribute to a band whose music has accompanied me on countless occasions and continues to inspire me during the creative process of writing Fuka’s story.
The narrative phase began on March 28, 2026, with the publication of a simple sequence portraying a peaceful weekend in Fuka’s life.
On Saturday morning, Fuka met her friends Kyoka and Sayuri in central Tokyo. They did not have any particular plans; they simply wanted to spend a few hours together, strolling through the city and following their curiosity wherever it led them.
The three friends spent the morning browsing colorful shop windows and exploring busy stores. Sayuri, always energetic and spontaneous, was usually the first to stop whenever something caught her attention, while Kyoka carefully observed every detail with her more thoughtful nature. Fuka enjoyed following her friends, sharing laughter and lighthearted conversations along the way.
After several hours of shopping, they decided to stop for a meal together. Sitting around a table, they spent their lunch chatting without any hurry. It was precisely these simple moments, filled with friendship and serenity, that made the day special.
On Sunday, however, Fuka chose to spend some time enjoying a peaceful walk surrounded by nature.
For this reason, she visited Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden, one of Tokyo’s most beautiful parks. As soon as she passed through its gates, the fast pace of the city seemed to fade away, replaced by a calm and relaxing atmosphere.
Walking along the garden’s paths, Fuka admired the green trees, the carefully maintained lawns, and the many visitors enjoying the pleasant weather. Some walked slowly through the grounds, while others sat reading or resting beneath the shade of the trees. Everywhere, there was a comforting sense of peace.
During her walk, Fuka decided to take a short break. She found a bench in a quiet area of the garden and sat down to enjoy a simple onigiri she had brought with her. As she watched the scenery and the people passing nearby, she allowed herself to be immersed in the tranquil atmosphere of the park.
With this final moment of quiet reflection, the simple five-image sequence came to an end. It had been created to convey a feeling of happiness, harmony, and tranquility—capturing the beauty of an ordinary weekend in Tokyo.
