Some prefectures like Gunma considers it as a kidnapper, a human trapper in Oita, while Ibaraki and Sado interpret it as "a fortune bringer," Niigata believes it as a transformation of an animal weasel🐿️

"Catalyst(日本語だと“触媒”ですけど、この場合は“転機、導火線、転換点”が伝わるかも)" is the crucial point where the protagonist "chooses his/her path on own"👟 Plan🤔 Do🫤 Check🧐 Action😤 "Abandon first" also works😁 Page 10, then nearly perfect🤩

The story progresses through a dog POV, and it perfectly UMAKUITTA(巧く行った=worked) under the tight structure(only 73min)⏰ clear character development🐶 and beautifully-crafted ZOTTOSASERU(ゾッとさせる=bone-chilling) shots😱 The aesthetic of an indie film🎬

6yrs ago, ROCKtober🎸 The band's 3rd in 27yrs astonished me with the great KONGOU(混合=mixture) of thrash, groove, and stoner🚬 From CHOUHAYAI(超速い=super fast) sonic attacks to YODONDA(淀んだ=doomy) twists, the album flows smoothly🏃‍♂️
