20200612 Ishida Sui the NEET

Super Ishida Sui is now Ishida Sui the NEET (his words, not mine).

Btw TLs might come out later than usual for the next couple months since I’m busy with clinicals and I’m more or less exhausted most days of the week. Bear with me 🙏

Translated from Ishida’s side twitter (1/2):

I'm more or less unemployed now. If I'm not pressed for time, I end up lazing around like I've been doing so far.
I'm thinking of playing something with my friends. I'm also considering fun stuff I can do with everyone. And I'm kinda interested in streaming my drawings. Everyone's on YouTube these days, ya know.
Anyways, let me think over it more.
Oh yeah, a bunch of characters' birthdays have passed by. Thanks so much...
I've received them all!!

A comment to Ishida, and Ishida’s reply (1/2):

Commenter:
Please, I want to see you play Painting Forest with Hanae-kun (lol).
Ishida:
Painting Forest? Does a forest like that even exist? I'll check it out.
[T/N: Commenter is referring to Animal Crossing (literally Animal Forest in Japanese). Hanae Natsuki has an ACNH playthrough on his YT channel, and a good chunk of his island and the group games he plays with other streamers features Ishida’s paintings of Hanae lol. I honestly recommend watching it, a good chunk of his streams are subbed in English so it’s accessible, plus it’s hella entertaining.]

Almost feels like the SUPER ISHIDA SUI account is his personal account, and sotonami his “official one.”

Tweet #1 (X):

I reported before that JJ had 140 stills [illustrations], but after closely checking the script I found out that it was actually 164 stills.
I'm almost done with my assigned work, so I'm thinking of supervising and maybe going over the script in detail.
After, I might work on additional drawings I want to tweak. (See below, picture showing the same scene)

Tweet #2 (X):

I'm drawing everything in the scene including the backgrounds by myself, but I thought that in order to improve my still-drawing skills, a "lack of resistance" to a certain task might be important.
= no longer a hassle
If you're painting 160 colour illustrations, drawing the background doesn't feel like such a hassle anymore.
[In other words, he’s basically forcing himself to draw the backgrounds so he can get better and hate doing it less as a result.]

Tweet #3 (X):

I was drinking together with others from home so I looked for a glass, but I didn't have one.
I used a tumbler that I normally use (a gift from a reader), but I still wanted to see the liquid as it's being poured into a transparent glass. My home doesn’t really have a suitable environment for drinking.
So I bought this.

Tweet #4 (X):

I was torn between the tumbler and a mug with a doughnut handle, but neither are transparent.
The doughnut one, by the way, came from a reader who likes Amon-kun. (It's cute.)

I’m always asleep whenever he tweets...boo for time differences 😭 Included some relevant comment chains, the commenter is in italic font while Ishida’s responses are regular font.

Translated from Ishida’s side twitter (1/2/3/4):

I want to confirm the inevitability of me creating a story about comparing self against the world.
I want to properly prepare for it if I do so again. And if I'm making preparations, I want to undertake the research necessary.
I've already accepted the current circumstances, and will make assumptions for it until next time.
I think I've said it before, but I wonder if the world will gradually adapt to this situation and be able to create new jobs and services and such.
I pondered over it yesterday while I was watching Mikasano's YouTube stream yesterday.
I wouldn't exactly call it progress, but I've thought about the title of the manga, the general setting, the pattern of combinations for a few characters (for instance, boss and subordinate, partners, 3-person party, 4-person party...), and an overarching structure of about 15 volumes worth.
This is what’s on my mind.
As for how I'm doing, I've been quietly working on my part for JJ.
It's on display somewhere* if you want to see what it looks like so far...

[T/N: I’m assuming he means the Jack Jeanne gallery here.]

Comment chain #1 (X):

I personally thought you'd try not to get too involved with the world [events]... But I'd love to see a story about "self versus the world!" Please take care not to get too consumed by it 🙏🥺
So that's what you're thinking...! Whenever I create something I'm constantly thinking about the world [events], it's just I usually don't get anxious about it...
I'm sure you watch the news, but I just thought you had no interest in it since I never saw any reactions to world events...that's what I thought.

Comment chain #2 with Mikasano Chuuji, the scriptwriter for the TG anime. Actually, I don’t wanna do the entire conversation since it’s too long but I’ll include this bit from Ishida (X):

At the same time, I came up with all sorts of wild ideas, like an ultra social distance theatre that can be enjoyed with a telescope and earphones, or livestream improv channels.

Comment chain #3 (X):

Can you give even just a single letter of the title lool
“X”

[T/N: So that’s why his side account is sotonamix lol]

Translated from Ishida’s twitter (X):

I drew the cover for TK (from Ling Tosite Sigure)'s album, "Sainou"!
...and I'm scared to say this, but I was also involved in writing the lyrics to one of the songs.
The song was produced for the Tokyo Ghoul anime separately from "katharsis".
Piano is played by Miku-chan of Cö shu (Nie)! The title is identical to the album, "Sainou"...Sui*!

T/N: A pun lol.

Sainou isn’t an actual word, but if I had to translate it, it would be...Kaleidoscopic Brain/Mind? Prismatic Brain/Mind? You can get the idea based off the cover art.

Regarding more info about the song collab, the full title of the song is “Sainou -Sui Side”, and it was one of the final candidates for the TG:re anime’s OP song.

◎ Jack Jeanne boyaki*
At the boys-only Univers Revue Academy, the protagonist Tachibana Kisa hides her gender and enrolls in the school.
There is one girl who knows Kisa's secret, and that is Akane Ao-chan, her friend from middle school who’s concerned about her in a good way.
Tachibana Kisa (right) Akane Ao (left)

T/N: Ishida mentioned that boyaki is a Univers speciality and the name of the mochi/dango-like things on a stick that Kisa and Ao-chan are eating.

Translated from Ishida’s twitter (X):

◎ Costume fitting for the rookie performance At Univers Opera School where JJ is set, 5 performances (revues) are held: rookie (spring), summer, fall, winter, and Univers.
The students train every day for these performances.
So, we will also be writing the entire scripts for these performances. We are in the middle of preparing the real scripts for these 5 performances.

Another tweet related to the one above (X):

(Can't we just use this...?)
"Seriously?" Even I was thinking that, but a bunch of things happened and here we are.
But as a result, the songs for the performances became really great, and since it was also directly related to the story, I'm very glad I decided to do it.
I really wrote like an amateur, but I had fun.

The second tweet has more explanation in Ishida’s note from the New Year which I’m still working on, but due to various reasons Ishida ended up writing and recording a bunch of songs (17 songs in 3 days, whew) for the voice actors to do during auditions.

A series of Ishida’s tweets from today, all connected.

First tweet (X):

Today is the voice recording for JJ's redhead (Suzu-kun), so I will be taking a day trip from Fukuoka to Tokyo and back. I'm going to meet Uchida Yuuma-kun...
At the Fukuoka Airport, I saw students going on a school field trip. I wanna go too...

Second tweet (X):

As I was returning from my business trip in Tokyo, on the way to the airport the taxi got lost and I wasn't sure if I'd make it, but I somehow arrived at Terminal 2 even though I was supposed to go to Terminal 1, while running to the right terminal I banged my right elbow, and later I got the boarding gate wrong, but made it to the right gate just before it closed, but after that I safely boarded the plane.

Third tweet (X):

Uchida Yuuma-kun’s voice was amazing...

Translated from Ishida’s twitter (X):

◎ Regarding the JJ script
For everyone who's asking, "All the illustrations are being drawn by Ishida, but what about the script!?", the script is also being done by Ishida and co. (Hence why illustration progress has been so slow.)
I've also been helping with writing the dialogue and such while meeting up with the writer Towada-san.
For those who are who are interested in seeing the entire world of JJ, once again please check it out ☣️

Translated from Ishida’s twitter (X):

◎ You may have been able to guess this by now, but I am doing both the line drawing and colouring for every illustration in the game by myself (139 left to go).
〆 The deadline is mid-March... This is the level of quality so far.
To everyone who will be playing Jack Jeanne. If the faces start getting messier as you get closer to the end...this will be why.

Translated from Ishida’s twitter (X):

Happy New Year!
2020 is the year Jack Jeanne will be released. If you'd like to get it, August 5th is the release date...
*Contains Ishida's illustrations* Nintendo Switch Lite 100 units present campaign (Write down one character that you desire.)

Translated from Ishida’s twitter (1/2/3):

The new JJ information on Onyx came out while I was holed up with work...! I'm glad the cast members could also respond to it 💮
I also got to choose the voices of the minor characters after listening to them, so I believe they're perfect for their roles. (By the way, Ishiya Haruki who is playing Nagayama also played Kuroiwa Takeomi in TG...)
I want to draw everyone in Onyx when I've got spare time from work... I'll draw them if I have time...
Also, I was in Tokyo very recently to listen to the post-recordings of the main characters for the first time. Everyone was very cute. They were all amazing.
Kishio Daisuke, who plays Neji, left saying, "I'm so happy..." So cute~
Recently I've been sooooo busy working around 40 hours a day,
So the things that I usually make and post will be handled by 🥦 staff on the JJ account. Please take a look if you're interested.
For the time being, I'll deliver power from deep underground and make art materials, special illustrations, written excerpts and the like.
