Good morning. This is Arashi's Ohno Satoshi.
Here's today's thought of the day; come on!

"几帳面/kichōmen/(methodical, punctual)"

[BGM 'Tooku Made']

Ohh. That's all it says. 'Methodical'. I see. Of course I know this one!
This is a lovely Japanese word that means to do things to perform everything in a detailed manner or to deal with things in a way that punctually fulfils arrangements or promises.

Yeah. 'Methodical'. The word is great too, huh? I'm not real methodical. The other day when I went back to my parents' house, my mum told me, "Why've you become so sloppy?"

"Eh?"

"In the past, whenever your clothes had stains from a meal or whatever, you'd immediately go and change. You were more sensitive. More methodical. And now you're like this! Forever wearing ratty t-shirts..."

"It's fine!"

I mean, I do change when I get dirty! Mm. So like, that's still a thing. I just got less sensitive to the details. Even though I'm blood type A. That A-type factor's gone.

So like, I guess maybe it's just in art where my methodical traits are strongest? I used to be pretty broad and sketchy in the way I drew, but I gradually became more methodical when I really threw myself into it. Like when I started doing lots of dots, I started to get more detailed. So maybe it's just the old Ohno Satoshi showing? Yeah.

But well, I think my methodical side's gonna gradually disappear, (laughs) so I'm gonna pay more attention to that!

That's all; this was Ohno Satoshi!

Thanks for your patience! Got distracted by 24HTV and things through the rest of August... I'm clearly not very methodical ^^;
