My name is Yosuke Iima.
I have received an excellence award at the Mainichi Shimbun’s calligraphy exhibition and a prize of excellence at the Kobe Shimbun’s book report contest.
Like the 7 Samurai chosen by Goldman Sachs, the 25 people I respect are.
That’s really just a part of it.
iima → A break between meals. When I was in middle school, I really hated my last name and had a complex about it, but mealtime is when we satisfy one of the three basic human needs—the appetite, right? I think people release adrenaline while they’re eating. The site name (renalinead7=ad7+renaline) is a portmanteau derived from “adrenaline”.
Of the three basic human needs—two of which are the desire to eat and the desire to sleep—I make a point of enjoying delicious meals and getting plenty of rest every day. Since two of the three basic needs are being met, I think that in itself is a cause for happiness. You only live once, so stay healthy.
Something that really struck me recently was how, when I put on the Umekita Ren lounge wear and lay down in the free space, I fell asleep in an instant. My favourites are the loungewear from Umekita Ren and the pyjamas from Gunze. I feel as though the quality of my sleep has improved.
I have been doing this since I graduated from Kwansei Gakuin University. Due to my work, this is a weekend blog. I was going to keep my profile as minimal as possible (no face, minimal) because I didn’t want to be a victim of cyber bullying, but I got a lot of emails asking me to tell more about my profile, I’m showing my face on Pinterest and WhatsApp. I can’t say any more than that, as it involves privacy.
