The limit of patience for the corona measures that do not show clear guidelines has already been exceeded, and normal days are slowly returning. be free of restrictions. Of course, that itself is welcome, but to be honest, we no longer know what the truth is in the Internet society where fiction and fact are entwined. In addition to that, Russia's invasion of Ukraine has continued to weaken the yen and raise prices. At a time like this, the ideal state should be to play the role of alleviating the anxiety of the people, even if only a little. and anger, and emptiness comes and goes.

The initial impulse has passed long ago, and they are innate artists who continue to express themselves despite facing their bare selves. These people have words that can only be built on the accumulated time. This is the word that has been lost in the instant era of instant consumption in the name of capitalism. It is good even if there is a distance from the trend. In an era where there are no trends, it is strange that only a few artists are in the spotlight, and only for a very short period of time. There are still other people with great talent. I think what this magazine should be responsible for is to shine a light on those people. This is the current issue that has been archived in this way.
