A person from the melodic hardcore boom generation who loves music, photography, and eating. I’ve been going to live houses for over 20 years. I’m at the age where summer festivals are starting to feel tough physically. I sometimes try shooting live photos and videos for MVs. I’m not great at English, so I often listen to straightforward Japanese rock that hits directly, but if someone recommends something, I’ll listen to anything—Western or Japanese—broadly and casually. I like cooking while listening to music; it’s a nice way to relieve stress.

Finger Smash

The game known as “Yubi-suma,” whose name is said to have become widespread thanks to the variety show SMAP×SMAP, has long been played by children under names like “Issē no se” or “Issē no de,” so many people may have heard of it in their childhood.

All participants form a circle and extend both fists in front of them so that thumbs can be raised.

In time with a chant, players call out how many thumbs in total they think will be raised among all participants.

If a player’s prediction is correct, they lower one fist; the person left with a fist at the end loses.

With these simple rules, it’s a handy party game you can play anytime.
