Headline: Happy New Year 2026! Progress, New Challenges, and Sincere Gratitude.
Hello everyone! 🙋♂️✨ It’s Sunday, 12:00 PM. This is massangoto! 🧑💻
First of all, I’m happy to report that my X (formerly Twitter) followers have reached 5,235! Thank you so much to everyone who follows me. I’m truly grateful! m(_ _)m
Happy New Year! I look forward to another year of connecting with all of you.
As the New Year's holidays come to an end, I looked at my calendar and saw three hospital visits scheduled. This year, my goal isn't just to suppress symptoms with medication, but to move toward true healing and recovery.
Since increasing my Rivotril dosage by 0.5 tablets (now 1.5mg), I haven’t experienced those "sleep-onset shocks" even once! It seems the slight increase was a good move. While I can’t let my guard down yet, I feel much more relieved. My family also seems to be doing well, which is another weight off my mind. I was also able to attend a Buddhist service (Gongyo-kai) instead of the traditional Hatsumode, where I prayed for 2026 to be a wonderful year for everyone.
Regarding my personal "experiment," I am now in the 7th week of Phase 2. Since it’s still early days, I know I need to stay patient. Significant results often appear after 3 to 6 months, or even a year. I’ll keep moving forward steadily so that one day I can share the results with you and hopefully provide a roadmap for others.
New Challenges: LINE Stickers & Creative Updates I’ve been using Google’s Gemini AI frequently, and last night, I had an idea: "Why not make LINE stickers?" I spent about two hours creating eight stickers and have already submitted them for approval! Since I spend most of my time at home, I’m exploring various ways to generate even a small income.
On a different note, due to circumstances, I’ve canceled my AI music composition subscription. It will be a while before I can create new music again. Despite that, I see people are still subscribing to my YouTube channel—thank you so much! Monetization is still a long way off, but I want to resume for the sake of those who support me.
Social Media Streamlining I’ve updated my website’s header to a beautiful image of a forest spring. Also, I’ve decided to "retire" from my Omikuji (fortune) blog. Having gone through all the fortunes, the content was becoming repetitive, so I felt it was time to wrap it up. From now on, I will focus my activities on:
GREE
YouTube
X (Twitter)
My Website (Blog)
I have retired from mixi and Facebook, and I do not use Instagram or TikTok.
I am deeply grateful to everyone involved in my life. Let’s make 2026 a great one!
That’s all for this week’s blog. See you next Sunday!
Wishing you a week of safety, success in business, and peace at home.
