Going to Mechademia 2026 in Singapore to give a presentation on The Summer Hikaru Died. I need to do power writing this week.

If any postdoc scholars in film studies are interested in applying for a JSPS position and looking for a host institution, I’m happy to take a role of a host scholar at Kanazawa University. www.jsps.go.jp/english/e-in...

Just received a copy of The Edinburgh Companion to Queer Reading. While my first book employed queer reading as a core methodology, since I’ve been slacking off theoretical updates, I hope this book will help me think better and more deeply.

I miss Kyoto already.

Going to Kyoto for a book talk event. It’s been so long since the last ride on Thunderbird that I almost forgot how much I liked looking at the sceneries through the big window on Thunderbird.

I don’t know what advice to give to graduate students who don’t work part-time and socialize with other students while complaining how their poor financial conditions take away their attention from research and how they don’t have friends.

This weekend, I’ll be charing a panel “Texts in Arts: Politics, Society, and the City in Colonial and Contemporary Taiwan” at ASCJ at Sophia University. ascjapan.org/wp-content/u...

Now flying out from Komatsu to Haneda and then to Chicago!

Why do I always find interesting previous studies a few days before the conference presentation? Getting ready for SCMS2025, but not ready yet at all.

金沢生活4年5ヶ月目。能登半島地震から1年1ヶ月が経ちました。ムフフ校務が本格化しますが、原稿1本と本の原稿、学会準備に力を入れます。エヴァ2号機のプラモデルとミニ四駆、宅トレ用シューズを買いたい。今月は『ユリイカ』自炊特集にも寄稿予定です。映画もゲームも楽しみたい。

あと4000字も書けるのか、これ...

月曜日に発売です。僕は『ペイン・アンド・グローリー』について書いています。

『劇場版　孤高のグルメ』と『敵』を予約した。

自炊の論考、締め切りまで3日に迫ってまだ何も大したものを書けていない。

ジークアクスって英語で書くとこんな表記なんや。おもろいな。『366日』とセットで観に行きますねん。

Going to see Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX this afternoon since one of my seminar students will give a presentation on it tomorrow. www.gundam.info/feature/gquu...

I contributed a chapter to the latest issue of Eureka on Pedro Almodovar. My chapter focuses on how the film Pain and Glory offers a way of queering pain as a creative force. www.seidosha.co.jp/book/index.p...

More books and articles to read as I prepare for a piece on Almodovar films.

原稿は書き始めたが、たぶん僕はアルモドバル映画と相性が良くない...。

I’m writing an introductory book to queer cinema for middle and high school students. Yesterday I had a chance to share the draft with my colleague at a bi-weekly tea party aka writing session. She asked me why I’m writing about “cinema” in this age. Why cinema? What a hard question.
