On the next day after the screening, I went to the strip-show club, the shooting location of Hotaru, and found out it was being torn down.



 sat down and thought back the past under the beautiful afternoon light.
I started designing Hotaru at this place ten years ago.
I was the only female gazing at the stage.
The dancers must've found this female guest weird,
but welcomed me into their dressing room because of my earnest gaze, perhaps.
Everyone was so kind.
And they had many stories on themselves.
That was a time in the past.
But it's not here now.
And never comes back.
That's why things are gone.
And there begin new things.



From here once again.
Never be forgotten.
