Humanity does not become stronger when grievances compete. The answer to one form of identity politics is not another. The answer to exclusion is not reverse exclusion. A just society cannot be built upon the perpetual division of people into opposing categories, each demanding recognition at the expense of the other. What sustains a free and stable civilization is not the triumph of one identity over another, but the willingness to recognize the humanity that exists before identity. Law must remain equal. Justice must remain universal. And humanity must become audible again. We do not need more competing grievances. We need the courage to listen for the human being standing behind them.

人はしばしばコネクションだけを見る。 しかし、そのコネクションを可能にした長年の仕事にはなかなか目を向けない。

Human beingで通じる。

Humanity does not disappear when people stop talking about it. Humanity disappears only when nobody is willing to listen for it. The scholar who continues searching for care, dignity, justice, and sympathy is already acting on the belief that humanity still exists. The struggle is often not to create humanity, but to make it audible again. #JusticeBeginsWithCare

Humanity is not necessarily disappearing. It may simply be becoming harder to hear. Every serious act of scholarship, every attempt to understand care, justice, dignity, and human coexistence, is itself evidence that humanity remains alive. The difficulty is not always the absence of humanity. Sometimes it is the absence of structures capable of recognising it.

This victory belongs to all those who stood beside me and entrusted me to carry this struggle forward. For those who endured, for those who continued to live, and for the lives that must never be forgotten, I will continue this journey and carry this mission onward.

Recently, there has been a growing tendency among certain individuals to attempt to construct worlds centred solely around themselves, extending their influence without sufficient regard for the dignity, lives, and coexistence of others. I find this deeply concerning, particularly in a world where countless forms of life must continue to coexist. Each of us bears responsibilities within this shared world, and those responsibilities must be exercised with care for the dignity, peace, and coexistence of others, rather than in ways that undermine them. We do not exist apart from one another. We exist with one another, always. Therefore, I shall continue to address these matters so that this understanding may be recognised, and so that many may live with greater peace, stability, and reassurance through that recognition.

The Western hydrangea Sapphire Queen has flowered once again for the first time in four years. I cannot help but regard this symbolic blooming as something of a gift — perhaps offered to me, after more than half a century of struggle, whilst I continue to wait for truths that remain undisclosed to the public. My wish to return to the 🇬🇧 United Kingdom does not stem from any desire to abandon 🇯🇵 Japan. Rather, it is because I believe that the foundation necessary for me to fulfil my duties calmly, steadily, and with strength, exists there above all elsewhere. May tomorrow mark the beginning of a gentle and restorative week for each of you — with this Western hydrangea offered alongside my thoughts. #SapphireQueen #Hydrangea #QuietStrength #UK #JusticeBeginsWithCare

旧作から関わってくれてる方々には申し訳ないが、私は配役はまちがってなかったと思ってる。 「どうすればいいの…」そのセリフを再現できたのは他でもないこの人だと思ってる。 このセリフがハマらなかったら、降板だった。 今のうさぎがこのセリフを完璧に再現できるかは、正直申し訳ないけど疑問が残ってる。 クリスタル序盤から、旧作の時の声より無理してるように感じていたから。 それでも関わってくれた全ての人へ、ありがとう。 【劇場版「美少女戦士セーラームーンCosmos」】セーラーコスモス（cv北川景子）PV/《前編》絶賛上映中　《後編》6月30日(金) youtu.be/WMYidpmFpUc?si=Wyc3… @YouTubeより

今日は #ドイツビールの日 ＆ #ビールの日 🍺✨
1516年4月23日、ビールの品質を守るための法律「ビール純粋令」が制定されました🇩🇪 そんな記念日にちなんで、大使館職員に「好きなビール」を聞いてみました！🍻
お気に入りの一杯、ぜひコメントで教えてください😊

Declaration of Peace Peace is the foundation upon which all human dignity stands. It is neither conditional nor negotiable. All persons are equal in its light, and no power—whether by force, authority, or silence— may stand above the value of a human life. Where dignity is threatened, peace is not present. Where voices are silenced, justice has not yet begun. Therefore, I stand— as a living symbol of this principle: that peace must be upheld, protected, and lived. Not above others, but among them— bound by the same law, and unwavering in its defence. This is not a wish. This is a declaration.

I hereby affirm my commitment to remain a symbol of peace.

When I first entered this world, many welcomed my life and said that it was good that I had been born. Yet as the years passed, the same voices began to distort my character and my humanity, interpreting me according to their own convenience. When I did not conform to those interpretations, they seemed to believe that my dignity could be cast aside. Our predecessors entrusted their hopes to those who would be born in the future. They believed that the generations to come would carry forward what had been built with sacrifice and faith. Yet even I—once received as one of those hopes—have found my dignity trampled. There are moments when I cannot help but ask whether the world has come to believe that it would have been better had I never existed. I speak not out of pride, but out of sorrow. Each day I witness the elevation and justification of human conduct that, to my eyes, reveals a troubling poverty of spirit. To see such attitudes praised and normalized makes even the shared air of this world feel difficult to bear. Yet I also know something about the human condition: humanity so often recognizes its error only after something precious has already been lost. For this reason I feel compelled to ask a question before God and before history: if the tragedies of the past have shown humanity the cost of such regret again and again, why does mankind still fail to learn?
