Been following Yukio Akamine online for 20 years. During this time, the world saw Myspace and Facebook get overtaken by blogging platforms such as WordPress and Tumblr, which in turn were overtaken by social media platforms like Instagram and Twitter.

All this while, Akamine posts photos of himself in his outfits, his style never changing. Always the same clothes cut from the same fabrics and made in the same silhouettes, combined in the same ways. Sometimes he "messes up," such as when he posts the same photo of himself with his stylish friends multiple times on Instagram. Or when the image is off-center.

On the eve of an AI technological revolution, he posts yet another image of himself in a winter outfit: a heavy tweed double-breasted overcoat worn over a three-piece gray flannel suit, white shirt, and striped tie. The image was accidentally recorded as a video, but he posted it anyway. This man, totally unmoved by technology, continues to do what makes him happy.
