Thanks for coming through; it means a lot. There’s a lot of money, fame, and corporate interest in the FGC now; but to me it will always be about a group of people from completely different backgrounds connecting as equals through a shared passion. I hope we don’t lose that.

Do you know what day it is today?

Daigo on stream talking about Kemonomichi. He says he seriously planned on retiring if he lost to Mena. The reason being that since SF6 release he has not felt “strong” or the motivation to improve like in his youth in the arcade days. But after 3 months of training, in the final week before the match he thought, “Wait a minute. Am I strong again? This is what it felt like back in the day.”

He was incredibly stressed the day before the match and couldn’t eat, and said just walking outside felt like he was already in the fight. He thought he wouldn’t be able to sleep due to stress, but surprisingly fell asleep easily - however when he woke up he had tears in his eyes. He doesn’t know why, but he thinks it’s because he had a dream where he quit Fighting Games.

After he lost to Mena, he still thought it was time to retire. But in the taxi ride back to Tokyo, Eita kept bothering him and begging him not to. Daigo agreed just to shut him up, but then he thought back on that feeling of being strong in the last week and thought if he could keep that same motivation and approach he had for Kemonomichi, he could become strong again.

For now he has decided to continue competing, but is taking a short rest after the set.

寿司を忘れよ、ラーメンを忘れよ、と君は言う。そして、油にまみれた一片の肉塊に、日本の真実が宿るとでも言いたげだ。
それが黄色と白の紙袋に包まれ、レジの上で無造作に受け渡されるとき、異国の旅人はついに日本を理解した気になる。そういう物語だろう。
しかし、その理解はあまりに軽い。骨のない鶏肉のように、抵抗も構造もなく、ただ歯に優しく、記憶にも優しい。
確かに、二十五億個という数字は雄弁だ。一万六千余の店舗に張り巡らされた網は、もはや神経のようにこの国を覆っている。だが、その神経が感じ取っているのは、果たして文化なのか、それとも単なる温度と油の刺激に過ぎぬのか。
旅人はしばしば、最も手近なものを本質と呼びたがる。疲労と空腹が、その判断をいっそう安易にする。ファミチキはその隙に入り込み、あたかも日本の核心であるかのように振る舞う。だが、日本は、そんなに簡単に紙袋へ収まるものではない。
むしろ私は問いたい。君が忘れよと言った寿司やラーメンのほうが、よほど執拗に、この国の時間と労働と美意識を背負ってはいないか、と。
ファミチキは確かに美味い。だがそれは、勝利ではなく、むしろ敗北の味に近い。あらゆるものを均質にし、誰にでも理解できる形に整えた果ての、静かな諦念。そのやわらかさの中に、私はわずかな恐怖すら感じるのだ。
