まいど。八刻堂のハチでございます。さて、先日の4gamerさんの「日本ファルコム創設者，加藤正幸氏 追悼企画：後編」の続きの感想を、少し語らせていただきます。
「よくない辞めかた」「喧嘩別れ」
いやぁ、この2つのワードは本当に心に響いた。
古代祐三さんも、新海誠さんも「去り際」「引き際」に相当な葛藤を抱きながら会社を離れていらしたんだと。特に古代祐三さんは、このような話題は今回がはじめてだったのではなかろうか？（新海誠さんの話は、以前、何かの記事でもみたことがあった）
コロナで事業部が飛んだ
じつはハチもね、過去に業種（職種）を2回ほどチェンジしてきているのだが、去り際は「沁みた」ね。辛かったね。どちらも7-10年ずつお世話になった環境下だったから、前向きな理由だろうがなんだろうが、去り際は心に深く沁みた。あと、それ以外にもコロナの影響で会社の事業部ごと「飛んだ」こともある…散り散りになっていった仲間たちと最初はZoomも数回ほどやったけど、あれも辛かった。
先人の知恵
半世紀も生きてると、本当にいろいろあるけど、こうしたクリエイティブの遥か高みにおられる先人たちの葛藤話（知恵）は本当にシビれる。どういう思考パターン、どういう行動パターンを普段から取っていれば、葛藤を乗り越え、次の場所を見つけられるか、とても参考になる。
今回も栄養価の高いエキスをいただいたけど、明日の励みにして頑張ろうと、決意を新たにしました。
では本日はここまで

また次回✨️

Hey there. Hachi from Hakkokudo here. So, today I'll share a bit more about my thoughts on the recent “4Gamer's Memorial Feature for Masayuki Kato, Founder of Nihon Falcom: Part 2.”
“A bad way to leave,” “parting on bad terms.”
Man, those two phrases really hit home.
Both Yuzo Koshiro and Makoto Shinkai left their companies after going through significant inner conflict about their “departure” and “timing.” Especially Yuzo Koshiro—wasn't this the first time such a topic came up? (I think I'd seen something about Makoto Shinkai's story in an article before.)
The division vanished due to COVID
Actually, Hachi here has changed industries (job types) about twice in the past, and those departures really “stung.” It was tough. Both were environments I'd been part of for 7-10 years each, so whether the reasons were positive or not, leaving left a deep sting in my heart. Then, on top of that, the entire division I worked in “disappeared” due to COVID... We scattered, and while we did a few Zoom calls at first, that was tough too.
The Wisdom of Those Who Came Before
Living for half a century, you really experience all sorts of things, but hearing about the struggles (and wisdom) of these pioneers who've reached such lofty heights in creativity is truly electrifying. It's incredibly insightful to learn what thought patterns and behaviors they cultivated daily to overcome their struggles and find their next place.
Once again, I've received some highly nutritious essence. I've renewed my resolve to use this as motivation for tomorrow and push forward.
That's all for today.
<(_ _)> Hachi
See you next time ✨️
