Artist's commentary
Reze 💐
I know I'm late to do another illustration of Reze and the movie, haha, but I really had to do it. While I was in Japan, every time I had a spare moment, I was drawing or practicing, and little by little, this piece came about, which I worked on whenever night fell or I had a long journey. As for Japan, I honestly loved every moment I was there. It was hard to leave, and on the last day, I couldn't shake the ache in my chest for leaving a place I'd grown so fond of. I need to go back sometime and stay longer. I was there for almost a month, and every moment was beautiful.
Passing through Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, and Nagano—such beautiful places, made even more stunning by the autumn weather and falling leaves—this drawing is a way to remember everything I experienced and enjoyed. I even cherish this movie more because I saw it there in Japan, and it gave me a lovely memory of the rain. I even went to Reze's café, and although there was a long line, the food was quite good. But the best part was seeing so many people going to iconic locations to take photos and being with others who shared similar interests; it made it all so enjoyable.
All that's left for me to say is thank you, Japan. I hope to return someday or even stay there; it's a dream I truly cherish.
