This is the “Nishi2 Survey (Temporary Name)” corner??, where we turn “a quick question for readers + the results of the previous question” into an article.
(Hira2 runs surveys too. This is a project inspired by and in respect for Hirakata Tsushin.)

Last Time’s Survey
Here was the previous survey!
“If you could time travel, what era would you go to?”
Response period: November 6–November 12
Number of responses: 8
This time, 8 people answered the survey!!
Being suddenly asked about time travel probably made some of you go, “Hmm… when would that be?”
As for me, well… it’s a little different from what Yumacchi meant by time travel, but I’d like to see the Edo period.
I liked dramas like JIN, and I’d love to compare it with those period dramas and see things like how people actually talked, going “Whoa, that’s totally different!” or “Ohhh, so it really was like that!” You’re curious too, right?Right?Oh, you’re not.
Now, let’s announce everyone’s answers!
“If you could time travel, what era would you go to?” and the stories behind them
Right after leaving my grandparents’ apartment by motorcycle, I got into a traffic accident.
Male, 40s
I was exactly 10 years old then, and I’d like to see the place where I lived as a child in Nishinomiya, and the place where I live now. If possible, I’d even like to take photos.
Male, 40s
I started working in Nishinomiya City and was proposed to by a man from Nishinomiya City. Ahh, if I had married him, I could have become a Nishinomiya resident〰💦
Female, 50s, living outside the city/prefecture
Definitely my youth. There are so many things I’d like to do over.
Male, 50s
I’ve always lived thinking that whichever era I was in was the happiest at the time, so I don’t think I need to go back. If I went back to high school, though, I might want to try Amuro-chan fashion one more time.
Female, 40s
Because I’d like to redo basketball from the basics, which I played from 6th grade through my third year of high school. These days there are so many different environments, from mini basketball to club teams, and I’m jealous.
Female, 40s
I graduated from the same elementary and junior high school as my mother, so I’d like to see what they were like back then.
Female, teens
I want to visit Nishinomiya-hama before it was reclaimed, back when Koroen Beach, where I played as a kid, still existed.
Male, 60s
I’ve never seen Koroen Beach, so I’d love to see what it really looked like back then.
Also, it’s lovely that people are curious about the differences between now and back then, like the elementary and junior high schools their mother attended, or the place they lived when they were 10.
Still, it seems that basically people want to time travel because they have regrets. And regrets come in all kinds of shades depending on the person.
I have plenty of regrets too, and there are times in the past I’d like to return to, but I remember seeing a quote by someone online that was something like, “This is you coming back from 10 years in the future. Start over now.” Lately I’ve been trying to keep that in mind.
