6699 is the typographical shape of quotation marks: “ and ”. This hand-made zine is a collection gathered by students in the English Speaking class at Kyoto University of Art and Design. The theme “The Last Supper” was chosen by popular vote in class on Tuesday the 26th of November, 2019. It was suggested by Mio Hayashida. Do you ever think about dying? What do you want to do before you die? If you were going to die tomorrow, what would you want to eat for you last meal? These questions and more answered by students in this ever so slightly dark magazine. We hope you enjoy it.

I sometimes think about dying. I think ‘’when will I die?”, “where should I go if I die?” and “I hope I can die surrounded by my favorite things,” and other things too. I think I will die when I’m 80, but I want to live untill I’m 85 years old. I have so many things to do before I die. I need to see many stage performances, meet my favorite actors and to be happy!! (^^)/ If I was going to die tomorrow, then before I die I’d like to eat afternoon tea one I last time. I like sweets very much. Afternoon tea has a lot of my favorite sweets and I will be happy!!

I think that dying is a human rule and that it is never bad. I will think about my life when l die. I don’t know how old I will be when I will need medical care. But, I’d like to die about 80 years old. I often think about dying. If you have something you want to do before you die, it’s probably very luxurious. If you can’t do it, you need to spend money. I often think about what I want to eat before I die: I want to eat udon, which Japanese people like very much, and then die. The reason why I chose udon is because I like the glutinous texture of udon. I want to eat udon for my last supper before I die.

I have so many things to do before I die. I need to eat lots of salmon and lots of egg dishes. I really want to eat ice cream from all over the world before I die. If I was going to die tomorrow, then before I die I’d like to eat crab pot one last time. It must be the best. I first had this food the year before last year. It’s very special to me because it is a valuable thing that can only be eaten once a year. It’s so delicious, you should try it.

I sometimes think about dying. Many people think that death is the end, but I don’t think so. I’m not afraid of death. I think I’m going to live until I am 80 years old. I don’t want to live too long. I don’t want to live until my body can’t move on it’s own. However, I do not want a sudden death, such as an accident. I don’t like being in pain. When I die, I don’t want to think about anything. l have so many things to do before I die. If I was going to die tomorrow, then before I die I‘d like to eat my Grandmothers cooking one last time. Her dishes are not especially luxurious, but they are very friendly and very delicious. I have been eating them since I was a child, so I can recall all my memories when I eat.

I think about dying. I don’t know how I feel about it. Timing will decide when I die. Death is always with you when you are alive. When you die, your soul comes out of your body and you cannot interact with the world, so it remains a mystery. I don’t know and I can’t say anything, but maybe there is heaven and hell. There is 500 times the pleasure of masturbation and repeated reincarnation; you can only go to the soul and your favorite place... this story is also the exit from the world. It is an unknown world because no one knows it, but it is also an entrance. I take care of my life and the present. After death, people continue to move forward, and the consciousness floats away from the body into the sky, you can go anywhere you like and know whatever you want. If death is bad, then I think there must be something good, as there is good if there is bad. There is no end and it continues to be ugly. You become only the soul with instinct; your emotion leaves with your body and you feel nothing. Like everything is boring.

I want to die while being watch over by my family and friends. The teacher asked me, “when do you think you will die?” My answer was, “I think the time I will die is fixed, but I can’t know when it will be. I don’t know if it’s at the end of my lifetime, in an accident, or by an illness.” I long for death a little. People may think death seems like a bad end, but for me it feels like a brilliant turning point. Because death comes only once in our lives, it’s an example of the final festival. If I was going to die tomorrow, then before I die I would like to eat my mothers Koya-tofu. To welcome the New Year, my mother always makes Koya-tofu. I’ve loved it ever since I was a kid and I still want to eat it before I die. I like my mother’s home cooking much more than any gorgeous menu.

The Last Supper I think about dying. It scares me, because I can’t meet my family and friends again. So it’s hard to think about. I also feel sad for my close friends. But everyone dies. I also thought about what I want to do before I die. I came up with three things. First, I want to go around the world, because I want to see many beautiful places. Secondly, I want to meet someone who will be close to me, because I want to make some important memories with them. Thirdly, I want to use all my money; I want to something delicious. If I’m going to die tomorrow, I want to eat sushi, because sushi is a very famous Japanese food, and I’m Japanese. I also want to eat sushi with my family and friends. If we all eat together, it’s much more fun. And this will be my last memory. Nanami Noge April 5th,2000 Kyoto University of Art and Design Speace Design 1 29

I want to meet important people, and do what I like and eat what I like!! If I was going tomorrow, then before I die I would like to eat my mother’s ozouni. I eat it once a year!! I really like it!! It is one of my favorite things. I enjoy eating it because I can always eat a little more.

I have never thought seriously about dying yet. I’m still young, but I think I’m old enough to die now. However, there is a feeling that we are a little scared because we do not know when we will die. Everyone dies, so I think it would be inevitable if that time came, but I still don’t want to die. I don’t know when I’m destined to die, but I don’t want to die yet. I want to die after living a little more; maybe another 10 years at least. Before I die, I want to get married and live happily with my child and my husband. I want to die after I’ve done a lot of work and had a good time, but the first priority would be to make a family before I die. If I die tomorrow, I want to eat my father’s cake before it happens. My father is a pastry chef who has made my birthday cake for me ever since I was born. I like his cakes more than anything else, so if I die tomorrow, I want to eat a lot of my father’s cake and then die.
Taniguchi, Kyoka My name is Kyoka Taniguchi. My parents named me because they wanted to raise a girl with a scent of Kyoto about her. My favorite food is cake.

I sometimes think about dying. In particular, I often think about it on the anniversary of an important person’s death. I’m afraid of death a little. I only half believe that there is a heaven and a hell. When I die, I want to be sleeping at home. Because a home is the calmest place. Before I die, I really want to go to an Art museum overseas. I want to go in particular to the Louvre Museum. If I was going to die tomorrow, then before I die I’d like to eat my mother’s home cooking one last time. I don’t have a particular favorite dish, but they’re suited to my palate because they all have light tastes. Moreover I can calm down the most because I don’t usually eat out too much. The rice which my grandparents make and send to us is delicious.

If I was going to die tomorrow I wish I could have a quick ending or die while l’m sleeping. I don’t want to suffer from any different kind of disease; I’d rather put a gun in my mouth or watch myself being tied up into an ambulance because of a heart attack. I’d like to die with some dignity, at least. To be honest, I never think about when I’m gonna die because its hard to tell... sometimes I wish I could live forever and sometimes I wish I could die right now. However there is one thing I can be sure of; i want to die next to someone I love and the best timing would be when I’m sleeping. If I was going to die tomorrow, then before I die I’d like to eat something made by my boyfriend. It is special to me because he told me he is good at cooking but he hasn’t cooked me anything yet, so I just want to know if he really IS good or if he JUST SUX.

Shibazuke, from Doi: Master Picklers of Kyoto The older I get, the more I think about dying. I feel like I have been losing special people around me more often these days. Life is precious. I’m not afraid of death, but the thought of leaving behind so many family and friends makes me sad. I hope I live to a very old age! I don’t mind being old. I think grandpas are cool anyways. When I die, I hope that I’m doing what I want to do and I’m where I want to be. I don’t mind if it’s in my futon or the hospital. Before I die I need to pay off the rest of the loan on my house… that’s the big job. Aside from that I want to travel a little more, and maybe ride my bicycle around Japan. I also want to see my nephews get married. That would be nice. If I was going to die tomorrow, then before I die I would like to eat Shibazuke pickles from Doi in Kyoto. Doi are master picklers and their shibazuke is the best. If you give me a bowl of rice, good miso soup, a piece of grilled fish and Doi’s Shibazuke, I can die a happy man. It’s special to me because I’m not really a big fan of sour foods, but I really like this shibazuke.
