What day is it today?
“Springtime walking with my dog in Shibuya” has quite a nice atmosphere.
Since the release of “ChatGPT IMAGE”, “DALL-E 3” has paled in comparison, but it looks pretty good… This is probably due to the prompt, but “SeaArt AI” hasn’t been so great lately.
April 8th is “Loyal Dog Hachiko Day”.
It was established by the Loyal Dog Hachiko Bronze Statue and Akita Dog Statue Preservation Society. It is the date one month after Hachiko’s death. A memorial service has been held on this day since 1936.

“Loyal Dog Hachiko Day” prompt
Create an anime-style portrait of a woman with wind-blown curly hair walking an Akita dog.
The woman is dressed casually, with a short denim jacket over a T-shirt, exposing her belly button.
She has distressed denim shorts and high-top sneakers on her bare feet.
The Shibuya cityscape sparkles in the background.
The soft, spring-like sunlight creates an exquisite space painted with hyper-realism.Summary of what day it is today: April 8th
- Hachiko the Loyal Dog Day: Established by the Association for Preserving the Hachiko Bronze Statue and Akita Dog Statues. The date is one month after Hachiko’s death. Since 1936, a memorial service has been held on this day.
- Reference Book Day: Established in 1984 by the Study Book Association to raise awareness of the importance of reference books. This day was chosen because it is the day of the Flower Festival and many school entrance ceremonies are held nationwide.
- Buddhocee/Flower Festival: From the legend that Buddha was born on April 8th (lunar calendar). It is celebrated throughout East Asia, but Japan is the only country that celebrates it on April 8th in the Gregorian calendar.
- Departure Day: From “shuppatsu[4]patsu[8]” (departure). It is timed to coincide with the start of a new life, such as school opening ceremonies.
- Tire Day: Established by the Japan Automobile Tire Manufacturers Association. April is the month in which the national spring traffic safety campaign is held, and the number 8 evokes the image of a tire.
- Grass Day: Established by the Nagano Prefecture Landscape Gardening and Construction Association to promote greenery in towns by growing grass, which has many benefits, including encouraging healthy children to play outside and mitigating the heat island effect. The date is a play on words, with the numbers 4 and 8 being pronounced “grass.”
- Get Wild Day: Established in 2023 by Sony Music Labels and others, and certified by the Japan Anniversary Association. It is named after the release date of the single “Get Wild” by the Japanese music group TM NETWORK in 1987, and is said to be the first time that a song title has been used for a commemorative day certified by the association.
- Sea squirt Day: Established by Maboya, a restaurant serving sea squirt dishes in Sendai City, Miyagi Prefecture, to allow more people to experience the deliciousness of sea squirts. Certified and registered by the Japan Anniversary Association in 2018. The reason for making April 8th the anniversary is that April is the month when sea squirts are most widely available, and the numbers 4 and 8 are a pun on the words “ho” (four) and “ya” (8).
