## Prompt

```text
Goal: Using REFERENCE_0 as the base photo, transform it into a warm Japanese hand-drawn watercolor-and-colored-pencil scrapbook journal page while preserving the same subject, pose, school-uniform jacket, seated convenience-store window composition, rainy night mood, and anonymized/obscured face.

Style transformation: Convert the realistic photo into a cozy illustrated “late night journal” spread on beige grid notebook paper, with soft ink outlines, muted watercolor textures, visible paper grain, rounded page corners, tape scraps, doodles, arrows, hearts, raindrops, and handwritten Japanese notes. Make it feel nostalgic, cute, and slightly messy like a personal travel diary.

Scene changes and additions: Replace the plain convenience-store snack setup with a richer Japanese convenience-store meal scene. Add exactly 7 visible food/drink items on and near the counter: 1 oden cup with large Japanese label, 1 melon bread held in the subject’s hand, 1 bottled milk tea, 1 wrapped onigiri, 1 packaged snack bag, 1 small plate with an extra melon bread, and 1 small receipt/slip. Outside the window, emphasize a rainy Shinjuku night skyline with blurred neon and Tokyo Tower-like red landmark lights.

Journal layout elements: Add exactly 10 scrapbook/annotation elements around the illustration: 1 large handwritten Japanese headline at top left, 1 small English phrase “late night journal,” 1 taped label reading “Daily Konbini Life,” 1 top-right note card, 1 left-side handwritten thought box, 1 left checklist box for today’s purchases, 1 small convenience-store tote-bag doodle, 1 bottom-left Polaroid photo labeled “Shinjuku Rainy Night,” 1 bottom-right memo checklist card, and 1 speech bubble near the subject. Use arrows and tiny doodles to connect notes to the food and window view.

Text: Use mostly handwritten Japanese with a few casual English accents. Main headline text: {headline_text}. Top-left English phrase: {journal_phrase}. Taped label text: {tape_label}. Polaroid caption: {polaroid_caption}. Memo card title: {memo_title}.

Constraints: Keep the composition based on the reference rather than inventing a new character angle. Preserve the anonymous blurred/blank face. Do not make it photorealistic; it must look like an illustrated notebook page. Avoid extra characters, logos, watermarks, or clean digital UI styling.
