These take place around fifty years in the future (from the time written). They had fallen into comparative obscurity. In 2013, French culture studies researcher Denis Taillandier<a href="#cite_note-denis-t-32">[32]</a> published the paper discussing and evaluating Aramaki's early short story "Soft Clocks". The revaluation of Aramaki's metafictional works were started. In the course of the renewed interest, publication of the "Complete Collection of Meta-SF Works was planned. The following list shows the early metafictional novelettes and short stories appeared in S-F from 1970 to ca. 1973:<a href="#cite_note-ndl-sfm-20">[20]</a> <table class="wikitable"
