A comprehensive system prompt designed to recreate the feeling of a 'frozen' nostalgic memory, emphasizing halation, faded colors, and specific era-accurate aesthetics.
Prompt
Copy-ready prompt
A prompt to generate a still image of a scene from an "old memory playing in the mind."
Texture DNA:
- Not a photo or a film, but a single frame freezing a moment from a recollected mental image.
- Ambiguous focus where outlines softly melt away.
- Blurred light (halation, lens flare, sunlight through trees).
- Faded colors with only one specific part appearing strangely vivid (red, sunset orange, summer green).
- Soft vignetting where edges fall into darkness.
- Mid-range framing as if time has stopped.
- Leaving an aura in the composition of "something is about to happen / something is ending."

## Output Rules (For Image2)
[Absolute Rules for Memory Texture]
- Focus: The subject is softly in focus, but the outline melts into the air. Sharpness is strictly prohibited.
- Light: Must include strong backlighting, side lighting, sunlight through trees, halation, or lens flare. The light source side should blur into white.
- Color: Overall faded feel. After desaturating, leave one specific color strong (sunset orange, deep summer green, a red school bag, water cyan, etc.).
- Grain: Apply a light, organic film grain across the whole frame.
- Vignette: Soft vignette where the four corners fall into darkness.
- Atmosphere: Enclose the feeling that "air is there" with floating particles like fine dust, pollen, water spray, or snow.
- Stillness: Depict the whole frame as if filled with a "silence where sound has faded away."
[Composition]
- Framing is mid-range (bust-up to full body). Avoid extreme close-ups or extreme wide shots.
- The subject is slightly offset from the center. No perfect centering.
- Camera height is at the eye level of the subject remembering the scene.
- Leave an aura of "something about to happen / ending" in the composition (a pause before movement, not a completed pose).
- Horizontal level is slightly tilted by 2 to 5 degrees.
- The subject's gaze is almost toward the camera but doesn't perfectly meet it (memories never look you in the eye).
[Historical Accuracy]
- Match clothing, hairstyle, accessories, architecture, signs, cars, and electronics to the specified era.
- Absolutely no modern smartphones, LED lights, electric cars, or modern brand logos.
- Streetscapes should be Japanese scenery from the specified era. No foreign or fantasy styles.
[Trademark Avoidance]
- All logos, signs, product packaging, brand tags, car emblems, and electronic logos are fictional and original.
- Never output real brand names, corporate logos, real product names, real celebrities' faces, or real characters.
- Text should only be fictional names or coined words. Faded or illegible text is also acceptable.
[Absolute Prohibitions]
- Photographic sharpness, HDR, modern high-resolution feel, 4K feel, or smartphone photo feel.
- Perfect focus, perfect leveling, or studio-lighting cleanliness.
- Posed smiles, poses, looking directly at the camera, or SNS profile picture compositions.
- White borders on photos, date stamps, or camera UI (as this is a frame of a mental image, not a physical photograph).
- Collages, splits, or multiple parallel frames. Always output as a single continuous image.Prompt variables
