[sweiled]

The BACKSTAGE people did it again. ;o; I'll do the next series tomorrow. >___>;;

This is the translation of Arena magazine and it's prettly long. ^^;; And somehow I feel the need to aoplogize for the dramatic opening. <.<

Much thanks to the lovely gekka_no_neko, crescent_yume, and Saori for all the help. ^^ *hugglies

XD Someday I'm going to write comments which are longer than the article itself. XD Thank you for reading! ^^

Well! I say bring it on!! I bet I can write longer comments than you! =P In fact, prepare for the long comment of all long comments!! XD I've had to split it in two because 5233 characters is definitely too much to sneak past the 4300 character limit! XDD

to say that it felt like the loneliness of a long-distance love relationship won’t be too far-fetched indeed.

Heh. I love their dramatics. And you're absolutely right. All the interviewers do seem to have a genuine liking and respect for him.

And the tour this time, “DIABOLOS ~哀婉の詩~”, is right in between the second and third chapters. XD It amuses me so how he's making this story with 4 chapters, and then manages to put Diabolos exactly IN BETWEEN them. XD

But while there is the you who are analyzing over these things for a long period of time, there is also the you who live day by day in real time. [1] Does a time lag arise between these two sides?

Yeah, I can imagine that. To get so absorbed in your work, to have it in your mind almost 24 hours a day, especially when it's a big thing, a separate, complicated world and history like that, can make you forget about the "real world" sometimes. Can make you seem scatterbrained even if you aren't usually.

Heh, interesting how he experiences creating a simple sound as stressful. But of course, with the radical change of style, he has to hold himself back from making the kind of music he is used to.

But it’s really horrible this time! Expenses are way too high. There might be people who think they can make profits by holding tours, but there is no such thing at all!I just have to laugh at that. XDDD No, not the way he does it! XD And that's exactly why he does all the commercials and movie/tv series/game tie-ins. So he can use the money he

Oh yes and the BACKSTAGE pics are tiny again!! ;;___;;

I wonder if it gets really bad at times... when he starts living in that world too. Has that ever happened to you before? Where the fantasy world that you created started to merge with the real world?

Hehehe, yeah... it's total opposite from his normal style. X3

Ahahahahahahahaha... XDDD I really DO love tofu! XD

Thank you for the long comment!! I love reading them! X33 *HUGGLIES*

XDDDD Ahahahaha, actually, I don't think you can ever beat my friend's record. She posted one which took three full comments. o.0 And I go over the limit all the time, especially for translation comments over at Jeannie's side. XD

All the interviewers do seem to have a genuine liking and respect for him.

Really shows too, doesn't it? ^^ I don't know about other Japanese artists, but I'm amazed that the interviews really seem to know what they are doing, and the materials of the artists they are interviewing. *o* At times it didn't feel like a reporter was interviewing him, but a fan instead. XD

AHAHAHAHAHA, you are right!! I've never thought of that! XD

How can they truly be superior if they are incomplete?And why can't they? Nobody says you have to be complete/perfect to be superior. ^^ The power that they possess alone will make them "superior" over others, and enough to rule over others if they really want to. Though they are incomplete and cannot stay under the sun, their strength more than made up for that weakness. In human'
