REAL READ 2004/11
ﾆ停?ｹﾆ鱈 long interview
Part 2/14
translated by Liz & Jessica
So when your parents were strict like that what did you do to get away from it?
Recently, I looked over my grade school graduation album, I even wrote "my future dream is to become a manga artist", I loved drawing so much.
Did you also study in that direction?
I studied something else. What I did those days was calligraphy and abacus,
and swimming school at a private institution. My parents wanted to raise a good kid or something.
But in grade school, I thought that everyone goes to a private school.
As for that, there really weren't many around me. Therefore, even when school ended I still had to study; I really hated that. Anyway, even after I finished at home, I had too much to do, and I hated that so I'd skip school. And when I'd do that I'd piss them off again.... Especially during summer break and so on, people usually just enjoy themselves, right? But in my case, I was always naughty and got grounded during summer holidays, so I always had to stay in the house.....
Saying that you were naughty, what kind of things did you do, specifically?
I used to skip lessons, and I got bad grades. And so I frequently got grounded. Even so, I didn't want to study, so I always ended up choosing to be grounded. In outline, because my parents always kept a close eye on me when they were around, I used to sit at my desk, but I'd be reading the manga I put in my drawer, and when they came to check up on me I used to try and hide it and pretend I was only working. Since then, I'm pretty sly (laugh)
So, tutoring school was nothing but a place of agony for you, right?
But that tutoring school, is it different from a normal school or something? It's just a gathering of naughty kids. So it was common sense that we didn't listen to what the teacher would say. Because I was always reading the mangas I brought.
In summer holidays, what did you do at home?
Because my parents went to work during daytime, that was free time. So in the mornings, I'd watch anime or the summer shows. But, before my parents returned, I was made to complete drills. They always hid my parents' answer page somewhere. When they were gone I'd look for it and copy it, and write a similar answer to create an alibi. Anyway for the drills, I copied the answers everyday.
Back then, how did you picture music?
Actually, my brother loved X. But when I listened to it, he became angry. The reason was that an X album my brother had, "VANISHING VISION"3 that was released during their indies period, and that jacket was erotic and radical. Looking at it, a child's heart becomes excited, doesn't it? Being charmed by that, I secretly listened to it. Therefore, often, I'd sneak into my brother's room and listen. That when I was in my 4th year of grade school.
You listened to various things your brother had.
My brother loved metal. In addition, he used to listen to Helloween and Guns4. Back then, horror movies were very in, and heavy metal style music was often used in the ending themes. He listened to that too, of course.
