Excerpt taken from the interview with Yukio Murata, PHY vol. 5, November 2015; originally translated by Pikopiko- спасибо!
PHY: Can you say that working with Sakurai-san at this time has deepened your understanding of what kind of person he is? YM: No, not yet… it needs more time. He is still inapprehensible for me. He has a very sensitive nature. Also he is always so caring… PHY: At what moment did you feel that? YM: 11 years ago, after finishing a recording, he asked me out for a drink. We were about to sit at the bar when he pulled out a chair for me… PHY: Ahahahahahah! YM: And said: “Murata-san, please have a seat.” I was like “What are you doing? Please stop!”… Honestly, he is too good for this world. No matter how much of a “man” you consider yourself to be, when Sakurai-san pulls out a chair for you, you start to feel like a girl *smile*.
He’s got such beautiful hands and those “tattoos” are lovely…..I actually scanned his hands for a bjd project for an artist to do for me. So since I did that, I added these other two images for good measure 😉
From Rock and Read Vol 62?
I’m not afraid of death itself, but a loneliness and sadness it leaves behind. When I remember those feelings I have experienced and someone else experiences them now, I remain sad. Please hug those around you until it’s too late. No matter how idyllic it sounds *smile*.

I’ve translated the full interview. I can’t believe I have done this! There’s so much wisdom… I just could’t resist 😀 I’m not a professional translator so I’m sorry for mistakes I might make but anyway, I hope you enjoy this absolutely mind-blowing journey through the darkness.
It’s impossible to understand what the love is, I think. We can neither see nor express it through words. What kind of feeling is it? This word is used to describe a romantic relationship between a man and a woman but also a bond between parents and children. I received love from my mother too. I received it from my father in a warped form. Now I think about the form in which I can trasmit love to my own child. By the way, I’m not going to be too eager over it *smile*. I don’t understand what is that something inside of me that appears to be the love but I know if it’s taken away from us, we feel a terrible sadness and loneliness.

Through “Mortal” I wanted to clearly express an idea that when I‘ll be dying… no matter how much I would pretend, defy and claim „Let me alone, I’m fine“, in fact I will most likely stare in absolute and uncontrollable awe into the face of death and desperately cling to life.
