__In yukihiro-san’s career, the longest tour [Tour ’98 “Light my fire”] has just begun. How do you feel?
yukihiro: “I feel it’s getting better. I have only the experience at Tokyo Dome as Laruku member, but personally it was very good. So I feel I have to top it”

__ Overall, I feel your lives have a very deep and dark sound. Did you make it on ( Read more... )

朝顔、浴衣の女性、エロス、プラモデル
MORNING GLORY, GIRLS IN YUKATA, EROS, PLASTIC MODEL
(Japanese) morning glory. When in primary school, we pot them, don’t we? This memory. Together with that, yukata, night shops, summer night. Girls in yukata!? Ah…it’s good, I like them. I feel a refreshing sensation, and there’s also a sense of cleanliness.
On the other hand, ( Read more... )

開け方の時間、睡眠、ガラス集め、十何年ぶりの海
TIME OF DAWN, SLEEP, COLLECTING GLASS, THE SEA AFTER MORE THAN 1O YEARS
When I think of blue, daybreak and sleep come to my mind. The time I like the most is when the day breaks the dark and you can see the light of the sun. I feel it’s quiet. It’s probably my favourite colour. When I see it, I think I want to be wrapped ( Read more... )

NATURE, STONEHENGE, PURIFICATION, BASKING IN THE SUN
The nature. I think that this is perhaps the green printed on media has become nature. When I went to London, in May, I went to Stonehenge, and there I really felt the nature. Even if there’s a mystery circle in the middle of very large grassland, it seems not to be strange ( Read more... )

中間色、判別しにくい、お絵描き、日常の昼間
INTERMEDIATE COLOUR, DIFFICULT TO DISTINGUISH, PAINTER, EVERYDAY DAYTIME
Pea green, what colour is this? Is it the colour of grass and stems? Well, there are colours I can’t distinguish clearly. I can’t see well intermediate colours. So, even if I’m told: “pea green”, I don’t have an idea in my head. Eh? Is it popular ( Read more... )

 Mandarin orange, kitchenware, people of a completely different race
Mandarin orange. Caution. …then kitchenware maybe. When living with my parents, my mom had a complete set in yellow. I can remember when, sitting on the seat where I was always sitting, absent-mindedly I said: “Can’t I have my meal?”. But why a complete set ( Read more... )

柿, 郷愁, 過去のイメージ
PERSIMMON, NOSTALGIA, IMAGE OF PAST
Persimmon is orange? right? Then, persimmon. The idea is… it tastes delicious (laugh). 1-2 years ago I was asked: “What’s your favourite fruit?” . That time I answered pear, but since I don’t eat it too much, if I think over it, when I go to the supermarket, I buy persimmon. I usually don’t buy ( Read more... )

映画の中の血、猛烈、激情、憎しみ
BLOOD IN MOVIES, RAGE, FURY, HATRED
The thing I associate in my mind with red is blood. But not my own blood, the vivid-color blood you can see, to say, in a movie. Like in a horror film, in the scene where a shower of blood is spattering. The blood coursing through my body is more darkish, I think.
If we compare this colour with ( Read more... )
