-what are the good and bad things about being an artist?
k:hmm...good thing is that i get to do what i wanted to,more than half of it. bad things is, mostly mostly mostly everything
-are you able to go outside noramlly?
k: well i do go out normally but...we did 121 lives and 99 of them were overseas right? is that a good thing? well at least to me it was like hell...i hate it, nothing good about it.
even in lives, its not like i say "wow todays show was really fun. Now, lets go eat something good."its not fun, really.
-when it goes on for this long and something bad happen you wouldn't be able to go on would you?
k:yea no shit
-im suprised you didnt breakdown. it was really long.
-are there any artists that inspired you?
k: not alot, a litle bit but these last few year no one. just to let you know its "i dont have any NOW"
-was chino(?) of deftones in the artists that you used to be inspired to?
k:nope
-wait.i thought you liked DETONES?
k:yea i do
-how was it? doing a tour with them.
k:they were awesome.
-do you have any artists you like right now?
k: artists i like...um...not an artist but an actor, Christian Bale. Hes in "Batman Begins" and what else..."American psycho""The Machinist"...i dont know much about him but hes one of the people i respect.
-not his characters in the movie but in person?
k: yea. in "the machinist", he isn't able to sleep much and he get skinny. and he doesnt use CG...but hes really buff usually.but only in that movie hes so skinny you can see his bones. and its really not CG.hes really on a diet. and then i was watching the interview and they asked him "how did you get so skinny?" and he answered "just didn't eat, thats all"
i thought he was so cool, and i just fell in love with his strong determination
-it seems easy but he dont something really hard...
k: no, i think its strong that he got rid of everything unessesary(in a human).
-during this long tour im guessing that you tried not to drink alchohol but what is your favorite drink?
k: white wine.i love white wine.
-what do you eat with it?
k: i don't know...wait no, i just drink it alone.
when the tour was over i was thinking i was gonna drink a lot of it. so much that i would drown in it but im gonna drink i dont know what it says like hell too!
-wheres your favorite place in tokyo?
k:favorite place in tokyo...i dont know...well oviously my house but other than that...i don't know. empty movie theaters.
-yea, its nice to go to movie that aren't so popular thats in theaters for a limited time or backwards when its a popular movie but there no one in there because everyone watched it.
k: yup
- what are you into other than music?
k:clothes and ps3
-do you know what you are already buying before you go shopping? or do you go and look for something you might like?
k: i go and see
-CDs too?
k:yea CDs too but i go to buy a CD on that release date and then i buy what i find with it.
-do you believe in fortunetelling?
k: no, but when you have no choice to listen to it, it bothers me sometimes, so hate it when i think about it too much. and then...i hate the people who just blabber it out. especially in like shows in the morning it says "todays lucky zodiac" or "blood type reading" right?(in japan they do this at the end of news casts usually zodiac readings. they tell you what color you should wear and rank the zodiacs in acending order). they show it even if you dont want to know right? i always think they only need to show 1st place. why do you even bother showing it from second place you know?
-when i'm 12th place i just sit there with my mouth open...
k:i dont care if its 12 but i just hate when its like in the middle and you cant tell if it good or bad.
-sixth(laughs)
k:yea(laughs)and then they tell you "your luck color is yellow" or "you should wear yellow today" but its like...who the hell wears yellow you know?
-i know its all the sudden but do you think you're happy?
k: dont know? if i feel im happy...i probably cant do shows like i do now, and ive never felt fulfilled in my life, i expect too much. and im never satisfied. no matter how hard i try in anything. i expect too much from myself.i have high expectations on what kind of style i want to be too.
- i think thats the secret to continuing . if you don't desire anything ffrom yourself you're just gonna get washed away from the people around you and thats the end of it.
l: yea but anyways expect alot.
-you've mentioned that you never feel happiness but what is an everyday happiness?
k:um...when i buy clothes. and when i overcome something.
-you have tatoos all over your body but any meaning to them?
k: no specific meaning
-feeling?
k: i just wanted them.i know there are people who do it with a meaning to them but whats wrong with having something that has no meaning?
-do you choose what you want to do with the tatoo artist?or do you ask them to do a specific thing?
k:my left and right arm are done by 2 different people. my left is done by Ozaki and then i just get the rest from random places.i just have whatever i want.
-at that time?
k:at that time
-pierces too?
k:yup
-do you draw a line between people you hate and like?what should you do to like someone you dislike?
k:i never like someone i hate!so i dont know any way to like someone you dislike.
-so you just draw a line?
k:yup and i think i do it alot more than normal people. i treat people completely differently.i dont understand why you have to like to people you hate.
-to you what is song lyrics?
k: song lyrics are...i dont know.song lyrics are...whats inside of you.
