Afterword
Frankly, what I write an afterword from this book in itself surprising. The idea of this book was born around the middle of July 1991. And Yoshiki, and I was fascinated by the idea of the first in the world to collect interviews of different sub-personalities, called the book by the name of the new product X and release it on sale the same day as the release of the album. It was a complete folly of what the world has ever known. I too wanted to understand Yoshiki as a person, and then release the book was postponed, and eventually she came out with a delay of six months. Although I tried as soon as possible to fulfill the promise, but apologize. Although my fault in this and no. However, I want to explain in detail why the creation of this book was fraught with such difficulties. Or simply bring their justification. In the beginning, the work progressed smoothly. Very quickly, three-fifths of the planned interviews were completed, and work on the manuscript was easy. And then he was appointed the day of the publication in accordance with a release date of the album X, that is, in December 1991. But! Suddenly Nava very different circumstances - and the very «Art of Life", and round, and three days in Tokyo Dome, and V2, and the cancellation of performances due to crowding, and that Yoshiki fainted at the concert. As a result of the release of the album was delayed for a long time. To top it all bassist Taiji left the band. "What is this!" And since the release was postponed for an indefinite time, I decided to separately release a book in March 1992. But because of the tight schedule an interview with Yoshiki and shooting constantly postponed. So full interviews were completed only at the end of February 1992. Catch by March it was impossible.Ultimately, at the end of March, I locked myself in a hotel room, and for five consecutive days worked on the manuscript, and still managed to finish it. Nevertheless, although I say it myself, I had confidence that the content of the book is really very interesting. In the past, Yoshiki unusually frequently appeared in various media, but not so easy it was to catch him a real image and traced to the separation of individuals. And when you read this book, you will realize that each chapter contains contradictions. And if you try to understand Yoshiki, it may seem that this is a collection of interviews with conflicting personalities. And I'm still glad to think that this plan was not a mistake. But can you understand this man, "the crucible of different characters," reading this book - it's up to you, the readers. In conclusion, I would like to whole-heartedly thank the people who we Yoshiki brought so much trouble, and without whom would not have passed this book. I will never undertake to write a book about Yoshiki. Ichikawa Tetsushi, March 1992, tomibiki (day, adverse in the afternoon, but a good morning and evening in a traditional six-day cycle - approx. A wound). Make the interview, when I so often create chaos, it is worthy of applause ... but this is only part of the conversation about common sense and morality. Ichikawa-san, in the end, so long as you do not understand ... Yoshiki March 1992, taian (the most auspicious day in a traditional six-day cycle - prim.perev.) |
