once again thinking about yuzuru’s onmyoji performance

Ahhhh I want to visit the Seimei shrine and go to the festival in the fall, but I fear I have no money 🫠

Goddammit I started playing The Arcana again against my better judgement and WOW I have no impulse control and I cannot try to work on things that are not Arcana related

Took some inspiration from the classic Nosferatu posters and decided to try something different today, giving the high-contrast comic style another shot 🙏

I'm so confused by this, it's great 😭 I love you broken poll

Today I came across an interview Atsushi had, back in June 2019. And there was a specific part of it that almost gave me shivers.

"―― Right (lol). Our conversation has taken quite a turn but whether it’s about being healthy or about being able to perform on stage, neither can go on forever. I believe that is what you got to feel firsthand this time.

S: Yeah. How long I can keep doing this…… I thought about things like that. Especially recently when there are those who choose to voluntarily retire. Although, of course, I, too, wish to keep going as long as my body and my voice permits. But, well, it’s not something that is within our control. If we can sever off what naturally happens, it would be easy but that is rarely the case. Because being born human, we have emotions, and memories, and blood relations after all. It’s difficult to sever things away. But despite that, time still goes by. Right…… Very recently, I decided that I would do whatever I wanted to do. And I wouldn’t do what I didn’t want to do.

―― You’re saying this in a positive light.

S: That’s right. Because, really, just recently, a friend who I’ve known for 30 years passed away. He went suddenly and it felt like, ‘…… Ah, that’s it?’. That person lived his life as he liked, so I guess that was one thing my friend taught me.

―― Was your friend sick?

S: Nope, he suddenly collapsed. Cerebral haemorrhage or something. Mm…… It was a little too abrupt. Even now, it still hasn’t sunk in though."

BUCK-TICK | [Jun 2019] Of Love and Death and Life — An Interview with Sakurai Atsushi -

Of Love and Death and Life Ongaku to Hito June 2019 Text: Ishii Eriko Photographs: Hirano Takashi Hair & Makeup: Tanizaki Takayuki, Yamaji C

It feels rather strange to read this interview and to find the similarities, doesn't it?

Either way, I believe for most of us, it still hasn't sunk in that he is gone. But I also think Sakurai-san would want us to live our lives to the fullest as we like.

We still miss you, Sakurai-san. It still hurts. But it will get better some day...
