For a certain kind of person, love begins from something tiny or silly. From something like that or it doesnt begin at all.

No matter what they wish for, no matter how far they go, people can never be anything but themselves. That's all.

The Earth, time, concepts, love, life, faith justice, evil - they're all fluid and in transition. They don't stay in one form or in one place forever. The whole universe is like some big FedEx box.

Maybe the star doesnt even exist any more.Yet sometimes that light seems more real to me than anything.

It is my huge pleasure that my novels are translated into languages that are read among small numbers of people.

I am worrying about my country. I feel I have a responsibility as a novelist to do something.

I just gave them a little scare. A touch of psychological terror. As Joseph Conrad once wrote, true terror is the kind that men feel towards their imagination. (from Super-frog Saves Tokyo)
