The one where the nitwit interviewer asked Mr. Sakurai the names of his cats while batting her eyelashes at him was an extended interview with only Mr. Sakurai around the release of 13kai (or maybe it was Ai no Wakusei?) I think it was Nack5, maybe? The other one was pretty much the only TV appearance they did to promote Memento Mori. I have no idea if anyone has subtitled them as I do not generally keep up with YouTube subs. Maybe a helpful person from a B-T related social media community can help you out?Caycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05982217665840858486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8994365939017837190.post-75952560185166018792016-01-08T17:14:52.407+09:002016-01-08T17:14:52.407+09:00I know this is old but you make me to be curious. ...I know this is old but you make me to be curious. I can't find those interviews you talked about. It has only few BT's interview videos with english sub. And even intervew videos without subtitle are rare too.

Since I'm young and a bit foolish, I wish to know more about his thinking, opinions,... <br /><br />Btw, I only know about BT last month. And in the full moon night of last month, my cat gave born 4 small kittens while the Moonlight song of BT is modulated in my room (sounds fake but it's true. I wonder it has some meaning or just a chance will disapear by time.)<br /><br />And sorry for my bad english.

This man is a miracle. How can he be even more perfect in my eyes? He's not only intelligent, but also spiritual! It's a pity they didn't expand such an interesting topic. If I were an interviewer I would talk about it for hours :D Obviously, this old soul is still the executioner, the agent of karmic destiny administering the torture to the poor witches..ehm, fangirls.Natalus Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07790866650843782797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8994365939017837190.post-1395030381171930642015-11-07T08:45:03.345+09:002015-11-07T08:45:03.345+09:00Thank you so very much, Cayce, for this wonderful ...Thank you so very much, Cayce, for this wonderful interview.

See also: the time Buck-Tick went on TV to promote Memento Mori...and Mr. Sakurai brought a whole bottle of shochu with him which he had already stashed in his belly for safekeeping and yet the interviewer still didn't realize that if you ask him interesting questions instead of stupid ones when he's drunk as fuck, he'll probably say something hilariously funny, seeing as he's remarkably articulate even while pickled.)<br /><br />However, the reason I chose to translate this interview is that I found the questions quite interesting. Sakurai obviously feels more comfortable talking honestly with interviewers he's known for a while, but even though he hasn't know these guys for that long, they still managed to not waste his time.Caycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05982217665840858486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8994365939017837190.post-80315831944763728652015-11-05T11:31:33.437+09:002015-11-05T11:31:33.437+09:00If I'd been simultaneous interpreting on air, ...If I'd been simultaneous interpreting on air, it would have only taken as much time as the actual interview took, but unfortunately I can't type as quickly as I can speak :) The most difficult parts of this were the parts where they were all talking at once and making context-free jokes.

Sakurai was utterly charming though. From what I've read and seen until now, I think that he is a very intelligent man, but sometimes people ask him such stupid questions. And I'm not one of those who thinks that there aren't stupid questions.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09971562595189134571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8994365939017837190.post-6045472496071918292015-11-04T19:41:20.792+09:002015-11-04T19:41:20.792+09:00It's a radio show, so this is a transcription ...It's a radio show, so this is a transcription of people talking, which means that it's less formal and coherent than a written interview which has been edited for a magazine. Also, the interviewers are radio show hosts, and therefore they have radio personalities. Acutally I think it's quite impressive how radio voices and radio personalities are the same the world over, transcending all barriers of language and culture.Caycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05982217665840858486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8994365939017837190.post-15139962469254930882015-11-04T18:45:17.526+09:002015-11-04T18:45:17.526+09:00Thank you for your hard work and wonderful transla...Thank you for your hard work and wonderful translation!
