ItalianoGACKT Official Weibo update. Translation below:
I ended up not sleeping at all,
then I went straight to the airport…
It was time to get to the airport when I realised.
I couldn’t help it when the drowsiness hit me.
I set off from the hotel at 7 o’clock.
There was a reason why I have to return to Tokyo so early.
Of course,
I spent some time relaxing in Fukuoka before I retrun to Tokyp.
But my friend invited me for cruising,
and I’ve got got one day to spare,
so everyone adjusted their time for me.
I reached the jetty at about 11.
Although I’m very sleepy but the smell of the tide made me awake.
2 days ago,
I asked Kiryuin Shō: “Are you coming?”
And he answered in such a cute way saying “Even if I’m not willing I’ll go!”
Sure enough, “playing”,
you really need it no matter how busy you are.
Saw Shō, who was waiting for me, when I reached the jetty.
And we walked towards the direction of the boat.
All our friends were already on board the boat waiting to set sail.
Everybody’s busy,
that’s why this cruising was very meaningful.
Everybody talked about this casually.
Japanese are really very hard working.
Just the level of effort, it can be said as the world’s top.
But,
as a race of not able to reset their mood,
can be said as the worst in the world.
Many people felt that,
“playing” is like a crime.
Which is not true.
“Playing” is actually a very necessary way to reset your mood.
If we don’t reset our moods like this, everyone’s heart will collapse.
If the heart is broken, the body will become worse.
You have to give your utmost effort for work,
and in between you have to give your best while playing too.
And then find the time to reset the mood.
Just being over worked, one day the heart will collapse,
then your work will be upsetted and friends will become lesser.
“Playing,”
is “learning” for children;
it’s a “direction” for adults.
And it’s a “direction” towards a higher realm.
Some people think that “playing” is “spending money,”
compared to the knowledge of “playing,”
maybe the knowledge and meaning of working,
the way to work is fundamentally wrong.
The way to reset your mind,
is to seriously complete your work and feeling the fulfilment,
that’s meaningful.
In the world, to people who do their best in their work,
it’s important not to tired yourself out, you have to look after your body.
The body is the asset.
And the mood is human’s source of power.
I, too,
in order for my heart not to collapse, have fun seriously.
And for my body to be healthy, I train seriosuly.
This is the way it is,
alright…, Im going back to work.
