(Calm down, Kawakami.)<br /> <br /> It was a late night Sunday culture show. The show was sponsored by Media Works and called Dengeki Awards, but it was really a lot of fun.<br /> <br /> I hung out at a friend’s house and listened to the broadcast there, but on the way back, another friend called me even though it was 3:30 in the morning.<br /> <br /> “Oh, Kawakami? I heard you on the radio, you idiot.”<br /> <br /> “You heard that? What’s this? Are you out drinking?”<br /> <br /> “I’m at work. Now, while I was listening, I started wondering if anything bad had happened to you recently.”<br /> <br /> “What? Why would you think that?”<br /> <br /> “Well, your mood on the radio was something else. You were really intense.”<br /> <br /> “Aren’t I always like that?”<br /> <br /> “Yeah, but that’s not what society thinks an author is supposed to be like. I thought you were gonna ruin their show with all your jokes and casual comments.”<br /> <br /> “Are you saying how I normally act is enough to ruin a radio show?”<br /> <br /> “Dwa ha ha. Well, I had a good laugh about it. Now, a drink to Media Works for allowing that to air.”<br /> <br /> “So you are drinking!”<br /> <br /> As you can see, it was all sorts of trouble. That’s when I realized how much trouble being an author is. (Or is this problem unique to me?)<br /> <br /> But when reading the fan letters from Panzerpolis 1935, there really were a few that said they bought it after hearing me on the radio show, so maybe acting like that was for the best.<br /> <br /> Anyway, my background music while writing was EPO’s Hyakunen no Kodoku (it’s a perfect theme for the final chapter) and I was listening to it again while re-reading the book.<br /> <br /> “Everyone has a part of them that’s like Amon, don’t they?”<br /> <br /> It got me thinking about that.<br /> <br /> Now then, now then. I’m thinking about making Hong Kong the next stage.<br /> <br /> <br /> February 1997.
