Oh wow so his tattoo is already over ten years old. I believe you have to refresh the colors from time to time as well, aren't tattoos "bleaching out" over time? Must be an expensive thing for sure, a sleeve tattoo...
Why does Kazu hate snakes? Is there a particular reason for it? I mean, not that I am a huge friend of snakes either , but I don't really hate them more than any other dangerous reptiles. Btw, at first I thought the oni was afraid of the snake when I saw the MV3 picture. He has this frown on his face and the snake looks really threatening ...

I just wanted to say, I loved Ponyo XD

and this thread is really interesting ^ ^ *yay pointless comments!*

Not much happening in this thread anymore, but I thought I'd use it for this (couldn't resist):





Is this called "Kazupon" now (you know, like "Gakuhai"...)?

---

Oh, and I really like that one:



Aren't they cute ?

kazupon? XDDD the second pic is cuuuuuuuute

Actually Kazu x Guitar-chan (HE called his guitars guitar-chan so it's not a made up nickname) is a OTP LOLOLOL Hey he's the one who said he sleeps with his guitar LOL the pics are cute though.

Maybe we can convince him that there are other lovable things in this world beside guitar-chans .
You know... he drew Ponyo as a boy. What would Dr. Freud say to that? Dr. Freud would say: "Mr. Kazuhito Iwaike unconciously suppresses his desire for lovable cute girls like Ponyo by drawing them with an... attachment." Isn't that obvious ?

Btw, now I have a real question again. Did I understand this right that the song "Panda" turned out to be Memories? Did he mention somewhere WHY he actually called it Panda before???

Errr....he didn't really say but Hyde said it was because the way he sang the title to the song sounded like panda which erm Memories...Panda HOW does THAT sound even remotely close? But yeah to my understanding Memories was originally called "Panda" for reasons apparently Hyde has no clue about since his answer didn't make sense LMAO!

Hi there !

I'm sorry to intrude if it is not appreciated but since this topic is about Kaz... I couldn't ignore it !

I read it and now I have a few interrogations that need to be cleared out.
First I thought his arm tattoo represented a snake (yes we said it I know XD) and a Hannya mask. They are used in the No theater and basically look like this :

http://www.tattoosymbol.com/articles/hannya.jpg

"The hannya mask is specifically used to represent a vengeful and jealous woman. Her anger and envy have so consumed her that she has turned into a demon, but with some important traces of humanity left. The pointed horns, gleaming eyes, fang-like teeth, combined with a look of pure resentment and hate are tempered by the expression of suffering around the eyes and the artfully disarrayed strands of hair, which indicate passionate emotion thrown into disorder. The deeper and more extreme the coloring of the face, the deeper and more violent run the emotions of the character."

That's what says this site here... And in the Yahoo live talk of 2008 (ooold !) he always says "I may forgive but my Hannya doesn't" which sort of fits with the myth itself. And considering the greenish face of Kazu's Hannya, she may not be that violent
Hum. So yeah. What do you think ? Hannya or Oni ?

And also... Yeah still about the tatto. He got it in 1994 of even before since he already had it when in Spread Beaver. See the picture :

There was something else maybe about his family... Ah yes ! About his instruments. He wanted to be a drummer first but the price of the drums discouraged him XD And before that, it was piano. He started the guitar when he was like 14 with his sister's. He said he would play CDs and try to play with the guitarists so he is self-educated person. Then he used to play with a friend. And also late at night his mother would scold him. Then he says a lot about his first band during high-school and so on.
You can find all this in the MV's Kaz Notes

So here is what I wanted to add after icey =D
(now I'm going back to make my Kazu's rainbow highlights XD)
Yaaay first post !

K.A.Z san's tattoos are really amazing. I think they're all pretty cool and well drawn. And thank you for the explanation about Hannya. It's such an interesting character.

What does it mean having such figure in his body. Is it the way he sees his profound self? Is it someone he loved and turned into it? Is it a distortion of someone who cares for him like a mother or a sister...? is it a teacher he admired? ^^ Interestong~*
