when he was just a little kid, he turned on the TV and saw old Toy'R'Us commercials with the "i dont wanna grow up, im gonna be a Toy'R'us kid" jingle, and his life changed forever...

seriously though, this is kinda depressing:

He doesn’t want children, won’t consider owning a pet, and blames himself for the failure of his marriage to singer and dancer Yuri Ichii, a union that ended five years ago because of what he describes as his unwillingness to care about anyone more than he cares about himself and his work. “I guess I am a child,†he says. “I will always be a child.â€

And it's with juvenile petulance that he talks about how Tokyo’s fashion community has turned its back on him, dismissed him, even laughed at him. "When I die and they make an auction catalog of all my possessions," he says, "then they will understand. Then they will see how important I am."

It is a depressing boast, the angst of an adult expressed through the emotional filter of a child, a pouty version of "Whoever dies with the most toys wins."

good article and very perceptive comment from chris vidal. i am wondering if hf got slighly taken out of context by inadequate translation on the ugly bit, it reads more sensibly as "unfashionable." though, as herpsky mentions his perspective would benefit from a thorough listening to the pop group (c.f. we are all prostitutes)
