(Con't) "I think he loves her, the friendship advances..." "He did seem conscious of her being a 'women' during the artificial respiration scene, didn't he?" "Just because Tasuki says he doesn't really like women doesn't mean he has no interest in them physically (laugh)" Yep, but a man's nastiness coming out is actually something deep, right? So is that something where you "Watch out when they're nice"?... Scary (sweat drop) "It was the absolute worst shock for Miaka. Being attacked by someone she thought of as a friend or a big brother..." It's scary (Sweat drop) Something funny, after my assistents had seen "his method of seducing a woman" on TV they said "Tasuki's going all the way" (laugh). Sake loving Tasuki not drinking was a calulated move, wasn't it? He essentially handled a woman well, didn't he?...However, the truth is I merely wanted to hurt Tasuki...Makes you angry, doesn't it? (laugh)...Well, this boy has been wounded and lost friends before but...he was never a character who would hurt HIMSELF. But he had to get hurt in order to become an adult. He was ignorant of love. He's also done a lot of bad things and too often he says things without thinking. (laugh) But compared to all that there was a part of him he particually didn't want to see dragged out in front of everyone. A part of himself even he didn't know about. Rather hard for him to think about. So Taka would have been in trouble if he hadn't dealt with him as an adult (laugh) ...So in the end it resulted in the "Don" scene (My assistents were shocked and cried (tear drop)) The conclusion "What? Tasuki loves Tamahome?" (laugh) He picked Tamahome over Miaka because he is a man who lives for "friendship". He probably chewed out Taka without realizing it's true "strenght". The BGM for this is "Love Phantom" by B'z!!
