In Katsuya’s words, ” I wanted to live in another country, especially a Western country, where the history is totally opposite from Asia. I wanted to learn not only about the language and the culture, but also what they are thinking, how they think about life. In the West, people try to live by their own style. In Japan, we have to follow someone else’s idea, we have to conform to the established norms.”
