A quick story from Matsumotos Suberenai Hanashi, told by the singer Gackt. Transcribed into a text by yours truly. You know, it's about when I was in middle school. It's a story about the feared Inoguchi Senpai. He was one year above me. When you're around 12-14 years of age, you're outgoing and social. But him, he was always a lone wolf. He was exceptional in fighting, but didn't let people be close with him. He was called "Lupin Inoguchi". There was another known legend: "There is nothing this guy cannot steal". That's what the legend said about him. Since he's a lone wolf, no one has been able to witness anything. He has no group of friends, so I thought the legend was being spread around amongst everyone. So at the first floor of the department store, my friend and I were looking at shoes. I look over and see Inoguchi Senpai coming into the store, looking real pissed. Since he's such a scary person, if you meet eyes with him, he beats you up. I thought: "Oh, shit!". But I noticed he seemed different from the Inoguchi Senpai we see at school. As soon as he comes in, he's like: "don-kats; don-don-kats". He's actually singing out loud! But, I mean, he's a hoodlum, and he's walking around, hunched over. For some reason he was doing that, and singing: "don-kats, don-don-kats; don-kats, don-don-kats". He's looking like a total weirdo, isn't he? I'm sitting here thinking: "wow, he's super sketchy!". I'm looking over going "Inoguchi Senpai is doing something weird". Then my friend says: "Let's go follow him". So we watched him go up the escalator, and followed. But looking behind him, he's definetely still singing, and he continues to do that the whole way up. Other people around him are like: "Don't look; he's dangerous!" Everyone is looking at him in that way- I'm thinking, all the people nearby must be feeling uneasy: they're avoiding eye contact with him. He goes to the top floor of the building, so we were wondering where he's going. We continue following him, to an electronics store with stereos and whatnot. Lined up are all these stereos, and at the time the stereo we wanted the most was the Sony Dodecaphone. The integrated Dodecaphone with speakers on the side. At the time, we absolutely wanted it, but it was expensive, so we couldn't get it. Well, Inoguchi Senpai is standing in front of it, the entire time singing. I'm watching, thinking: "this is bad, something's gonna happen". The workers around him are avoiding eye contact. Then Inoguchi Senpai starts singing, and he picks up the Dodecaphone and places it on his shoulder, still singing. He starts walking with it on his shoulder! Then he starts going down the escalator still singing with the stereo. This is a convicted criminal! He was singing all the way from the entrance just to steal the Dodecaphone. But since Inoguchi Senpai is so intimidating, no one is even looking! His demeanour is exactly the same; the only difference is the Dodecaphone on his shoulder! While singing with the Dodecaphone on his shoulder, he starts leaving the department store, and when the doors close, we're like: "He really is Lupin!"
