GACKTIONARY: 100 - I haven’t eaten rice in 10 years. If I eat rice, I won’t be able to maintain my body’s figure.
Other ingredients contain carbohydrates as well,
so that’s why, at present, I don’t have any deliberate need to eat rice.
People would ask “Why?”, but the reason is also very simple. For work. It’s just to maintain my body so that my body shape would not collapse. Rice becomes heavy when it contains water, it makes it easier for the internal organs to sink down, and coming from me, who used to eat large amounts of rice, it is the least helpful food if you want to control the shape of your body. Thinking of my body condition and body shape first, I got rid of rice to make things easier to control, and compensated for it with other foods.
Fat guys have said to me things like “If you don’t eat carbohydrates, you won’t get nourishment, and you’ll lose power” but rather, that’s more like if you were the one to quit it (laughs). Isn’t it because you need power to maintain that fat body that you eat like cattle (laughs).
People often say to me, “Even though you’re Japanese?”, but, in the first place, this is a weird concept too. If you think that you have to eat rice because you’re Japanese, then it becomes a question of why are we making rice so weird even though we’re Japanese? Rice in the past was really high in nutrition, and there was a lot more delicious rice around. However, to increase productivity, we’re using agricultural chemicals at abnormal levels, and using chemically synthesised fertiliser as much as we want. It’s like, “Who does it like that! That wouldn’t make good rice!”. Like, “Are you a sword-wielding samurai!”.
For me, I really love rice. When I’m going to die, I want to be eating rice while dying. When I die, I want to eat rice to my heart’s content, and I want to die saying “I can’t eat any more…” while putting rice into my mouth. Like those would be my last words.
For someone like me, who loves rice this much, I’m holding my stance of giving up rice. This was something that I decided upon when I went solo, to first leave behind something I really love. If I were to put aside something that doesn’t mean that much to me, then I won’t be able to fulfil my dreams. That’s why I set aside the most important thing to me. And that was rice. That’s why I don’t eat rice. In everyone’s perspective, it’s like if you don’t have sex at all. Uesugi Kenshin put down his desire for women. Similar to that, I put down my desire for food. Kenshin denied himself of women, I deny myself of food.
However, even though Kenshin decided to not want women, he drank in large amounts everyday. He loved alcohol. In comparison to that, the thing that I can’t give up is… women I guess. That’s something I can’t really do… (laughs). To Kenshin, it’s alcohol, but to me, it’s women I guess.
