Arigato Sakurai-san for leading me to my own music journey.

It has been a long time since Atsushi Sakurai, my all time favourite artist, left this earthly plane. He has been my muse for 10 years. He still is and will be. I think I will never be able to fully grasp that he’s gone. My inability to listen to BUCK-TICK’s songs to this day is the only painful reminder that something has irreversibly changed. My life turned upside down drastically few weeks after the October 19th. Long story short, I had to move out and soon I met someone with whom we created a new music project. I started singing, writing lyrics and scripts, drawing storyboards, editing and directing music videos. Getting such chance to make use of my almost forgotten talents is definitely a blessing but also a curse at the same time. This wild ride is full of creative expansion and painful but transformational relationship experiences.

I don’t know what will happen. Will we be able to make our songs known to the public or will we be forgotten? But now I understand why Buck-Tick and especially Atsushi's way of expressing music through emotional singing, gestures and poetic lyrics became a part of my own artistic journey.

Hey Acchan, if you can hear me, I just want to say, thank you for preparing me for discovering my purpose and for being my endless source of inspiration. I'm deeply grateful for everything I learnt from you about creative expression.

As I prepare to switch over my altar for Koliada, I wanted to share my Dziady altar for Halloween. Marzanna likes when I add dead plants for her so I have a resurrections plant for her along with leaves that have fallen down. Veles is represented with the bear head as well.
