[Traffic stranded on National Route 17 in heavy snow]
This is the news.
Honestly, this isn't a natural disaster.
It's a completely man-made disaster.

Snowy roads are unforgiving to those without the necessary knowledge and equipment.
This isn't just my problem.
It could potentially drag hundreds of vehicles behind me,
and even stop ambulances and snowplows.

I can understand why some people are calling for me to return my license.

The problem isn't driving skill.
It's a lack of risk management.
This is a matter of my very right to be on public roads.

Normal tires in a snowy place.
Ignoring warnings and driving up a hill.
If that's the result,
no matter how you look at it, isn't the cause human negligence?

People who live in snowy regions
should understand how much snow falls
and how dangerous it is.
But the act of still driving in this way is the problem.

In the end,
this lack of a sense of danger comes from getting used to it.
It's the same with earthquakes and other disasters.
When you experience something like this multiple times, you start to think, "It'll be fine this time."
That carelessness leads to accidents and confusion.
It can even lead to death.

Aren't there too many people who fail to prepare for any situation?

They rely too much on convenience,
leaving imagination and crisis management behind.

Is this what they call being complacent?

I think people should live with a bit more of a sense of crisis.

If you think, "Someone will save me in the end...",
then your life is sure to be filled with major trouble.

I've seen a lot of people like that.
It's annoying, even though I know them.

GACKT Official X update. Translation below

Congratulations, Kanata!

Looking back, we met when he was 10 years old,
and I was 28.
It all started with the movie "MOON CHILD."

We celebrated his Coming of Age Day together,
and the first drink I introduced him to was tequila...
Maybe because of that, I can now hold my alcohol load surprisingly well.

Even so,
when I hear that "Kanata is getting married,"
I feel momentarily left behind by the flow of time.

Hasn't everyone experienced this?
When you meet someone when they're young,
you sometimes feel a strange sense of strangeness when you meet them.
When you meet them as an adult,
you're left thinking, "Huh? Who?! Seriously?!"
and it's a bug that prevents the data in your brain from being updated.

This happens because
the first impression is fixed in your brain as a "reference point."
Growth is continuous, but reunions are intermittent.
It's difficult to update the progress along the way.

So,
even though I know in my head that they're adults,
my memory remains the same as it was back then.

Well,
I guess it's more of a feature than a bug...

Even though I understand it in my head, this feeling
happens every time.

Well, more than that...
Once again,
Congratulations.

I hope you'll be happy.
