My Last Words<\/strong><\/p>\n

The light of my life is finally about to fade.<\/p>\n

The fact that this message has been posted means that the time has come at last. I am no longer in this world.<\/p>\n

(This final message was entrusted to someone dear to me.)<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

My life was a series of battles. I kept on winning.<\/p>\n

I also caused a lot of trouble.<\/p>\n

I take pride in having fought through to the end according to my own convictions.<\/p>\n

I have no regrets.<\/p>\n

However, I am filled with sorrow that I was unable to deliver a new work to my fans. I\u2019m sorry.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s how it is.<\/p>\n

So it goes.<\/p>\n
