問：你今年夏天去了美國，感覺怎樣？

ing-bottom: 60.9%;">

It is the first time I have been toSan Francisco. It is a very beautiful city. On the first day of our visit wewent to the Golden Gate Bridge. Seeing the bay view was really y time I am watching movies inJapan, the city and the bridge always seem to get destroyed. I didn't know thecity was so beautiful in bridge might not be around nexttime I visit so I'm glad I got to see it.

答：這是我第一次去舊金山。非常美麗的城市。到那兒的第一天我們就去看了金門大橋。海灣的景色真是讓人愉悅啊。我在日本每次看電影，這個城市和這個橋都要被毀一次。但我從不知道這個城市親眼看的話居然有這麼美。下次再來可能就沒機會看這座橋了，所以我很高興這次能看到。

How you think about your workbeing very popular in the west?

問：對於你的作品在西方廣受歡迎一事，你是怎麼看的？

Some of my work has been set inAmerica, so I am very pleased and honored that my work is loved here.

答：我的一些作品也來到了美國，自己的作品能夠在這裏收到喜愛，對此我感到非常的開心和榮幸。

Are there any differencesbetween writing a light novel and writing an anime?

問：寫輕小說和寫動畫劇本有什麼不同嗎？

When I am creating a light novel, Iam creating it mostly alone. When I am working on anime there is a director andthe staff with a point of view on my works. There usually are several revisionsregarding the storyboard. What is interesting is what will come back. It's avery interesting part of the work.

答：寫輕小說的時候，我大部分時候都是獨自創作。但是寫動畫的話，就有會導演，有工作人員，他們會對我的作品提出觀點。關於分鏡往往會有好幾次修訂。有趣的是那些回饋回來的東西。這是工作中非常有趣的一部分。

During your early years wasthere anything that inspired or sparked your imagination to start writing theway that you have done so far?

問：早年是否有什麼東西激發了你的想象力和靈感，讓你開始寫作生涯直到現在呢？

It's quite an odd question, because Ireally wanted to start writing when I read lots of Stephen King stories. Hisstories were quite astonishing and interesting.

答：這個問題好奇怪啊，因爲當我讀了好多斯蒂芬·金的故事之後，我就很想開始寫作了。他的故事真的是又驚人又有趣啊。

Do you feel any of your worksare underrated or wished was a little bit more popular?

問：你有覺得自己的哪部作品被低估了，或者希望它能夠更火一點嗎？

The fact is that I really don't careabout the popularity and also really focus on my work. Every time I alwaysfocus on how best to proceed with the next scene. My focus is on the action andstory, never the popularity.

答：其實我並不怎麼關心作品火不火的，就是專注於自己的作品而已。每次我關注的就是要怎樣用最好地推進劇情而已。我關注的是行爲和故事，不是受歡迎程度。

You've usually stated in pastinterviews that you have connections to your characters. In Aldnoah Zero, whichis currently airing, what do you think is your connection to Inaho?

問：在過去的幾次採訪中，你都提到了你和角色之間的聯繫。那麼在目前播放的Aldnoah Zero重，你覺得你和伊奈帆之間的聯繫是什麼？

I did not create the characters inAldnoah. I made the mainframe of the story until the preliminary version. Butin fact Inaho's character is different than what I wrote. I don't really have aconnection with this character, so this is an exception.

答：AZ裏面的角色不是我創作的。在最初版本出來之前，我給故事寫了大綱。但伊奈帆這個角色最後呈現出來的，其實和我寫的不大一樣。我和這個角色之間沒什麼聯繫，所以說這個人物算是例外吧。

How do you feel about workingwith Ei Aoki again in Aldnoah?

問：這次又和青木榮合作了，你的感覺怎樣？

Aoki-san is a pleasure to work withon storyboard. With Aoki-san on the team it feels like a sure thing. The visionof these animations will be perfect.

答：和青木桑一起處理分鏡真的是一件很快樂的事呢。有一種“隊伍裏會有青木桑是毫無疑問的吧“這樣的感覺。有了他，相信動畫的表現就不會有問題了呢。

Last question: a lot of thework you've donebrings out a lot of strong emotions in a way that it kind of questions themorality of heroism and justice. Is there anything related to you that makes us think of ourselves being a hero or yourself as one?

問：最後一個問題——在你的許多作品中，你總以強烈的感情質疑正義，質疑英雄主義是否道德。那麼你對於成爲英雄這種事是怎麼看的呢？

A hero is one that doesn't want to bea hero. A hero is a one with all the possibility to make the choice but takethe responsibility of the moment. And it's really something hero has got to example, in 9/11 some of the plane's passengers fought with the Fukushima's radiation leak, some people went and tried to fix the nuclearplant and died. But they have to do it. They are heroes. They don't try to beheroes. They take responsibility and try to do what is right.

答：英雄是一個不想成爲英雄的人。英雄是那種明明完全可以選擇，但卻選擇在那個時刻承擔起責任的人。那就是英雄所要做的事。舉個例子，在911實踐中，飛機上的一些乘客曾經和恐怖分子搏鬥。在福島輻射泄露實踐中，有些人前往當地試圖修理核電站，並且因此而死。但他們必須這麼做。他們是英雄。他們想要的並不是“當英雄”，而是承擔責任，做正確的事。
