Author's Note

“

You know what? I don't believe in aliens. In the past, I've seen an UFO but I'm sure it was an optical illusion, and after all I want to say: "So what?" But I just read a book from someone named Hiroshi Minamiyama and, with all the super realistic details, I begin to ask myself if these aliens are really here... Whatever, it amuses me to have my imagination stimulated like this.
