Interview

TranslationTranscript

Sam Raimi: Actually, the original comics are also a romance story for men. American boys are shy to read plain love stories. How about in Japan?

Araki: I’ve liked such books since I was a kid. Rather than seeing a happy ending, Japanese people like it when they’re torn apart by fate, so it’s nice that even “Spider-man” has the feeling of wanting to cry. Love is a painful thing (laughs).

Raimi: Do you convey that to your readers through your work?

Araki: I had many painful experiences in real life, too (laughs).

Raimi: So you’re a love expert (laughs).

Missing full transcript.

サム:実は、原作のコミックは男のコ向けの恋愛小説でもあるんですよ。アメリカの少年は明かな恋愛ものを読むのを恥ずかしがるんで。日本ではどうですか?

荒木:僕は子供の頃からそういう本が好きでした。日本人って、ハッピーエンドより運命に引き裂かれるのが好きなんで『スパイダーマン』でも泣きたい感じがあっていいですよね。恋愛って切ないものなんですよ(笑)。

サム: 作品を通して読者へそれを伝えてるんですか?

荒木:実体験も切ないことのほうが多いですから(笑)

サム:愛のエキスパートなんですね(笑)。
