There are a great many strange things in the world...
But no matter how odd...
How incredible something may be...
If a human does not touch it...
If a human does not see it...
If a human is not involved with it...
It is simply something that happened.
Simply a matter that will fade with time.

Humans.
Mankind.
Homo sapiens.

Humans are the most profoundly mysterious living things in the world!

Opening lines, xxxHoLic ~ CLAMP

You're too radiant! Don't come in here, please!
The stars will switch off!

Sunako at Kyouhei, Volume 22 ~ Yamato Nadeshiko Shichihenge

Did you get drunk on orange juice?

Tokumori at Tsutomu, Gokinjo Monogatari ~ Ai Yazawa

Why? Whats so weird about that?
A person who doesn't have qualities that surprise others is not fun at all.

Mikako, Gokinjo Monogatari ~ Ai Yazawa

It can blow away our pride, our spirits, and our rules...

It is a wind that blows in and disturbs out hearts.

It is a storm called love.

Gokinjo Monogatari ~ Ai Yazawa

It's very painful to feel lonely and not be able to say it aloud.

Mikako, Gokinjo Monogatari ~ Ai Yazawa

Tsutomu...

Somehow always finds out every lie I tell, every secret I keep, every regret...

But...

I'm sure this has nothing to do with miracles or ESP.

It's simply proof that he's always been there beside me for seventeen years.

Mikako, Gokinjo Monogatari ~ Ai Yazawa

In this world...

There probably isn't...

Anyone whom you can dislike from the heart!

Gokinjo Monogatari ~ Ai Yazawa

Now that I think of it,

Tsutomu has always jumped to my rescue in hard times.

He's like some kind of superman,
No... More like a supermonkey!

Mikako, Gokinjo Monogatari ~ Ai Yazawa

There are so many things I wanted to do with my life!
I wanted to become a teacher! I wanted to become an astronaut!
I wanted to own my own bakery, and I wanted to go into Mr. Doughnut's and say, "I'll have them all!" And I wanted to go into Thirty-One and say "I'll have them all!"
Ohhhh... I wish I could live life five times over.
Then I'd be born in five different cities, I'd stuff myself full with different delicious things five times each, and I'd have five different jobs....
And then for each of those five times...
I'd still fall in love with the same person...
Thank you, Kurosaki-kun....
Goodbye.

Inoue Orihime, Bleach ~ Kubo Tite

It's not always easy to see the good in people. In some people, you might even doubt that it's there at all. But if you can somehow, find a way to believe... Sometimes, that's all it takes to help someone, to give them the strength to find the good in themselves.

Honda Tohru, Fruits Basket ~ Takaya Natsuki

Family is other people.
No matter how close you're related by blood... No matter what your relationship may be...
Anyone other than you is not you!

Ichihara Yuko, xxxHoLic ~ CLAMP

Among thousands of comrades and tens of thousands of enemies, only you... only you made me forget my dream.

Griffith ~ Berserk, Miura Kentarou

If you're always worried about crushing the ants beneath you... You won't be able to walk.

Guts ~ Berserk, Miura Kintarou

Life is.. to keep going forward.. even though you are being pulled backwards.. being pulled backwards doesn't make you stupid.. as long as you keep going forward...

NANA 2

If I were the rain
Could I connect with someone's heart,
The way the rain can unite
The eternally separated earth and sky?

Volume 3 (Memories in the Rain) ~ Bleach

What a letdown, Kurosaki-san. A real letdown.
After all, there's nothing but fear reflected in your sword.
When you dodge, 'I'm afraid of getting cut.'
When you attack, 'I'm afraid of cutting someone.'
Even when you try to protect someone, 'I'm afraid of letting them die.'
Yes, your sword speaks to me only of absurd fear.
That's not it.
What's necessary in a fight isn't fear. Nothing can be born from that.
If you dodge, 'I won't let them cut me.'
If you protect someone, 'I won't let them die.'
If you attack, 'I'll cut them.'
Can't you see the resolve to cut you reflected in my sword?

Urahara Kisuke ~ Bleach

Interview question: What do you want KAT-TUN to be like in the future?
Kame: I think we'd like to be like the ocean.
The six of us are all different types of rivers, with different shapes and speeds.
And these rivers find a way to a place called KAT-TUN
*AT-TUN looks at Kame kind of amazed*
And there are no oil spills there, or trash, and we will all keep on changing, every day.
So we would all like to become that kind of a beautiful ocean.
(looks smug and thinks to himself) Yes! That's perfect~
Jin and Koki: Boo! He planned this! I bet he is going to say something like "I'm joking!" in the end right?
Kame: Eh? I wasn't going to say that!
Koki and Jin: *kind of frozen in place*
Jin: But it's also important to us to know... that all the members are enjoying themselves.
Ueda: *getting all fired up and sparkly* It's like there's never been a group like us before!
Like, an impossible sort of group! It's like we are heading world wide!
Breaking out of all limitations easily!
Kame: You have got to be kidding...
Nakamaru: Even though all have individual work, we always return to being together. So it's like that is our goal; our meeting place.
KA-UN: How about you guys? Koki and Taguchi?
Koki and Junno: *together at the same time* I think its fine the way it is.
KA-UN: *falls dramatically*
Koki: Uwaa! They are actually in sync!
Taguchi: Only in these type of things!
Ueda: *recovering slightly* Taguchi... What happend to your service?
Kame: *looking frazzled* You're making the writer cry!
Taguchi: But, I really like it the way it is now! We won't actually know where we end up in the future, even if we think about it now. For now, everyone is watching us, even the news, we don't really have much freedom. This is a hard world.
Koki: I think in KAT-TUN, it's important to become free, and do all the things we want to do.
Nakamaru: Yeah, you actually become violent during concerts! *refering to Kaizoku captain Koki*
Koki: Yep! It's the best! *thumbs up sign*

(KAT-TUN):
But whatever shape we become, KAT-TUN won't really change, and that's good!
Yeah, we'll probably do something stupid till the end!
True!

Harukana Yakusoku ~ KAT-TUN Official Manga

Jin: (to himself) Kame was with me in Gokusen, but this time I'm by myself.
It'll be different from before, and it seems fresh in a new environment.
From Gokusen to Anego, it was hard for me because it was one ofter the other.
Plus my life style changed...
Waking up at 3 a.m. shower, and then go to the set at 4 a.m. Then record until 3 a.m.
It made no sense at all! I don't know!
*lying his head down on his bag*
Urgh, I've had enough of this.
*cell phone starts to ring*
Urgh make it silent...
*cell phone stops ringing*
I always lose my temper when I don't have enough sleep, and my motivation goes down and then I get angry at myself for being like this.
Why am I getting angry over somthing like this?
I'm being stupid!
(outloud) I'm a small person.
Koki: Yeah, we already know that you're that kind of a person.
Ueda: Why are you making an announcement out of it now?
Jin: HUH? *annoyed*
But wearing the suit in Anego does make me look more adult...
KT-TUN: But that's just because of the suit! You look older, but inside you're still a kid! It's your fault!
That's bad!
Jin: . . . *pfftish*
Junno: But that's just the way you are and there's nothing wrong with it, Akanishi-kun!
Nakamaru: No ones expecting anything different from you now!
KT-TUN: *grinning supportively*
Jin: *kinda shocked before breaking into a sparkly grin* Haha~ You idiots~
(to himself again)
I found out that I didn't need words like 'Good Luck", but just words like this.
When I'm with the other five of them, it's okay to be the useless me.

Harukana Yakusoku ~ KAT-TUN Official Manga

Koki: *upon realizing that he has to share the room with Jin*
It's Akanishi!!
I wanted to stay calm and peaceful...
Inside my own world...
But I'm with Akanishi until next morning!
Stuck with Akanishi until morning!
Jin: *blabbing while they are in their beds*
I wanted to do fireworks with my friend one day, but it was raining.
But we still wanted to do it so we went outside, and then the rain stopped!
And then after we finished with the fireworks, the rain started to fall again!
Isn't it cool? I think it was destiny!
Koki: *thinks from where he is lying wit his back to Jin*
Why is he so hyper at night?!
And it's nothing like destiny!
Jin: Koki, did you fall asleep?
. . .
To tell the truth, I actually feel really good when I come back to KAT-TUN after I do my job alone.. ^_^
*suddenly shaking Koki a bit to see if he's really asleep*
Koki? Did you really fall asleep?!
Koki: *blushes and fakes snoring*
