The many faces of genius Matsuda Yusaku (part 2)
The many faces of genius Matsuda Yusaku (Part 1)
Once upon a time,there was this little 9 year old girl,who once was captivated by a wonderful,enigmatic 40 year old man named Matsuda Yusaku.The girl who once saw this wonderful human being as a role model and an example to follow,and who once grew up into a teenager and later on,an adult,grown up woman,falling for him,loving with all her strenght and heart.This little child was me.This adult woman today,is me.Today,we are exactly just a month away of Yusaku's 25th death anniversary,and I remember him with love and nostalgy,as he is one of my most beautiful childhood memories.The first person for whom I ever had such true affinity.I don't want to remember how he died.I do want to remember how he lived.These so special childhood innocent feelings turned into love which has grown more and more with the years,and it still does.Why these feelings happened,I will never know how to explain.But they have always been there.And they are still there.May the Universe bless this wonderful soul that was Yusaku,who once came to this world to captivate hearts,bringing smiles and happiness to all those who were lucky enough to live with him,cross his path,be his fans and colleagues.
OMFG,the cuteness!Yusaku getting his head out of water inside a swimming pool!!I just don't understand why he is all dressed up inside the water,though...yeah,maybe this is an excuse from my side so i could see him shirtless but it still doesn't make sense to me,seeing him wearing clothes while inside of a swimming pool.He was one of those people to whom clothes didn't suit well.I mean...well,i know,now i'm being naughty,but yeah,he would look better without clothes....In him,clothes are completely annoying...LOL
But poor Yusaku with all that foam over him,then falling to the swimming pool!Awwww,there is no cuttest guy than him!! <3
My Tribute Video to Yusaku is now LIVE on Youtube to celebrate this day,which saw him being born,the 21st of September.
To you,Yusaku,I humbly dedicate this video,on this so special day that is the day of your birthday.A day which saw a legend being born,a man who brought us all magic.A man who brought us inspiration...A man that transformed his fear and pain into strenght,and even without realizing,changed other people's lives.Today,I celebrate this day.With happiness in my heart.Trying not to remember how he died,but to remember how he lived.Brave and strong soul,you're still in the heart of many people down here.Rebel with a cause,always surrounded by people,but still feeling lonely...I wish you had never felt like that.Such a sensitive heart,such a brave soul,you came to this earth only to stay for so little time...I was only a child when I first saw you,but the day I saw you,changed my life,forever.And I do thank you for that.For the influence,inspiration and strenght that you gave me,even without realizing it.Wherever you are,I do feel you're watching over all of us who love you,cherish you and respect you.
Happy Birthday in Heaven,angel.The skies won one more shining star to fascinate all the angels up there...Be in peace. <3
My CD of genius Matsuda Yusaku has just arrived!!Mother of all gods,I can't believe how good and amazing this man really was.His voice is unmistakably manly,warm,sexy and unique.His songs have such an American influence,but they're so great!I'm so happy!what a great way of starting my weekend!Now I will go to the shower,take my portable Hi-Fi and listen to his awesome voice in high volume!I'm in heaven!!!My favorite song of Yusaku is called ''Try Me Tonight",and it makes me cry...It's so intense and so full of feeling...It hits my heart in such a way that it's really impossible to describe...I am still trying to swallow my tears while listening to it...OMG...Just feeling so sentimental and dreamy now!!!
And here goes another one of genius Yusaku!!!OMFG,his voice takes me to heaven!!! <3
Today,my CD Of Yusaku just arrived!!!Here is one of his songs!!!Awesome rhythm!!!!!
My new profile picture on Facebook...carrying a badge with Yusaku's photo.I prefer Yusaku's photo much more than my own photo,if i may say!
My keyring! A crystal heart,which emanates sky blue light <3
This song awakes such sweet thoughts about Yusaku in my mind,but i don't really understand why.So this is my existential question,and an answer that I will probably never find: Why do I think of Yusaku every time I listen to this song?
Timeless,beautiful photos of Yusaku with his friends and his beautiful wife Miyuki.These photos make me smile,seeing the happiness in Yusaku's eyes.It's something too precious!And in the second photo...We can see Miyuki's stunning beauty.Absolutely beautiful woman,with a sweet smile and kind eyes.No wonder Yusaku fell in love with her.They were a beautiful couple,made for each other.I look at these photos,and this always makes me think how unfair and cruel life can really be.Not only for Yusaku,himself,when he still had an entire life in front of him to be lived,being only 40 years old,but also for sweet,beautiful Miyuki,who lost a wonderful man and exemplar husband,Yusaku's sons Shota and Ryuhei,who lost their beloved father ,Yusaku's friends,who have lost their best friend,and Yusaku's fans,who lost their idol,far too soon,leaving a sense of loss and emptiness,which cannot be expressed in words.The last words describe my own case.I lost Yusaku,my childhood hero and idol,when i was just 9 years old,and even being only that age,the sense of loss,emptiness and grief,were impossible to describe in words.He is part of my best childhood memories and feelings,and still today his memory keeps me smiling and even fighting against all the adversities life throws at me.This man had and still has power and influence over my life and undoubtedly,over those who knew him personally.The grief,tears and emptiness that followed me,for almost 24 years of my life,after Yusaku's parting,are now transformed in strenght,smiles and a strong will to live.To live for me,and for Yusaku,himself.That's how a true fan of Yusaku should be.Always looking ahead,smile,fight,love greatly,no matter what life is like.Yusaku taught me that,with his life story,even without realizing that.And I am grateful to him,for without this strenght and will to live,i would have never reached where i am today.If there are souls who come to this world to teach others,definitely,Yusaku was one of them,teaching us the gift of strenght and resilience,but also the gift of true friendship and love.As a human being,behind his "Star Image",just like all of us,he might not have been perfect,but,in my eyes,his imperfections were what made him perfect.The "Star Image",is deceptive.Unfortunately,many people fall into the trap of "loving" someone for what he/she looks like on TV,movies,whatever it is.But as soon as they discover the person behind the "star",they tend to feel betrayed.It is not the fame that really matters in here,but it is the capability of people to be able to truly respect and love their idols outside the studio,outside the glamour of the movies and TV.The capability of loving their idols for who and what they are,their imperfect side,their mistakes,or whatever it is.PERFECT OR IMPERFECT,HE WAS THE GREAT MATSUDA YUSAKU.REBEL WITH A CAUSE,FIGHTER,LOVER,TEACHER,LEARNER,FRIEND,FATHER,IDOL,AND HUSBAND...A HUMAN BEING WHO HAD THE POWER TO FREE HIMSELF THROUGH SUFFERING,SOMETHING THAT NOT ALL OF US HAVE.
PEOPLE,PLEASE LOOK AT THE WONDERFUL MAN HE WAS,NOT AT THE STAR SIDE ,FOR IT IS IN HIS HIDDEN IMAGE WHERE HIS TRUE BEAUTY RESIDED.
Memorable one this is!Who doesn't love Kudo-san on the series Tantei Monogatari!??Even me,I've got a lighter with a huge flame,just the same way Yusaku had it on the series!!!LOL
Photo of Yusaku edited by myself...This one again,is beautiful.
My facebook cover.This photo is a screenshot of a bonus scene of the DVD "Tantei Monogatari",in the beginning of the movie.
So so happy that my DVD of Yusaku Matsuda has just arrived!"Tantei Monogatari"!But...it has some extras that left me completely WOW!Including nice scenes of him shirtless,showing off his abs,and him singing in the end too!I was too OMFG.It was really too much!Couldn't almost breathe properly!And no,I'm not exaggerating when I say this!Ahhh,Yusaku!Why???!Just why did you have to go so soon???
OK.WHO WAS THE WEIRDO,CRAZY FUCK OF A PRANKSTER WHO LEFT THIS AT THE ENTRANCE OF MY DOOR???IT'S A VALUABLE ZIPPO LIGHTER,WITH THE NAME OF YUSAKU MATSUDA,HIS DATE OF BIRTH AND HIS DATE OF DEATH,ENGRAVED ON IT!EVEN THOUGH I TRULY LIKE THIS ZIPPO,THIS IS NOT BEING FUNNY AT ALL,AND IT'S FREAKING ME OUT,SCARING THE SHIT OUT OF ME!!! I WENT OUT FOR MY LUNCH AND WHEN I CAME BACK HOME,I FIND THIS AT MY DOOR.NO NOTE,NOTHING WRITTEN,NOT A SINGLE CLUE OF WHO DID THIS.ONE THING IS CERTAIN:I REACH THE CONCLUSION THAT WHOMEVER DID THIS,IT WAS AN ABSOLUTELY PREMEDITATED THING!AND NO,AS FAR AS I KNOW,I DON'T HAVE ANY NEIGHBORS WHO ARE FANS OF YUSAKU MATSUDA!! I ASKED MY NEIGHBORS IF ANY OF THEM HAVE LOST THEIR LIGHTERS,AND THEY SAID NO.WHEN I SHOWED THEM THIS ZIPPO,THEY WERE SURPRISED AND DID NOT HAVE A CLUE OF WHO COULD HAVE DONE SOMETHING LIKE THIS.
I ACTUALLY THOUGHT,OF COURSE,IT WOULD BE EASY FOR ANYONE TO LOSE A LIGHTER,HOWEVER,HOW THE HELL WILL SOMEBODY EXPLAIN TO ME THE COINCIDENCE OF HAVING YUSAKU'S NAME,DATE OF BIRTH AND DATE OF DEATH,ENGRAVED ON IT????
