This Rayearth interview was the first one I translated from Japanese and I’m really proud of it. Ohkawa’s words are very touching, I just ho
Ohkawa: First of all, think that you can be happy, and believe it from the bottom of your heart, then hope that the people you love will be happy too. If you like someone, surely someone likes you too. So, if you don’t want to see that person to grieve, take care of yourself. The words that have been repeatedly said in Rayearth “A heart that believes becomes power” are meant for you to believe in yourself and believe in those you love. That’s why there are three Magic Knights instead of one.
As I said earlier, I don’t think there is an answer or a constant justice that is the correct one for everyone. Justice is fair only to one person. It’s ideal to have a world where everyone can be happy, but it’s going to be difficult. There are many people in the world, and some people think that the world should be somewhat disrupted (laughs). But remember, everybody has their own way of thinking. Values are really different. Just because you don’t like something that you don’t agree with, don’t judge it as bad. But that diversity is only achieved with the basic thought of not hurting yourself or others.
Quoting here for my own reference because I really love this interview and translation, and because "hey guess what, your friends actually care about you and would be Upset if you didn't care for yourself the way they do" is apparently really hard for my solitary brain cell to comprehend, still.
