Hi, I bring another Snow Man offering - it's Sakuma's solo interview from NYLON! He looked incredibl the in it, I promptly died upon seeing the photos so obviously I had to translate it ;ooo;

This is a pretty serious interview; a lot less anime, a lot more work ethic, but the same old Sakkun we love~ There's some cute Nicoichi moments too!

The Prince of Ice and the Sun: Snow Man’s Sakuma Daisuke

What if there was to exist a prince in this world who would embody both ice, and the Sun...? The new age he would bring about would surely be passionate and yet cool, and somehow ephemerally beautiful.


On one hand, he is the “Sun”, who envelops the world gently, who is always looking ahead no matter what the circumstances, and who gets more passionate than anyone else when talking about “love”. On the other hand, he is “ice”, sticking to his finely-honed aesthetic sense in a manner so cool, it’s almost as freezing as dry ice itself. It’s precisely because he embodies both of these selves, that he is the elegant, beautiful protagonist essential to our story.


The prince of such an era and our protagonist, Snow Man’s Sakuma Daisuke, will artistically carve out his “NEW ME!” while clad in cutting-edge street fashion, and open up the curtains to a brand new age.

I wanted to translate this article but I severely underestimated how much Sakuma is able to talk about anime |D I'm still so thrilled that Sakuma got a cover feature in an anime magazine and got to talk as much as he wants about anime, though! This interview was really fun to translate, because Sakuma gets so excited when he talks about anime.

Brief note: For the names of the anime Sakuma mentions, I've gone with using the official English titles where those exist.

Special interview: Sakuma Daisuke

“I’m an anime otaku, and a member of Snow Man” Just like his memorable self-introduction, Sakuma-san is known for being a natural-born anime lover. Within his passion when he talks about his feelings towards the things he’s into, one can see the depth of his love for it. We ask him to specially tell us about his first meetings with anime and the charm of their stories. Anime has always been right by his side.
