'''"Well, when I started my career, I didn't have much money with me, so it came to black 'cause it looks fairly nice for its price. That's how it started, I think. I hardly care about the fashion. It is of secondary importance for a musician. Take a look at the covers of my records. In the cover of my first album '''My Aim Is True''', the jacket I wear is the one I got it from my friend, my housemate, who nearly threw it away. He said he doesn't need it for it is torn, but I thought it's nice 'cause it looks like a gun hole. In the cover of my second album 'This Years Model', I'm wearing the suit which I bought at a secondhand clothes shop in Minneapolis at US$7. I wore it till the 'Armed Forces' era. Around the time of 'Trust', my life became a little bit comfortable at last, so I ordered a blue silk suit for the first time, but it shrank by the heat of the lights when I wore it on the stage, and was spoiled…..Everything goes like this. It's OK if I feel good in it."''' | '''"Well, when I started my career, I didn't have much money with me, so it came to black 'cause it looks fairly nice for its price.

Though he boasted so, he wears a jacket and shirt by DNKY, and Prada's shoes today. Even if this is because he was conscious of being photograped, still quite a good choice. After the period of wearing whichever clothes he could afford in his younger days, he might have come to a point to refine a sense of fashion, because of his age, or by the trends of the times, I suppose. | Though he boasted so, he wears a jacket and shirt by DNKY, and Prada's shoes today.
