Follow Sakito @suck_it_nm. So far, he has only been writing about the current situation following the earthquake and tsunami. The good news is, all of the members’ families are safe and unharmed.

Nightmare’s Sakito Showcasing a Beautiful Semi-Nude Shot
Reported on: Feb 17, 2011
SHOXX, the specialty music magazine that will go on sale February 21st, will have Nightmare’s guitarist, Sakito, in its first semi-nude shot in their 218th volume.
Genius photographer, Mr. Toru Hanai, had collaborated on this project theme, “NUDE~ Shintai (Kokoro) wo Hadakanishite~”, a concept which took about a year to come into fruition. From the beginning, Sakito himself was persuaded to be involved in this in the office and had troubles going with it…Hats off to the fighting spirit of the editor in charge.
For those who know of this photographer, Hanai Toru’s photographing technique perfectly pulls out the subject’s “au naturel” personality. Photographing Sakito this time for “NUDE~ Shintai (Kokoro) wo Hadakanshite~,” he wanted to capture this beautiful theme of “seeking to capture Sakito’s natural ‘beauty’,” something we have yet to see up until now. Please look forward to seeing this beautiful appearance that had bee skillfully put together in transcribing Sakito’s complete feminine-like beauty.
