In an interview with Richard Gilbert the author Hoshinaga Fumio said:
“Twenty billion light-years” is almost an infinitely long distance … I had been fooled for so long, concerning any and every fundamental I had been fooled for so long, concerning any and every fundamental thing without knowing any fundamental thing – without knowing any fundamental thing in the first place.
Blood type B is rare in Japan; Type A is happier, but Type B carries a sense of melancholy. So, I felt my rebelliousness or revulsion could not be not blood-type A—it must be blood-type B.

In my case, unfortunately, it's the opposite:
B negative
depression
in the blood
Thank you for the smile and an opportunity to reflect.

Reminded me of
?????????? ???B?
ni-jû oku kônen no gishyô omae no B-gata
twenty billion light-years of perjury: your blood type is "B"
Hoshinaga Fumio ?????
(1933 – )
.
.
Which inspired me to write of my own blood group type:
Blood Moon
my Rhesus positive rising
Alan Summers
Does Fish-God Know (YTBN Press 2012)
B Rhesus Positive blood type
