Excerpt and commentary from Henry Scott-Stokes bio.
I just put my copy of BaRaKei up on eBay for a good price. If you’ve wanted it for your collection, here it is.

Italian singer Sköll (Frederico) did a song called Radio Mishima on his concept album ‘Sole e Acciaio’ (“Sun and Steel”) from 2005.
His official web site is here:

Why Writers Are Miserable, and Often Cowardly
I see this kind of thought in reference to Mishima a lot, and I can’t imagine what the author has done that requires more balls than disemboweling oneself to make a point.
I mean really, there are a very select number of men in the word who can throw around the word “coward” and remain immune to mockery. I am sure that I will never in my life be one of them.

The Tokyo Ballet will be staging Maurice Béjart’s “M,” a 1993 ballet inspired by Mishima’s life, December 18 and 19, in honor of the 40th anniversary of Mishima’s death. More here:
