Quick question about Murakami. I'm now reading After the Quake and in the About the Author section it lists both him and Jay Rubin, the translator.

It mentions that Murakami has translated F. Scott Fitzgerald, John Irving, Truman Capote and Raymond Carver to Japanese so he must be fluent in English. Is there any particular reason he doesn't do the English translation of his own work?
