[Share] My Favorite Music

Just realize I never share anything about my favorite music here, I guess just posting some random lyric wasn't enough eh? hehe~
Well, I listen to almost every genre of music but my favorite are; classic, pop, post-hardcore, rock alternative, and sometimes electronic.
Most of the song on my playlist is Japanese song, but I also have plenty western songs, some Korean song (I'm currently in love with Big Bang after getting poisoned by my friend but well who won't get addicted with TOP's voice anyways? :p) and some random Thai, Indonesian (yes I'm an Indonesian. It's not like I don't appreciate my country's music it's just I think I like Japanese song much better~) and Chinese song.

[J Movie] The Brain Man

Hola peeps!! how are you? akhirnya kembali ngeblog setelah beberapa lama yaa~ miss me? pffftt :p

Well, lately have been really busy with some university stuff. No one have ever told me there would be something like kalkulus on university *sniff* and sickness that come to me every once a month is really annoying! Baru seminggu yang lalu harus bolak-balik kedokter gara-gara ISPA dan Hepatomegali (pembengkakan liver). Normally, I'm not a weak person, but after the typhus incident, I'm easily get fever and other weird sickness huhu T_T

But I'm back today!!! to review Ikuta Toma's movie I've just watch. So...enjoy!! :D
(FYI, I'm not Ikuta Toma fans but he's so hot in this movie I'm becoming one of his fans right away haha :p)

Title: The Brain Man (No Otoko)
Genre: Action, Mystery, Sci-Fi
Cast: 
  • Ikuta Toma
  • Matsuyuki Yasuko
  • Eguchi Yosuke
  • Nikaido Fumi
  • Ohta Rina




Brain Man, film yang nggak sengaja saya temukan ini bener-bener worth to watch! Awalnya tertarik gara-gara judulnya yang mirip sama Mr. Brain (one of my most favorite dorama!) dan posternya yang bergambar si cakep Toma *uhuk*  dan mengira ceritanya juga bakal mirip, tentang detektif-detektif gitu. Tapi ternyata saya salah!! *JDERR* ternyata alur ceritanya bedaaaaaaaaa jauh dari yang namanya cerita detektif. Sure this movie has police and detective on it, but hoho ceritanya bukan tentang investigasi atau sesuatu seperti itu.

Cerita dimulai dari sebuah scene dimana dua orang cewek tengah menyiksa seorang tante-tante dengan memotong lidahnya (nah sampe sini, yang merasa ga suka film bergenre gore berheti baca deh :p) lalu menyuruh ibu itu untuk naik ke bus dan meledakkan bom yang ditaruh di tubuh ibu itu. Polisi yang menyelidiki tentang kasus pengeboman mereka yang entah udah berapa kali ini akhirnya menemukan tempat persembunyian 2 orang ini dan disana mereka menemukan cowok super ganteng (guess who :p) bernama Suzuki Ichiro. Langsung aja deh sih Suzuki ini dibawa ke kantor polisi gara-gara dikira pelaku TwT

Suzuki ini aneh, ga berekspresi dan diem aja sepanjang waktu, tapi tiba-tiba aja cowok aneh ini menyerang salah seorang tahanan lainnya dan mencabut sebelah mata tahanan itu (eww right? but Toma is still handsome :3b) gara-gara Suzuki mendengar bagaimana si tahanan itu membunuh seorang tante-tante dan menceritakannya tanpa menyesal sedikit pun. Karena dianggap ada yang ga beres sama dia, dipindahin lah si Suzuki ini dari penjara ke sebuah rumah sakit buat kriminal yang gangguan jiwa gitu. Disini dia ditangani sama seorang psikilogi cewek bernama Washiya Mariko (Matsuyuki Yasuko) yang berasa aneh banget dah sama cowok yang nggak biasa ini.
Bayangin deh, Suzuki selalu bangun tidur, makan siang, dan ke toilet di jam yang persis sama, ga telat dan ga lebih sedetikpun, padahal di ruangan selnya ga ada jam. Udah gitu, cowok ini juga ga menunjukkan reaksi terhadap rasa sakit. Kalo ditanya juga jawabannya formal kaku gitu dan ga pernah berekspresi, Lebih anehnya lagi, hasil tes ga menunjukkan kalo cowok ini menderita gangguan jiwa apapun. Nah loh :s 

Setelah ditunjukkin sebuah  buku arsip yang memuat subjek penelitian tentang seseorang yang kelakuannya mirip si Suzuki, Mariko pun mengunjungi penulis buku itu yang adalah mantan psikologi seperti dia. Dari si mantan psikologi ini Mariko tau bahwa Suzuki emang udah aneh dari kecil, ga berekspresi dan ga pernah berkomunikasi. Tapi yang lebih mengejutkan adalah ternyata cowok ini juga super jenius! bisa mengigat semua hal hanya sekali baca (mirip Naoki yah? :v) dan menyelesaikan puzzle super susah hanya dalam beberapa jam. Ya tapi tetep aja, walaupun jenius nih cowok kagak bisa berinteraksi kayak manusia normal gitu -,- ga hanya itu yang Mariko tau, ternyata sama kakeknya, Suzuki ini dijadikan mesin pembunuh yang hanya mengadili orang jahat O_O

Salah satu bomber (Fumi Nikaido) yang diserang Suzuki di hari dia ditangkap dan disalah kira sebagai pelaku itu tertarik sama Suzuki dan bermaksud buat membunuh cowok ini. Walaupun percobaan pertamanya gagal dan membuatnya kehilangan partner, nih cewek psycho ga nyerah begitu aja. Dia nyulik dokter Mariko dan meledakkan rumah sakit tempat dokter itu berkerja untuk memancing Suzuki supaya menemuinya dan dimulai lah pertarungan (?) sengit di antara mereka berdua.

Sebenarnya film ini ceritanya ga bagus-bagus amat sih, lumayan seru tapi endingnya sedikit menyebalkan -_- Tapi....karena ada Ikuta Toma nilai plusnya jadi bertambah dan highly recommended buat fansnya mas Tomasu ini :3

Naoki ini pinter banget, IQnya 200, udah gitu kaya plus ganteng pula dan tentu aja bukan cuma Kotoko yang mau sama si perfect Naoki ini. Suatu hari, Kotoko nekat memberi Naoki surat cinta yang tentu aja langsung ditolak sama Naoki bahkan tanpa dibaca TwT

Meskipun udah ditolak, Kotoko tentu aja ga menyerah! Satu hari setelah Kotoko menyatakan cintanya pada Naoki, rumah barunya kejatuhan meteor sebesar 3cm dan hancur ._. dan saat mereka ga punya tempat tinggal, seorang teman lama ayahnya Kotoko mengizinkan mereka untuk tinggal dirumahnya. Dan ternyata sahabat dari ayah Kotoko itu adalah ayahnya Naoki!!! 


Tentu aja Kotoko senang banget bisa satu rumah sama Naoki. Tapi tentu aja ga semudah itu buat Kotoko dapetin hati Naoki yang super cool itu. 

Nah nah penasaran kan sama gimana kelanjutan ceritanya? Disaranin banget deh nonton ini film, di jamin bakal ngakak ngeliat kebodohan Kotoko dan bakal dibuat deg-degan sama sifat labilnya Naoki-kun~

Matsumoto began his career in the entertainment industry when he joined the Japanese talent agency Johnny & Associates in 1996 at the age of 12.

  • Watching emotional movies makes him cry sometimes. But he doesn’t like people to see him cry. When he was younger he watched the movie Forrest Gump with his family.

Finally, when he could no longer keep in his emotions, he ran out of the theatre and cried.
  • Got a wind cellar at his house.
  • Hideaki Takizawa (of Tackey and Tsubasa) is his good friend. For Hideaki’s birthday a couple of years ago, Jun brought him a balloon and a cake at midnight.

  • Oguri Shun got the role of Hanazawa Rui in Hana Yori Dango because Jun told producers that he would not play Domyouji if Shun didn’t get the role of Rui.
  • He didn’t like the Hana Yori Dango curls as much as any of us because of the fashion problems it posed on him. When he was on set, it was fine because he had costumes; but once he was out, he couldn’t find anything in his wardrobe to compliment his curly hairstyle.

  • Many people say that Jun is so dedicated to his acting that he stays in character for the duration of the filming even during the variety shows.
  • He is very devoted to Arashi, and has been quoted by one of the bandmates as "if Arashi was in a building and it collapsed, Jun would be the one holding up the pillars so the other members can escape!"
  • Jun is not a very friendly person...he won't approach a person unless the person makes the first move. He keeps to the people he knows well.
  • He likes to cross his legs while sitting.
  • Because many Arashi fans were lured into Arashi by Jun (usually Gokusen, Hanadan or KWP), fans have nicknamed it the 'jun-bait'.
  • Jun seems to have this anime/manga thing going on in his screenwork!
  • Happiest moment was when he made his debut
  • Good in soccer and proud of it too. He can do 100 times of lifting (whatever that is) supposedly, however, he was once asked to demonstrate for the MYOJO magazine interview and he couldn't even complete 3!!!
  • He would always discard all the deep fried stuff in his bento before tucking in

  • Favourite activity at the beach is swimming and playing with a dog (but he doesn’t have one).
  • During an episode of Music Station, he was seen staring intently at Utada Hikaru beside him. In fact, Jun-kun and Hikki-chan were challenging each other to pick their nose in front of the camera. Hikki-chan didn’t, but Jun did at the end of the show when he was answering Tamori’s question!
  • Loves attention.
  • Has a rack of clothes above his bed, as it’s ‘convenient’ to grab something instead of searching through his wardrobe. Jun used to have a room so messy that sometimes when he slept, he would jerk awake when clothes fell onto his face. Now though, he has a sort of clothesline above his bed, and he just grabs the clothes he wants to wear, saying its a lot more convenient.
  • The places he would love to visit are Los Angeles and Las Vegas. He was able to visit both-- Las Vegas, for the filming of Hana Yori Dango Final (2008) and L.A. for the advanced screening of his movie Kakushi Toride no San Akunin (2008).
  • He greatly admires Johnny Depp, Janet Jackson Kevin Spacey, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Brad Pitt as actors. He also enjoys Kabuki.
  • Aoki Kotomi, the author of the manga "Boku wa Imouto Ni Koi O Suru", confessed being so excited that she nearly fainted when she found out that Jun was chosen to play the lead role of brother, Yori. She is a big fan of Matsujun and named one of her manga characters "Jun" because of him.
  • Jun is very picky about movie/drama scripts, and will only act the roles and scripts that interest him.
  • One of the reasons why Jun took on the role of Domyouji Tsukasa was so that Arashi could release a new single, "Wish".
  • Sato Atsuhiro is a very respected senpai of Jun. He feels that they are "fated" to be friends since they share the same birthday and hobbies.
  • He likes dry plums so much that he stole them away from Aiba.
  • His height when he first entered Johnny’s: 150cm.
  • When he was in 2nd grade, there was an incident wherein he ran out onto the road and was knocked over by a van and was severely injured. Despite this, he was as chirpy and cheerful as he could be. So cheerful that when the ambulance came, he just kept apologizing to the uncle, saying he was naughty for running out onto the road.
  • He really likes KichiToka workroom's "Sound of Waves" and has watched it over four times.
  • In the Official Arashi Calendar 2001, Jun’s pictures were edited to hide his leg hair, but there are still some pictures that “they forgot to edit”. Sho kept teasing Jun about this, as Sho thinks this is really entertaining.
  • Loves to change his hairstyle.
  • During Video Concert, he forced Ohno to sleep with him on the same pillow.
  • During elementary days, he saw a white floating figure when he was visiting a deserted hospital with his schoolmates.
  • He joined a ‘courage competition’ during elementary school, they had to go through the forest in the night without light to reach their destination. Because he was afraid, he walked in the middle of the line.
  • His personal time is from 12mn-3am.
  • He is never able to sleep whenever he is in the same room with Aiba or Nino, because Aiba grinds his teeth and Nino howls in the middle of the night.
  • He knows quite a number of shojo manga since his older sister used to buy a lot, and he used to read them too when he was younger. :p
  • His shoe size is 26.5 cm (size 10)
  • In June 1999, he knew they will debut, but he didn't find out they'll be name Arashi until the end of August when he was told by Nino and Sho.
  • The first thing he does in the morning is wash his face.
  • He loves to change his hair style.
  • He didn’t really like Oguri Shun at first when they met in Gokusen, but now they’ve become good friends.
  • He worries quite a fair bit about Arashi and how the public will respond to them, especially overseas fans.
  • He’s troubled over the fact that he gets recognized easily even though he tried to disguised himself.
  • At an interview for "Natsu no Koi wa Kijiiro ni Kagayaku" Jun-san confessed that he had never felt in love at first sight and that he would like to know how is that like.
  • For his 27th birthday Arashi members (along with staff members from Hitmitsu no arashi-chan and Arashi ni Shiyagare) prepared him a surprised party, they rented an Italian restaurant and told him that they were going to film one of the episodes of Himitsu no Arashi-chan at the restaurant. When they got there they gave him presents and presented a video of the 4 members of Arashi (Matsumoto-san was not in it) consisting of pictures their debut to present and special narrations and music put by each member. Matsumoto-san was moved to tears and said: "IT IS HAPPINESS TO BE A MEMBER OF ARASHI".
  • As he had recently become interested in Onzen (Hot springs) and Yakiniku (Korean BBQ) Arashi members Nino and Ohno got him hot spring vouchers as his 27th B-DAY present; while Aiba and Sho got him "free vouchers for 10 servings of yakiniku".
  • In 2004, he wrote a song called 'La Familia' in honour of ARASHI's fifth anniversary, and performed it at the Iza Now! concert. This song penned by him, and indirectly as a gift for his own band members, it tells the story of their journey, right from the day it all started in Hawaii, where they debuted.
  • Like other members of Arashi, Jun too has his own variety of solo's. His voice isn't the greatest, but Jun has improved greatly over the years, and sings various solo's during the group's tour concerts. Perhaps the most notable one was his solo, Yabai Yabai, a cutesy tune which mostly starts off with Jun performing various stunts whilst hanging from a wire from the concert dome.
  • Jun was once designated "Comedy Leader" of Arashi, but has lost that image as he grew up. Now, Jun is more known for his frank nature and sharp tongue, and has more then once been called a "DoS", which means extreme sadist, by his bandmates. Even Jun admits he is rather neurotic, and methodical. But even so, all of them has stated that he cares the most for the members and the group itself (though that fact can be debatable, since its not clear who loves the group more then the other), and has stated they had never properly fought ever since they were brought together, mostly due to the peaceful nature of their leader, Ohno Satoshi, and Aiba Masaki's crazy antics, a fact supported by Sakurai Sho, a fellow bandmember. Jun is also known for his serious work ethic, doing several projects at the same time.
  • A lot of publicity was generated when he made an appearance at the 47th Golden Melody Awards in Taiwan in June 2006. Dressed in a grey suit, he was frequently referred to as 'Prince Charming' in the Taiwanese media reports. 200 fans were at the airport to receive him and he recited a few Mandarin phrases while presenting the Best Directoraward.
  • Aside from acting and singing, Matsumoto has taken on hosting duties by co-hosting Utawara HotHit10 with Aya Matsuura and Wada Akiko. The most well-known moments in that program were Matsumoto's arguments with Akanishi Jin of KAT-TUN.
  • As of June 2006, he became part of an unofficial group within Johnny's Entertainment called 'No Border', which includes members like Yamashita Tomohisa of NewS, and Takizawa Hideaki of Tackey & Tsubasa. The purpose of 'No Border' is for its members to interact freely and bypass the sempai-kouhai relationships formed by JE. At the moment, he is aged 23.
  • His acting is not restricted to only onscreen work. He ventured into theatre in 2004, in a stage play of the Japanese version of 'West Side Story' as the Latin America gang leader Bernardo, and exhibited some dazzling dance moves along with his stunning acting skills. His butai in 2006, 'White Valkryie' had its tickets selling on Yahoo! Auctions for staggering prices.
  • However, it was interestingly noted that although he portrays a cool image in his work, the real Jun is a dork. He loves Harry Potter, is a bookworm, wears spectacles, and has certain nerdy actions that expose his true personality. He is the illustration of a normal boy turned a star, a normal person with enormous talent and charisma.
  • Jun can now be considered one of the best young actors in Japan, if not Asia. He is widely recognized among Japanese dorama/music fans, and has shown his talent in a variety of difficult acting roles.

[Anime] Ano Hi Mita Hana no Namae wo Bokutachi wa Mada Shiranai

minna~ ohisashiburi..genki desuka? hihihi
Seperti biasanya, saya nggak bisa tidur dan memutuskan untuk membuat review anime. Sebenarny anime ini udah lumayan lama saya tonton, but I think it still worth to review~


  • Title: Ano Hi Mita Hana no Namae wo Bokutachi wa Mada Shiranai (We Still Don't Know the Name of Flower We Saw That Day)
  • Genre: Drama, Friendship, Supranatural
  • Soundtrack: Galileo Galilei-Aoi Shirori; Scandal-Secret Base
  • Seiyuu: 


      1. Tomatsu Haruka
      2. Kondou Takayuki
      3. Kayano Ai
      4. Sakurai Takahiro
      5. Hayami Saori
      6. Irino Miyu








Anime super sedih ini bercerita tentang 6 orang teman masa kecil. Mereka selalu bersama-sama dan bahkan membangun sebuah markas rahasia diatas bukit. Namun persahabatan mereka berakhir saat salah satu dari teman mereka, Honma Meiko (Kayano Ai) jatuh kesungai dan meninggal. Bertahun-tahun setelah itu, Yadomi Jinta (Irino Miyu) yang telah tumbuh dewasa, berhenti pergi kesekolah. Suatu hari di musim panas, dia didatangi oleh hantu Menma. Hantu Menma bilang, dia kembali ke dunia ini karena punya urusan yang belum selesai namun tidak bisa mengingat urusan apa yang ingin diselesaikannya. Menma meminta Jinta untuk mengumpulkan teman-temannya yang lain untuk membantu Menma menyelesaikan urusannya dan supaya bisa pergi ke surga. Jintan yang merasa bahwa salahnya lah maka Menma meninggal setuju untuk membantu Menma, Namun, tentu saja ga mudah bagi sahabat yang sudah tidak berbicara bertahun-tahun itu untuk kembali berteman, apalagi Jinta dianggap mengada-ada dengan mengataka bahwa dia bisa berbicara dan melihat Menma. Nah nah, penasaran kan sama apa wish sebenarnya Menma dan apa 5 sahabat itu bisa memperbaharui persahabatan mereka?

Anime ini worth banget buat di tonton, feel persahabatan dan cintanya itu berasa banget. Jalan cerita yang penuh arti dan hubungan kompleks antara mereka yang buat anime ini tambah sedih. Dijamin, airmata bakal nyocor sejak episode 10 T^Tb

[J-Drama] Bambino

Konbanwa~ saya baru saja selesai menonton drama Matsumoto Jun yang judulnya Bambino dan feel like sharing it !! Aaaa dorama yang satu ini bagus  plus bikin ngiler >w<d


  • Title: Bambino
  • Genre: Cooking
  • Soundtrack: We Can Make It-Arashi
  • Cast:
    1. Matsumoto Jun
    2. Osamu Mukai
    3. Sato Ryuta
    4. Karina
    5. Sasaki Kuranosuke
    6. Uchida Yuki
    7. Kitamura Kazuki






Drama yang diadaptasi dari manga  karangan Sekiya Tetsuji ini bercerita tentang seorang chef amatir yang sedikit sombong bernama Ban Shogo (Matsumoto Jun). Ban adalah mahasiswa yang berkerja part time di sebuah restoran itali di tempat tinggalnya, yaitu Hakata, Fukuoka. Suatu hari, owner restoran tempat Ban berkerja menyarankan Ban untuk pergi ke Tokyo, ke sebuah restoran Italia bernama Baccanale yang dimiliki oleh salah satu temannya, Ban tentu saja dengan senang hati pergi dan berkeraja di restoran itu selama beberapa minggu. Tapi ternyata, berkerja di restoran besar ga segampang yang Ban kira. Disana para chef sama sekali ga bersahabt dengannya, plus restoran itu super sibuk dan menu-menunya memakai bahasa Itali. Akhirnya, karena ga bisa menyesuaikan diri Ban disuruh menjadi assistan salah serang chef bernama Nozomi Katori (Sato Ryuta). Ban pun sadar kalau dia bukan apa-apa jika dibandingkan dengan chef-chef di Baccanale dan karena itu dia dijuluki Bambino (bayi yang tidak bisa melakukan apa-apa) oleh chef kepala disana.

Ga terasa, waktu magang Ban selesai. Setelah kembali ke Hakata, Ban memutuskan untuk berhenti kuliah dan berkerja di Baccanale. Dengan mengorbankan masa depan akademik dan putus dengan pacarnya, Ban pun kembali ke Tokyo, ke Baccanale. Namun disana, Ban tidak bisa langsung berkerja menjadi chef, melainkan harus 'magang' menjadi waiter selama setahun. Dengan setengah hati Ban melakukan pekerjaannya sebagai Waiter dan tentu saja karena itu Ban melakukan banyak kesalahan. Tapi akhirnya, Ban belajar bahwa untuk bisa menjadi chef yang pro, dia harus tau bagaimana ekspresi dan perasaan orang-orang yang memakan masakannya. Dibantu rekannya, chef Asuka (Karina) dan Masashi (Osamu Mukai) Ban belajar menjadi waiter sempurna.

Ending film ini climax, jadi bisa dijamin penonton bakal merasa puas, walaupun agak disayangkan sih makanan Italia yang banyak disorot cuma pasta u_u By the way, hati-hati ngiler pas nonton ya, abisnya makanan Italia keliatan enak banget, apalagi dolcenya~ XD

Lalu sebelum sempat memberi petunjuk tentang kasus yang terjadi 15 tahun yang lalu pada Ryuuichi, partnernya dibunuh. Lebih parahnya, adik si partner, Ayasato Mayoi (Mirei Kiritani) malah di jadikan tersangka. Ryuusei berusaha keras untuk membela Mayoi.

***

-How did you feel singing Hadakanbo?
It was funny! There are so many people who keep hidden theirselves but this song tells to talk honestly opening your heart.

-What kind of kid was the one we saw on the jacket?
My mom said that I was always walking stuck behind her.

-What is the imaginary behind the lyrics of Aoi and Friday night?
I wrote Aoi when I was 19 yrs old. Aoi is a sad, lonely song. Friday night is a song about a boy who tries to approach the girl he likes. I think that the images pop out naturally listening to them.

-When do you usually write songs?
There are times when I put myself down to write but sometimes they come out from simple humming.

-Tell us about your GOOD and BAD sides.
The GOOD is that I hate to lose. The BAD is that I can't wake up early.

-Do you like girls with double personality?
Girls always have a strong side and a weaker, cute one, right?

-What is the musical genre that had an influence on you?
Everyone. Music is experience too. Everything you listen leaves an inconscious echo in your head.

-What is your objective, musically speaking?
I want to sing with all my might! It uses to say "Heart, tecnique & physique" so as you can see heart always comes first.
[Term to describe the three qualities of a sumo wrestler]

-Recently you've sung again "Seishuun amigo" as "Shuuji to Akira", how did it feel?
It was exciting! So funny!

-Which is the song most funny to sing live?
Everyone! (lol) I think that Party don't stop is perfect for a concert.

-Give us some highlights for your solo tour.
Swords! We're thinking to use illuminations that looks like katanas.

-What did the members do during the last of the year?
Tegoshi was always playing videogames. Koyama was reading or studying, Shige was writing something at the computer. Massu probably was eating nikuman (lol). Ryo-chan on the last of the year was super busy between NEWS and Kanjani8.

-Tell us a funny episode from the shootings of Ashita no Joe.
They're over! (lol) I couldn't eat, I couldn't sleep. Looking back at it now it was a good experience, though.

-During the shootings there was a food you were craving for?
Rice and noodles.

-Do you have some point in common with Joe?
I'm not as cool as him. Joe is able to stand up after falling thousands times, he never gives up, he's really cool. I think that I have only this kind of will as him.

-You worked out to build a wonderful boxer's body, give some advice to people who want to diet.
Don't ever do a diet! (lol) While you're young it's better if you don't.

-What do you like in your new forged body?
The abdominal muscles. I did my best with them!

-You're hungry of what?
Work. For the rest I'm ok as I am now (lol). There's something I'd like to eat now though.

-What would you like to do for your girlfriend?
I would do anything!

-She's late for a date, how much long would you wait?
I wouldn't wait. I would call her, right. If I can't get in touch with her I'd wait for around 1 hour.

-What are the words that would surprise you with pleasure if told by a girl?
Something like "Don't worry!", words that express encouragement and care.

-What do you have absolutely to do before going out?
Look out for fire (lol) Honestly, just closing the door with keys. If it's for work I try to wake myself up the most possible!

-What is your favourite food this winter?
Hot pan.

-This month it's out Velentine issue. Even if you're an adult now do you still get nervous and excited for Valentine day?
I do. Even as adult I'm nervous (lol). If I receive chocolate from people who work with me I'll be happy. From the very morning it will be a day kinda different from the others.

-Confession from a girl, yes or no?
YES! I think that in love there are no rules. An approach or a confession from a girl are possible. Of course the results will depend only to the other person though.

***

Q. You wake up and it’s already the meeting time! What’s the first thing you do?
For the moment, I’d call my manager. But I wouldn’t panic. If you panic and then forget things you’d end up getting upset right? But I’m never this late in the first place. The one I always end up doing is doing it half-assed with being 10 minutes late (laugh) I somehow always end up being 10 minutes late. It doesn’t work even if I wake up 10 minutes earlier. My sense for those 10 minutes are probably off.

Q. Imagine you’ve returned to being a high school student. You were confessed to by a girl. Please turn her down while trying to hurt her as little as possible.
“I’m sorry, it’s impossible now but….can you wait for me? I mean, this is really rushed”. Hmm but fi I do that then the girl will still have some affection left. Turning someone down is hard!

Q. The person that you’ve been together with lately?
Probably my computer. Eh, that’s not a person? Well, well (laugh) I just leisurely surf the web and I always catch a big wave every day (laugh) I also watch people’s performances a lot. Foreign people have such a high level. I feel really moved and I tell my friends ‘Hey, look at this! Isn’t it amazing?’. I don’t want to lose to that!

Q. During a concert or a play, your mind becomes completely blank. Well, what do you do?
I’m really bad at trying to not get people to notice these things. They always look like ‘Ah, he’s forgotten’ (laugh) That’s why I wouldn’t try to fix it, I’d just wait until I remember or I’d get someone to help me? But miraculously, when it comes to dancing I never forget the choreography.

Q. If you were told to sing the closing song at Karaoke, what song would you sing?
The chances of it being ‘~senorita’ or ‘~amigo’ is high. For ‘~amigo’ there’s usually a person who’ll do Kamenashi’s lines. If it was a NEWS song then ‘Weeeek’ or ‘NEWS NIPPON’. My advice for singing ‘NEWS NIPPON’ is when you’re singing the line ‘To the north!’ don’t ease up. I often try my best in this part.

Q. You’re sitting alone at a café, and the people at the table next to you are talking about you. And, they’ve misunderstood something (* as in, talking about them and have mentioned something about them that is wrong) What do you do?
It would depend on what that misunderstanding is. If it was really bad then I might correct them but 99% sure that I’d just leave it that way. This sort of experience? It’s happened before! They were saying nice stuff about me though. In my heart I bowed and said ‘Thank you very much’ (laugh)

I watched Yamapi Oshareism few times ago and it'


hilarious XD I think you might found it on Here and some other Yamapi's video. Enjoy! And again, credit goes to uploader! >_<d
