-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)
