Duet 11/11 - Takaki Yuya
I love this photoshoot and I thought the article was interesting, so I went ahead and translated it!
"This feeling, I can't put it in words..."
A normal "I LOVE YOU" (in a bored way) would've been okay too, but it's impossible to express my feelings in just a few words.
Q. What is your image of a prince?
When it comes to princes, there's only one in my mind. (Doumoto) Kouichi is the only one. When I was young, I was a kid that played outside, so I barely watched TV inside my house nor did I read books. That's why I didn't know that much fairytales, and the first person who I thought seemed like a prince was the Kouichi-kun I saw in Kinki Kids' concert. He suited the white costume so well and the fans who were there called Kouichi-kun a prince, so I think that image has been inputted in my system.
Q. What do you think are the needed requirements for a prince?
I don't know. It's a genre not inside of me. Isn't a legitimate prince commonly a cool-looking gentleman? I like bad princes, though. Because, it's not interesting to have just good princes (laughs).
Q. Based on those requirements, how much percent of a prince are you?
Zero. 0%! I think it's quite different from me and seriously, my personality would be impossible for a prince. If I had prince class authority, I'd probably keep on using it. That kind of prince is no good, right? (laughs)
What kind of prince are you?
A self-centered prince (laughs). My friends often tell me I'm self-centered and I think so myself. Like even though I have times when I arrive late for meet-ups, I don't like being kept waiting (laughs). Also, even if everyone says, "let's go here", I'd flatly say I don't want to. But it's probably because, among my friends, there's no one who'd insist on going to a place when we ask "Where do you want to eat?". They company even a self-centered person like me well. And that's in such a good balance. Usually we can't decide on a restaurant and when it becomes all, "eh~ where should we go", I'd decide on a place and finally everything gets organized (laughs).
Among the group members, who is the most suitable for a prince?
Wouldn't it be Yamada? He has a prince-like aura and the way he shows himself is cool.
Prince Takaki, how did you spend everyday recently?
At nights, I went to the beach with my friends. We found a nice spot. There's a sandy beach and you can see the moment airplanes take off. There's this bridge nearby, and at first it was dark but all of a sudden lights went on and it surprised me, but it was like beautiful shooting stars.

I don't care if he's not a prince, he's perfect as the beach loving, friend loving, and self-centered person he is ♥ xD

Next up is Yamada's! It might be my last for a while.
