takahashi ryuki, neo actor vol.15
Today I translated the interview of Takahashi Ryuki from Neo Actor Vol.15.
For my awesome girls mukimpokun and do_n and letihughes (^0^)/
Wanting to know more about Takahashi Ryuki Q&A
We tried to ask Ryuki who is busy with “Kamen Rider Fourze” a lot of questions.
For fans it might be “that’s typical~”. We gathered his charm in short answers.
And beloved (!?) Hashimoto Taito also takes part in it now and then.
--What is the nickname that you are called by your family or friends?
It’s “Ryu”. Taito also says “Ryu”. Only Akutsu says “Ryuki-nyan”.
--Favourite phrase? (dialogue version)
Ryuki: Taito, what is my favourite phrase?
Taito: It’s “Let’s go~ho!!” I guess? (laugh)
Ryuki: Just as he said.
--Favourite word?
It’s “Smile”.
--What are you collecting?
Glasses or sunglasses. Recently I got one OOO medal in a capsule-toy vending machine and then I couldn’t stop. I did it around ten times and spent 3000 yen on it, I guess. Now there are a lot of core medals at my home.
--How would you express your personality in one word? (dialogue version)
Ryuki: Taito, what is my personality?
Taito: Very・my pace.
Ryuki: That’s true. I’m often with Taito, but it’s so easy. Somehow I’m the one who can decide everything. He’ll follow me.
Taito: Wait, isn’t that view a little harsh?
Ryuki: But aren’t you thinking like “that’s okay”? That’s why it so easy to be together. Recently, Taito is crazy about onsen, he said. We went to an onsen together.
Taito: The other time I also went alone. I like to enter the sauna and talk with the men there.
--What do you wear for sleep?
T-Shirt and shorts.
--What do you parents advice you often?
They’ll say “Update your blog more often!”. My goal is, once a day.
--When did you cry recently?
I don’t cry very often. I watched the anime “RAINBOW” and I didn’t cry but I was very touched. I think it was wonderful. Though it’s about a jailbreak.
--What was a really delicious meal that you had recently?
It’s “king trumpet mushrooms”. I’m quite into king trumpet mushrooms right now. I’m not cooking meals, but I can fry king trumpet mushrooms. When I met with Taito regularly like a couple, and I slept at his home, Taito always woke me up. I said “What?” and he said “I made breakfast!”. (laugh) I thought that I can eat something warm and it was crab omelet on rice which looked really delicious~, but when I ate it, it was all cold. That’s because he has a cat’s tongue. So he always cools the meals and puts tools above it. It looks warm though. But Taito is cooking a lot and everything is really delicious!
--If someone invites you to eat just anything, what would you like to eat?
Sushi. I want to eat salmon everyday.
--What hand made meal can you boast with?
Noting. I can only fry king trumpet mushrooms.
--If you would be a girl for 24 hours, what would you do?
That’s a nice question. First I will go to Shibuya 109, do a lot of shopping and dress up. After that I’ll go to get my nails done cutely, let my hair get styled, and then I’ll have a date with Taito. “You’re finally coming!” he’ll say with a bitter smile. Wouldn’t that be nice? Wearing a mini skirt and having whirling hair~ That’s a dream!
--If you can change into an animal, which animal do you want to be?
A small dog. I want to be loved by everyone in the house. Eating and then going for a walk, I want to be told “there, there”.
--Which of the songs that you have on your ipod or other music player do you listen to the most? (dialogue version)
Ryuki: Maybe Big Bang? At first Ussu- (Usui Masahiro) started with it, but after I listened to it more and more, I started to like them a lot. What about Taito?
Taito: If it’s Big Bang, then maybe Morning Musume. I’m interested in the opposite right now.
Ryuki: Wah, that’s a typical turn of Taito. By the way, when I was 7 years old, I liked Nakazawa Yuko. She was the first girl I liked ever.
--What cosplay would you want to wear?
I’d want to be EVA Unit 01 (Neon Genesis Evangelion). That’s the only one I approve and it’s cool.
--What’s your way to relax while taking a bath?
I’m using bath powder that I sometimes get from fans and just relax. Though in summer I take showers.
--Something that you should throw away but can’t?
I immediately throw away things I don’t need, so there’s nothing. My room is also very clean. I don’t like it when things are not at their decided place and even when the sofa is moved a little bit, I don’t like it. I like cleaning and use small and quick cleaning tools.
--What kind of people do you not like?
There are not really people I don’t like… there really are almost none. If there’s a person who even when we talk is no fun, I won’t talk with that person. But if I had talked with that person, maybe I would have realized that he’s a good person.
--If you could ask got for one thing to come true?
I want to have a life where nothing I don’t like happens. I want to be happy everyday.
--What are you doing after you woke up in the morning?
I’ll put on the music and do preparations.
--If you were a woman, would you go out with yourself?
I don’t think so. I want to date someone with a more handsome/thin face.
--When was your first love and how was it like?
It was in my 6th year of elementary school. When a girl transferred to our school, it was love at first sight. It’s a sour love story I can’t forget (laugh).
--When you go on a date, where are you going?
Mostly I like to wander around some area. Just go and eat something, then watch some movie and wander around. I prefer this kind of normal way.
--Did you experience love at first sight?
Not after my 6th year at elementary school. Because I’m shy, the others from Kamen Rider seem to have thought about me that I’d be frightening or hard to talk to. But recently we’re all getting along and have a good time.
--Are you the person who confesses? Or will you wait for a confession?
It’s impossible to wait.
--How do you want your girlfriend to call you?
I guess, Ryu-kun.
--How long will you wait for your girlfriend if she’s late?
Maybe 10-15 minutes. I’d rush her with saying “Hey, what are you doing? Hurry, hurry~”.
--What was the first CD you bought?
In my 2nd year of elementary school I bought a single of Arashi, I think.
--What was the occasion which made you think that acting is interesting?
At first, I watched the drama “Gokusen” when I was in elementary school and thought something like that is interesting. Next was the audition for “Prince of Tennis”. At first I was nervous though I didn’t know why, but maybe in the 3rd round I started to enjoy it.
--If you formed a combination to make some funny show, who would you form it with?
If it’s such a pattern, maybe Usui. If have such an impression.
--When do you feel happy about doing this kind of a work?
I think that I’m happy, because there are a lot of different people around me.
--If you have to do an imitation of someone in a punishment game… who would you imitate?
Of course Takeda Tetsuya! Because that’s a sure thing to imitate! Recently when I go to karaoke with Taito, I’m practicing HYDE of L’Arc~en~Ciel a lot. Then also Yamazaki Masayoshi or such. If I could show that some day, it would be great!
--Do you have a part of yourself or a pose that you like?
My fingers. Because I often got told that my fingers are beautiful at shootings, I started to think so too, since everyone is saying it, it might be true (laugh). Because of that I recently put my hand in front of my face at shootings.
--Are you getting nervous on stage or television? Please tell us a way not to feel nervous.
On television I’m quite nervous, but on stage not very much.
--Who’s your best friend in the show business world?
Of course that’s Taito. Recently we went to an onsen together, and usually I don’t like talking about myself…especially if it’s heavy talk. Even when they’re friends, we always end up talking about funny or foolish things. If you want to talk with people, you want to have fun, right? But the other time I talked about some private heavy things with Taito for the first time. I realized that I have a great friend (laugh).
--What will you definitely bring to work?
A memo pad, right? A pencil box, toothbrush, eye drops, hand cream and such.
--What are your thoughts about the movie “Messiah” which will be in cinema this autumn?
It was a lot of fun! There were several co-actors in my age, and though we had to work until late night, it was easy to do and I learned a lot. I also got to be friends with (Arai) Atsushi through this job. I had a passionate time.
--What is your typical schedule for one day?
I often have to go for filming early in the morning. I’m doing my best together with the other Kamen Rider people, going home, preparing for the next day and then while watching a comedy DVD or such I’ll sleep. For now I’m thinking that I have to laugh everyday. I like Untouchable’s Yamazaki and others. Yesterday I watched “~suberanai hanashi” and such.
--A message to your readers.
I want you to watch Kamen Rider Fourze which will start on September 4th. This time’s theme is school and space which is a first time experiment, maybe your view of Kamen Rider will change, and I want you to freshly feel that this is what Kamen Rider made it to. Now I’m doing my best at filming everyday. I’m giving my best so please watch it♪
