Wink Up, January 2014 Main Talk
Takaki Yuya
►To you, what’s the importance of an “anniversary”? Would you consider, “We’ve gone out for a week” an anniversary?
I think it’s better to not really pay attention to it. In other words, I don’t want to make a big deal big deal out of it, I prefer a more relaxed tone for it. If I was told, “It’s our 1 week anniversary isn’t it?” then I’d probably end up saying jokingly, “If that’s so, there’s still other people out there” (laughs) Because I think that from now one there will only be long relationships, I don’t want to celebrate something like a 1 week anniversary. I think that I’d like to treasure my wedding anniversaries if I was to wed. As for me, I might be the kind of person that prefers to have meals at home. That’s why on the day of our wedding anniversary, I want to go out and eat to whatever restaurant she wants to go to.
►If you become my girlfriend, I’ll give you this anniversary present!
For myself, in the world of interests…taking now as an example with scuba diving, I think it’s something I want to look forward to on my own. It’d be bad enough to take her with me even though she has no interest in it but I’d also end up having to be careful of whatever risk appears afterwards wouldn’t I? Even so, I want to make a “together” sort of atmosphere by chance. While looking at the ribbon eels that pop their faces out of the sand at the bottom of the sea I want her to get all fired up and say things like, “It was gross but it was cute wasn’t it?”
►How shocked would you be if your girlfriend forgot your anniversary?
I wouldn’t be shocked about it but in the meanwhile, I’ll take it as a joke (laughs) I’ll mess around with her so much that she’ll end up showing me a troubled face (laughs) But because I don’t mean to make it as a mean form of teasing, I’ll properly cover up for it later.
►For 2013, what’s a personal unforgettable day for you?
I wonder if it’s the day I lowered my head for the sake of others. When I went out to eat with all of my friends, a person that was an acquaintance of another person…people that were associated with each other by that much, I don’t know exactly how but the mood turned really sour. The atmosphere in that place turned bad. Just seeing that alone was enough to get me angry (laughs) I did my best to hold back and desperately tried to calm myself down. It was so frustrating that I felt tears on the verge of coming out but then I felt, “Uwa, I’ve really become an adult”.
►Your current state
I don’t have any plans of moving but I find it fun to look at info about real estate. Thoughts like, “A 1LDK sounds good after all” or “If I get a 2LDK I can make one of the rooms a mini theatre” (T/N: LDK stands for Living room, dining room, kitchen) When I’m stuck with these wild thoughts it’s the best fun ever!
Arioka Daiki
►To you, what’s the importance of an “anniversary”? Would you consider, “We’ve gone out for a week” an anniversary?
I might end up treasuring them. I think I’m the type that would make his card pin number his anniversary date (laughs) (T/N: My heart…*dies*) 1 week anniversary is too short to be celebrated but 1 month would definitely work.
►If you become my girlfriend, I’ll give you this anniversary present!
If it was for our 1 year anniversary then I’d do the same date plans that I did for her on our first date! It’d take us back to the birth of our relationship and it would bring back the memories that spanned during one year wouldn’t it? I also want to properly exchange gifts with her. If it’s something I’d pick for her, then I’d pick a gift that would surely be a success, an accessory. If I put more thought into it, then I’d give her a compilation of photos of us throughout our 1st year. I want to do something thoughtful like that but…I’m not really the kind of person that takes photos (laughs) Yuto would probably give that kind of present. Although, there will be something to notice about those photos. When I’m making funny faces or doing weird things, Inoo-chan will be in the back without fail, seeing everything…That kind of jinx (laughs) it’s not a reflection on the photo or the quality. Why is it that Inoo-chan’s serious face will always appear in there (laughs)
►How shocked would you be if your girlfriend forgot your anniversary?
Birthdays can be nerve wracking days right? “Could it be a surprise? I wonder if she’ll come out with it midway through it?” I’d be making myself nervous (laughs) Even if I bug for any hints through text, I think I’ll end up doing it over and over again (laughs)
►For 2013, what’s a personal unforgettable day for you?
The next day after returning from a trip to Yakushima that I took by myself, this surprising power brewed up in me. Although I don’t understand if it was because I didn’t talk to anyone about the spiritual power in Yakushima or if I just simply wanted to talk about it (laughs) Even my family would point out, “You speak as if you’re holding something back” (laughs) It’s scary, that Yakushima power!
►Your current state
I got a perm again for the “Kindaichi” drama. I’ve recently started to understand the degree of its power (laughs) The perm last time was a bit too strong last time so I tried holding back for this one a bit. Like, keeping the heat at low when I dry my hair with a blow dryer, I got the hang of perms by the 2nd one. This time, even I’m pleased with it.
Inoo Kei
►To you, what’s the importance of an “anniversary”? Would you consider, “We’ve gone out for a week” an anniversary?
I’m pretty much the type that wants to treasure it. But even for me, something like a 1 week anniversary thing is harsh (laughs) For me, I properly congratulate anniversaries. If it’s a birthday, I’d make my mom’s favorite food for her and go out with everyone to buy a present. During the New Year, my family and I all go to my grandpa’s house, eat osechi ryouri (T/N: Special food made only during the New Year), on May 5th I take an iris bath and even on the first day of spring where an egg can stand on its own, I try really hard to make it stand.
►If you become my girlfriend, I’ll give you this anniversary present!
I’m more of the type that prefers to surprise his partner rather than asking her what she wants. On top of that, memories might be more meaningful to me than items. When it comes to actually making it happen, I want to make it possible. For example, if I asked about her favorite food and then took her to a shop that specialized on that dish…wouldn’t that be cool?
►How shocked would you be if your girlfriend forgot your anniversary?
I think I wouldn’t particularly mind. I’ll just probably think, “She definitely forgot about it didn’t she”. I don’t think it’s something to be punished for after all.
►For 2013, what’s a personal unforgettable day for you?
In many meanings, I felt a sense of liberation during the closing festivities of “Johnny’s World”. My turn in deadline for my graduation thesis was the next day. During my final 1-2 months in college, I was going back and forth between campus and the theater. On top of all that, during the last half of the stage performances; it was time for my thesis’s final draft. I would take a shower at the theater and go right back to campus where I’d stay overnight to work on it. It was a reallyyyyyyyy hard time for me. During the final days of the theatre performances, in order to add in some small details to my paper, I ended up going back to campus and staying overnight to finish it. Any “extra time” is valuable isn’t it. Now that I’ve graduated, I’ve grown to carefully and slowly see and think about things.
►Your current state
The other day, there were two individuals performing on the streets, but there was not a single person around them. Somehow it felt like it was their challenge to get others excited and into their performance and they got more fired up. After that, people started crowding around them. There were tons of people by the time they finished. At the end, they were selling autographed cd’s and I told them, “My name is Michael so can you just write ‘To Michael’ please” so I ended up buying a cd. Although they were complete strangers to me, I felt an extreme sense of accomplishment (laughs)
