Power of words
As expected, it's not possible to request Kanja event tickets from abroad.
Meh. It's not a big deal so let's move on. ;__;
I've listened to my music player a lot today!
At the moment, I'm listening to A.B.C-Z part from the Shokura Zanmai radio show and it's seriously so much fun!!
Songs are all great, talk parts are hilarious (Tottsu who sent his lyrics to a stranger, A.B.C making fun of young Ryosuke's high voice, Tottsu's first concert experience, Ebi excited in Hong-Kong, Tsuka's awesomeness ♥,...)
This radio show is so amazing that I could easily listen to it all day long xD
Oh also. He sadly doesn't speak a lot but I'm completely addicted to Goseki's voice ♥
I still don't know if I will translate all the other June magazines since July interviews are in my opinion way more funnier and I tend to be very slow when I do something I "don't like" but for now I have finished translating Wink up June interview that I liked a lot, here it is~
Personal message to Gocchi and Tsuka: your singing skills are not bad at all. Go and sing and I'll be a very very happy A.B.C-Z fan. Thank you.
This month, we asked them to talk about about words they have received from fans or from people close to them and also about the power of their singing voice.
What are those precious words?
Kawai Fumito
Words from people close to you
My friends often tell me "You look like Gotô-san of the comedy duo Football hour" (laugh) (If you watch the show, Terumoto Gotô is a Real Scoop Z host) For some reason, I feel like if he knew about that, Gotô-san would say "You can use this information as you want". I'd like to change our positions someday. I'll take part in "Celebrities who have bad reflexes" (A TV show Terumoto Gotô is part of the cast) and Gotô-san would take part in an A.B.C-Z concert...Something like that. (laugh) He won't be able to do any acrobatic figure but he would definitely speak during MCs! Thanks to him, A.B.C-Z's talking power will increase like crazy. Here, I have already used the information! (laugh)
Words from staff members
The other day, we had a meeting in theatre Kurie with our dance teacher. He told me "You know, It's really easy to guess the kind of songs you like."
To know that I'm that easy to understand...I felt a bit embarassed. (laugh)
Words from fans
It has been a while since I've dyed my hair. After that, we performed in Sendai and during the handshake event we held there, some people told me "Your haircut makes you look as cool as Kimura Takuya!" And I just answered back with a smile saying "I know, right?" (laugh) When this kind of situation happen, you have to stay as normal as possible and you must not look surprised. (laugh)
Words from a senpai or a kouhai
The other day, I had a talk with Kamenashi-kun. Of course you have worked hard with all your strength until now but after your debut, you must not think only about "this" stage play, you also need to be prepared to face the next one...he gave me this kind of words and I have learned a lot from them.
Also on our debut day, I got a call from Takizawa-kun and he told me "Starting from now, you will have to show your fans how thankful you are" These words really reached my heart. Because usually, he only tells me things like "You're creepy" (laugh) The other day, out of the blue, he sent me a picture of me when I just joined Johnny's and he wrote "So you can actually join Johnny's with such a face" (laugh) I answered back saying "Don't you think I look super cute in this picture!?" (laugh)
The power of your singing voice
I really like singing but I have noticed that it's very tiring to start singing again after the MC. Because talking makes your throat dry. Eh? So what if we delete the MC part? Eh~ If I had to chose only one, i would immediately choose MC instead of singing. (laugh)
Tsukada Ryoichi
Words from people close to you
My mother comes to see our stage plays and she always says "You were really great. But the most important is to show your fans how grateful you are. It will be bad if you can't do this." Everytime she says that, I really think "That's right". Also when she says we were great, I know she refers to me but also to the other members, to our whole performance, to the stage in itself and to a lot of other things but as expected, being complimented by a parent makes me very happy.
Words from staff members
(I'm not sure that I have understood his answer and I don't want do write something false so sorry for not translating this part...>.>)
Words from fans
I'd like fans to let me know if they have questions or requests. But if it's about something like my haircut or my hair color, people have different tastes so it would be difficult for me to please everyone. On our DVD jacket, my hair is blonde so I think I will stay like that for a while. To those who prefer me with black hair, I'm sorry! (laugh)
Words from a senpai or a kouhai
The words "Being a man is a 24 hours job" Takizawa-kun told me stayed in my heart. Lately, I have understood the meaning of these words. Even when I'm not at work, there are many things I have to think about, as if I had homework. Right now, I have to think about the acrobatics for the upcoming Crea shows and I also want to practice my singing skills. Eh? What if I had a girlfriend? Well~ I have this kind of life so my girlfriend would feel very lonely for sure. For now, I don't feel like I want a girlfriend.
The power of your singing voice
For now, it's only "Tsukada Ryoichi = acrobatics" but maybe I should start thinking about doing something else...Singing for example. Some fans already told me "We would like to hear you sing more often". I think it's still impossible for me today but someday, it will be great if I can have enough self confidence to sing ballads.
Hashimoto Ryosuke
Words from people close to you
Some years ago, my older sister used to talk in a gyaru style a lot and she was very harsh but now that she has become a mother, she has changed.
I mean before, she talked to me saying "Hey you, if you are always lazy like that, another Junior will take your place!" and now she says things like "Ryôsuke, are you properly doing your best?" (laugh)
Also the other day, for the first time in a while, I called my grandma who lives in the countryside. She raised me until my 6th elementary school year...She is a grandma who really took care a lot of me. Once the call was over, I cried. I was already about to cry when she told me with a shaking voice "I love you". I want to go to see her someday!
Words from staff members
I'm ve~ry often told "You are too serious now, it's boring" (laugh) It's because lately, the funny person is Tsuka-chan. But to think that the Hasshi peak is already over is a huge mistake! I still have a lot of interesting parts, wait for the time I'll show it!
Words from fans
Fans often write "From now on, I want you to stay the same" in their letters. I know that my job is to bring a smile on fan's face. That's why I try to have funny talks with people who are waiting for us in front of every concert hall. But if they meet me in the street and suddenly ask me "Make me laugh!" it will probably be very hard for me. (laugh)
Words from a senpai or a kouhai
Some years ago in the middle of a Dream boys show, I laughed when I said my sentence. After the performance, when we were backstage, (Shibutani) Subaru-kun asked "Who's the one who laughed?". Subaru-kun wasn't my friend yet and I just answered "It was me. I'm sorry." Then he scolded me and really yelled at me "Hey you, stop fooling around like that!" What I did was really bad. Once the stage play was over, I went to his dressing room to apologize but Subaru-kun was very cool and told me while doing a weird face "Forget about it already~". I was very surprised and thought "This man is an amazing person!"
The power of your singing voice
I love singing so much that when I was in kintergarden, I asked my mom to take me to the karaoke at least twice a week. Today it's my job so it makes me very happy. But I can't hit some notes, especially low notes so I still need to practice.
Totsuka Shôta
Words from people close to you
When our debut was decided, my father left me a voicemail message. It was a very simple message in which he said basic things like "I'm glad for you, Shôta. Congratulations. Well, do your best." but it almost made me cry. But since Nakayama Yûma was in front of me, I refrained myself from crying. (laugh)
Words from staff members
A while ago, Johnny-san told me "The world of celebrity is 99% made of fun" Actually, I don't think it's true but since Johnny-san is the one who told me that, it reached my heart. When I feel down, I remember those words. I'm the kind of person who tend to think that everything has to be done properly so you can notice that I often let the others take care of the fun parts right? But everytime I manage to think "It's 99% made of fun", I feel as if a weight has been lifted off my shoulders a little.
Words from fans
I have the feeling that most of my fans are very quiet persons. Even when I'm close to them, they just calmly look at me...Even if you stare at me like that, I'm not a national treasure. (laugh) They are very calm so the only way for me to know that they are not fan of another member is my uchiwa they have with them. I'd like them to get more excited with all their strength and to come directly to talk to me.
Words from a senpai or a kouhai
My relationship whith Yabu of Hey! Say! JUMP has nothing to do with senpai/kouhai anymore. If we refers to our debut, he is my senpai for about 5 years. JUMP have grown up a lot lately. I thought it was just a group with many kids but their dancing skills have improved a lot which really surprised me. Talking about kouhai, the other day (Satô) Syori gave me a birthday present. My birthday is in November so...it means he was so nervous that he couldn't give it to me since then. (laugh)
It made me think "What a bold boy". (laugh)
The power of your singing voice
To be honest, I have the feeling that my singing skills are bad. But when I sing band songs or songs that have a strong spirit, it becomes very fun. I'm inspired a lot by the Rolling Stones members and by rock musicians interviews I read. It's true about singing but I also think that the power of words is something very important.
Goseki Koichi
Words from people close to you
After our debut annoucement was made, I received a message from my father. He came to see our stage plays in the past but he is someone who doesn't express his feelings so it was the first time he sent me a "Congratulations" message. I was so embarassed that I forgot to answer. (laugh) But it made me really happy. After our debut, we were given the opportunity to appear in more different medias. A lot of friends called me to say "I saw you!" and this kind of things also made me realize that we had debuted.
Words from staff members
This is a debut related story once again but during the press conference when the annoucement was made, there were staff members who were about to cry and who told us "I'm so happy that I feel like crying". To know that there were so many people supporting us...It made me very happy and I felt the responsability we have to always do our best.
Words from fans
It was the first time we were given the opportunity to go for our own tour and people told us "Thank you for coming! Come back again someday!". It's awesome to know that there were people waiting for us and it made me want to tell them back "I should be the one thanking you for giving us the chance to perform this show". I mean it's because they are people willing to see us that we can go to meet them. Once again, to all the persons thanks to who we were able to take this new step, thank you very much!
Words from a senpai or a kouhai
Hello, I'm the person scaring my kouhai. (laugh) Before ABCZa second show, I went backstage and all the little kids who were there screaming and playing suddenly stopped what they were doing. Did I look mad or something!? (laugh) Well, I don't often play with them so that's maybe why they feel like I'm a scary person. But I'm not scary at all so if you ever meet me during work, don't hesitate and come to play with me. (laugh)
The power of your singing voice
I like singing. But I still feel like I'm too bad at it so I can't sing. Until now, more than singins solo parts, I have more confidence in my dancing solo. I want to sing while playing the piano someday but maybe it's still to early now. (laugh)
