I should try not to ever say ‘I’m busy’!
No matter how busy I am, I make sure never to say the word “busy”. I’m usually thinking that it’s better for me to actually get more busy and I actually prefer having to be busy with work. I’m the type of person that’s fine not having to sleep all that much. But as expected, if I had to go for 1 month on only an average of 3 hours of sleep I’d be unsteady though (laugh) Even during breaks at work and when in transportation for work, I don’t sleep all that much. Sometimes when I’m dozing off and am woken up by one of the staff it makes me think ‘Oh no, I feel asleep!’. For me, sleeping = turning off my switch so during work I don’t want to show myself at that point of 0, definitely.
I should eat bread in the mornings!
As long as I can remember, breakfast at home has been bread. Apparently a long time ago we’d eat rice and miso soup but then apparently one day my dad just suddenly said “From now on we’ll eat western food!” (laugh) That’s why as a kid when I’d sometimes go to my grandmas place and we’d “The Japanese breakfast” of rice and miso soup and grilled fish and I could feel that it completely tasted great~ Ah, but when I go to stay at a hotel I love eating gutsy type food at the buffets like bread and soup and scrambled eggs. Probably if it’s a large quantity it’s ok (laugh)
I should send simultaneous texts!
I have 6 friends in my home town and when I text those guys I send them all simultaneously. At work when I don’t check my cell phone for a long time and then go and check it and then it’ll say “24 unread mails”. It makes me think “Uwa, what happened? An emergency!?” and I read them in a panic and then it just turns out to be 2 friends out of the 6 texting each other endlessly about trivial things, that often happens. . .
I should match checked patterns with checked patterns!
Matching a patterned top with a patterned bottom, like polka dots and stripes, is hard right? But recently I’ve noticed that matching checked patterns with checked patterns is really good. When we went on “HEY HEY HEY!” as Tegomasu I wore a completely checked pattern outfit (actually, my socks were also checked pattern) and I got completely made fun of by Downtown-san though (laugh)
I should do everything at the last minute!
For work, I wake up 2 hours before hand. But I just laze around for the first hour and then in the last 30 minutes I panic and get ready. For summer holiday homework too, I would do only a bit at the start and then do all the rest in the last 2 days. Basically, I’m like that with everything. When I go eat with my friends, it’s like I’ll eat if it’s Shime nozosui (laugh) (*Japanese soup porridge dish eaten at the end of a meal)

Tegoshi
I should take my vitamins before I sleep!
At night, before I get into my futon I always make sure to take my vitamins and then sleep. I started taking them because my mum recommended them so that I won’t lack nutrition. It’s not like I’ll see the results after I open my eyes but I’ll keep taking them as a custom from now on.
I shouldn’t say something’s impossible before I do it!
I definitely don’t want to say the word “I can’t do it” before I do something! If it’s too the point where you just don’t do it and think it’s impossible, then it’s better to just do it and fail. That failure can lead you to your next challenge but you can’t get anything from not doing something. At concerts, dancing while singing is quite hard. When I’m remembering choreography, the first thing I do is try to dance full on. Then, I go on like that and if it’s no good then I try to get more physical ability or to arrange the dance. I don’t lower the hurdle from the start.
I should eat fish rather than meat!
Lately, I’ve been more into fish than meat. Because there’s lots of nutritional value with fish and it’s good for your body. Meat has the image of having a lot of fat in it right? I’ve always liked meat and I was the type to go and eat Yakiniku as a treat for myself. But now, my main side dish is fish. Thanks to that, the condition of my body is really good.
I should make sure not to believe rumours!
Bad mouthing someone is, of course, not good but I can’t like people that tend to believe those kind of rumours right away. Even if there’s a bad rumour going around, you haven’t made sure of it yourself so you can’t know if it’s true or not! What can you know about that person just by hearing what others say about them? Everyone, believe the things that you see with your own eyes. Ok!!
I should respect manners!
I was made to have proper manners since I was a kid so I make sure to abide by them. Things like not having your elbow on the table while eating or not to eat while making loud noises. If there are people around me that don’t abide by them then I get interested. If a close friend was like that then I caution them about it right away. Because seeing someone do that isn’t good and he’d get harmed by not having those manners. Manners are important!
I should turn off my switch in my private time!
I never think that I want to be the same Tegoshi that’s in NEWS and Tegomasu during my private time. When I have work I have my work face on but when I’m off I don’t want to be an entertainer I just want to be 1 guy so I don’t even do my hair and I don’t pay any attention to my clothes~ I want to have no defences and have my switch off.

Yamapi
I should make sure not to be bound by rules!
I don’t make rules for myself. Saying that, I guess that’s a rule though. That’s all!!. . .I can’t just end it like that huh (laugh) But, even if I think about it, there’s nothing in my lifestyle that’s actually decided on. I don’t make any plans on my days off either. I’ll think about them after I’ve woken up. I eat the things that I want to eat at that moment and I go to the places that I want to go to at that moment and If I get invited out by friends I go with that. But when I feel like going back home I just say “See you” and go back home and if my friends seem like they’re going to go home I don’t try to hold them back. Living honestly with your feelings and what you want is the most important rule
I should live honestly without lying!
There are rule that I was told by my parents since I was a kid. Things like “You have to be home before the timer rings at 5pm”. I properly abided by them in elementary school. I don’t remember getting home late and having them be angry at me. But there have been times where I’ve lied and have gotten angry at. I’d do things like skip lessons but lie and say that I went. Penmanship, karate, abacus, I did a lot of lessons. I don’t really remember going to too many of those lessons though (bitter smile) But even now, I properly abide by the rule of not telling lies. Because I’m straightforward. Even when it comes to strangers, even when it comes to myself, I want to be straight forward. I’ll say the things that I think and will do a lot of the things that I want to do. I don’t want to lie to myself.
Unspoken rules should be ideal!
Amongst my close friends, we don’t say them, but we have unspoken rules. Since we were in elementary school the rule of “Even if we like the same person we won’t have a falling out!”. That sort of relationship is probably ideal. If all people can be connected with those unspoken rules, the world could probably be peaceful.
On my holidays I should fly overseas!
This is my wish (laugh) Because since summer of last year I’ve continued with 2 dramas and a movie so I want to try just standing still for a bit. Going to a town that I’ve never been to if fine too and going surfing at the beach, which I love, if fine too. Before I go, If I get a break I’ll decide. Because I have a personality that doesn’t want to be bounded (laugh)

Ryo
My curtains should be shades!
Every room in my house has shade curtains. I can’t sleep unless it’s completely dark and that of course applies to my bedroom and In the living room where I watch movies on a projector, if it’s not dark I can’t project them. The screen is about 200 inches. Playing actions games on that is really intense!
I should wake up 30 minutes before having to go out!
When I have work, I’m waken up by a phone call from my manager 30 minutes before I leave. I actually wake up 5 minutes before though (laugh) But when I’m going out to play I can wake up in 1 go! When I go for a day trip to go snowboarding I wake up at 4am but I’m completely fine. When I go on a trip too, I want to stay at the place for as long as possible so I’ll always definitely go on the first morning plane. Recently when I went to Okinawa I did that, The next day I woke up at 7am, ate breakfast, then went to the beach to wakeboard and then slept at 10pm. A really healthy life style (laugh)
I should drink at family ocassions!
For Nishikido-family family occasions, either way, we drink alcohol. But I’ve never seen any of the adults get drunk. They’re really strong so no matter how much they drink nothing changes. At my younger sisters wedding ceremony, Me, the adults and my mum were drinking from morning and in the afternoon me and my mum were kind of drunk and when I saw my sister as the bride I started crying but the adults were the only one’s who were completely normal.
We shouldn’t make rules up amongst friends!
There are no rules between me and my friends. If we just treat each other like people then nothing bad will happen so even though we behave freely we never fight. If it’s the guys that I’m close to, even if I randomly threw water at them they wouldn’t get angry. I think they’d just laugh while saying “What’re you doing~” (laugh)
I should get sunburnt in summer!
Every year, I definitely get sunburnt in summer! Yesterday I had work at a studio but the weather was good so I took a chair outside and sat there the whole time. Getting sunburn in summer is more healthy. Right now it’s only the start of summer but I’m already completely dark (laugh) For women, if they’re white or darker, either is fine. But a person who I can play around with outside when it’s summer would be good.
It should be ‘Monday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Friday’!
I hate Saturday and Sunday. On Saturday & Sunday, no matter where I go it’s crowded. So I want all days of the week to be weekdays and for there to be no holidays. I hate Golden Week too. For GW this year I didn’t go anywhere but work. Depending on the place, apparently they’ve got a dispersion plan but I completely support that.

Shige
I should spend 20 minutes in a 40degrees bath!
For me, I properly have bath rules and after I wash my head and body, I open the door, turn the light off, turn the TV in the bathroom on and spend 20 minutes in a 40degrees bath. From a long time ago I’ve been the type to use the bath tub but on a certain day when I was watching TV in the bath as always on “sekai ichi uketai jugyou” they said that “Being in a 40degree bath for 20 minutes is good for your body”. But I can’t say that I’ve only been measuring time since that day though. . .
When I get out of the bath I should clean the mirror and taps!
There are ‘scales’ (<- Dirt depending on the quicklime and washing materials in the water) on the mirror and taps after a bath right? I’ve been trying every way of getting rid of it possible, like using vinegar. But when it comes to results, the one with the best results is to clean them with a towel after getting out of the bath! It’s troublesome but it’s completely different just by doing that everyday.
I should try out various cleaning materials and seasonings!
It might just be that I don’t ever get something that makes me think ‘This again!’ but I’m the type to change washing products and hand soaps most of the time. Is I were to say more, I always enjoy trying out different seasonings. I probably finish using all of them but I just don’t know the right timing to us tamarijoyu (*a sauce). Even though it’s syrupy, recently when I thought of using it for the first time in a while, I couldn’t open the lid (laugh)
The after party should be at my house!
I go out with friends and when it turns into “So what do we do now?”, there’s often a pattern of me saying “Why don’t we go to my place?”. Amongst them there’s even some guys that miss the last train and wait for me to say those words (laugh) I like entertaining people rather than being entertained by them so if we’re going to be staying at someone’s place it’s better to just come to my place. Yesterday too, a few people came over to my place after my friend’s wedding ceremony and I prepared food for the people that were hungry. Also, because I invite people over periodically, I keep my room clean. All my friends are really shameless and they do things like open my closet and just normally say ‘Give me this clothes’. But at that time being told “It’s pretty clean~” it’s a pretty good feeling so I keep inviting them over (laugh)
Supermarkets should have vegetables portioned for 1 person!
The sizes of vegetables sold at supermarkets aren’t made for people living alone! They have things like ½ Daikon but I’m saying that I wan ¼! I’d even want them to sell garlic by breaking them apart into pieces. I’m really dissatisfied~ That’s why people who live a lone don’t cook for themselves. There are probably a lot of people that think the same way I do!

Koyama
I should clean right after coming home!
If I don’t clean right when I come home then I don’t go into home-mode. First I put back my wallet, accessories and lip cream, then laundry then giving Nyanta his food and cleaning the toilet then mop the floors then the cleaning machine, I do things in that order. I’ve always really liked cleaning! Making your home look clean feels really good. I even sometimes feel like cleaning other people’s houses by I hold back (laugh)
I should eat a whole lot before sleeping!
Before I would properly go to the gym but then if I don’t go for a while I lose about 5kg. So lately I’ve started going to the gym again. My goal is to gain 5kg before summer. I’ve already got 2kg so I just need 3kg more. What I’m doing to get to my goal weight is after eating past my max for dinner, I eat a whole lot before sleeping. I feel quite full after that but I squeeze in things like cheese, banana, protein, ham, those things. I have the type of body that’s hard to get fat with so eating is important!
I should reply to texts from my best friend from my heart!
I have a best friend from university and he really diligently sends me texts. But it’s been a few years where I haven’t been replying to that guy. No, I read all of his texts. But after I read them inside my head I think ‘Ok, got it~’. Kind of like I’m replying to it in my heart (laugh) But my friend always gets impatient and ends up calling me. Then there’s a pattern where I just say “What?” and he says “What do you mean ‘what’~?” (laugh)
In the mornings I should close my screen and sleep a second time!
My ability to wake up is really bad but lately I’ve been setting my alarm 1 hour then I wake up and close the screen on the window and then go back to sleep again. Spending that hour sleeping while being bathed in the sunlight makes me feel really happy~ At first when I wake up my head isn’t clear but from now on I’ll have 1 chance of recovery in my sleep. Thanks to that, I feel really clear when I wake up!
Every time I have a stage play I buy a new jersey!
From a long time ago, I decided that every time I’m going to be in a stage play I’ll buy a new jersey. I have all of the generations of jersey’s at home in a draw for personal use. Sometimes I look at them and remember about the play. For the 2 months of practise and the shows, all the blood and sweat that I put into the production was in that jersey. From now on, I’m intending to keep with that rule.

I like what Tegoshi said about the believing rumours, which is really true (But even though I don’t tend to actually BELIEVE the rumours I hear about people, I still can’t help but to associate those people with the rumours even though I don’t believe them?) And Shige complaining about vegetables is so. . Shige-like XD
