[ A teen park date where we'd talk until the day ends]
When I was in elementary school, I often had dates at the park. I say they were dates but it was just me stopping by the park on the way home from school to talk to the girl I like. A lot of friends from the same school would be there as well but I'd just be talking to that same girl the whole time. I'm really easy to read and everyone around me could easily tell when I liked a girl. I don't remember at all what we talked about but either way, we were just talking the whole time. At the time we didn't have cell phones or emails so all we had was the time we had to meet up. I had no idea if that girl liked me as well but in elementary school people who were fast at running were popular right? In elementary school I was the one with the best reflexes, so I was pretty popular. But in middle school, the funny people start being popular. was also aiming to be "a person who's fast and funny" but it didn't work out and in the end I was just the guy who could run fast (laugh)
[When something occurs to her, taking instant action! That sort of travel date in the 20's]
The type of girl I like, hasn't ever changed. Someone who's kind, clean, can take others into consideration, speaks politely and how should I put it.....someone who's inside of their body is clean. Someone who seems like they eat a whole lot of vegetables (laugh) On the other hand, what has most changed from when I was in my teens is that my range of activities has gotten wider. If I was to go on a date right now, I'd want to boldly try and go on a trip. I'd take my girlfriend anywhere she said she wanted to go. It's fine if it's somewhere nearby like a hot spring and it's fine even if it's going to Hokkaido just to eat sushi. If she told me that anywhere is fine, I'd take her to Sweden, which I love. Rather than just then going all out sight seeing, I'd want to just wander around the streets and then stopping by a clothing store I like and coordinating my girlfriends clothes for her. Of course, I still like park dates too. I'd want my girlfriend to make and bring a bento lunch box. It would amazing if she had onigiri, tamagoyaki, octopus shaped sausages* and asparagus wrapped in bacon~
[A conquering the world heritages, hand holding date in the 60's]
What's ideal would be being a married couple that can hold hands no matter what age we are. I want the two of us to be able to do the park date from my teens and to really do the traveling date as well. I have an interest in world heritage sites so before I reach 60, I want to conquer all of the famous places, like Sagrada Familia and the Great Wall of China!

Tegoshi
[An innocent ten amusement park date]
In my teens, I didn't have the option to go on a drive or going to a bar with nice night scenery and drinking wine. So that's why I thought that even though we didn't have a car or alcohol, a date where we could have a lot of fun was good. Which means an amusement park date! We'd go to the amusement park first thing in the morning and go on a lot of rides and eat and just have fun. And when it get's dark, it would be embarrassing but I'd pluck up the courage and hold hands with her. I'm the type to not say anything and just grab hold of her hand. Or possibly, when I say "Let's ride that next" I'd naturally reach out for her hand. At the time, if I had a girlfriend I thought that I'd want to be with her everyday and I really yearned to get married.
[A lovey dovey snowboard date in the 20's]
My basis of wanting to have fun with the girl I like hasn't changed from my teens. But my options have increased. If I was to go on a date right now, I want to go snowboarding. We'd go with friends that are couples and at first we'd all be boarding together and then half way through we'd split up into our couples. While hitting each other snow, we'd be all "Hey, stop it~", "You stop it!" and then falling into the snow while hugging....It seems so fun! I'm completely fine with being all lovey dovey infront of people. Recently when I went to Europe for work, couples were just kissing in the middle of the street. I was soooo jealous of that. If I were to choose one, I think I'm more of the type to do that (laugh) Like that, we'd enjoy our date together but if we were together everyday then it seems like I'd end up seeing parts of my girlfriend that I'll end up disliking so meeting at a pace of once a week is best. In my teens I was yearning to get married but right now my desire to get married is zero. I still want to keep being an idol and doing soccer so I'll leave that for more into the future.
[An always energetic 70's sports date]
I wouldn't just want to settle down just because I've gotten older. Even when we're both old, we'd still be holding hands and hugging. I definitely wouldn't say "We're not at an age where we shouldn't be doing that". Weather it's table tennis, or tennis or bowling, I'd want us to find a common hobby and do it together~

Koyama
[A refreshing teen school date]
When I was in middle school, just calling the girl I liked to come behind gym after school and just talking to her was fun. There were times where we talked for the whole 3 hours until the school gates closed. I would drop that girl off at her house after school but about 20m away from her house I plucked up the courage and asked "Can I hold your hand?". I feel like I held her hand while my heart was beating really fast and just with that, it was a big happening (laugh) But we got to her place right away and said bye. It's such a refreshing date. I think that at the time I didn't even really understand what the meaning of dating actually was. If I had a girlfriend right now, I think I'd want us to have a relationship where we support each other but at the time it was just the two of us coming together because I liked her.
[A frank night dinner in the 20's]
I like frank and casual dates. Thats why if I was to go on a date right now, I'd just normally invite her out to eat after work. At first, something like Teppanyaki or nabe or shabu shabu would be good. If we both have some things to do while eating then it won't be so formal right. So that she'll be able to get to know me, I'd take to a restaurant that I always go to and if there's a place that she wants to go to then we'll make our next date there. Doing that we can lessen the distance between us while eating right? The date would be frank but I'd properly do all the escorting that I have to do. If I go pick her up by car I'd open the passengers side door for her and I'd put her seat belt on for her and I'd adjust the seat for her, I'd be completely devoted. I'm not a butler but I feel like I'd want to coordinate everything for the girl I like and I think like myself best when I' doing my best for something.
[A sunday family loving date in the 40's]
My parents were always both busy with work so I always yearned for those normal Sundays spent at home as a family. When I'm in my 40's I'd want to spend my days off with my wife and kids. Doing things like going out to a home centre together or going somewhere a bit far. When we go out, I'd hold hands with my wife even in front of the kids.If my kids said something like "My mama and papa are really close", I'd feel kind of happy~

Shige
[A teen bowling date, wanting to overstretch myself but not being able to]
For a teen date, it would have to be just the cliche meeting in front of the Hachiko statue, then go bowling then take purikura, that sort of thing. Lunch would be omurice! I wouldn't have known many stores so I would want to try and avoid getting really annoyed trying to figure out if we should go for ramen or curry. In your teens you end up making lots of mistakes with clothes too~ Like putting on a lot of jangling accessories. Because those are the years where you want to overstretch yourself. You'd definitely be very conscious of wanting to get that girl to like you so you'd do your best. If it was right now, and I thought that the girl would dislike me, then I'd just think that I wouldn't match with her though.
[A somewhat different 20's driving date]
If I was to go on a date right now, first I'd go and pick her up in my car right. When we arrive at our destination, we can just wander around shopping. And if we get tired it can expand into us stopping by a cafe or going to watch a movie....wow, it's really ordinary (laugh) But I think that it really would be like that. I'd also want to drink alcohol at night so we'd go home to drop the car off there and then go out to eat by taxi. On the way home from the date, I can't just ask her to be a replacement driver for me can I. That, or if we were going out by car, we'd go to a service area at a motorway. I'd say "Apparently Ebina** got really nice". To be able to do that, going on the freeway seems pretty extravagant right?
[A keigo*** date as the dominant husband in the 60's]
As we get older, I want us to be able to enjoy one thing together, like going to ceramics classes. I'd go along with what my partner wants to do too. I wonder what....like Yoga. It wouldn't suit me~ (laugh) Well, if it's impossible then having a relationship where I could normally say something like "I'm going to go shopping until you finish" would be nice. A natural relationship where we can respect each other is ideal. Also, I want us to have a pet as a married couple! I'd have something like a squirrel monkey and my wife can have a dog. Then the monkey and the dog can get along and people can say "Even though it's like a cat & dog relationship~****" When we're in our 60's, it would be nice if my wife was the type of person that had a sense of normally wearing a kimono. Also, I want to be spoken to with keigo. Her way of calling me would be "Shigeaki-san". Like that, it makes it seem like we still have a bit of nervousness towards each other right. Because I'd probably be the dominant husband. Follow along with me about 3 steps behind!

NOTES:
*A lot of the time in bento's the sausages are cut to look like an octopus, like this this
** Ebina is a place in Kanagawa which apparently has some famous/popular service area place/s?
*** Keigo is like speaking respectfully with honorifics and such
**** It makes no sense in english lol but You know how in english a "cat & dog relationship" would be like "It wasn't meant to work out" type thing, the phrase in Japanese that Shige used, which means the same thing, is "Dog & monkey relationship"
Massu being in love sounds so adorable, like just talking to the girl he likes nonstop and being really easy to read XD
Shige makes it seem like it would be tough being his wife~ XDDD Oh Shige~
