[Interview] Countdown 2009-2010 pamphlet /Tadayoshi (eng)
For bubbalooee9 & you who don't understand french and are interested! Please forgive my bad english and correct me if necessary^^
(Je viens de penser, pour si les francophones lisent ça, que j'ai traduit dans la version francaise "mettre le pied dans la nouvelle année" faute d'autre idée, mais "enfourcher" serait plus fidèle a ce qu'il a voulu dire finalement.)
Q. How was 2009, if you have to sum it up?
A. It really was the year of dramas. It was full of filming. But I think I still have a long way to go as an actor.
Q. Through this year, which part of Okura Tadayoshi did you boost?
A. I began to love soba! (laugh) Until now I was firmly loyal to udon, but recently, my interest in soba increase considerably. I heard that eating low calorie meals for a diet should cause hair problems. So I began to be very careful. Nowadays, to be on a diet doesn't mean to starve oneself, insn't it?
Well, if I didn't try almost always doing diets, it would be dangerous, that's probably my constitution (laugh)
Q. please tell us three pieces of news from Kanjani∞ in 2009!
A. After a year, we released the single Kyu☆Jo☆Show!, we released three singles consecutivly in three days, then there was the countdown. So much things hapened during this end of year! And this year was the first concerning the events. Just this had already an impact I think. The singles... I've always be convinced that we would do them. But, we've also had a " Now I could better myself in solo" kind of atmosphere. Personaly, to be honest, I thought even more about the group.
Q. please give to the audience some advices to enjoy the concert at this time.
A. Ah, Well... Whatever you prepare, it will be ok. As always, as long as you come! Now it's a bit late, I can see the stage just before my eyes. While I'm getting nervous/excited, you're maybe reading this, who know. We'll do our best to excite everybody! Enjoy yourself frankly! That's the most important I think, ne?
Q. What would be the Okura family's habit for the new year's day?
A. When the obaa-chan of the district come home, I think. They come, and we use to eat nabe all together. I've never eat new year's meal somewhere else than at home. Actually, to eat that nabe really give me the feeling that the new year is beginning!
Ah! For the very last night of the year, I've never called to go somewhere with friends. That's boring, isn't it? Even though, besides, I usually go to bed late.
Q. Who would you want to appear in your first dream in 2010?
A. Hmm, who could it be? Of course Johnny-san !? He gives a good feeling, don't you think? (Laugh)
Q. Please say a love message for all the fans for 2009 > 2010 ♥
A. My love message is an invitation to our live, the show will be worthwhile I think. The last christmas live was a success, I wonder if we'll achieve the same or not with the countdown live this time.
The special atmosphere we feel at the end of the year almost don't change. Actually, our setlist too probably has like a wintry feeling, but after all, it means that we're straddling the new year, isn't it? And that we'll receive money.
Talking about it, everyone who can't come to our live, I'm sorry. But also for those who can't come in 2010 either, if you particulary have the will to come, somehow, I think you should get invited. Please take them along!
