Mukai Koji
I don’t like rain. I don’t like how the classroom becomes gloomy. I go to school on my bike, so my whole body gets wet when it rains. After I get home from school, I’ll go straight to the bathtub. I’ll have my uniform washed too, so I can go to school the next day feeling fresh. After I get out of the bath, it’s my routine to drink cold milk. This isn’t limited to rainy days though (laughs). And I go with my mom in the car to pick up my older brother, who’s at college. I’m recently really friendly with my older brother. On really rainy days, I think I spend time with my family the most. I guess rain isn’t all that bad. And speaking of the rainy season, it’s June. Speaking of June, it’s my birthday. I’ll turn seventeen on June 21st!

I don’t like rainy days. Wherever I go, whatever I do, my tension goes down. But I like rainy nights. It’s cool and quiet, and when I listen to the sound of rain on the veranda, I feel relaxed. On rainy days, if there aren’t any big events, I don’t think I’ll go anywhere. My dad sometimes reads this book by an author that Kiriyama-kun recommended me (Kinoshita Hanta), and I’m currently reading that book. A song I recommend is Kinki Kids’ “Yokubou no Rain”, which I’ve always liked. I also love B.A.D.’s “Amefuri→Rainbow,” so I sing that too. On rainy days, I want girls to bring pink and other bright colored umbrellas. It’s something that only girls can carry, and it’ll brighten up the surroundings too.

I have unruly hair, so I’m really disturbed by rainy days. Everything swells up and becomes curly, and my bangs stick to my forehead and they’re annoying. My neckline is short right now, so it kind of looks like a mushroom (laughs)! Plus, this season’s rain is humid, so I sweat and it becomes even curlier… As for my actions, I’m the indoor type whether it’s sunny or rainy outside. Oh, recently, I got my tablet-type device that I’ve always wanted! I love the feeling of touching the screen! I read books on it in the car. It’s bigger than a smart phone so it’s easier to read. I can play games on it too, and it’s awesome. I’ll get over the rainy season this year with my tablet. I love electronics. I might want to become an electronic idol (laughs).
