The other day, I went bowling. I kept throwing the ball into the gutter in elementary school, and I barely went after becoming a middle school student, so I didn’t think I would do so well. But when I played two months earlier, my score was 130. I thought, “Oh, I did pretty well,” and since then, I’ve been into bowling (laughs). I’ve been throwing the ball with all my strength before, but I learned that my form is important, so I’ve been improving, and it’s becoming more fun. I’m aiming for a score of 200!
I got into high school! I’ve been telling fans of the same age, “Let’s work hard together!” for test. Actually, I was debating whether I should declare my acceptance or not, because the testing season hasn’t officially ended yet. Some people might have gained energy by working hard along with me, right? But I’m thinking of telling everyone, “I’m going to be the one to cheer you guys up from now on!” To the people who still have tests, please work hard and do your best!!

Recently, the weather’s getting colder, so I’ve been playing with my dog (Italian greyhound, “Luke”) and warming up that way. I often run with him. But I don’t take him out on walks. I don’t want to go outside, because it’s cold. Running around is only for indoors. It’s only November (at the time of the interview), so what am I going to do when it’s officially winter? But it’s not like I really hate the cold. Sometimes, I want to become cold, so I go out on the veranda at night sometimes. I read duet there. Basically, I guess I’m selfish. I realized it right now as I was talking (laughs)!
I haven’t been shopping recently. It’s not like I’m really busy. I end up staying at home and rolling around, and not going outside. On the other hand, whenever I’m busy, I effectively go out because I think, “I only have time now!” Ah, but I want a new pair of jeans and a jacket. I also want accessories and other small details too. When I think about it, I have a lot of things that I want. Okay, I’ll go shopping soon!

I have entrance exams for high school, so I officially have to study full power! I’m not very good with memorizing things like history. It doesn’t stay in my head if I just look at it and memorize, so I ask my family to ask me problems from the work book, so that I can memorize in a quiz format. But I’m not confident about my memory, so I’m afraid that I’m going to forget everything that I memorize… I keep forgetting things like assignments for school, too. Even if I put things in my backpack, I sometimes even forget the fact that I put it in (laughs).
On November 7th, I turned fifteen. On the day of, I went to school and eye contacted my classmate, who also has the same birthday as me, and I had rehearsal after school… basically, it was just a normal day for me (laughs). Even when I went home, there wasn’t even a cake… since it was really late at night. But when I went into my room, new clothes were hanging in my closet, a present from my mother. At the end of the day, there was one good thing!
Hanzawa Akatsuki
I want to go shopping to buy new clothes. I’m going to invite my friends and go shopping together. And when my friend tells me, “This looks good on you,” then I end up feeling good about it and buying it. So when I go home and wear it again, I sometimes regret my purchase because it looks different (laughs). I guess I’m easily influenced by others. But I won’t go shopping alone. I can’t eat ramen or go to the movies alone either. It’s not fun! But, I’m kind of interested in going to a karaoke place alone! If I become lonely, I think I’ll call over my friends (laughs).
There’s a cell phone game application that I’m into right now, but the game was apparently already popular from over a year ago. People told me that I was slow… Apparently, I’m often separated from the flow of the world, not just with games. If I say that I’m a man who doesn’t go with the flow… will that sound better (laughs)?
