KAZUNARI NINOMIYA
"the things i like, are things that don't have an end to it. for example, acting. there isn't an end or a feeling like "i've reached my goal", never."
I Like ATTAINMENT
To be on a movie made by the famous Clint Eastwood, Ninomiya Kazunari went to the US for 2months and came back.
We expected a great change, but the guy infront of us right now is the same "nino", sarcastic as ever.
And right next to him is a portable video game player....even the great hollywood cannot change ninomiya's style.
Of course being so clever, ninomiya must have experienced and learned new things.....but who cares, its his experience and his memories.
he will talk about it in the future, when he feels like it. This "nino-ism" was shown throughout the interview, such as comments like
"im doing this job just because i want to be popular from girls" (lol)
"I like the feeling of attainment and reaching the goal" - as he says, to fufill that desire, he says he has to "go to the next stage....and climb every wall i can"......i wonder what kind of path he is going to take in the future.
The attainment that fufills me, after i reach a goal. That's what im always looking for, and what i desire
what do i like ? let me see.....i guess i like the feeling when im finished doing something. that feeling is what i desire. It depends on that person, but for me, when i reach my goal, it feels great. For my, my goals directly connect to my job, and im also responsible to reach the goal because its my job, but thats okay. i can just be responsible for it. im not a teenager/underaged anymore, so of course i have to take responsibility of my own job. so it doesn't matter whether or not my personal goals and my job goals overlap. comments like "im going to work hard because im the main cast" isn't acceptable after you turn 20. if an adult says "im going to work hard on my job..." the normal reaction is "of course!". This year i was able to go to the states.....but the audition for that movie overlapped the first day of shooting for the drama i was filming at the sametime. The first day of shooting is probably the most important day of the whole shooting process....because it was the first day, the directors told me they wanted to film a lot that day, and i would do so myself if i was a director.....but i couldn't because i had to go to the audition. even how good the actor, its really important to see how the actor takes on the role, so they have to film alot on the first day. they also would want to see the filming crew's reaction and communication. but i had to ask them to cut some scenes we were going to take on that day. and that, normally isn't welcomed. people normally think "this is why i don't want to cast an idol for a role". but that drama cast and the crew were really nice people, and they told me to go and do my best and wished me luck. and that, changed me. i thought to my self, "i have to get this role". for the sake of those people who i troubled. I asked them for their time, and also asked them to cut some scenes, for the important first day to set the atmosphere of the whole drama shooting. it was a personal favor, and it could be taken as being selfish. but then they still let me go to the audition. so i thought i have to get the role for the movie. so when i got the role and that was on the newspapers, i thought it would be nice if that helped for the promotion of the drama....like "oh that guy who's going to the states is going to be on the drama?". ....yeap....that was what i hoped for.
I loved the feeling of reaching a goal since i was a kid. Playing RPG games is a great example. You can save the world you know ! (in the game). And people (in the game) treat you like god !!!! It you save the world. and people thankyou like mad. thats what i love about RPG games.....if thats whats happening in reality ? i'd probably go (lol) to save the world (lol) Basically, im under this feeling that "i want to be popular" (lol) so for example, if people say "please, help us, our daughter is going to be eaten tomorrow by the bad beast", "please help!", and if there was nothing i could do, i'd probably say "okay, fine, i'd be eaten by the beast for her". Isn't that kakkoii ?! (lol) im that type of guy. i'd probably be like that until i die. I want to be a hero, and i can't stop myself from acting so. most people choose the easy way, thats not the same for me. i choose the pathway that makes me more popular (lol) its neither "popular" or "not popular" (lol) "kakkoii!" or "not kakkoii". i'll probably choose straight away.....or no.....wait....ill think for a while, and choose to be eaten by the beast (lol)
the desire to be "popular" is never fufilled right ? even if you are popular at a certain degree, if you don't loose the desire to be more popular, you will never reach your goal. because i've heard that rich people will never think "im rich enough"...right ? so it goes the same for popularity. there's always someone in a higher position than you. If you reach a certain level that you have been wanting to reach, ur expectations will grow accordingly. You won't think "AH! im too popular now!" would you ? (lol) There isn't an end, to something you truly love. Or maybe, i should say that i love things that don't have an end to. acting is the same too. Even when you are done with something, you still have the next level to reach, so there isn't an end. i think so. i think every one has their own way to feel the satisfaction of reaching their goal. for example, there are people who love to be in sporting competitions right ? and they cry with joy or cry with devastation after their games.....thats probably another way of satisfaction of attainment....its just that i don't have any interest in joing a sporting event (lol) but i do feel great when i know i've reached a cretain goal or a level. That satisfaction, make me have a higher expectation, which makes me try even harder. "to the next level ! next level !". I want to feel good even more. thats why i desire attaiment, and yearn for it. thats what happening inside me.
I need "freshness" in concerts. I think about what kind of strategy will make the concert look new for the fans who have been watching us.
concerts...are fun. It's fun, and its one of those things that makes me fufilled too. its probably because its one of the very rare occasion where i can interfere with the fans. there isn't a better occasion to listen to their voice too. for example, when we peform a song from the album, the reaction is so different between the songs the fans like, and the fans dont really care (lol) we can see those reactions very clearly, so i like it.
Doing a concert is a way for arashi to express themselves. Don't take this wrong, but "arashi" has their weakness, and the concert stage is a place where we can just forget about that, and say "we're standing here, and this is us". When we were first told that we were going to do a concert with the five of us, i really felt that way. Because at the beginning, it was really like that. For example i said "okay, i can sorta play the guitar so ill go ahead and perform it", and someone else said "ill dance because i like dancing." So we were only able to give in to the concert by doing something we can do. But that changed, and now i just think we should just have fun in it. So people who actually direct the stage and think of the music list, would think a lot about the technical stuff, but i don't. I'm rather a "audience". I just watch people talk about the show, and if it seems like they are having fun, im okay with it. But also as a "performer", i will follow to whatever thats been decided, and i will do my best to make the stage in best condition.
On the stage ? of course im having fun ! but you have to remember....there are 2 or 3 people in our group that goes absolutely crazy on stage (lol) So i look around, and try to fit in whereevers open. And of course im watching the audience thinking....."are they having fun?" and also thinking "god, its steaming in here (lol)". To say the truth, i don't really remember about the concert. I need "freshness" in live shows like concerts and stage plays. So im rather thinking how to make the stage different everytime. So for example, i don't spend my time a lot in the makeup room/rest room in the theater. If theres no one visiting after the play, i almost go home immedietly. If i were to go out with the stage crew, i'd hurry them up so i can leave the place and minute. I don't want to get used to the "air" of the theatre. And thats the same for concerts. Because both concerts and butais have direct contact with the audience right ? To feel the happieness and to feel "fun" every second on stage, i need to be "new" to the theater or what ever stage im going to do the concert. That might be the reason i forget about the concert after its done. I don't even want to spend too much time rehersing for the concert. When i get to the stage, i just want to reherse straight away. I don't really need to strech or get ready....if i need to, ill go do it elsewhere......You think i have good agility ? well, i think i have to be that way in a sense. So we don't stop and think too much. especially someone like me. I'm probably really fast with memorizing the choreography and the list of songs we are going to perform....of course, how long do you think i've been doing this job ? (lol) But that depends on the individual, so i understand that some people need to reherse for a long time, but if i don't feel a need to reherse, i say "im going home!" and i leave (lol) Because you can go home if you memorize the choreography. But some people remain to discuss the chorepgrapy and stuff.....but that doens't mean that our view to the concert is different. It also doesn't mean i don't like it. It's just my way of doing things.
About concerts.........well, i think a johhnys concert is becoming a big business and a industry. So big things happen and a lot of people work for it. It's like making your dream come true. For example last year's moving stage. It took time for us to prove that the stage wasn't dangerous, but it was much harder for the staff to work under us. I bet they had such a hard time. I think a pionneer of an area must be confident of themselves. If they have doubt in themselves, people won't follow. So you have to think "its okay, we're doing the right thing." That moving stage, we didn't know if we can use it or not until the day before the opening day of the concert. But on that day, we had to prove to the officials from Osaka prefecture that it was absolutely safe for us to use the stage. I noticed how hard it was to do something for the first time. During last years countdown concert, that stage was used and im sure a lot of the people who were there saw the stage for the first time. But i think arashi fans just thought "oh ~ long time no see!" (lol) I felt that way too. It was.......3 month after the concert ? But it felt longer than that. And the surprizing thing is that they had three of them (lol) But looking at people amazed by that stage, i realize what a big thing we have done. so if we decide to do something like that again, im sure we will work to make that "dream" come true. Im up for anything if people can have fun with it. Nothing is decided yet for this years concert, but thats the only thing i hope. I wish people will have fun at this years concert.
