Potato NYC May, 2013
Chinen Yuri:
Speaking of which, the greatest chance that I have been looking forward to is related to my physical strength. There’s no twist to that kind of thing. It’s something I’ve been looking forward to since before, and these past 3 during our stage play performances, I was able to train. From now on, after finishing this job assignment, I want to always keep this form so my efforts don’t go to waste.
And then, I have to consider my ability to concentrate. For example, when we had practice for the stage play rather than telling myself “There always time to practice tomorrow and the day after that”, I would say “There’s no time to practice tomorrow”. I got really good at saying that. I guess if I think “It has to be done today without fail” then my ability to concentrate will increase in one go. Within my job, there are a lot of things that we have to intensely focus on. I think that style suits me perfectly.
Within my ordinary life style, there are often times where I’ve grown to not hear the voices of the people around me that over focus so much on games. I’m sure that there will be a time where I won’t be able to do the two. If it wasn’t for the ability to concentrate, I get the impression that I’d simply be awkward (laughs).
Surprisingly though, what I don’t have is the ability to be creative. For example, when it came to gathering up ideas for our concerts or the stage play, there weren’t really any times where I was able to propose any new or creative ideas. I’m more of the type that supports the ones with the idea and tells them “do this one/that”. Every single time we end up getting some really high hurdles (laughs) But when they gave us those things with such high expectations, it makes me happy, and the feelings to properly live up to the things that we yearn for are strong for me.
The power I want to obtain is… the power of psycho kinesis (t/n: the ability to move things with your mind). I want to try sitting in one place and pull things towards me with just one finger. For example, I want to use it during times where it’s too much of a pain to get up and get something to drink. After that, I want the power to talk. I have trouble during School Kakumei with the fact that when it comes to talking, I struggle. I want to be able to talk about a large variety of things!
Within the NYC members, Yuma really has a great power for actions. He can come up with a wide range of ideas all of a sudden. When it comes to me, I don’t think I have this kind of power.
For Ryosuke, his power to interact and deal with things is amazing. If something that we want to do suddenly comes up, he’ll support it right away. I think that the results that come out of what he supports are really wonderful.
