Yamada Question & Answer from Margaret 05.11.2010
Profile: Yamada Ryousuke - born on 09.05.1993. hometown Tokyo. blood type B. Member of the popular Johnny's group Hey!Say!JUMP. Nowadays, the Live DVD Hey!Say!2010TEN JUMP is released with high reputation. Also, as a member of the 3 person Unit NYC, their single Yoku Asobi Yoku Manabe is going to be released
Q1: Recently, the thing you felt thankful about was?
Usually I'm thinking that of everyone (meaning, he is thankful to everyone). Because I'm a person who can't be alone. I'm thankful to my family for all the everyday commodities/personal belongings, and because of the sweet times i had with JUMP, I'm thankful to JUMP, too.
As for school because I get various help from the teachers, I probably am thankful. Of course I'm also thankful to all the fans,ne!
Q2: What are the moments when you thought „this is happiness~“
When I'm eating meat. Recently I ate yakiniku for 3 days straight. After all, for a while it becomes good, I thought, ne.
Q3: Recently the thing you got annoyed over was?
Yesterday, the rain was enormous. Because I have curly hair, my fringe became winded and I got annoyed. In the morning I desperately used the hair iron *laugh *
Q4: How would you reward yourself for hardworking? (I'm not sure how to actually translate this xD, this is the best I could come up with ^^°)
Going to Korea for 2 Nights/3 Days. Because I've never been there I want to try going there. If it's possible I want to go with the JUMP members,ne. I think that definitely would be fun.
Q5: What is the difference between the idol „Yamada Ryosuke“ and the normal „Yama-chan“?
Maybe the level of sparkling. This is the shadow of illumination *laugh *. (← I don't really understand this. I think he means, that the Idol Yamada is really sparkling, but his normal him is not as sparkling and therefore the shadow, or something like this xD) It gets brightened up. Because the normal Me is not that sparkling. When it's raining and my hair gets wet I still become droopy. (I'm not really sure with this translation, If someone could check this, I would appreciate it :3)
Q6: Which single Kanji character describes you?
Nothing(無)! No matter in what colour it is coloured. It's still uncoloured(無色).
But It's not being unemployed *laugh * (that's actually a play of words, because uncoloured (無色)and unemployed (無職)have the same reading (mushoku))
Although I don't change my personality, If it's the case, I would immediately change the colour to adapt. (← I don't really get this sentence, sorry. He says: 人柄を変えるってことではないけど、その場その場で色を変えて、臨機応変に動けてるほうかなと。)
Q7: If you hadn't entered Johnny's, what kind of work would you want to do?
I wanted to become a soccerplayer, but becoming a kindergarden teacher would also be good. Because children are cute. (Aww :3 I could totally imagine Yama-chan as a kindergarden teacher >//<)
Q8: How do you want to call your girlfriend?
It's ok not to use any suffixes (like -chan, or -san, etc.), if that's possible. Something like OO-chan is... embarrassing.
Q9: How do you want to be called by your girlfriend?
Ryosuke. She can call me Ryo-kun, but not Ryo-chan. (Thanks to
yuirin for correcting)
Q10: If you could choose being born as a boy or a girl, which would you choose?
A boy. Because I'ts fun right now.
Q11: What is your ideal plan for an autumn date?
I want to try it [going on an autumn date], yo *laugh *. I want to walk together, hand in hand. With this immediately we sit down on a bench, in a park or the like. At this time I want to wear a muffler. A mokomoko warm one (←it seems to be a special fabric like in
this picture thanks to
zachii26 for explaining^^). Then when it gets cold, I will lend it to the girl. If possible I wish for her to come lightly dressed *laugh *
Q12: If you were a girl, which Hey!Say!JUMP member would you date?
Maybe Dai-chan. Because it it fun to just normally play with him (he says 遊ぶ which can either mean to play or to enjoy yourself^^). With Dai-chan's warm, hearty way, an atmosphere like this is comfortable *laugh *. If I would go on a date with him? It would be karaoke, wouldn't it *laugh * Because Dai-chan would immediatly say „Let's go to karaoke“ *laugh *
Q13: What if you win 300 million Yen in the lottery? (300million Yen is about 3 660 000 USD)
I would save 90% of it. With the remaining 30million (about 366 000 USD)? So much remains~.
I would go to Korea *laugh * When I go to Korea I would immediately go to the most famous yakiniku selling place (he really seems to like Korea and Yakiniku xD). But, also if I eat till I'm full, It would only be about 20000 [Yen] (~240USD)...
Ah, I'll try going to a beauty salon. If you think of Korea it would probably be beauty (not so sure about this). But still, there would be remains [of money], ne *laugh *
Q14: What is your position inside your family?
If there is for example Idol, artist, actress and actor, the family is about to divide, I'm the artist.
It's the responsibility of laughing/making laughs, ne.
Tou-chan (Daddy), If I say what would he be, he also is artist, kaa-chan (Mum) is probably actress. With this, because Nee-chan (older sister) is more like a boy, she is actor, my younger sister is probably actress...
Q15: A point to look out for in the highly commended Live DVD „Hey!Say!2010TENJUMP“!
It's the whole. Rather than telling a point to look out for, I wish you watch it all. If I'm forced to give one? There is this song „Ganbaretsugo!“ that is sung by Hey!Say!7, but at the time when 7 is singing it on Stage [Hey!Say!] BEST are in the back of the stage where the clothes are changed, they are having fun without any reason (Big thanks to
yuirin for helping) , this really startled me when I watched the DVD. While the tension is really high and act violently (again thanks to
yuirin for helping out :3) I wish you can understand my surprise *laugh *
Comments and corrections are loved :3 Reposting is ok, you don't have to ask, but please credit ^^
Maybe I will try to translate Yamada's Halloween assosiation game from Margaret too xD It looks fun^^
