[translation] Potato December 2018: Yaotome Hikaru X Inoo Kei Cross talk
Hello! This translation is a bit late and I'm not sure if someone did this already, but if you still haven't read this then feel free to read it~ :) Enjoy!
__
Inoo and Hikaru were addicted to hot pot.
Hikaru: Is Inochan sensitive to the cold?
Inoo: Yes, I’m bad with the cold. How about Hikaru?
Hikaru: If I had to pick one, then I am bad with it as well. Doesn’t the cold make you want to eat warm and light food? For example, nikujaga and such.
Inoo: Ahh, certainly. If that kind of food welcomes me when I get back home, my tension goes up. When we go on location shoots during winter, it makes us happy whenever the staffs prepare warm soup for us.
Hikaru: Yeah, I feel relieved with that. It feels like they caught our stomachs with the food. (laughs)
Inoo: If a girl I like does that for me, then I’ll fall in love with her all over again.
Hikaru: If it’s about warm food, there’s a hot pot restaurant that we often went to when we were still high school students, right?
Inoo: How nostalgic! Half of the route we take on our way home is the same, so we often ate together near the station where we separate before going home. At that time, hot pot was still fresh (note: I think like “still a new thing.”)
Hikaru: We just accidentally discovered that restaurant. It was the first time for both of us to eat it, but we got so into it because it was so delicious!
Inoo: There was a period when the two of us went there every week, right? There were various choices of soup, but we always ordered the soy sauce-based one. I wonder if that restaurant is still there?
Hikaru: When I commuted there recently, it was still there. I want to go there again!
Inoo: At that time, we went there while wearing our school uniforms. We definitely had a lot of free time before.
Hikaru: If I think about it now, it feels surreal.
The opposite sex is full of things we don’t understand.
Hikaru: Do you have anything that you don’t understand in a girl’s heart?
Inoo: Eh-everything!
Hikaru: HAHAHAHA
Inoo: A girl’s heart is full of things we don’t understand. I just naturally don’t understand it.
Hikaru: What puzzles me is if a guy invites a girl to have ramen for lunch, the girl will dislike that right?
Inoo: There might be girls who would be alright with that, but if a guy they favor asks them that, I wonder of the girl will think that the guy isn’t romantic, or his humor will be crushed.
Hikaru: A guy doesn’t search for romantic feels during lunch. (laughs)
Inoo: In those times, a girl who will frankly say OK is a savior.
Hikaru: Recently, I think it’s amazing that girls go to famous sweets shops just to specially take photos that would be uploaded on social medias. Moreover, some of them even come from far places. I’m surprised with their energy. Rather than saying that I can’t understand it, it’s more like I don’t have that concept of thinking.
Inoo: Whenever I go to location shoots in the streets, I ask some girls why they went there and an overwhelming number of answers were because they saw the restaurant on social media. I can feel the influence of social media.
Hikaru: I wonder if girls have the ability to take in such trends/fad in their lives while enjoying.
Inoo: It seems like many girls also rely on social media with consultations regarding their fashion.
Hikaru: Even for someone who doesn’t have much idea on western clothes, this might never become my thing as well.
If I’m a girl, I won’t be popular for sure. I’m glad that I’m a guy! (laughs)
Inoo: If you could be born again, which gender would you choose to be born with?
Hikaru: Boy. How about Inochan?
Inoo: It’s definitely boy for me as well.
Hikaru: Like when using the toilet, or wearing clothes and makeup. I don’t need to do my best with those things. (laughs) It’s definitely easier for men.
Inoo: Right. You can go out the house without much preparation after waking up.
Hikaru: Then if JUMP members are girls, who do you think would be popular?
Inoo: I think everyone would be popular? Everyone’s faces are reasonably put together.
Hikaru: That’s your standard?!
Inoo: “Won’t their looks be close enough with their current looks?” was what I wanted to say! (laughs) But if I must pick, maybe it would be Chinen because he’ll let me touch his body right away.
Hikaru: What do you mean? (laughs)
Inoo: Chinen’s guard is weak. If I touch him a little, he’ll just let me touch him as it is. (laughs) (note: Sorry I’m not that sure if I translated this right.)
Hikaru: Maybe it’s Yuto for me because whatever you’ll say, he generally laughs.
Inoo: Girls who smile and laugh a lot are great.
Hikaru: Yes, I’ll be happy with that kind of girl. I think someone who has a great smile will have high points. So what do you think about us?
Inoo: Us? Hmm no…
Hikaru: I will definitely be unpopular. I don’t have confidence with my fashion sense, I don’t have a balanced diet, and all I watch is anime.
Inoo: If that’s the only information I’ll hear, then it seems like you won’t be popular.
Hikaru: I’m so glad to be a guy! (laughs)
Inoo (in a high voice): As for me, I will only let my guard down to the person I like~
Hikaru: Eh? Inochan, you became a girl already? (laughs)
Inoo (in a high voice): I think I won’t easily fall for someone~
Hikaru: HAHAHA! I understand. Inochan’s guard is too strong, so you won’t be popular as well. (laughs)
