Because I can never run out of the thing to update about RUN&GUN
I dug through my very old collection of pages I cut out from japanese magazines and found one of RUN&GUN's interview amongs lots of w-inds.'s interviews. It was dated back to 2002 (O_oll) Can't believe I still keep it. The pages were a bit crumpled. But still readable. So I translated it for you guys *wink*
Plase don't ask me where did this interview come from because I also have no idea ヽ（゜ロ゜；）ノ Like I've said, it was cut from the original magazine and stuffed along with others. Now you tell me I have a bad system of keeping things (-__-;)
Sorry for my poor engrish. It might not be 100% correct so please forgive me for that
R = Ryuji // K = Kosuke // Y = Yuya // A = Akira
- Let's start with Akira. I heard that your hobby is eating?
R: Yes! Yes! Especially sweets. When I brought him gums and candies, he always says 'Thank You~' with his happy high-pitched voice and he looks so grateful for what I've done for him. It makes me so happy I just have to bring him some more sweets.
K: But it's weird that how much the guy eats, he never gets fat. He doesn't even have pimples! I'm so jealous of him.
- Eating lot of sweets like this. I bet you don't eat much at meals, right?
A: On the contrary! I always eat with a full rice bowl. I can seperate my stomach. There is a stomach for meals and a stomach especially for sweets. Like now, I think my meal stomach is starting to get hungry (laugh)
Y: This guy can eat all the time. If I handed him something right now he would have eat it.
- Just like giving a dog foods?
Y: You can say that (laugh)
- How will you feel if your mouth is empty?
A: Like having a fever. It's that serious.
- I'm starting to agree with Kosuke that you're very envyingly for eating so much but not getting fat.
R: It depends on one's individule metabolism. (Talking like it's about himself)
K: It's unbelievable.
- For Kosuke, how much you eat is how much you weigh, right?
K: Hai. If it is sweets, I even get pimples too.
- So...because of this, you like to take care of your health more than others.
R: Like when I was washing my face in the bathroom, Kosuke walked in and instructed me to completely wash all the foam off. Or else I would have pimples.
A: Even when we were recording a new single, he would bring a health book to read. Thay guy is unbelievable.
R: Yeah, and kept mumbling to himself...what kind of food had Vitamin E?
K: Vitamin B1! Not Vitamin E!
R: Well, it is the same to me (laugh)
Y: Like when I was taking my medicine. He forbade me to drink tea after taking them. He even yelled from across the room "Hey! Yuya! Do not drink that tea!" So loud I was stunned.
K: Because it is the regulation you can't break.
- Why not?
K: If it isn't water, the drug that goes into your system will not effects you properly. Sometimes the effect will even changed.
R: Hai hai. Wakatta! Next to Yuya.
- Wait. We didn't finish talking about medicines yet!
K: I like taking care of myself with good things.
R: Like for breakfast, he always finish his with Kiwi.
- Completely unlike Akira.
K: I'm also envy of Akira. I want to have that kind of body.
R: So you can do whatever you'd like ne~ (laugh)
- Looks like Akira is being mad at by Kousuke.
A: That guy is always like this. I'm use to it already.
- Taking good care of your health also benefits your works. You guys should be thanking Kosuke.
R: You're right...now change the topic to Yuya please!
- Okay, why is that everyone call you "Mr.Omniscience"?
R: This guy, whether really know the subject or not, always acting like he knows it.
A: But everytime we ask him something he always gives us the correct answer ne.
R: Such as, When was the radio first invented? And for what propose? Or other knowledge. You can ask him. He can answer you everything.
- Impressive!
Y: If we know all the information of the thing you're intersting in, it will help you link to other information of other things related to it. The more you research, the more information you'll get.
- You'd like to know everything so much you have to do the research?
A: Sou sou!
Y: Of course I have to. Don't you wanna know why Hokkaido is that cold?
A: Not in a bit. I don't care for the answer to that kind of question whatsoever.
K: It would be more interesting if it's about vitamin...
R: You two are such a match.
- How do you usually do your research?
Y: Well, I sometimes go to the library and find some books to read.
A: Sou da ne! Last time when I was riding in the Shinkansen with Yuya, I saw him reading some kind of book...mumbling to himself.
Y: It was the biographies of well-known people.
- Sasuka na Yuya. If anybody wants to know something they can ask you desu nee~
Y: Anything (laugh)
- Last, now it is Ryuji's turn.
Y: One word. He's a lonely kid.
R: When I sleep I have to snuggle up with the Kitty's pillow. But my sister just stole it away (laugh)
K: Hanging with Ryuji is fun but sometime I feel like he attached himself to me too much (laugh)
Y: Yeah, it only happened sometimes but when I was totally wiped out and someone was trying to snuggle up to me. It was like...what the hell!?
R: Kosuke just said I annoyed him. Well, he annoys me too.
- Don't fight guys. Isn't there some medicine to make people stop fighting?
K: No! But if you're tired you have to take calcium (laugh)
Y: Minna please don't fight with each other.
R: We are very close so it's only natural for us to bicker at each other sometime ne, Kosuke.
K: This is my false for speaking out my mind too much.
Y: And we almost end this interview beautifully (laugh)
The End
I can't stop laughing after finish reading this interview. Sorry for not be able to scan the pages for you 'coz 1) I have no scanner *getsbrick* and 2) They were so crumpled you might want to really brick me for real.
Actually the whole point of translating this interview is just that I don't want to translate Ryuji's blog right now. Maybe I'll wait till he updates more and we'll see about that (b^-゜)
