Neo Genesis Vol.32
Group Interview
Part 3/4
---Kai, do you have anything?
Aoi: Kai just keeps on drinking.
Kai: I've started to drink alone at home. Lately, when I haven't been able to sleep, I've relied on alcohol to sleep.
Uruha: Glühwein is good for that.
---I actually meant if Kai had something he'd like to do again?
Kai: I'd actually like to redo my first live with Gazette. (it seems he stopped playing half-way through)
Ruki: You got in because of that mistake, you know. If you did everything perfectly, you wouldn't have stayed.
Uruha: He was the first guy I'd ever seen cry half-way through a live.
Kai: Hey, I wasn't crying! I thought "wow~" and hung my head so it probably looked like I was crying.
Ruki: He was half-crying when I looked back.
Uruha: Ruki, you apologised in the MC, didn't you?
Kai: He explained why I'd stopped then. Like "he only just started yesterday..." And the fans were like "Do your best!"
All: Ahahaha!
Kai: That "do your best!" was the hardest thing about that live...
Ruki: And you stopped~
Kai: I'd like to redo that live.
Ruki: Yeah, but you'd keep on stopping, even after that live.
Uruha: You still do now!
---(laugh) Well, with those wonderful stories taken care of, we'll go on to the second song, HEADACHE MAN, and talk about your recent "headaches."
Reita: If we're talking about things you can publish, Kai doesn't close doors behind him. He really doesn't.
Kai: ......... (laugh)
Reita: Even in the studio, he never closes the door. He just opens it really wide and leaves it as it is.
Kai: I always think there's someone behind me. (laugh)
Reita: After about the 3rd time, I tell Kai "If you open the door, close it," and do it myself.
Kai: And you say "please!" I'm sorry.
Reita: Well, there's really nothing I can call a headache!
---(laugh) Yeah, that's only a small bother.
Ruki: I still hate bag inspections when you go through customs. I can only handle questions like "What did you come here for?" or "How long are you staying?" It's like "Why are they changing to some weird conversation halfway through?"
Uruha: Yeah, because you can't respond.
Ruki: When I say something like "Oh, Yah!" without thinking, the people make a face like "huh?"
---They're questions you can't answer with a yes or no.
Ruki: Those are scary. And they'll throw in a joke even during your luggage inspection. Like "alkdffghg~!" And I'm like "Uh... yes?" "What do you want me to do?" (bitter laugh)
---What about Aoi?
Aoi: I don't interact with people.
All: Ahahahaha!
Kai: That's so lonely. (laugh)
Aoi: Well, I don't think of things in terms of headaches.
Kai: For me, it's my physical strength. I get muscle pain the day after doing something.
Ruki: That's not a problem with your physical strength, it's your age.
Kai: It's my age!
---Or are you not getting enough exercise?
Kai: That's probably it as well. Doing a live after a long break left me exhausted.
---Speaking of, is everyone else well?
Reita: Good.
Uruha: We had an event recently and it wasn't that bad.
Ruki: It wasn't as bad as the first day of a tour.
Uruha: That reminds me, all the members left New Year's greetings on their blogs except for me. A fan noticed and sent me an email, but it was a headache....
Reita: (laugh) What did it say?
Uruha: "You haven't been with it lately."
Reita: (roar of laughter)
Ruki: It's like they're talking down to you!
---Wow, that kind of mail was sent to you?
Kai: They come quite often.
Uruha: Yeah~ It's really hard writing a reply. But I wrote one.
---Ok, next. The word "lost" from WITHOUT TRACE. What have you lost recently?
Ruki: What I've lost.....?
Reita: I haven't been able to control myself lately....
Ruki: Ha!
Aoi: What, you're unable to wait?
Reita: No, no, nothing weird like that! There are three things people desire in life, right?
Ruki: Is this dirty?
Reita: It's not dirty! It's not dirty!
---The desire to eat, the desire to sleep, and the desire to have sex.
Reita: Especially the desire to eat. I can't not eat.
Ruki: What?
Reita: Like this morning, I had pancakes at 5a.m.. Or cooking up some mochi and eating it.
Uruha: That sounds fine.
Reita: No, I'll eat a whole meal beforehand, or eat potato chips; I'm always eating. That's my loss. Stoic me is dead...
Ruki: When were you ever stoic?
Aoi: You're being stoic about eating at the moment.
---A good follow-up?
Reita: No, no! (laugh) I'm losing to my desires... And that's dangerous. Even the food I make myself tastes good.
Ruki: What have you made?
Reita: Curry.
Ruki: Ha!
Reita: It was ages since I cooked last, but I just had the feeling "ah, cooking's interesting." And because of that, I can't stop myself from eating, so I think "I have to excercise!"
Ruki: I'm losing money quickly.
---What do you mean?
Ruki: I've lost sense of how to use money.
Aoi&Uruha: Like we said~!
---Do you do things like buy items you want without even considering the price?
Ruki: I think I'm less patient that I used to be.
Uruha: I've never thought of Ruki as patient though. (laugh)
Reita: .... (smirk)
---Reita, you seem like you have something to say?
Reita: No, no. I'm just thinking of how he used to steal money from the band's savings. I miss that~
Ruki: I didn't steal, I took it and said "I'm borrowing this!"
Uruha: But you never gave it back.
Ruki: Fufufu.
---(laugh) Well, what about Kai?
Kai: I wonder? Something I've lost..... (Looks at Ruki) Is there anything?
Ruki: Why are you asking me?
Kai: I can't actually think of anything.
Ruki: Aren't you losing trust with everyone?
Kai: That may be so.
Aoi: But we said we had trust in you originally.
Kai: Well, maybe not then. (laugh)
---What's this?
Kai: I don't want to talk about it; we should stop here.
Reita: You lost living at home.
Kai: Ah~ I haven't done it yet, but I'm leaving home.
Ruki: This year, you'll be living alone for the first time.
Kai: I'm excited.
Reita: He's moving close to me.
Kai: Out of respect. (laugh)
~~~
... Is it just me, or is there something going on with Kai and the other members? o_O What with the trust thing and all.. It just seems like they're more distant with him than they were before. What's your opinion on the matter?
