[Translation] Ikuta Toma Non No 03 2010 A-Z Interview Part 2
Ikuta Toma's A-Z Interview Part 2!
Enjoy!
Off
Lately, I went on a family vacation and had a more complete holiday. I've always wanted to go but wasn't able to find time, I'm happy now that I fulfilled my wishes. We went to hawaii. Because they don't like laying out a thorough plan, we went with completely no layout, just spent time leisurely. We played jet ski and parasailing, water sports are so fun ne. This time our whole family went together, this has never happened since my teen days. We spent it without arguments either, there was a feeling of "this is not bad!"
Pet
If you ask me whether I belong to the dog team or cat team, I'm definitely part of the dog team. I have a pet at home as well. It's something someone brought home one day, I saw him there after I got home from work (laugh). She's totally a part of our family now. I would bring her out to walks as well, it feels very soothing to be with her! No matter what time I get home by at night, I would always think "let me check on her before I sleep". She sticks with my dad the most, I am probably "the man who's ranked second".
Quarter
I don't really mind my age. Even though I'm 25 there's no special feeling to it. The 20 year old me and the 25 year old me in all likelihood didn't change much. Just that I am more able to realize "when to become loose and when to be serious". I haven't thought of plans for when I become 30, neither have I established any personal goals. It is enough to simply "treasure your age every year"
Reading
The book I'm reading now is a book by Yusaku Matsuda-san and script writer Maruyama Shoichi. It is a thick book that has assembled the scripts Maruyama-san wrote for Matsuda-san. It also includes the secret to being creative and important episodes in his work. It's very interesting and educational. About reading, compared to reading while moving around or filming, I probably spend most of my reading time leisurely at home.
Soccer
Soccer is the only sport that I've seriously played. Even though I really love it, I haven't had time to play or watch it much lately ne... I've also been saying "I want to go play " in terms of golfing, but I never went. Whenever I want to move my body around, I would visit the gym. The me right now is not "sports", but "physical training" mode probably?
Thank
When asking me about being "thankful", I would think of the time when I was invited as a guest at Yamashita (Tomohisa)'s solo concert. The audience obviously went to the concert to see Yamashita, yet they welcomed me so warmly. I was so thankful~. Being able to spend happy moments with your important friend like that, I would never forget that day!
Unique
Funny things that happened recently.. there are there are! Among the many Dazai Osamu works there's a novel called "Villon's Wife". There was a staff-san who wanted to say that name but instead said "Beyonce's Wife"! (laugh) Everyone exploded with laughter and retorts like "It's not "beyonce", its "villon"!" or "How can beyonce have a wife?" It's still funny thinking back to it now!
Voice
When in the middle of performing stage plays, I would make sure that I don't damage my throat. I would use a humidifier, and refrain from drinking beer and cold drinks. It seems that my body is quite healthy so it helps me a great deal. Having to change voices for different roles as well, I would have to work hard on methods to produce different sound and pitch so that my role is more realistic.
Wedding
It doesn't matter if I don't get married right now. In my opinion, "it will happen when the day comes". Being married is about "both parties living healthily". Even though it's simple, it's really important ne? About the style of the wedding... men don't usually care about that ne. All I wish for is a wedding that will leave the other party a wonderful memory.
Xxx
My secret? Is there anything? ... Ah! If I must say then it's the cold feet and hands you rarely see from guys. I would sleep with socks on everyday during winter. However, due of the discomfort probably, they are always already taken off when I wake up in the morning. (laugh) But compared to taking baths or using an electric blanket, socks are more comfortable ne~.
Youthful days
My "youthful days" must be my high school years. During school excursions, I would secretly take my CDs and DVDs with me, and listen to the music at night with my friend and I each listening through one earphone. This left a deep impression on me. Since we're on this topic, the songs we listened to were songs by Ozaki Yutaka-san. The choice was also very "youthful" ne? (laugh)
Zzz
It doesn't matter even if my sleeping time is short. If I sleep for too long I would have a headache, my body would also feel sore. That's why its around 5~6 hours ne. Lately, someone gave me an aromatic oil spray that can be applied onto your pillow and bed sheet. Surprisingly, I sleep very well after using this! I would be able to fall in deep sleep within minutes. The effect is too amazing, I am still happily using it. (laugh)
