Happy Birthday, Tamamori Yuuta!
I am uh, too tired to write anything. =|
I did not expect tearing duct tape off the mats would give me such sore thighs the next day. Maybe I just need more exercise in general. All the walking is just not enough. Not the right muscles used. I mean, I do stretch, but it's not enough. Plus I had work, on a Saturday. Did not help with motivation. Had a nice time with my friend and her friend (who I met for the first time today, so not really a friend to me yet...), so that's good though.
Tama's birthday though! It's time for the few days of the year where each of Kisumai members is a year apart from each other's age! 21 to 27, all filled!
Translation. Tamamori Yuuta x Fujigaya Taisuke. They talk about filming for Ikemen Desu ne and their interactions with some of the other members of the cast. Tama isn't used to his new position and has a secret ambition in mind. Taisuke's reaction to the ambition though...

Fujigaya Taisuke x Tamamori Yuuta
Commemorating their co-starring in a drama, they had a photoshoot with the two of them. It seems that on the filming set, Tama has become the person that gets teased, so they talked about that in the crosstalk as well (laughs).
We~ll, with your ability, it’s still far from being possible
Fujigaya: Right now, we’re filming the drama “Ikemen Desu ne”...but Tama, you are doing the filming for Getsu9’s “Shiawase ni Narou yo” at the same time. [Note: Getsu9 refers to the timeslot, Monday 21:00]
Tamamori: Yea, that’s right~ Until midway, the two will be filmed concurrently.
Fujigaya: But well, your role in Getsu9 is small (laughs).
Tamamori: ...that’s true. I can’t say anything in return (laughs). But you know~ This time, including Hikaru, when it’s the three of us on set, for some reason, I become the person that gets teased. Why? My secret ambition though is “One day, I will tease Taipi!”
Fujigaya: Do your best then? (with composure) We~ll, with your ability, it’s still far from being possible.
Tamamori: ......with this too again, I can’t say anything in return (laughs). I will tease you though! I’m going to poke you lots!
Fujigaya: Aah, yes, yes, do your best (laughs). I don’t know what kind of position Hikaru is in or what kind of character he is in JUMP, but when he’s on the filming set, I think he’s skillful. He can do anything quickly.
Tamamori: That’s true. We entered the agency at the same time, but Hikaru basically hasn’t changed compared to before. Before I realized it though, when did he gain such skills in teasing me? (laughs)
Fujigaya: That’s because, every week with comedians...he does a variety show together with that Zakiyama (Yamazaki Hironari)-san, so in that area, he’s already a veteran (laughs).
Tamamori: I see. Speaking of Zakiyama-san, during the baseball tournament, he came together with (Katori) Shingo-san to the Dome for a location shoot of a show.
Fujigaya: I learned how to fill in pauses from him~ He kept on speaking, yea. Between one topic finishing and the next one, his formula was to fill that space with “Eeh, eeh eeh...” basically (laughs).
Tamamori: That’s right. Also, related to Shingo-san, Yanagisawa Shingo-san who we work together with in “Ikemen”! That person is seriously amazing too! He’s just as you see him on TV. His personality and tension is just like he jumped out from the screen as is (laughs). Incidentally, on the set of “Shiawase ni Narou yo”, Takahata Atsuko-san who plays my mother is like the female version of Yanagisawa Shingo-san...she’s always cheerful and a really fun person.
Filming still has to happen, but I don’t have the confidence as to not laugh though (laughs)
Fujigaya: Heh~ I see. With Shingo-san, I’ve have a few chances to talk to him in private, and he always said to me, “I want to work with you someday.” That’s why this time, to be able to really work together together like this, I’m happy.
Tamamori: This is my first time meeting him, but even though he’s a dai-senpai as an actor, he talked to us from the same point of view, and he really makes us relax.
Fujigaya: He’d say things like, “Okay, listen, lou guys...no, you guys” during rehearsals (laughs).
Tamamori: Filming still has to happen, but I don’t have the confidence as to not laugh though (laughs) What will I do~ if I keep getting NGs in a row(laughs).
Fujigaya: You’re really bad at enduring laughter, yea (laughs).
Tamamori: I can only try my best! This time, when we have a huge number of interviews, you can really feel that we’re really gathering a lot of attention.
Fujigaya: That’s true. We’re getting attention for it being a remake of a huge hit Korean drama, but we have to make sure we don’t get buried by that. Since there are many actors with strong personalities, we will learn lots from them.
Tamamori: Yea. I felt that for sure, it’s because they’re veterans, that they’re enthusiastic in learning and are modest.
He thought, “I see...no wonder his responses were normal” (laughs)
Fujigaya: Right, right. On the day where we had this rush of interviews a while ago, we did an on-the-spot interview in front of all the reporters, right? At that time, it’d be good if I can give out this easy-to-talk atmosphere...is what I thought, but in reality, all three of us were stiff (laughs).
Tamamori: If I had already become the person that gets teased at that time, it probably would have had a softer atmosphere (laughs).
Fujigaya: So you mean...my teasing wasn’t enough.
Tamamori: No, no, that’s not what I meant (laughs). That’s because I wasn’t such a character within KisuMai!
Fujigaya: Hikaru said this though. “Hey, doesn’t Tama suck at responding to our teasing? He always get teased, right?” (laughs).
Tamamori: He’s~wro~ng~!
Fujigaya: When I said to him, “It’s different in KisuMai,” he said, “I see...no wonder his responses were normal” (laughs). That guy is used to variety shows, so his evaluations in that area is tough as expected (laughs). It’s alright though. After doing this drama, your level will be raised quite a bit. Eventually, to the point where Senga and Miyata will be jealous (laughs).
Tamamori: ...I understand. I’ll do my best.
Fujigaya: Hahaha. Seriously though, this drama offer that we got is such a rare chance. I want to make it something good, to the point that when other members watch the drama, they’d think, “I wanted to be part of this too!”
Tamamori: Yea. The three months from hereon, I’m counting on you!
Four out of five! I'm almost meeting my goal~
Hope people enjoyed this!
