Kis-My-Ft2 - Duet April 2013 KisuTsuu
I feel like I'm going to run out of space on shelves again soon, though there's still empty space and it will take me a while to fill those up. Still. I'm still trying to think of some ways to organize my miscellaneous stuff. There must be a better way to do this, but I honestly don't have much space. Mhhh...
Anyway, with the summer season coming up, I was looking at the new anime titles and picked out a whole bunch to watch as usual. I can't seem to pick less titles. /o\ Let's not get started on dramas... I started watching Tokyo Zenryoku Shoujo today to get moving with some fall titles, but with a KY main character, it's not a series I can just plough through in two days or so. XD; I guess I'll have to start another series to watch together... Maybe Hitori Shizuka? It's short after all. Though I might end up finishing that before even moving on with Tokyo Zenryoku Shoujo, haha. XD; Ah, well, I'll figure things out. I won't say all, but if I can at least most of the fall series I have left before summer season starts...? Ick, that sounds like a huge goal. =|

Hiromitsu Kitayama's Item Talk
mono story
This month, the one who presented us his private goods is Kitayama! It’s an item episode related to his school days♪
In a shop that I walked into by chance, a staff called out to me. When I looked at his face, I saw that he was a senpai from my school days, and I was surprised~ I felt nostalgic and we talked for a bit too. Then, since it was a rare chance, I thought to buy something in commemoration, and what I chose what this accessory. It seemed like I was given a bit of discount and I try to wear it from time to time.

We received replies from readers about “Tell me ways to relief stress” that we collected in the February issue! Have this talk of thanks.
There’s “Look at Miyacchi’s smile!” (Fukui・Nikaccho) and several other ones with the same opinion, but no way, I’d get irritated instead (laughs). “Thrust your face into a pillow and shout” (Kyoto・LOVE TaiP), this is nice, things like this are interesting☆ Things like “aroma” and “massage”, everyone, thanks for telling me~ Right now, I’m in Kyoto, filming for my drama, right? The other day, since I had time, I sent a mail to Miyata. I sent a funny photo of Miyata I had on my cellphone. Then, a reply came from Miyata immediately, but since I was satisfied with just sending the photo, I didn’t respond (straight face). I understood with that, but I’d feel refresh after teasing Miyata! I discovered a way to relief my stress!! (laughs) Everyone, thank you~♪
Kento Senga's Throbbing Diary
Moe Moe Memory
This month, we have a ♡ report from Senga who substituted Miyata, challenging a throbbing talk and pose!
I spoke about this on the radio too, but I got a dog! A girl tiny poodle! Her name is “An”. I named her. It seemed like my mother wanted to name her “Tiara”, but that’s just giving a cute name to a cute girl, just as it is. I wanted “Anko”, but in the end, we went with “An”. An is very smart, and she already remembers how to use the toilet and can do sit as well. She’s running around with energy with her small body now. Even when she jumps towards my chest, she’d fall and roll over from using too much force...she’s the cutest and I’m totally in love with her♡
Taisuke Fujigaya & Wataru Yokoo’s Talking Time Together with Readers
YuRuFuWa Talk
[Note: Yurui means lax, lenient, while fuwa(fuwa) means fluffy, light]
The two who are seriously close friends appear in YuRuFuWa Talk! An extension of their usual chattering...have their crosstalk that feels this way.
Fujigaya (the rest as F): Wataru, you’re here! (delighted)
Yokoo (the rest as Y): What do you talk about here?
F: Hai, hai! I want to ask a question!!
Y: You can ask readers questions, right?
F: Yea. You know, how the pair of me and Wataru became more popular in Duet’s “pair voting” project, right? I want to know the reason~
Y: ...isn’t it because we get along well since before?
F: I wonder what they like about this middle-aged couple?
Y: Such as how we can immediately do poses where we stick to each other. If we’re with other members, we’d think for a moment (laughs), but when it’s the two of us, we do it naturally, yea.
F: Aah, I see~♪ There may be even more other reasons though! That’s why let’s ask the readers, “The reason you like the Fujigaya & Yokoo pair”~
Y: Should we ask, “Things you want the two to do” too?
F: Yea, let’s ask. Ah, I got first place for the “pair voting” with Kitayama. Of course I was happy about that too! Write this down properly, Duet!
Y: Please write up to “write this down” down.
F: Hey...(laughs). Well, it’s fine. For things you want Wataru and I to do, we’d do anything.
Y: Just to be sure though, we won’t kiss though? Since both Duet and readers are scary~ (laughs)
F: Hahaha! “A good kid’s request”, yea.
Y&F: Thanks!

Takashi Nikaido & Toshiya Miyata's Heartwarming Crosstalk
This talk column where the two with the best smiles have gathered. The mischievous two will precisely talk about “mischievous” as their theme☆
Miyata (the rest as M): Ya~y!
Nikaido (the rest as 2): Ah, it’s chocolate.
M: It’s KisuMai chocolate! (looks at the packaging with messages) Look, it’s “I love you.”
2: It’s “thank you” from me.
M: Okay, I’ll feed you, here.
2: (had Miyata place the chocolate into his mouth) Thanks (laughs). Well, me too then.
M: Mogumogu... [Note: Mogumogu is an onomatopoeic word for eating and chewing]
2: Hai, mischievous!
M: Even though no photos were taken, we really fed each other! We’re mischievous (laughs).
2: Yea! Shall we talk about mischievous memories too?
M: Compared to being mischievous, I’m the one Nikaido is mischievous to. Like how when Nikaido came to sleepover at my place, he spilled milk tea on the futon~
2: Ahahaha! That happened. It did!!
M: When walking together and there’s a corner to turn, he’d go ahead a bit, hide, and try to scare me. The prank Nikaido has been playing since he was in elementary school... Nikaido Takashi who still does it after turning 22!
2: Eh, people do it normally, right? (puzzled)
M: ......do you have any mischievous talk about me that you know, Nikaido?
2: U~m, you used to ride a bicycle around!
M: That’s normal!! (laughs)
Yokoo Wataru and Nikaido Takashi are appearing in
Stage Play “Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu Daisaishou Nairan”
(Aoyama Theatre, March 31st ~ April 13th)
Visual Photoshoot Report
● We caught Yokoo Wataru and Nikaido Takashi who will be appearing in the stage play “Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu Daisaishou Nairan” on the set of the visual photoshoot. Continuing from “Gekitsuiou” (August 2012) and “Kagayaku Hoshi Yami wo Saite” (November 2012), Yokoo plays Kircheis. The striking red hair was “a perm before, but it became a wig that’s more straight” and changed to a new style. To Yokoo who said, “I’m not used to it yet and the side bits are short...it’s a bit embarrassing,” Nikaido teased him with, “Yea, it’s a bit monkey-like (laughs)”, and they laughed together. At the studio, the photoshoot started with Yokoo who finished preparing earlier. Like how he quickly stood with proper form, and how strong his gaze was looking far away with his hand on his chest, traces of his role were already showing, precisely because he had played the role repeatedly. Meanwhile, holding out his gaze and fingers and giving service poses towards the cameras doing on-the-scene coverage, his true self is the usual playful Yokoo-san.
● Nikaido plays a soldier of the imperial army, Mittermeier. In order to play Mittermeier who has “honey-coloured hair”, Nikaido stood on the set, having gotten blond hair. His expression while looking into the camera was I’m stiff, the profile of a “great soldier”. “I will make and build on my role during rehearsals. That’s why I’m still “brand new”. Speaking of creating the role, it’s this wig. How is it? It’s quite good, right? (laughs)” and Nikaido told us how the photoshoot before rehearsals (interview was in late January) was the first step. About his third appearance in the same series, “I’m happy. I had kept in touch the whole time with everyone I worked together in this stage play. Like (Nakamura) Seijirou-san and Maa-kun (Ooyama Masashi)...to those who I’m able to work together again with, I contacted them with a ‘I look forward to working with you’,” and he seemed to be filled with anticipation. He also said, “I want to shock everyone who I’m with again like Nakagawa (Akinori)-san and make them say in a good meaning, ‘Crap!’”, and likewise, Yokoo too said, “I’m really happy for us to be able to gather again. There’s also pressure because of that, but I want to show them my growth”, and the two were showing promise.
● In the interview, “Alliance army, imperial army, combat uniform...Nika wore all the (uniform) costumes. It’s nice how you were able to do various roles” (Yokoo), “Watta was in the imperial army the whole time. It’s also envious how you were able to keep on playing the same role though” (Nikaido), and the two looked back on things together. Then, “Actually, when we were enemies in ‘Gekitsuiou’, (affected by the relationship) I kind of disliked you (laughs)” (Yokoo) and he gave a shocking confession!? “We didn’t talk in the changing room, yea. When I was asked by Watta, “Did you eat?”, even if I answered, “I did”, I didn’t look at his face...something like that. We didn’t go out to eat either” (Nikaido), “When we did ‘Kagayaku Hoshi’ though, we were comrades, so we went out for food together. This time, we’re in the same imperial army to...no, we were already good friends originally!” (Yokoo), “That’s right (laughs), we’re good friends so don’t misunderstand!” (Nikaido), and the two who panicked and laughed are perfectly chummy◎ This time, it’s their first time working with Kawamura Ryuuichi-san who plays the great commander of the Alliance army, Yang Wen-li! “When I saw Kawamura-san’s stage show, I thought, ‘Amazing!’ I’m really happy that I’m able to work with him...and I don’t want to lose to him” (Nikaido), “Yea, we’re doing our best too, so we don’t want to lose” (Yokoo). Pay attention who are to the two are burning with showmanship properly☆
