Kis-My-Ft2 (Kitayama Hiromitsu) - Nikkan Sports Saturday Johnnys 8/8 2015
Happy Birthday, Kitayama!!!
You're 30 now! First one in KisuMai to turn 30! How time has flown by. I'm feeling old…
I'm looking forward to the concert and see what kind of things will happen! Face in cake, yes?
To be honest, I had wanted to translate something that was group-related because there's a concert after all, but I'm running out of time to prepare things, so a solo article it was…
This is also for first day of Tokyo Dome shows~
Translation. Saturday Johnnys. Kitayama talks about KisuMai's tour and a bit about Takizawa Kabuki, as well as his ambitions for the future.

"I want to become a national star"
Kitayama Hiromitsu
This week is Kis-My-Ft2's Kitayama Hiromitsu (29). The national 3 Domes Tour Concert "KIS-MY-WORLD", titled by their latest album, will be starting on the 29th. Because right before that, he will be taking part in Singapore shows of "Takizawa Kabuki" (start 18th), starring Takizawa Hideaki, he is working on putting the tour together speedily.
Not losing to Disney
The theme of the tour is a world within the mirror, so it's fantasy. We discussed it amongst members and decided on it, but I had been pushing for fantasy. We're aiming for a fantastical world that won't lose to Disney. I think people can be surprised 2~3 times just from the opening.
For the pair unit song with Fujigaya (Taisuke), we're doing it simply. We thought that way would be cooler. Since I can't be here (in Japan) during the Singapore shows of "Takizawa Kabuki", personally, I feel we have to decide on things rather early on. We're rushing a bit. With "Takizawa Kabuki", I think there are things that only Tackey, Kawai (Fumito) and I can do (together). I want to relish every single show as we do it.
Lately, in private, I've been eating out with Nikaido (Takashi) while planning things. Things like, how do we want to appear (on stage), we'd keep talking about it as we eat. I'm directing things with Nikaido. I'm doing the overall directing and think of various aspects in the overall picture.
Before it's too late, little by little
From hereon too, I want to watch the MC (styles) of various people in variety shows and study a bit more about doing MC. As a group, what we're aiming for is, well, it makes me wonder what national means, but I want to become national stars. Like Arashi and SMAP. We have to consider our age too, so around the 7th or 8th year (after debut). I want to gain real abilities properly. Before it's too late, little by little. Little by little is good.

Work
For skydiving we did for "BUSAIKU!?", it was scary when we went up.
Day Off ①
We ate and when I said, "I'm going back by train," Tackey said, "Let's take the train."
Group
In the show "KisuMai BUSAIKU!?", airing on FujiTV, everyone is aiming for first place seriously.
Day Off ②
A snapshot from my cruiser (it's a lie). I went to the sea with my friend to take my mind off things.
Day Off ③
When I run with someone on days off, the percentage of it being Nikaido is high.
Favourite Item
I can hold it with my hand and crumple it up, but I can also hang it off my shoulder, so it's an useful bag.
Hope people enjoyed this~
