[Popolo June 2014] Type of Girl 2-Choice Discussion (Sexy Zone)
Scan from yoshiko-mama@lj
“Kento-kun only looks at girls’ legs!”
Even if you say “she’s cute”, that type varies for each person. The members thoroughly talk about what kind of girl they think is a “cute type of girl”!
Q1: Meek and honest OR Tsundere and stubborn (T/N: Tsundere is a hot-cold personality type. More info here)
Meek: Kento, Sou, Marius
Tsundere: Shori, Fuma
Marius: For me, an honest girl is good. Because if she’s stubborn, there would be a lot of fights and the love will be broken. But with that, it’s possible that both of us will know about true love .
Kento: From the start you’re speaking like you’re not a middle school student, huh. Moreover, your English pronunciation is too good (laughs). (T/N: Marius said “broken” in English)
Sou: I like either one, but I think an honest girl is cute.
Shori: I think that’s the standard, but doesn’t that depend on the time and situation?
Fuma: “An active girl, when the need arises” is nice. A girl that’s normally quiet, but sometimes becomes aggressive is the best!
Shori: I’m also more able to enjoy when there’s activeness, so maybe I like that.
Kento: For me, a girl that I’ll want to protect is nice.
Fuma: There’s no choice that says “a girl I’ll want to protect”, though.
Marius: Kento-kun, you made a mistake~ (laughs).
Kento: That’s~ why~, I’m the type who wants to love a meek girl. But, what should we do? If everyone’s quiet and they won’t get hyped up during our live performances…
Fuma: But if they’re all active girls, the mood during the ballads will be worrisome…
Sou: Right now, we’re talking about the type of girl we like, though.
Shori: This question is difficult. Because ideally, it’s better if both are present, right?
Sou: That’s why it’s about which one we’d like to have more of.
Kento: Then, a meek person, maybe? No matter what, I want to protect the girl!
Sou: Me too. But if she’s too quiet, I won’t know what she’s thinking about, so honestly saying her own opinions is a requirement.
Fuma: For me, it’s an energetic person.
Shori: Me too. Then, sometimes being quiet, that’s perfect!
Marius: I see. Then, I’ll also go with the quiet girl.
Fuma: Recently, Marius has a tendency to stick with the majority (laughs).
Marius: No. This conclusion was based from my earnest thoughts!

Q2: Naturally airheaded and quiet OR Levelheaded and hard-working?
Airhead: Shori, Kento, Fuma
Levelheaded: Sou, Marius
Fuma: Airhead!
Shori: Airhead.
Kento: Certainly, an airhead.
Marius: Then, me too.
Shori: Hey~! You copied again.
Kento: Right now, even I can’t save you. You totally joined in with the majority, Marius.
Marius: Then, starting now, I will think for a bit.
Shori: An airhead, but on the condition that she properly has common sense.
Sou: I think it depends on the degree of airheadedness. If she lacks too much common sense, I might not be able to follow along.
Fuma: If it’s a girl that seems not to know ordinary manners, I will thoroughly scold her, so I like a mild-mannered airhead.
Kento: Also, a girl that’s usually levelheaded, but sometimes becomes airheaded and looks embarrassed by it, isn’t that good?
Sou: That’s the best!
Shori: Super cute.
Marius: I’ve decided. I’ll go with the levelheaded career woman!
Fuma: So suddenly (laughs).
Kento: I’d like the girl to wait for me at home~.
Marius: I like a cool working girl. But if she works outside, there’s a possibility that she’ll have an affair, so I’ll get worried.
The four: Is that so~!?
Marius: That’s also romantic, so that fine, though.
Shori: Marius knows something about love.
Sou: Certainly, I also think a working person is good. Because I’m also working, and I don’t want to stop my girlfriend from doing what she wants to do.
Fuma: But, the greeting when you come home and she says, “Dinner is ready ♪”. Isn’t that the best situation!?
Kento: Uwah, that’s really my ideal!
Shori: That’s the best. I’ll finish my work abruptly and dash until I reach the house.
Sou: I can make meals, so it’s alright.
Marius: Hey, which side am I?
Fuma: A while ago, you said a career women, right? You said it yourself.
Marius: But, I’m worried about an affair, so I want her to be at home.
The four: …… (sigh)

Q3: Girly OR Boyish?
Girly: Kento
Boyish: Fuma, Sou, Marius, Shori
Fuma: Recently, there’s a look that I really like. A somewhat oversized hoodie with short pants. Sneakers are also nice~. Oh, the hoodie is the one that doesn’t have a zipper!
Marius: Yup yup. I like that.
Shori: I’d like girls that boyish but showing legs and such, and incorporate femininity in their fashion to increase.
Sou: For me, if she wore a cap with that, it’s the best. A hoodie, cap, and high-cut sneakers is the requirement.
Fuma: That’s really too specific.
Marius: Also, I think a girl who smoothly wears a leather jacket is also cool. Short pants with a leather jacket is a trend.
Fuma: Huh? Could it be, Nakajima is the only one in the girly faction?
Shori: Kento-kun has always liked the fluffy type. But in really, just how frilly is okay for you?
Kento: No matter how frilly is okay (laughs). Well as long as it’s within the range of common sense (laughs). But I don’t have any rules as to what shouldn’t be worn in particular. And if she has long fluffy hair, I might instinctively want to get closer.
Sou: Eh, I have preference when it comes to fashion, but any hairstyle is fine. As long as it suits that girl, I think any kind of hairstyle is cute~.
Fuma: I also approve of long hair. The hairstyle is feminine, but the clothes are boyish, that kind of gap is the best, I want girls to understand this~!
Marius: It’s alright ♪ Because I understand perfectly. Speaking of which, Shori-kun also likes long hair, right?
Shori: No, recently I like closely-cropped hair.
Marius: Oh my god!! What do you mean?
Kento: Then, this means Shori is the only one in the closely-cropped hair faction.
Shori: Really? That’s bad! That was a lie, it’s long hair! I’m in the long hair faction~.

Q4: Slender or chubby
Slender: Shori, Kento, Fuma
Chubby: Sou, Marius
Kento: Recently, chubby is popular, right?
Sou: From the start, I’ve been in the chubby faction, though. Because if she’s very thin, I’ll get worried.
Shori: Men are often thought of as liking thin girls more, but actually, normal is the best. I wonder if a very thin person is in a poor condition.
Marius: I also choose a chubby person. Because I like the cute type.
Fuma: This is impossible…… Which to chose…… This is today’s most difficult problem, so can’t I choose both?
Kento: Rejected. Everyone likes either one, but in order to choose, they’re hardening their hearts and thinking.
Marius: Yup. Isn’t Fuma-kun’s type a slender person?
Fuma: Did you know? My father likes the chubby type.
Kento: We don’t know~, don’t expose your father’s preferences in our round-table discussion (laughs).
Shori: Then, maybe I’ll go with slender. But chubby is also hard to discard, so I give up already!
Sou: I think Kento-kun totally goes for the slender type. Because he likes legs.
Marius: That’s right. Kento-kun really likes girls’ legs.
Kento: I’ve never said a word about that, right? Proceeding with the conversation as you please, scary……
Sou: I think not being able to enjoy a meal together is lonely. A girl that eats more than I do is proof that she trusts me, right?
Kento: Without listening to my opinion, my type has been determined as you please?
Shori: Seems like it.
Marius: If she eats a lot of the food I made for her, I’ll be happy, so always worrying about dieting is no good!
Kento: I thought of that, but doesn’t slender mean a type of girl that is tall?
Fuma: A girl that has slender height and is tall is cool. Even if she’s taller than me, I wouldn’t mind. In other words, does this mean I’m in the slender faction?
Sou: Maybe. I want to date a person that’s as tall as Fuma-kun.
Fuma: Eh, wait, I don’t want to date Matsushima-kun, though.
Sou: I meant a tall girl!
~END~
So, I think I’ve made it my personal mission to translate all of Sexy Zone’s 2-Choice Discussions. LOL. They’re honestly my favorite, and I like comparing my answers with the members and seeing whose opinions I match the closest. If you follow me on twitter, you might know this already, but can just say I adore Sou for pointing out that he shouldn’t stop his girlfriend from doing what she wants? Preach, bb! (I’ll stop here before I end up writing a long rant. LOL.)
In other news, I’m currently uploading links for Sexy Zone Channel Ep 6, so watch out for that! Done! Check it out over here.
NOTE: I am still learning Japanese, and English is not my first language, so I apologize for any mistakes I may have made. Corrections and constructive criticism are very much welcome!
