[Translation] 2014.07 Wink Up - Crow
- My english is getting weird, I'm sorry
(and also at the same time I wanna translate it in a way that people who understands some japanese can get the feel of how the actual sentence goes... but then this interview reads like he's thinking out loud with someone transcripting him and it's such a self-insightful, slightly perverted... mess, wow.
The theme this time is "Crow" which we based on the impression of today's black-haired Kamenashi-san, what's the reputation?
It seems it gives an unexpected atmosphere to the people around me. In any case, I'm being told "It's nice", it's well-recieved among guys but how is it with girls though? [GIRLS LIKE IT TOO itisniceyoucouldkeepitforthetourthatwouldbegreat]
My manager told me it made news that I looked like a manga-character (lol). After all, the long, brown hair is the image I'm strongly associated with isn't it. Just that a thing like changing my hairstyle becomes news is something I'm thankful for. But, that's how much the image of me changes maybe. I've had this hairstyle for 5 months now so it's ordinary to me now. As it's parted into two blocks and cut short in the back and on the sides, wearing a hat it looks like I'm bald so I've become unable to wear hats (lol).
Crows are drawn to shiny things, what draws Kamenashi-san in?
Girls. Isn't this just instinct? When talking to a girl I'm attracted to, I look at her lips thinking things like "I want to kiss her", looking at her hands, "I want to touch them". Fundamentally, I'm the love-at-first-sight type so even if we meet for the first time I think that way. Because I don't have a certain "type" I like, "like" or "dislike" included, "I wanna make a mess of her" [°o° ...] or "I want to be soothed by her" or such, depending on the person a different me is being born, concepts within me change. Although, even if I think "I SO wanna grab her hand~" in reality it ends without that happening, just fantasizing while talking to her can be fun. If someone were to take a peek into my head it probably wouldn't be embarrassing, I'm not imagining that exciting things really. Somehow in WU, I'm always the pervert aren't I, well~ it's not like that isn't true though (lol).
Crows are often seen a symbol of bad luck but how does "Kamenashi Kazuya" want to be seen?
As expected, I want to be the sexiest Johnny's in existence… no no I'm kidding, it's just that I'm not aiming for anything. Wanting to be seen in a certain way, that's not something I want. Because I'm living by the mindset I have at any given moment, how am I being perceived when capturing that - is on the other hand what I'm concerned about.
How am I actually seen though… maybe as plain (lol)? It's alright if I come off as a bit selfish, liberal and carefree-ish person in other people's eyes. Although "Idol" and "liberal" are things that conflict, if there was a (numerical value) meter to it, my way of living would be like, either 0 or 100. And then, it'd be wanting to live in a way that makes people say "That's unexpected (of you)". Because if what I emit makes 100% sense, like "So Kamenashi-kun, he's that kinda guy then", as some obtained target I really don't like that at all and so to the extent of "Ah, they don't know anything about me at all do they~", that sense of distance might be what's good for a person. Of course if the other doesn't have an attitude of trying to understand it wouldn't be possible to work together but it makes me go "This person thinks I'm like this, ah well then I'll do something contrary to that". I'm a twisted kinda person, aren't I (lol).
