With 09.2011 - Shige's parts - [Translation]
I was getting bored so I started reading the interview to Hanawake cast's interview in the magazine With that inala posted...Shige said some interesting stuff so I thought to translate them. I'm sorry I didn't do the whole cross-talking but since I don't watch the drama and I barely know the other two actresses I wasn't very interested in doing it :D
So here you are Shige's answers ^___^
About work...
-Kato-kun, how did you enter this world (show business)?
I had interest in it since the beginning, then my mom asked me: "Do you want to try?". Since I've entered the agency I've always loved it so much, at the point that "I want to eat and feel full". I feel like this even now.
Anyway I still can't think about how people see me. I've always seen myself by myself. If I don't do it everything's blurred. That's why I always think how to become the person that I really want to be.
-What kind of person is that?
You know things whose color is faded, right? Like them, there are people who lost their colors a little with work and years but that keep being cool anyway. That coolness is experience and mind-set, it's overflowing. I want to become a man like that, I feel that wanting this makes me go ahead naturally.
About himself...
I'm a person who always criticize himself, even if others praise me (lol). I think "It's still not enough!" so I can work harder. Like this I consciously keep my feet on the ground and try to improve myself. Anyway when I feel down I'm so depressed that it seems I can't get over it (lol).
About love...
I'm sure I won't choose as love partner a person that may have an impact on (my) job. There are people who want a partner similar to them but on the opposite, I feel more comfortable when I'm with somebody that doesn't fully understand me. I would probably talk about work but I don't want to share everything.
-So you would be fine with a partner with different values?
I think so. If we are watching the same movie and I think it's funny while she thinks it's boring it's totally fine to me. I think that talking with a partner with completely different values and thoughts would be more honest. A relationship like this would be perfect for me.
-But if you want something and she wants the opposite it would be a little sad...
Being an only child I've always had to solve things by myself, so probably I'm not the type who would ask too many things. I'd just want her to listen to me from time to time. Sometimes I need to say what I want to say, if she lets me clear my head it's just enough. I want to do the same with my partner, of course.
(The two girls blasted his opinion XD In particular they explain him that to girls love is a very important aspect of life, sometimes more than work, and that women are willing to change themselves for the men they love)
I heard what you said but I really hope that I won't change myself and that my partner won't change herself for love. I really don't want to waver like that. I guess I'm not inclined to love (lol).
About marriage...
I'd like to marry one day. My idea of a good family is unexpectedly common. I can picture myself bringing the kids to school, trying to not been told by my daughter: "You stink!", and such things (lol). I think that all I have right now is also thanks to my parents, I want to become a good parent so that my kids will be one day grateful to me as well.
About the drama...
Since there are 4 very different girls who live different lives, I think that this drama can be watched by many people. It's a show that changes according to the point of view of who watches it. It's a drama for girls but I think that men may easily understand my character. I guess that middle school students will want to be like him (lol). It's a character easy to understand but in reality he goes through lot of frustration, he has lot of thoughts. He seems to be escaping from something, he has very human feelings, playing his part I could understand him better.
Though fortunately I'm able to do what I like, somehow I plod away with every job I get. Before I said that I always "see myself by myself" but I also wonder what my teenage self would think seeing me right now...I think about it a lot. I want to be a 50, 60 years old man that still look cool to my eyes. I don't want to be like anybody else, I want to be a man that I can consider cool. From now on I want to challenge many things.
