I post a little translation taking the chance to wish you all a heart-warming and tummy-filling Christmas! ♥
Whether you celebrate it or not, have a lovely holiday! Spend it with people you love, or at least like, and have a lot of fun (and food).
I think I'll come back posting something before the year ends but if I don't I also want to wish you a happy new year ^w^
(I know they don't look too happy of what I did to them
They have no power to rebel against me though U_U lol)
From Songs 01.2013
Q1. What is the field in which you cannot lose over the other members?
T: Toughness. I'm fine with sleeping only 3h, no matter how busy I am. For example, even if we have 2 concerts in a day when it's over I want to go play soccer or futsal. There are also many things I want to do before the beginning of the concerts. During free time I try to meet friends. I don't want to neglect my private life because of work, and viceversa. That's why I cut my hours of sleep (lol)
M: I can't lose in sports (lol). Tegoshi is a sporty guy too but I won't lose to anybody when it's about my favorite sports. I have confidence in swimming and short-distance running. On the contrary I'm not very good with long-distances and sports with instruments. Baseball, lacrosse...same with table tennis and badminton. I can't play sports with balls and something else (lol). More instruments there are the more difficult it gets (lol).
S: Organizing my time. In days like today when I have interviews I always bring my guitar with me. The thing I bring to work changes according to the locations. Guitar for magazines interviews, books or magazines during filming. Sometimes I also bring my pc so that I can watch movies in the free time.
K: Friendliness. Shige often says that I'm very sociable. I think I'm good at behaving in every circumstance. That's why when I'm in a new place for work I can always get along easily with people around me. I don't do my best to become friend with everybody, I just try to talk normally and it happens naturally. I guess I'm good at exposing myself. I talk about my way of thinking and my private life and the people listening feel closer to me.
Q2. What's the taste that you ate once and cannot forget?
T: During Tegomass tour I ate shabushabu of black pig meat in Kagoshima. It was so good! That day we were moving from Kagoshima to the next location, the restaurant opened just for us before we went away. It was really amazing. During tours I want to eat a lot of delicious food!
M: The ara shabushabu we ate in Hokkaido. When I go there I always want to eat it. I ate it for the first time some years after our debut and I didn't eat it since then. Then Koyama remembered about it so we went to eat it again to remember properly of its taste!
S: During high school there was a fashionable tenpura restaurant close to my house, near the country (lol). It was a building in a backstreet but the tenpura was so good! It was the first time I went to a real tenpura restaurant where they fry food one by one. I went there with my family often too, when my dad wanted to drink a little. It was fun and cheap. I want to eat there again!
K: The cake I ate during a TVshow in Jiyugaoka. I love sweets and that cake was unforgettable! It was shaped as a heart, with mascarpone cheese and cream, on the inside there was strawberry sauce. The contrast of sour and sweet was perfect!
Q3. My cheering song:
T: "Donna toki mo" by Makihara Noriyuki. I love the song and the way he sings. The lyrics are very straight. I always listen to it when I need to raise my tension. Lately I listen also to Momoiro Clover Z. Another song is "Kurenai" by X Japan. Everything of it is wonderful!
M: Right now it's "Word Quest". The lyrics and contents are easily understandable, when I listen to it I remember the feelings I felt singing it. It's a song about soccer but I sang it directing it to myself. I wish it'll become a cheering song also for the people who'll listen to it.
S: All Ellegarden's songs! I listened to them when I was younger in high school, they are perfect songs in days in which you want to run. For some people they might not be real cheering songs but when I listen to them I get really excited. Then I like "Fantasista" by Dragon Ash. Lately there's the song "Fight!" by Nakajima Miyuki in a CM in TV. When I listen to it I feel nice.
K: "Waraeba" by Ulfuls. The lyrics says that it's good to laugh, it always cheers me up. I listen to it during travels, before the butai and during a tour. I listen to quiet songs also when I need to raise my tension. Before the butai I listened to The Carpenters. I love calm songs.
