Duet 04.2013 - Goodbye
Massu
1. What was your last "goodbye"?
Basically I'm not good with goodbyes. Same with people and things. For example I can never throw the things I should...That's why I don't have "goodbye" episodes! (lol) At the end of the drama "Resident" I said "Thank you very much, good job everybody!" and I was moved. More than sadness, I felt a feeling of fulfillment: "I completed another task". It was a cheerful goodbye. The first sad goodbye in my life involves the ending of "Kinpachi Sensei". I was really sad to not work there anymore. The memories are still so strong. I didn't want it to end and I cried so much in the days before the clunk up...I was 15 back then, still a kid. I didn't feel fulfilled, I was mostly sad. A goodbye can bring different feelings.
2. Is there something to which you'd like to say goodbye but you can't?
It's not exactly what you asked (lol) but right now I'm searching for the right timing to say goodbye to T-shirts! Isn't it difficult to throw them? They get worn-out and pierced like socks, I really hate that...T-shirts are delicate, they fade, tear up, but that can look fashionable too. Now they sell T-shirts that in the past looked only old and ruined. In particular I can never throw the ones I like the most...So my closet is completely full of T-shirts (lol).
3. What if you had to say goodbye to the girl you like?
Why should I? I don't want to! If she really has to go away I'll move too! (lol) Anyway, if there's really a situation like that...the ideal would be a goodbye scene at the station. A big station in the center of the city, like Tokyo station. The girl has to go away to somewhere else. We would meet on the second floor...That's the image I have in mind. Ah wait, maybe an airport would be better. A goodbye on the second floor of an airport, just before the check-in. There would be many people around at first but then we would be almost alone. Anyway it would be like we're completely alone, in our own world. We shook hand and I smile until I can't see her anymore. Then I can finally cry alone (lol).
Koyama
1. What was your last "goodbye"?
A goodbye...there wasn't any! (*sweats*) My life lacks goodbyes. I always say "See you again!" or "I'll come again!". Basically I feel easily lonely so I never want to say goodbye. Anyway, I need to answer these questions! (lol) Right...today I was the first one to arrive in the studios but since I have no goodbyes stories it will take a lot of time, the other members will finish first and tell me "goodbye" while I'm still here...ehhh, isn't this sad?!
2. Is there something to which you'd like to say goodbye but you can't?
I have a group of 7 friends. One is a doctor, the other an editor...we're a group of people with different jobs, we can meet once every two weeks only. I'm the younger one there but for some reason everybody call me "Senpai" (lol). Some time ago we were eating nabe together, just after our appearance in "Music Station", everybody watched it. They praised me saying "Senpai, you were so cool!". I was happy and got over-excited: "Really? Why?" They replied "The dance was really great!" and "Your expressions were amazing~", they bullied me a little but it was so funny~ After dinner we went to other places talking and singing together. Moreover we did cosplay. Saying "Going to the toiler" and coming back dressed as maids (lol). I put on a white shirt and turned into a doctor. I even put on rabbit ears. We were all boys so we were really stupid♪ When I'm having so much fun I don't want to go back home. I never say "bye bye" first. I stay until the very last. I never want them to go away...they know I'm like this so they say that when we go out together they already know we're going to come back home very late. I would never really hold them though, they have work the next day. But my face clearly says "I don't want you to go~~"! (lol)
3. What if you had to say goodbye to the girl you like?
Well, I'd invite her on a date exactly like our first one? We'd visit again the places of our memories together...It would be super sad! Remembering the good time together...Ah, I wouldn't be able to say goodbye first. I'd know it's something necessary to clear things and assure a future for us and for her but...yes, I'd rather tell her "thank you". I want to part feeling that somehow we will be able to meet again. Right! I'd say "Sayonara ni sayonara" (=Goodbye to goodbyes)! When she asks "What?" I'd reply "Listen to Tegomass' new song! Doing that you'll understand my feelings". But that song is not about a couple...after all I'm really no good with goodbyes (lol).
[Koyama was so sweet here! He sounds a little childish not wanting to be left alone by his friends, it made me think that maybe he's gloomier than he seems... I also liked the subtle advertising to TM's single XD]
Shige
1. What was your last "goodbye"?
I often lose my sunglasses. I said goodbye to two pair of my favorite ones in a row just recently, I was so sad (lol). Ah~ I'm so disappointed...in particular for one pair, they were sunglasses customized for one of my favorite movies, they meant a lot to me. They were simple and black but they were very popular, I went to buy a new pair but they were sold-out. So sad. I tried to remember where I last put them, I think I put them in a pocket. I have this jacket, it has fashionable design pockets and because of those I lost a lot of things~ Like earphones and glasses. Then, I often forget where I put things...I really want to say goodbye to this side of my character! I decided that from now on when I go out I will entrust my precious things to my friends! But probably I will forget to whom I gave what (lol).
[Shige you seriously have to stop losing things! x__x]
2. Is there something to which you'd like to say goodbye but you can't?
I'd say "the TV". When I'm home I watch TV all the time. In particular comedy shows! Variety shows are interesting and they're useful for my job...but it's no good to watch TV so much! I think "I could go jogging a little" or "Today I want to go watch a movie" but in the end I stay home and watch TV until full night...(bitter smile). Basically my TV is always on. I don't like that, when I was writing "Pink&Gray" I "sealed" the TV putting a piece of cloth over it (lol). Writing "Senkou Scramble" I tried to not look towards the TV...but still I can't say goodbye to it! I mean, I want to check the shows with the members too. From now on I'll try to moderate myself a little (lol).
3. What if you had to say goodbye to the girl you like?
A situation where you have to part even if you both don't want to? In that case I'd tell her "I won't forget you even if we're far away". Well, I'm kidding of course (lol). Saying something like we'd only drag our feelings in vain. I'd prefer to break up because she doesn't love me anymore though...You must say goodbye saying clearly "I don't think we'll meet anymore so forget about me" because if you don't, you both won't be able to move on. There's also the possibility to break up and be friends but that's not a proper goodbye. If the reason was, for example, that she has to go abroad to study I'd say goodbye smiling telling her to work hard. Cherish the past or the future? My ideal is to keep the goodbye inside of you and say "See you!" smiling. In reality I'd say something like a "Thanks for everything"...in the end I'd drag the goodbye (lol).
[I understand what he means even if at first I thought he was being a little mean XD Ah~ It's so sad to think to such things~ That's why love is scary ><]
Tegoshi
1. What was your last "goodbye"?
Around 2 weeks ago somebody left me without saying a word. We've been together for so long, it was so mean...I'm talking about my ruby earring (lol). It happens a lot. I go to sleep with earrings on and I lose them. In one year I lost 4~5 of them. Just like my earrings, I usually go away without saying goodbye. I don't like to say "I'm leaving" when I'm with my friends and everybody is having great fun. That's why I just sneak out ♪ I go out saying "I'm going to the combini!" and instead I go home. When the others notice I'm not there I'm already home. But I do say them goodbye in my heart! (lol)
[I will never understand Japanese people leaving places like that when they're with friends LOL]
2. Is there something to which you'd like to say goodbye but you can't?
Basically I'm no good at throwing things away, so I tend to pile things up. I have a lot of things I don't use anymore. Especially soccer uniforms, they get renewed every season so every time I buy new ones. The league, the premium, series A, bundesliga...I have so many foreigner and Japanese uniforms in my closet. I give the old ones to my friends so that they don't go to waste. Another thing I can't throw away are the sunglasses I always buy in airports when I travel abroad (lol). I travel a lot so they're increasing more and more. Moreover often they're too showy for Japan so I can't use them much. I should stop buying them...
3. What if you had to say goodbye to the girl you like?
Can we pretend I'm talking of a girlfriend? And that I'm saying goodbye because I don't love her anymore? (lol) I'd like to have a break up where we keep being friends. That's why I'd feel the need to be clear about my feelings: "I'm sorry, my feelings are not anymore the ones of a boyfriend. If we keep dating you'll only get hurt so let's break up". Before that I'd be sure to make her notice that my feelings changed, so she would expect it. I'd meet her less, wouldn't answer her messages...I don't understand people who keep distances to clear things up. I understand that you can understand the importance of somebody being far from her. For me once the feelings got cold they can't go back to how they were before though. I'm like that, I don't like to drag things. Girls would think I'm awful, right? (lol) But listen! I'd want to be still friends because even if my feelings changed I'd still like her as person! We'd become little by little normal friends and one day we'd be able to laugh and talk about love again. That's my ideal.
[That's mean for real XD I mean, I agree with him on being honest in order to keep a good relationship...but if you wan't to be honest you should be since the beginning...being cold hoping that "the girl will understand" it's kinda contradictory, she would suffer a lot ><]
I'm again a little late with magazines...these last weeks before graduation have been a little busy, but soon I'll be officially unemployed so I guess I'll have more time on my hands orz
For the rest, I don't have big news~ In the last days I've been completely taken by Kanjani8's DVD 8EST and that's all lol
And I still haven't received my Senkou Scramble...so sad...I hope to get it this week ><
