TegoPi
-During the last day of concerts you cosplayed as Tuxedo Mask and I was really surprised. What is the whole story behind it?
P: That wasn't me!
-Do you have some other cosplay you'd like to try?
P: No, I said that wasn't a cosplay (lol)! It was another person!
-Then, Tegoshi-san, it was the 2nd time you dress up as a girl. Which is the next costume you'd like to challenge?
T: The nurse!
-What are the cosplay you think would match with the other members?
P: But I would never ever cosplay!
T: Ok, Kei-chan as flight assistent, Ryo-kun as nurse. Massu...some animal costume, Shige a cheerleader. I want to see Yamashita-kun as an high school girl!
-With the jump on ItteQ you succeed in overcome the fear of high places?
T: No I didn't.
P: The jump was scary?
T: Yes, even for me who is usually dull. But I could feel something that you can understand only if you jump. For something like 3-4 seconds I felt like a bird.
-How did you lost weight for "Ashita no Joe"?
P: I did a lot of boxing. And I didn't eat too. It was harsh and sometimes it made me bitter but I did my best so I want everybody to see it.
-Tell us some backstage story about the recording of your new single Fighting Man.
T: I did the recording for the very last, it was nice to do the harmonic listening to the other members' voices.
P: We sang that having fun, excited and impulsive.
-About Fighting Man, against what are you fighting recently?
P: I have lots of temptations but I'm trying my best to not lose to myself.
T: I just bought a puppy. For the second time I'm thinking how hard it is to be a parent.
- (lol) Tell us an episode about Tinny-chan & Skull-kun then!
T: Tinny right now is staying at my parents' place but still she behaves like she's my girlfriend. Then now that I have a male dog, Skull, she's very jealous. When Skull is at home Tinny always comes to me. Like to say "He's mine", with very fighting eyes.
-Your concerts are over, what are your thought about the other members after those 1 year and 8 months?
T: I thing our bonds are really tight. I spend more time with Massu because of Tegomasu so we understand each other without the need of talking. Ryo-kun has not free time because of the movie and Kanjani8 but when he's working he always does it perfectly. Shige & Keii-chan are always ready to give us a lot of ideas and opinions during the rehearsal and the meetings. I really think that this tour was made thanks to them. When Yamashita-kun is concentrated he gives us a lot of concentration's strenght too. I think we all powered up in singing and dance.
P: I liked when a Sailor Moon that looked like Tegoshi appeared on stage. I'd like to say to Ryo-chan "Your guitar echoes in my heart", to Massu "Thank you for producing our costumes!", to Keii-chan "Did you get taller?", to Shige "Please tell me which book you found interesting recently". (lol)
-After so many time you spent time all together, there was something that surprised you about the members?
P: I really think that Koyama grew taller!
T: Massu is wearing weird glasses.
P: Ahahah I thought the same!
T: Actor's like glasses. I think I wouldn't have the courage to wear them (lol). Ryo-kun is full of work but his strong heart is never agitated.
-What do you do when you feel frustrated and want to cry?
P: I sleep and forget all.
T: I meet my friends. I can talk about the things that make me feel like that to my friends and family. When they listen to me I feel better.
-Which is your specialty song for karaoke?
P: NEWS Nippon
T: Koi no ABO
-What would you sing if you go together?
T: I can't sing it all alone but in two it'd be perfect. And everybody loves "Koi no ABO". I'm often said "Sing it!" and everybody get excited and dance it. It's a great song.
P: I'm ok also with singing alone. I'll get in immediately!
T: Such an entertainer!
P: It's only because I never remember my number in karaokes (lol).
Tinny-chan is sooo cute!! XDD
