DUET 2010.12 - NEWS & CHANGES
KOYAMA
-Which was your favourite superhero when you were little?
"Kamen Rider - BLACK", I wanted to be strong and manly like him. Because when I was little I thought: "I can fly too, right?" (lol). I remember I always put on the Kamen Rider belt and pretend I could fly.
-In your life which is the moment of your biggest "transformation"?
Without doubts now! Starting to work with "News every." 4 months ago was the biggest point of change of my life. Before that I used to think that "changing" meant changing hairstyle but recently I realized that more than appereances is important an internal transformation. During the show I have to double-check what I say, I have many more responsabilities at work. Listening to what people tell me during the interviews, gathering many experiences, all this became one of my interests. I always bring with me a block notes and a pen, everything can be good for the interviews! (lol). I took notes also during the meetings for the concerts. Looking at me writing down the manager's speech Ryo-chan said: "What? If you don't write it you don't remember? (lol) Well, this is really admirable though". I'm happy that all the members are looking over this transformation of mine.
-Do you have some wish of changements lately?
If I could transform in somebody completely different, like with a magic, I'd turn into a girl and listen to girls talk (lol). I'm very interested in it, so much that I created a corner in my radio show where the listeners can send me some of their conversations at school or work (lol). Being a OL I could have lunch gossiping with my friends, it looks funny! Something like "Senpai is so cool!" or talking about a younger student "So cute!", isn't this very amusing? Girls seem more heartless in conversations so I'm very interested! (lol)
[That's so...LOL]
-Have you ever been surprised at another person's transformation?
Maybe the one of my friends who married and got children. Of course when you create your own family you change because of the many responsibilities. Of course we had less opportunities to see each other but they became so bright. When I see the cute children of my friends it makes me think "That's great, I want to get married too!". My mom had me when she was 24 so it wouldn't be that weird for me to have children too now that I'm 26, right!?
[Cute!! ><]
-Is a transformation possible for a girl?
Sure. Girls who are invited at marriages get their hair done and dress up. I like that fantastic mood they enter in those cases. Like using an hairstyle they don't usually show and getting all excited about clothes. And of course in front of this unusual vision boys are amazed. The thing that makes your heart beat the most is when around people she doesn't care about you, but when you're alone she turns into a sweet girl. I guess I'm pretty weak to this behaviour (lol).
[Poor Koyama, I can see him falling for girls anytime XD]
-In the future, in what kind of man you want to turn?
A man with guts and persuasion! "We can ask to him, he always knows everything" - I want to be this kind of man. My objective is to be like that enter the 30s. Persuasion is something that you can gain only with experience. I miss 4 yrs to turn 30 so I want to gather as many experience as possible. As for the appearances I want to look my age. I wish I could look a little more manly though (lol).
RYO
-Which was your favourite superhero when you were little?
I loved "Kamen Rider"! When I was at the kindergarten I had the helmet and the spinning belt. My favourite was the BLACK one and then the BLACK RX. I really wanted to be like him. I'd love to act as a superhero one day! If I do my best this may come true, right!? But all those action scenes...if I have to do them every week they'd be exhausting, so please, give me a part for a special or a simple appereance!! (lol)
[LOL]
-In your life which is the moment of your biggest "transformation"?
Around 15-16 years. I got taller, my Adam's napple came out, the voice got lower...Then, I don't want to sound weird but my nipples hurted! They were swollen and when I ran they really hurted! (T_T). It seems a very normal thing for guys who get taller quickly, my friends used band-aids too. At that age my face turned rough too. Maybe I got manlier? When I was little I had a face more pop and cute (lol). I changed my style when I was 17 too, I always dressed in black and dyed my hair blond. I played skateboard too...so different from now.
[I don't even.... no really, no comment XDD]
-Do you have some wish of changements lately?
I'm saying this since a lot of time, I want to be taller!! I'd want to be around 190cm. Too much? Ok, 189cm then (lol). If for only one day I could be another person I'd like to be Nagase-kun. He's tall and handsome. Was it 3 years ago? Once I met him for accident at Shibuya, Nagase-kun was riding a bike wearing a denim outfit and a bandana. At first I didn't recognize him and I thought "What a cool man!" and then I saw it was Nagase-kun! He was so cool that it was easy to see him (lol). But that it's a kind of look that only Nagase-kun can have. If I was tall 180cm too I'd have his same confidence too though (lol).
[ROTFL at Nagase biker-style!!]
-Have you ever been surprised at another person's transformation?
Tegoshi! Even though he used to be a energetic kid now he's more and more a Gal-boy (*Man who imitates girls). Completely, with his clothes and his blond hairstyle! I scolded him in person asking him "Are you a Gal-boy now!?" but he ignored me (lol). And then P, I guess. Before he got too thin but now he has a very nice body.
[He just said Tegoshi is some kind of transexual? *brb dying laughing*]
-Is a transformation possible for a girl?
Yes. When they use clothes they don't usually wear, when they change their make-up according to the place they are, their way of doing their best about this is cute. Personally though, I prefer simple make-up and style. It may be a clichè but I like when a girl who usually wear glasses and you suddenly see her with contact lenses, it's very fresh to see her face. Or when from long hair they have a short cut. There's something I'd like to ask, I always heard that to girls "Hair cut = Broken heart", is this true?
-In the future, in what kind of man you want to turn?
Nothing in particular. If when I'll be 20 yrs older I can turn to myself and think "I'm happy I'm this kind of man" it'll be ok.
[I approve this answer <3]
TEGOSHI
-Which was your favourite superhero when you were little?
I loved the anime "Rurouni Kenshin". He's not a real superhero but he was a guy who saved the world, he was so cool. I wanted to be an hero like him. During the sports festival I've been the leader of the cheer party, the anchor of relay, the first on piggyback fight, I always did my best. Kenshin's line was "You can withstand any pain if you have the mental strenght to overcome it", it gave me a lot of courage. When I hurted myself or had to get injections I always thought "My heart won't be bent down!" (lol).
[What a zen little kid!! XD]
-In your life which is the moment of your biggest "transformation"?
Maybe when I entered 3 years ago the cast of "ItteQ". My aim with the staff and the co-stars was "Let's create an interesting show!", I researched a lot for it and it became my motive to mature. Thanks to the show I've been able to know many different worlds, I think this helped to build up who I am now. When people in streets ask me "Are you Tegoshi-kun from ItteQ?" it makes me think: "I have to work even harder for all these people who love the show!".
-Do you have some wish of changements lately?
No, but if I could be a different person I'd want to be Messi from FC Barcellona and play at the soccer world cup (lol). When Messi entered the team there was another star, Ronaldihno. Without passing the ball to him and dribbling Messi showed his strenght, I thought it was amazing. Thanks to the confidence in his dribbling he could score without bothering the other players, he was so cool!
-Have you ever been surprised at another person's transformation?
I was amazed by the transformation of Keii-chan after "News every."! (lol). He dyed his hair black but not only his appereances changed, he's also always reading newspapers in the dressing room...He became intellectual and eloquent, I think it's amazing! On the opposite I'd like to see a transformation in Shige. Since I've known him I never ever thought that we have the same age. I've heard he's pickling things now, what, he already became a granpa!? (lol). Fishing and being interested in movies is nice but wouldn't it be better if he becomes more active and showy?
[It's not your matter U_U my hubby can do whatever he wants U_U]
-Is a transformation possible for a girl?
Of course it is! They say that girls become prettier when they're in love, right? This is really true. I've been cupid for a couple of friends and they became really cute. Seeing them so in love made me happy.
-In the future, in what kind of man you want to turn?
From now on, I want to be a man who can realize his own dreams. I thought that I wanted concerts to make people listen to my voice and I've got the Tegomasu tour. My next aim is to be in a soccer show. I want this to come true for the world cup in Brasil in 4 years. Even if it won't happen, I'll go in Brasil by myself! (lol)
SHIGE
-Which was your favourite superhero when you were little?
I liked "Kamen Rider Amazon" and "The mutant turtles". I remember I had their toys. I like superheros as well now, just 2 years ago I bought without thinking the DVD-box of "Ultraseven". A work of more than 40 years ago! I got pretty passionate to the story. The alien enemy turns into a woman of the main character world and every time he tries to invade the world with any measure, it was amusing.
[I loved "The mutant turtles" so much when I was little too!!! *____* Shige, my little nerd <3]
-In your life which is the moment of your biggest "transformation"?
I always change from what I was before when a work is over, dramas or concerts for example, I constantly have turning points...I changed the most when I became a university student. Under the influence of new friends my way of thinking and my hobbies changed. It was then that I met a friend who loved movies and I started to watch many of them. Since then it was easy to flow with the surrounding common point of view but, meeting my friends, I wanted to start searching for the real "myself" too.
[I approve this answer <3 I think it happened to me too with university, like being more aware of who you are/want to be]
-Do you have some wish of changements lately?
If I could transform in a completely different person I'd like to be only for a while Tegoshi. Because Tegoshi is my perfect opposite (lol). If I have free time I read a book, watch movies and enjoy some time all by myself. Tegoshi instead goes out to play soccer with friends, he's always a very active boy, right? I never experienced club activities but I've always wanted to be passionate playing sports with friends (lol).
[Tegoshi vs Shige]
-Have you ever been surprised at another person's transformation?
I've always thought that life is short, so there can't be really violent transformation in people, but I was really amazed by Koyama after he started working at "News every.". Like: "So people can really change that much!!" (lol). Everyday he reads the newspapers, this was something impossible for the previous Koyama (lol). Lately we watched together the news shows and he gave a lot of comments, if you ask him about the world news he's very informed. He said that "he never studied that much in all his life", he's doing his best and I think it's great. I respect him a lot.
[Nyaaaaaa *//*]
-Is a transformation possible for a girl?
It is. 6 months ago I partecipated to a reunion with my middle schoolmates, the girls became all so pretty, I was surprised. They all became so much more mature from what I remembered. Of course it was also thanks to the make-up that they turned so adult-like and sexy. Girls who want to change their appereances and do their best for it are wonderful. I'd love them all to become even more pretty!
[Ehm...I guess the girls wanted to be over-pretty knowing that their ex-classmate-now-handsome-idol was there =_= *jealousy*]
-In the future, in what kind of man you want to turn?
I want to be a more honest man (lol). Because I have the habit to always think in a logical way. My friend told me: "You always think too much, you should behave more naturally for once", I think he was right. It's not in my character but I'd like to be able to say passionately, without a reason, something like: "I don't know why but I like you!!" (lol).
[*///* *dies flailing*]
MASSU
-Which was your favourite superhero when you were little?
No matter who, the important was that he wore red clothes (lol). I also loved the squadron. In particular the red one! Another hero was my senpai from the basket team of the middle school. He was in the 3rd class when I was in 1st, he was good in everything. Everything he did was perfect!! He was so sparkly in matches like in practice. He was my school hero for boys and girls.
-In your life which is the moment of your biggest "transformation"?
I have tons of picture of when I was little and my mom made me wear a red t-shirt, I loved to do the transformation pose of my favourite superhero (bitter smile). But then when I watched those pics I cried a lot: "It's not like this!! I look so uncool!"...this is the story of my real transformation (lol). Ok, seriously...let me see, the transformation of my fashion sense started when I was in the 6th year of elementary school. My mom bought me some used chino and a sweat shirt, I loved them. This is when I've know the fun of choosing clothes, sizes and the coolness of old styles.
[LOL just LOL]
-Do you have some wish of changements lately?
None. Even when people praise me for the imitation of somebody I'm not happy. I always thought: "Why can't I be happy with it?" but lately I found my reasons. It's because I want to be myself. That's why I never think "I want to be like him". The only transformation I want is an evolution of myself. Like an art-make and dye myself in blue or black. I can melt into "art"!
[Erm...yeah?]
-Have you ever been surprised at another person's transformation?
Mostly about the members' hairstyles. But it never happens that somebody changes too much to be surprised with it. Watching the magazines of 2-3 years ago with us I was surprised: "Ehh, he had that hairstyle then?". Also recently I was watching some old mags and I saw Koyama with very bright light brown hair and Tegoshi with long hair. Of course I get surprised also by my own hairstyles (lol). But this is more a change than a transformation.
[It's always nice to see Massu ruining a serious interview LOL]
-Is a transformation possible for a girl?
Of course! They say that boys are weak over gaps but I notice more the choice of clothes. For example, if today she's wearing precise clothes but the next day she wears girlish clothes, it makes me startle: "So she can wear things like this too!". Then I wonder what kind of clothes she'll wear and I start to be interested in her.
-In the future, in what kind of man you want to turn?
I want to become a very active man! For work I climbed the Fuji with Nakamaru-kun and it was super funny! My first mountain was the Fuji and I went on despite the mountain sickness. The scenary from it was amazing, it was the first time I saw something like that. Even though it happened few months ago I can't wait to do that again. Until I won't be called "The Fuji chara - Masuda Takahisa" I'll go on climbing the Fuji!
YAMAPI
-Which was your favourite superhero when you were little?
"Kamen Rider BLACK RX". I loved him. I also watched the squadron but Kamen Rider was the coolest. I wanted to be a Kamer Rider (lol). After I requested it many times my mom bought me, maybe for my birthday, the transformation belt. I remember that I always wore it watching the tv and imitating the pose. I had 3-4 years and weirdly I don't remember anything else except this, only the transformation thing. Maybe it was my favourite pose.
-In your life which is the moment of your biggest "transformation"?
The time when I did really my best to change was when I was 3-4 yrs old and tried to transform in Kamen Rider, isn't it? (lol). I think I grew up the most during the 1-2 year of middle school. That time I grew taller of 15cm! The pants became shorter, suddenly I couldn't wear anymore all my clothes. I remember I was acting for my first drama and I measured the clothes for it, when it was over they were already little!
-Do you have some wish of changements lately?
Transformation, maybe? Of course Kamen Rider (lol). If it's him I would like to transform. Really. Because he's the hero that helped me in dreaming. Then with the actual special effects the CG of Kamen Rider is pretty cool. Recently I'm never able to wake up early on Sundays so I couldn't see the show at all (lol). Another one who come into my mind is Tokugawa Ieyasu. A great person. He unificated the country and then he reigned for a long time over Edo era. Ah, but I don't want to be him. I don't want to change. I'm ok with myself.
[Yamapi & Kamen Rider are just LOVE <3 Me & my nerd friend were talking just 2 days ago how amazing would be for Yamapi to star into Kamen Rider drama XDD]
-Have you ever been surprised at another person's transformation?
The day that the 2nd semester of elementary school started after the summer holidays, I saw one of my friend who got really taller and tanned, I was so surprised. Summer holidays are only 1 month but when you're a kind is a very long time to change. Eh? I should talk about the members? Uhm...Ah! Shige! Everybody told him to cut his hair. In reality I thought that the best for him was to do what he wanted to but in the end maybe it's better now that he cut them (lol). Actually recently I told him: "To me the best Shige was the one with short and blond hair" but he kinda ignored me "Yes, yes".
[I love Shige with that style too!! Shige, don't ignore Yamapi next time, ok? XD]
-Is a transformation possible for a girl?
Absolutely yes. Image changes are good to me. Like the colour of hair. When they pass quickly from black hair to brown it's nice.
-In the future, in what kind of man you want to turn?
More than transform myself I want to evolve. I want to be a person known by many people around the world. I want to have big dreams. And then, I want to transform in Kamen Rider (lol).
[Great answer. Period.]
