"Next time I'll treat you to teppan'yaki" [1]
DEAR Koyama
It's been 7 years since we got acquainted. We're always together, both at work and in private. It's like Koyama is family ne. Let's go have a meal together again!
-Kato Shigeaki
From Kato Shigeaki to Koyama Keiichiro, "thank you"
We're so close it's disgusting (laugh)!
First of all, thank you for being my friend this year too! Ever since Koyama entered the Jimusho and the groups were organized we've been always together. We've been together 7 years, so he's already family yo. Even with a normal friend, there's a time when you don't play anymore and such, isn't there. But, with Koyama it's natural we'd be together when with NEWS, moreover we're close in our private life too, it's disgusting yo ne (laugh).
When Koyama and I hang out, we'd have dinner, and then on the way home we'd also get ramen! We'd eat ramen at like 5 in the morning yo ne (laugh). Our conversations when we're together, maybe can't be considered conversations. They're only an exchange of silly lines. Like having fun doing lines from Kojima Yoshio san's [2] shows ne (laugh).
Thank you so much for listening!
At work, thank you for understanding the things that I wanted to do this year too. Since Koyama has a cooperative personality, first of all he listens to what you have to say yo ne. And, when the members had a meeting for our live event, it was Koyama who took on the "cushion" role naa. At times when members' opinions would clash, it was Koyama who would get in between and bring everything to a conclusion yo. Koyama is an adult yo ne, maa I as well am one (laugh).
And then, thank you for always giving me a lift home this year as well. When we'd hang out together, it's generally Koyama who would take me home with his car yo. maa, there are times when I'd give him a lift but, the number of times Koyama does it is greater. When I fawn on him to let to have him take me home, Koyama makes a disagreeable face, but he ends up driving me anyway (laugh). Thank you always!
Always thank you! From me as gratitude a promise in public!
Do we have the same wallet!?
There were times when it seemed we had the same wallet (laugh). Perhaps lately it's been mostly Koyama the one to treat. Next time, I'll be the one to treat you to delicious food. Teppan'yaki [1] sounds good ne!
Recent situation column: NEWS sticking out of bounds
I've turned into Sanshiro yo!
Because in the youth judo dorama "Sugata Sanshiro", which broadcasts on Dec.6, it was decided that I play the leading role, I'm doing my best in my judo practice yo!

[1] Teppan'yaki is a type of Japanese cuisine that uses an iron griddle to cook food. The word "teppan'yaki" is derived from teppan, which means iron plate, and yaki, which means grilled. In Japan, teppan'yaki may refer to any of a number of dishes cooked using a teppan, including okonomiyaki, yakisoba, and monjayaki, frequently with the hot plate located in the center of the diners' table. (source:
wikipedia).
[2] Kojima Yoshio is a Japanese comedian. His most famous line this year is, "sonna no kankeine~, oppappi-". This was mentioned by Massu while talking about Shige (
here). You can find some links regarding this at an old post of mine,
here.

note about the name:
Shige's name in hiragana is actually written as "Katou" rather than "Kato". I don't get the way Japanese people romanize their names *shrug*. Same goes for "Yuuya" and "Ryou". Was about to romanize it literally, but then figured I'd better not confuse people (since I think I did that a coupla times with Oohno XD). actually, they look better without the extra u XD
personal note:
What is up with those guys?! All they think of is food! They're all promising to treat each other to food. Not much imagination there yo.
Yay, I'm getting kinda faster at doing this and this time it only took me 30 mins to format, link, and comment ^^v Today I'd actually decided to post 2 pages, but I didn't get around to doing 2, gomen ^^; I want to finish this as soon as possible -i.e. before RL gets back to normal and I have 0 time for my fun stuff T_____T oh right, just for the fun of it, I'm going to uni tomorrow O________O "but, but... the gate is closed, isn't it?". Yes it is. But, special people have special keys yo ^^ actually, mine doesn't work anymore cuz I ain't so special anymore XD so I'll have a friend who is to blame for my going there before winter break is over open up for me ^^
