Kazuya Kamenashi
What's a new delicious discorver you've recently made?
The grilled lamb I ate at my favourite Italian restaurant. I usually go for beef and stuff like that, but this time I tried to challenge myself and eat that. I've once again discovered how tasty lamb is.
What's your latest "first"?
Activities as a fan. I myself have always been the one who got fans, right? So I told myself how it would be to also try to enjoy doing such things too. I got to the area where I also buy goods or where I'm thinking of entering a fanclub too. Life as a fan is fun! /laugh/
What's a new discovery you've made of yourself recently?
I can sleep a lot. When I got sick some time ago, I though "I can sleep this much", and slept a whole day.
What new entertainment have you experienced lately?
Pleasure cruise. It's not an easy entertainment, but lately I'm taking time to fully enjoy trying to go down some new different paths, or enjoy different angles and pleasure cruise is one of these things. I wanted to try to see the sceneries I normally see from land from a different perspective.
What goals have you set now?
An average 80 stroke. I'm talking about golf. I've always loved it, but recently I've especially been playing it, as I have been able to find time to go to the golf course. My best score is 90 for now, so I'd like to be able to get an 80 average.
What's something that has surprised you about evolutions in the world?
The other day I went to a family restaurant-kind of place and a robot served me food. The robot's body part opened and it told me "Please, do take it". I was surprised, and went like: "What's this?!".
What's a work you've recently done that has left a deep impression on you?
An interview with "Sasachō Jōzō"-san, which makes my favourite mentsuyu (T/N: noodle soup), and an interview with Nemoto Yuma-kun, golf super -player- who's in junior high schools. I'd really like to be able to do interviews about golf, as well as baseball during this year's off season in 「Going!」.
What is something you want to do "from zero to one" (T/N: zero kara ichi e)?
Draw shot (T/N: in golf). At the moment, I'm mainly practicing how to hit a ball straight, but I want to be able to also hit balls that turn right or left. At the moment, I have golf on my mind most of the time /laugh/.
Tatsuya Ueda
What's something new you've learnt recently?
It looks like an illnesses' period comes from teeth. I've never had any cavities, so I've never really paid attention to teeth, but this made me think I have to be more careful.
What new things did you get from your boxing match with the boxer Nasukawa Tenshin (T/N: the boxer he had a match with on Honoo no Taiikukai on August 20th)?
I once again thought that he's amazing, a professional among professionals. Usually, I practice with a(?) world champion, and I(?) hit to the face every time. So, I had quite some confidence for the show too; however I thought "How is it that I couldn’t hit him?!".
What's some new discovery you've made about yourself?
Driving the car for a long time isn't troubling. Somehow, that's something I always felt in the past, but I was totally fine when I drove for about 5~6 hours.
What's a revolutionary item you've recently bought?
Stairs for my dog. My dog's legs aren't that good, so she can't really jump from the ground and get on my bed. She can get off it by herself, but, since she can't jump on my bed, she wakes me up in the middle of the night many times. But, ever since I bought those stairs, that was solved right away. That's groundbreaking!
What new entertainment have you experienced lately?
Lately, I've started watching Korean drama, although it's something I already did quite some time ago too. Before that, I only watched Hollywood style things or Japanese productions, but, when I first watched "Squid Game", I thought it was interesting and since then I started watching various things. Each episode is long, but they're interesting so time goes by pretty fast.
What goals have you set now?
If I should make a life a life plan. I'll be 40 next year, so I think I have to make something about what kind of life I want to lead. I don't think it's good to just kind of do things -as they come- in the future.
What's something of yourself you feel has evolved?
For example, when I went to watch my kouhai's concerts, I started to look at it from a producer's perspective; or rather, I started to think things like "Maybe, doing it like this would be better". I would also tell my kouhai about the things I thought. I don't really know if that's an evolution or what, but I think that's something "Acquired with career".
What is something you want to do "from zero to one"?
My house's interiors. I want to be a bit better at balancing the hues in my house and the size of things.
Yuichi Nakamaru
What's a new delicious discorver you've recently made?
Edamame (green soybeans). I ate some very fresh and expensive ones with branches, they're called hanetsuki edamame, and that made me think again of how tasty they are.
What's something new you've learnt recently?
The acai in acai bowls is 95% seeds. The parts you can eat are actually just a few.
What's something new that you felt through 「24 jikan terebi」?
As expected, that would be tv's greatness. Even though the internet is popular, I think only tv can make such events on a scale which can involve the whole Japan.
What's some new discovery you've made about yourself?
That I'm more of a futon kind of person, rather than bed. I've always thought that Futon are good, so I've become more comfortable about buying one and lately I've been sleeping on futon only. It's almost always spread in my living room /laugh/.
What is occupying your mind at the moment?
Manga. Right now, I'm at the 15th chapter, as for the pages I've drawn so far, they're about 150 now. By the way, I've already finished the last chapter.
What's a revolutionary item you've recently bought?
Échiré butter. I ate crêpes made with Échiré butter on a tv show and they were absolutely delicious. I thought I should try to make them too and recreate them at home.
What's a spot that has moved you among the places you've recently visited?
Aomori. During "Asa da! Nama desu tabi sarada"'s breaks, I was taken to the place where they hold Nebuta Matsuri's Nebuta (T/N: the float of a warrior figure), and I was shown the valuable ones before they got coloured.
What new entertainment have you experienced lately?
I don't really know if it's entertainment, but I'd say that'd be a system which automatically produces pictures by AI. It's something really accurate right now, and it's making a lot of stuff.
Who is a person you're happy you could meet recently?
Kimura Fumino-san. She made an appearance on "Kaji yarou". I've known her since we acted together in "Henshin Interviewer no Yuutsu" in 2013. I was happy to talk to her after so long.
What is something you want to do "from zero to one"?
I think I'm gonna say "manga" for this one too... /laugh/. Zero because I haven't published it as a volume yet, and one when I can finally publish it. Actually, I wanted to publish it this year, but I don't think I can make it in time. I really want to publish it as soon as possible.
So, here's a little something I just finished. Since I found it interesting to read, I thought to just translate and share KAT-TUN's q&a part with you all~
Enjoy it 💗💙💜
