KAT-TUN PINCH
This month interview's theme is "Pinch". The moment when (a person) feels "yabai!" and the secret to overcome a "Pinch"; questions regarding "Pinch". Now, KT's member's pinch moment?
The most "yabai" moment you've experienced in your life so far?
Falling down from the stage doing back-flip when I was a junior. The moment when I fell, I didn't think of it as "yabai" until the very next day when it finally hit me "(my body) hurts! Yabai!" (Laugh)
Will it show on your face when (you are) in a "pinch"?
There are times when it shows and times when it doesn't. It's evident when (I say/ feel) "Argh... Impossible!!!", and when the adrenalin won't rush out, "Impossible! Impossible!" would be written all over my face. Conversely, when I had my adrenalin pumped up, I would be able to conceal it completely. During our LIVE (concert), when mistake happens, like a costume miss or any trivial miss, I am pretty sure that I would be able to hide it well. Because I would be completely taken over by adrenalin and instead feeling "This suits me! (the wrong costume)" (Laugh)
Kamenashi's secret to overcome a "pinch"?
Be positive. Doing that, your behavior will change. It's also important to be calm. First, only after you feel calm will enable you to think positively. For some people, thinking positive (first) will help them calm down. For example when in an argument (and say/thinking) "What The...!" (1), then I would start thinking (to myself) "Un, this person is a child. a kid, a kid!" (laugh). In my case, I am perhaps synchronize both calm and positive (mindset).
No. 1 thing that will give you courage.
People and their eyes. My power increases when doing something "for other people", rather than "for myself". (I wonder) in what kind of situation...? (I think) Even within an adversary, there exists a greater good. Say for example, I am in a pinch, but I manage to take out my power even more so than when I am in a normal situation. Although there are times when I let go/give up (and thinking) "ah...this far is enough" (laugh).
Current news
Just 11 hrs ago I finished the dorama shooting! (the interview is conducted in mid-march) it has yet to be aired, and it might not be the perfect ending; there's this feeling of blank/shock inside me...this emotion somehow (make me) feel lonely, though I can't really understand my feeling well enough (right now). For the past half year, my feeling is completely wrapped in the (drama) script. Now after living this role, (and wonder) "as the Kamenashi Kazuya's time gets longer, how does it feel?"(2); it makes me go doki doki (laugh). From April [Going Sports&News] job will start, because I has yet worked with people in this area much, I cant at all imagine how things are going to turn out (laugh). I'm planning to properly convey my personal experiences in order to bring out the fun of baseball. Also my Lamdash shaver CM is out. This is my first time having a shower scene on TV. For this, I had to challenge myself to fast for 2 days, resulting in a much better shape for shooting, Lamdash CM is targeted towards the male, I wish the readers (of this magazine) will also see it.
(Extra) Uchi Hiroki's WU:
(I am ) constantly indecisive ne; that makes me unpopular with girls (laugh). For example during the first date, I (actually) want to decide everything for my partner. But because I can't come up with any idea, it turned out to be not good. (I think) Inviting (a partner) in a french style would be good (3)....(laugh). Well, when talking about food I crave? Seriously, since I am craving for Kame's pasta, I will head to his house (laugh).The other day, I said "I'm hungry...", he immediately made me (pasta). It was really delicious. Kame is really kind. Though I have long thought of him as a great guy, working together in the drama [Yamato Nadeshiko] now makes me like him even much more. We have a similar way of thinking. If Kame turns into a girl, I would love him to be my girlfriend (laugh). (Oh Uchi... *___*)
***Uchi was in SCP last Friday 05/21 (18:00pm starts) and Kame commented through VTR. :)
TN:
(1) Mukatsuku literally means to feel sick, to feel offended, to feel angry. It is frequently used to express anger to make sure your counterparts know that you are angry at him/her/them. But we decided to translate it as it is just to make the flow felt a bit smoother.
(2) This part is a bit confusing. We assume here Kame means that after living as Kyouhei mostly (and hence has limited time living as Kamenashi Kazuya) for so long, he wondered how does it will feel when he has to come back as himself once again and let go of his emotion as Kyouhei.
(3) We assume that Uchi wants to be more suave at taking his date like a frenchman? If anyone has a better translation for this part, please let us know ^^;
