Myojo 2009.05 Koichi scans Translations
Thank you ladyxenax for finding me the scans!
Again, Questions in Black, Koichi's answers in Red. My own insignificant comments in Pink. ♥
Yamada Ryosuke: The Koichi-kun that appears in variety shows and the Koichi-kun that appears on theater stage, which is one is closer to the real you? On variety shows, you always take on the role where you are being bullied and ridiculed. But on stage, you are so cool. Those are two extreme opposites. Which one is a result of your acting skills? When I think about this, I feel touched. I really like the Koichi-kun that is on stage, not only because you are cool, but because this cool you is totally different from the fun you that is presented on variety shows... anyway, I really respect you. (Nicole: This Yamada kid is reeeeaaaaaalllly fangirling and sucking up to Koichi. Shoooo shooo, go away, Koichi-kun is mine!)
Koichi: I have never thought about which one is closer the the real me. Depending on the job scope, I carry out actions that are suited to the circumstances. Theater stage is unlike a variety show, where I have to exaggerate my actions and maintain the atmosphere. On the other hand, if my serious demeanor on stage is transported to television shows, then it will become totally uninteresting. On the subject, why am I always taking up a comical role in variety shows? That is because I am those type that doesn't talk much usually, but because I need to make the variety show interesting, I started taking up that kind of role. (Nicole: Koichi-kun, your answer is soooo serious it's putting me to sleep, and you are totally not reciprocating your Kouhai's love dayo!)
Aiba Masaki: Because you are my senpai, it's very hard for me to say this... but, there are too many emails that I don't get the meaning of (laugh). How should I reply them? Although, recently, I haven't been getting your emails at all, I am feeling a little lonely. (Nicole: Kou-chan! Loving Aiba is awesome, but please remember to email Tsuyoshi (and me)! That is more important!!)
Koichi: Muahahaaha! You are right! I did sent out a lot of emails that has no clear content~ that's alright. No, it's not that I needed any response from Aiba. If I have nothing going on for me, I won't send out any emails. In any case, find some reason, send me an email, Aiba! (laugh). (Nicole: Heart... little fluttering heart...)
Takizawa Hideaki: It has been a while since we exchanged our email address and mobile number, however, in this entire year, we haven't even contacted each other once (laugh). Koichi-kun, I am also those kind of person who would not actively try to contact another person, I do understand this, but this year, can we try to seriously stay in contact. What do you think?
Koichi: Anyway, please send an email over first! (laugh) I am waiting for you too. (Nicole: Awww..Takki is not loved. *sad*)
Ohkura Tadayoshi: While performing ENDLESS SHOCK with Koichi-kun (2008, Jan), there was a dance step where I had to turn in circles, and I wasn't able to do it well. Looking at the depressed me, you said, "you can do it like this!", and taught me personally how to do the circling. At that time, Koichi-kun was the lead again, and there were many performances. Many of the dance steps had major changes as well, even though Koichi-kun was probably having a hard time yourself, (you still took time off to teach me)... you are really a thoughtful person. I haven't seen you since then, please take me out for a meal once again.
Koichi: Thinking about it, (Ohkura) is in Kyoto now? If you are in Tokyo, please contact me. (Nicole: What is Ohkura doing in Kyoto? Koichi seriously should learn how to return his kouhai's love a little. What short replies... oh well, translator is happy with short replies.)
Nakamaru Yuichi: Hello! I haven't seen you for a while, it's me, Nakamaru. Have you been gaming recently? Recently, I really like the game [Metal gear solid 4], if possible, do you want to come online and have a challenge? No no ~~~ please do not force yourself. If someday you feel like "oh, maybe I should give it a try", please do remember to tell me. (Note: Hear Koki talking in the background, "What? You really want to beat up Koichi-kun so badly?" No No, Nothing of that sort ,as ally, an ally. I want to protect him! I will use my body to protect him even if it kills me! I will do my best, please come play. )
Koichi: Eh... I am sorry, I am currently playing some other game. I am sorry, Nakamaru. ( Nicole: Koichi!! LOVE! SHOW SOME LOVE!)
Yamashita Tomohisa: Up till now, I believe you have already been asked this in interviews, but please pretend you have never heard this question before, and let me ask you again. What is your favorite time of the day? For me it's around 2 am in the morning.
Koichi: Ohh~~ we are so similar ~ for me, it's also around 1 am to 4 am. That is when I finally get off work, and have my own time. My own golden time. (Nicole: Everyone loves the quiet...)
And then there are 2 other reader questions that I am not interested to translate, one asking Kou-chan if he's scared of being alone in the dark. And another asking Koichi about theory of relativity, and Kouchan's reply has some Newton... some stuff inside.. Yes, I didn't read it. LOL. Argh. I know, I shouldn't be doing this PhD. XD. I still love you Koichi! Ok, translated the requested one, just don't make me do the newton one. I will die of boredom.XD
Reader: My question for Domoto Koichi-san. For me, when it comes to night time, if I see places where all the lights are switched off, like the school for example, I start feeling very scared, although I don't really know why. Koichi-san, do you have anything you fear that is without reason as well?
Koichi: Not really... oh~but, when I am in the bathroom taking a bath, and if the song "kagome...kagome" suddenly comes to mind (for what kagome is see here), I will feel scared. I mean who's really behind you!? (Nicole: This line, you have to go read the wiki entry I linked to understand). (laugh). Also, lyrics "the crane and the turtle slipped and fell" seems to be hinting at something weird happening... scary!! (Nicole's Note: Lyrics for this Kagome game goes likes this: かごめかごめ 篭の中の鳥は, いついつ出やる 夜明けの晩に, 鶴と亀と滑った, 後ろの正面だあれ。Kagome, Kagome, the bird in the cage, when will you come out? In the evening of the dawn,the crane and turtle slipped. Who stands right behind you now?... Erh... Honestly, I see nothing scary, I think Koichi just needs some love and protection from me. XD)
