The theme for the interview was weather, because the rainy season in Japan had arrived. (interview was done mid-May)
A note, sunny man= someone who makes the sun come out when he appears, rainy man = someone who makes the rain come out when he appears
Q. An event that recently made your heart sunny?
The tour has been finished in Yokohama and Nagoya. When we had performances twice a day, because I'd already put out my strength the first time, the second time both of my legs were complaining like "no more." But when we come out on stage we can hear everyone's cheers. As soon as I heard those voices, every part of me that was tired became sunny.
Q. "What man" do you think you are?
Cloudy man. Locations for example are mostly cloudy. Even in that won't it rain? weather, it doesn't become extremely rainy, but it also doesn't become sunny.
Q. What kind of weather would you compare your mood to right now?
Sunny. When I came to this studio, I had extremely high tension right? There's no specific reason though.
Q. On the day of your date, it suddenly rains! What kind of plan would you do?
We'll go on a drive, and go to a delicious restaurant for lunch. After that... things that can be done indoors... aquarium or movies? We'll go where she wants to go. After that, shopping. There would be a budget for the scheduled date if it was sunny, such as amusement park entrance fees right? Like "because today I'd planned to spend ____, I'll buy something for her in that amount," I'll probably buy something she wants.
Q. Think of a way to enjoy the rainy season:
There's nothing! But if I have to say something, I guess I'd go on a drive alone. When it comes to driving in the rain, I don't hate it that much. Driving in the rain then. While listening to the sound of the rain, I'll stop by a coffee shop drive through, then drive slowly. In the car I listen to calm Western music. My music player is divided by genre for every situation such as "before sleeping" and "when I go to Hawaii some day," there's also a "rainy day" version. I'll probably become really relaxed while I listen to those songs.
Q. Think of a recent event:
Because of the tour I went back to my hometown, for the time being I wanted to go to the gym. To gain some form, I started to go during the tour, but right now I'm addicted to wanting to go if I have the time. Because I'm intensely doing muscle training, I think everyone can see the effect.
