Duet 2015.08: Kiriyama Akito

The theme this month was plans. He talked about a plan he's made so far, a plan he's currently doing, a plan he's secretly doing, and his ideal summer plan.

A plan that I've made so far
Basically, I'm weak at planning (laughs). If something comes up, I'm the type that suddenly does it without thinking. Even when I play with my hometown friends, I'll promise "well, I'll pick you up at home then" which is fine, but we didn't decide on a time. I don't know what time is good to go, so during those times, when I wake up in the morning, I send them a "are you awake?" message. When they send a reply saying they're awake, I get ready, and we go have fun. Also, when I did my picture diary for summer homework in elementary school, I did it around my birthday, the 31st of August. So, I have mostly lived without a plan (laughs).
A plan that's recently been carried out
Speaking of plans I've always wanted to do, recently one of them has finally been realized. The other day, I had a takoyaki party with Takaki Yuya. Over the last three months or so Yuya and I have been talking about "let's do a takoyaki party," however because there happened to be a convenient day we could do it, alright let's do it! we said. We did it at Yuya's house, but unbelievably, Yuya had an iron plate for takoyaki (laughs). I thought the person in charge of cooking them would be me, who's from Osaka, but unexpectedly it was Nakayama Masei-kun, who co-starred with us in "Gokusen." Because he's older than us, I thought it was bad if we didn't let him do it. Yuya and I didn't cook; we just talked while eating (laughs).
Something that you're secretly planning now
The interior of my room is blue and white and I want my room to have more of a marine image, so I'm searching for a picture of an ocean or a surfboard to decorate my room. I pursued an artist who drew on a surfboard, though their work is really cool, the price is really high so I definitely can't buy it! Maybe it's better if I paint it myself!?
Your ideal summer plan
I want to do a summer festival with WEST! I want to do a live on an open-air stage while shooting water at the guests. I love outdoor events. Before, when we went to go have fun in Yokohama, I discovered something that seemed like an event outside. Though I don't really know what they were doing, because it seemed fun anyway, I'd love to participate in something like that.
