Duet 2015.08: Kamiyama Tomohiro
Note that I am self-taught, and not a native Japanese speaker. There may be errors. Feel free to share, but please don’t claim this as your own translation. Corrections are welcome.
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.
(this was already translated by yamazakey44 here, I got the okay from her to post my translation; I only asked because I'd already finished this by the time she posted hers. as you can see I backposted these so they would be slightly harder to find, because I'd prefer people read what was posted first)
A plan that I've made so far
I'm the type that goes according to a plan. But, I'm also the type that easily goes from following a plan to playing in the end. For example, when I was a child, I made a plan before summer vacation started. By dividing my homework up by subject, I would do __ pages respectively per day, and could easily finish. But when break started, my grandpa took me out to play every day. Because I was having fun, my homework was forgotten. But I went to a lot of places, so my picture diary had a lot of stories (laughs).
A plan that's recently been carried out
I wanted to make a song. So far, while playing the guitar, a phrase will come to mind and I'll make a note of it; I keep doing the sections like that. Then, thinking I could properly complete a song within about a month, I'm putting effort into finishing it. I loop this rough melody I made in my head while thinking absently. When I get a new idea I put it the music software on my computer. Then, when I've hit my limit, I can't do it anymore!, and I become focused, then I think again... it repeats like this. The 2 hours it takes on the shinkansen between Tokyo and Osaka are when I can focus the most, at that time I'm already looking at the computer with a desperate expression (laughs). I'm still making it, but it'll be nice to show it off to everyone when I'm finished.
Something that you're secretly planning now
I've been changing my hairstyle frequently, but next I want to grow my bangs out so they cover my eyes. Up until now I've done brown and red hair for example, as well as flashy colours, but eventually, I finally realized I'm not good at keeping a colour. For that reason, I'm going to continue having blond hair for a while!
Your ideal summer plan
I want to conquer all 47 prefectures. Though I probably have an image of having been to a lot of places from tours, there are a lot of cities that I haven't been to. Though a private trip is also okay, it would be best to go around doing concerts like Kanjani∞-san! In that case, if it was limited to the summer, it seems it'd be tough, because we'd be travelling every day, so how about we do it over the course of a year? (laughs)
