The theme for this month was a "health check", so he was asked whether he was eating, if something healing had happened, if he's in love, if he did something fun recently, and if he was very happy recently.
Have you been eating?
Recently, I've been putting my spirit into muscle training a bit. Per the advice of the trainer I've been making drinks that will apparently build muscles every morning. It's made by combining low-fat milk, bananas, and protein in a mixer. That's it! (laughs). I also put coffee with it. Its minimized sweetness is good. At night, I try to limit my carbohydrate intake. For the time being, I'm doing something diet-like, but I can eat pretty much anything within the rules!
Has something healing happened recently?
I like sunglasses and accessories. I've accumulated vintage-style ones little by little, and my healing time is probably when I look at my collection at home. They're properly hung side by side in a showcase. It's like the ones in stores, with lights. At night, it lights up my room. The coolness of my collection has doubled (laughs). Even if I do say so myself, it has a pretty good feeling doesn't it? and while thinking that, I happily fall asleep. That's my daily routine.
Are you in love right now?
Right now, I'm crazy about fashionable things, so I have a tendency to change immediately. I'll buy things described as "this is a Hollywood actress' favourite!" in a blurb, for example. And recently, I bought a waterbottle that filters water, which celebrities seem to use. Though I haven't used it even once (laughs). What I want to try once is to go on a trip to Las Vegas. When I come back, someone asks "what did you do there?", and I'll stylishly reply, "I went to see a show" (laughs).
Have you had fun recently?
I've been going out with Hama-chan and Kotaki in private, and I've also been talking with my local friends, saying things like "where should we go for an overnight trip?". I've been doing a lot of things on my days off. Recently, I've been making precise plans. When my days off are determined, about a week in advance, I'll immediately decide for the day "I'll go see a movie" or "I'll take the opportunity to clean". After I've done that, I'll just idle around my house like "eh, it's already night time!?", and waste the remainder of my day off (laughs).
Have you felt very happy recently?
I'm on good terms with my friends from when I was in middle school, even now we meet to eat dinner together. We get excited talking about old stories, but it's always the same stories. I feel like I've told the story where when I was in middle school, I dropped the expensive sunglasses I bought in the river many times! (laughs) But I think it's a happy thing to have friends that will always laugh at the same stories. Even decades from now, everyone will probably still laugh at my sunglasses story (laughs).
