PINKY Jan 2010 - Yamashita Tomohisa and Ikuta Toma (2/2)
The people at PINKY magazine sit down for an interview with Ikuta Toma and Yamashita Tomohisa.
In the future, let’s talk about our sons as fellow stubborn fathers.
Has there been a time when you said, “I hope this aspect of him never changes”?
Yamashita: For me, I hope Toma’s attitude towards his work doesn’t change.
Toma: For Yamashita, I think it’s the way he cherishes his fans. And there’s also the thoughtfulness towards his family. Although he’s had his fair share of being rebellious. (laughs) His mother came to talk to me at that time.
Yamashita: Uhahahahaha. (laughs)
Toma: You know, Yamashita’s mother has an incredible amount of trust in me.
Yamashita: He totally broke through the 200% trust level. There’s this feeling that if Toma is there, somehow things will be okay.
Toma: Having been through that rebellious period, (laughs) I think the way Yamashita cherishes his family now is great.
You two seem like you want to be fathers which look after the family in the future.
Yamashita: However, we’re gonna be strict towards our sons.
But on the other hand, you’ll be indulgent towards your daughters?
Yamashita: I don’t want daughters! The moment I think of the fact that she’ll become someone else’s bride, argh, I can’t stand it!
Toma: I get what you mean! When she becomes twenty, she’ll spend the rest of her life with another guy. When I think about it, it’s impossible.
Yamashita: That’s true. I don’t get it at all.
Toma: Isn’t that so? I’m definitely in the camp where I want sons.
Yamashita: Toma looks like he’ll be a strict daddy~
Toma: I will, without a doubt. In the future, let’s talk about our sons as fellow stubborn fathers.
Yamashita: Yes, we probably will.
You’ve become men who can talk to each other as adults, yes?
Toma: Should we have been talking to each other about fashion? Oh yes, it would be nice if girls wear scarves and such in winter.
Yamashita: I like clothes which has a nice texture to it. Like knitwear which has a comfortable touch.
Toma: Kinda, this conversation is reeaaally out of place here. (laughs)
Yamashita: That’s so true! (laughs)
