AnAn magazine ~ Kamenashi Kazuya (translation)
Hey again <3
I've finally managed to finish the article after a looooong exam of Japanese >____< and here I am, sharing the rest of it, as promised XDD I must thank my friends for offering me a laptop and time to do it lol Sankyuuuu, babies~~ <3
Anyway, I must highlight that Kame is a cutie with some weird-mysterious ideas at times, but definitely the cutest one alive <3
And, and, and, annnnnnnnnnnd.... as many of you might have seen, there have been a lot of quoting or something like this, saying that Kame said in AnAn that for him "there are no boundaries between men and women". I must tell you, he doesn't mention anyting of sort and he only talks about make-up and why he uses it ^^ sorry I doubted you, baby *gets shot*
My translations might not be the best, but I hope you enjoy them nevertheless ^^;;
Have fun and fall in love with Kazuya again~

A shocking before and after with a full loaded illustration
A sudden change with make-up
Make-up is the approach towards your approving self
"Wearing make-up, one's personality will change, no? If it's me, it's easier to do so because I'm the type which can insert a switch easily."
This was Kamenashi Kazuya saying these words, who was enjoying a dramatic change with a fashionable and beautiful feminine make-up.
This sort of beauty (t/n: of the make-up) is often mistaken for the one used in foreign collection which super-models tend to play around with.*
In any case, during break-time from the photoshoot, Kamenashi Kazuya-san said on a rather muttering voice "It makes me want to embrace them" while personally checked the photos on the monitor.
"Of course, it's always the feeling I want to embrace, right? But because the girl is giving off an aura of knowing everything, she turns into a complete senpai. This type of people I feel like I want to embrace them."
While saying this, in the same time - "Affording such luxury (t/n: to be a complete senpai), isn't great to be strong, not giving in without a fight?" and then with a teasing laugh - "During presentation, I wish also to show femininity and masculinity." He added something so Kamenashi-san like.
Regarding this matter, recently Kamenashi-san has been particularly beautiful. Going with a David Bowie sense in "Youkai Ningen Bemu" where lingers the visual grief and, of course, when camera rolls on the stage of Sport & News, even if it's a gaze, hasn't been a soft light overflowing?**
"You know, there aren't many who would call me "cool". I think that there are more people who would call me "beautiful", even the persons from the drama set I'm doing. Why is that, I wonder? Maybe because my eyebrows are thin? Or maybe because I have a girly face?"
No, even with a beautiful appearance like yours, now, Kamenashi-san strongly gives off a natural aura and expresses a certain light.
"Aa... keeping in mind that it's work, I want everything to have a good feeling. With KAT-TUN too, we've done a lot, but when it comes to the group's base, is definitely becoming a reliable one. Bearing such meanings, as Kamenashi Kazuya, I want to shake off the feeling of having no limits. "I want to make KAT-TUN to be known more!"; ”I want to sell Kamenashi Kazuya!" (t/n: refers to his image) such things have a sensation of our debut time, no?"1
To such a man, a way to switch into work-mode is make-up.
"Basically, if it's not for work, I don't look in the mirror. Because, I don't have an interest in my everyday face. That's why, in the hour I've had the make-up put on, while looking in the mirror, I wondered about how important should one's self-awareness be. Because, in work, I have an interest in the face I'm being asked to show. It can be said with confidence that the time during the hair and make-up are done for work is like a long-jump run, no? But it's not only what the eyes see or your toned condition; I believe it's also the emotional support too."
It's the same for women too when it comes to make-up. Even for the women who love Kamenashi Kazuya, who start screaming especially for him when he steps on the stage or during lives. But, even having done such a make-up, it can't really be noticed up from the stage, right?
"I can see it, really. My eyes are attracted especially to the lips and nails. There are times when the public polishes itself up, right? Besides, they (t/n: the girls, public) cheer while holding uchiwas up, no? No matter what, they care about this (t/n: make-up, looking good in front of their idols etc.) right?"
As expected, the make-up wears the touch of the girls' souls.
1 I believe that what he meant was that he wants to surpass the debut times when everything was for image and selling more and more, not taking in account what they had to do just for the numbers. He wants to show that they have matured and that their essence has become stronger than the spurts of youth.
* I’m not sure about what the interviewer meant through that phrase and it might not be my best interpretation of it. So… I’m not that sure, sorry :/
** Again, I fail to grasp what the interviewer meant with David Bowie sense and the overflowing soft light, but I believe it’s about Kame’s soft and sad aura he usually displays even in front of cameras from Going! Sports & News. But it’s only my interpretation, others might understand it differently than me.
That's all, folks! :D
[Edit] As vincnettekindly informed me, apparently the David Bowie mention refers to the fact the Bemu's appearance and outfit have been inspired from David Bowie, according to some staff from the drama set (TV PIA). So, here we have it ^^ David Bowie inspired Bemu~ <3
