What's the scenery of the bottom of the heart that Kamenashi Kazuya's lens reflects?
Vol.31 学ぶ To learn
「To study not by being forced by someone but as my heart leads me, is fun.」
These are the scripts of dramas and movies that allowed me to learn a lot of things until now. Since I can learn exceptionally from professionals, I think I'm in a very blessed environment. I'm not interested in mathematics, but if a role of a matematician ever comes, I suppose I'd study it quite deeply (laughs).
My student life lasted the blink of an eye. After joining Johnny's in the first year of middle school, the days I could take part in classes began to decrease (laughs). Honestly, I didn't hate the learning part itself, but I'm extremely no good in learning stuff I don't have interest in. For this reason even now from time to time, when the topic “school life” comes up, I feel just a tad lonesome. Only during the period of the high school entrance exam did I give my all and I studied and passed it, but at the end, I didn't complete my schooling until graduation. I don't feel abject nor I have regrets about it, but the sentiments “I was so bad in learning”, “my learning wasn't enough” still remain. Sadly, I wasn't made to learn after being forced to do so (laughs).
I do think that it's safer to posses a graduate certification from a first-class University in order to commonly live in society. But I understood that in this lifetime school background wasn’t indispensable, and I was resolute that even without going to school it would be okay if I could master the study necessary for my life. I think I had no hesitation since my teens.
Work and places where I enjoyed myself became the places of “learning” for me. During the “Kami no Shizuku” drama, I learned about wine and table manners. Since the character was a gifted sommelier, I could suddenly be taught by an elite sommelier in one-on-one lessons or be brought to an “association to learn about wines” which is almost impossible join. The knowledge I obtained in a dense period of time and environment, I make good use of them during dinners and dates even now (laughs). Among others, for “Sapuri” I learned surfing, for “1 pound no fukuin” I learned boxing. What I continue to do on a daily basis are few, but I think that everything has naturally become part of my flesh and blood.
Even if she's a girl with a cute look, if there's no “learning”, I don't feel her.
There’s also a great importance on what I learned from the adults I met in private soon after debut, when I was around 20 years old. Stylists older than me, writers, senpai from the agency....... People that even now are the top of everyone's admiration, I could meet them when I was only 20. The standard value of “adults” inside of me skyrocketed. The way to enjoy reading, the way to dress skillfully, even the way to behave classily at a hotel bar. This is because I had many chances to enter into contact with the quintessence of first-class adults. The learning was of course huge, and I feel I could become able to see what I must learn from now on too.
The desire of wanting to learn something from the people I meet is strong. Romantic love is the highest point of it. The way of thinking she has achieved from the life she has experienced until now through work and hobbies, I want to get to know “her world”, and I want be influenced by it. For this reason I have the tendency of being attracted to women who conduct a stimulative life. You know, I'm the type to whom it doesn't matter how cute she looks; if I'm not charmed by her inner world, I can't arouse sexual desire. On the contrary, even though from the appearance she isn't my type, it happens that I feel attraction if I talk to her and the sense of respect wells up. I wonder if it's unusual for a man? But it's true (laughs). From there, even if we start going out together for a long time, the ideal is learning from each other while keeping our respective world.
After becoming an adult, recently, I started to think I also want to acquire the common “learning”. As much as I was poor in learning while I was a student, I have now realized that there are so many things I still don't know. Except from what I learned by experience, I don't know so much else. Probably both my common sense and academic ability are lower than the standard (laughs). But I don't consider that something to feel ashamed of, but something to look forward to from now on. I'm full of curiosity, so it means I'm obviously full of “want to know” desire too. Right now scholastic study, literature, martial arts, whatever my antenna leds me to, I investigate all of them and all this is fun. From now on I hope I can continue learning earnestly and greedly, like a kid.
Kame’s fixed point of observation
When we asked what he's studying recently, the unexpected answer was “Mishima Yukio and tea”. “About Mishima Yukio, I watched the movie '11.25 the day of self-determination - Mishima Yukio and the young people', and all of a sudden interest swelled up. I realized I never properly read his works so now I'm reading the novels, and acquiring informations about Mishima Yukio. About tea, when I searched for the way to pour it deliciously, I got to know even the difference between the fermentation time of green tea and oolong tea. I'm the type whose curiosity connects one to the other like a chain (laughs).”

I really like his attitude of not being ashamed of the choices you made, joined with the "always learn, even from now on". I wish I was as positive as him!
...I wonder if we can believe him? No matter how cute, he can't just feel sexual attraction if he isn't attracted by her character...? Indeed, Kame, sounds odd for a man xD
