What's the scenery of the bottom of the heart that Kamenashi Kazuya's lens reflects?
Vol. 26 ひとり ALONE
「The feelings of wanting to be “a helpful human being” for the people dear to me become my source behind my power to fight.」
This is the picture of the sunset I took from a hotel I stayed at during a Tokyo trip I took alone. In winter the atmosphere is clean so I could even see Mt.Fuji very clearly. While I gazed at the scenery alone, I wanted to share my moved feelings with someone, so in the end I sometimes called my family to my room (laughs).
I like to have a “Tokyo trip alone” now and then during the crevice of time in the routine schedule. This is what I call the staying at hotels in Tokyo by myself (laughs). Yesterday too, from the afternoon I had off time, so I stayed at a hotel and came here. As breakfast I ate my beloved Eggs Benedict, I reserved the pool and swam there, and after taking a shower I came here. It’s something extravagant to do since my house is in the metropolitan area, but I can taste the feeling of an easy-going trip and it cleans my body and spirit from tiredness even in periods when I can’t take a sizable vacation. The “Tokyo trip alone” is a precious time for me. When I’m busy, even if I manage to go back home, I lose against the tiredness; I sleep till the very last minute before going out for work and tend to become sluggish… If I stay at a hotel, not only can I wake up in the morning, but I can also enjoy my breakfast while gazing at the scenery outside the window. I sometimes display my favorite clothes in the closet which is peculiar of hotels (laughs). Doing so, I feel like my pressed heart and time go back to a normal speed while enjoying a luxurious span of time.
For me, the time I am alone is “a time I take care of myself”. This time is the unique time in which I, to whom it is normal to always care about others, take care with my heart exclusively of me. More than being about simply spoiling myself, it’s something more akin to acting cool towards myself (laughs). When I’m at home alone, I wear my favorite robe, I properly clean and cook, I also examine my clothes and the room’s interior that I normally wouldn’t notice. If I gaze at my properties from an objective point of view and can think “Isn’t this good!” (laughs), the strength to give my best from the day after too springs out.
Because there is the presence of precious people that “being alone” has a meaning.
Humans have no other choice than to basically struggle alone. Especially in my case, I strongly think this because I have a personality that can’t demand attention from others and can neither depend on them. Of course I know that I’m not alone if I’m in need so there’s also this fact, but…. Family, friends, lover and work colleagues, it’s not a matter-of-fact that these precious people are on your side. They are relationships that won’t grow if both sides don’t make efforts, and there is the sense of danger that any human relationship is uncertain. Of course I believe that even if I become a good for nothing, the relationship with my family or friends won’t change, but on the other side, I also think that most probably my present human relationships stand because my work side is stable. For example, of course when I go out eating with my family or kohai, but also when I go out eating with older friends, I want to pay. About this, I have not the slightest intention of “I’m doing them a favor”. On the contrary, it’s my feeling of “thank you for spending a fun time with me”. I mean, I’m doing it because I want to share with the people next to me the beautiful scenery I saw or the delicious food [I ate]. The money and time I spend with people, at the end, are also something for myself. It’s because right now I’m in a condition in which I can do such things and I want to be a helpful human being for my important people, that maybe I can give my best at work every day.
This is the same about KAT-TUN. Obviously it’s an important existence and there are many things we can do only if we’re a group. But if you content yourself with just being in a group, it’s a matter of fact that you will become lenient. The mind with which each member raises his own consciousness and reinforces his foundation called “himself”, is important too. Me too, the more my individual activities like dramas and movies increase, the more I feel my weak points and how much I am not good enough. It’s a succession of reflections as “That time I should have done it like this”; but this experience of being placed in a strict environment day after day, surely I will be able to make full use of it in KAT-TUN activities too. To begin with, I’ll fight while enjoying this “being alone”.
Kame’s fixed point of observation
This is a photoshot taken with the setting sun. While looking at himself reflected in the monitor, he solitarily said “I became an adult too…” “I’m 27 years old already. Both the face and the body form have changed. When I was 20, I was more than 10 kg lighter than now, and even though back then I didn’t gain weight no matter how much I ate, now I gain weight from what I eat without fail (laughs). Recently I had Panasonic CM filming, so for the previous week I tightened my body by banning alcohol, eating once a day and just one piece of tofu. Maybe I’m the type who, if doesn’t have such a job regularly, can’t hang on (laughs)”.

This Maquia left me a bittersweet taste :( But since Scorch66 and I have different opinions about what he said, I am going to keep silent and not comment this volume because I want to see what people comment ^^'
