Vol. 27 ルール Rules
「A world without rules is boring. I want to daringly break the rules from time to time just after properly knowing them.」
As expected humans are ruled, or better are controlled by this more than any other rule, I guess. But it’s important. Even now, with the movie promotion and many other various things… the more I get busier, the more I practically feel I am living inside the rule called time.
School rules or workplace rules…. Even if we define “rule” with a single word there are many kinds of rules, and in any case I might be the kind of person that isn’t good at continuing following the so-called rules (laughs). For example, I decide lifestyle rules only during the period of time I am doing a theatrical play. This is because I can prepare body and spirit by settling rules to their details, from what I eat to what kind of music I listen to and the amount of time I sleep, and I also feel I can turn my personal switch on. But my limit is one month. As soon as the play ends I end up going back to a no-rule lifestyle (laughs). Since my usual schedule isn’t regular day-to-day, if I conduct a properly regulated lifestyle, I’m rather unable to adequately correspond [with the requested energy]. I feel that even the blood that flows inside my body is different between the time I am exposed to the eyes of many people like concerts and when I am alone during my private time, so continuing a routine lifestyle is absolutely impossible.
I totally want to learn the “rules” intended as the world and society’s common sense. When I was a teenager I thought that breaking them was cool, but now I think that a stance like Kabuki is the right choice: first there’s the need to know what common sense is and what “normal” is, and upon this follow to perfection what must be followed, and from time to time boldly break it. As a human being I want to be a person with common sense, but in doing this kind of job even being eccentric becomes [part of one’s] energy and charm. I want to keep dear both the perception of “normal” and “not normal” inside of me.
Recently I turned 27 and there’s something that I feel when I meet people of my same age. Which is, maybe there’s no “mean value of 27 years old”. As long as you’re a student, everyone respects school and family rules and has an average way of life, right? Nonetheless, at that time I was already doing a special job so I often couldn’t respect rules and I was standing out both in good and bad meanings. I really hated it though…. But reaching this age, everyone is conducting a life not hitched to rules or common sense, and people who are even more eccentric than me or very intriguing, have increased. They’re living following their heart without being caught by rules, so they have personality and are interesting.
Even if I fall in love with another girl, until the end I won’t tell it to my girlfriend.
It doesn’t mean that I hate rules. On the contrary, a world without rules isn’t fun and I think it isn’t productive. But I think: if you continue breaking all the rules with a rebellious spirit, what will you find after that? For example in my case, I have a rule inside of me of “don’t lie” regarding human relations I create in both private and work time. I always want to be honest with my heart and I don’t want to lie neither with words nor acts. Of course since I am doing this job I mustn’t reveal all of me and anyway there are things I won’t show or say. That’s also another rule. Inside of me not lying and having secrets are on two totally different dimensions. For example, if I went out on a date with another girl despite having a girlfriend, even if I am pressed for an answer by the girlfriend I’ll never ever tell it. Because I think that the only one feeling better after spitting it out would be me. Even if we eventually break up, I won’t say till the end a reason that’s fine with being left unsaid. I think that’s a man’s kindness, and also a love rule. Also the relationship with fans is close to this. I always earnestly consider them important and I come into contact with them speaking my mind, nevertheless, I think it’s different from venting all my private life or my discontent. This is why there are secrets (laughs). But exactly because there are secrets that fantasy grows bigger and love becomes deeper, I guess.
Kame’s fixed point of observation
As it’s written in the text, he talked using an expression that you’d expect from him, “the type of blood flowing inside my body between the time I’m alone and the work time is different”, but what does this mean in detail? “It’s the same of girls producing hormones before a date (laughs). I am the type who is easily influenced by many people and facts, extremely more so than others. It’s the same also for other moments, like when I work with a charming actor I pull off something better than my ability, or when I can become an extreme show-off during lives. Probably it’s thanks to this blood that’s easily influenced (laughs)”.

Looking forward to reading your comments about his "keeping the secret"~ xD
Small note: Reading the comments, to avoid confusion I think I need to point out that the original sentence about "If I ended up going out with another girl..." is an example-hypotesis ("in the case something like this happens..."), and it also implies that he actually didn't do it on purpose planning to go out with someone else and cheat, but it's something that somewhat happened (for who speaks Japanese, it's a ~しちゃったとして).
