Kis-My-Ft2 - Duet May 2012 KisuTsuu
I baked a pound cake today and one last week too! How's that for...would that be called productive? I don't know. I bake because I crave sweets all the time and it's not good for me to eat candy and whatever I have around home all the time, so baking my own stuff it was. Last week was apple tea pound cake while this week was banana pound cake. =3 I also made a quick blancmange last night so I can have it for dessert today because like I said, I crave sweets, like, all the time. It's kind of horrible. There are times I manage to hold back, but there are times I just give in.
Oh, and after I made the post about Hikari e, I managed to sing it at karaoke the next day! Only problem was that my colleague was covering the screen half the time so I couldn't get all the lyrics perfectly =| Need to sing it again when there are less people around.
Enbujou sounds epic, and I'm really sad I won't get to see it at all. Actually, I might have managed to watch it along with ABC-Z at Yoyogi, but then there's KisuMai, and I thought I shouldn't take too many days off, and then my friend convinced me to go to Korea with her...well, there went my plan of spending all my money on fandom, lol. I hope Enbujou gets released on DVD and possibly Ebi's concert too? I feel really bad about missing Ebi's concert actually =| I would totally tried to go to other shows if it wasn't either too far or with really bad timing ._____.
Okay, decided to post another KisuTsuu because I'm still a year behind with the May 2013 issue out now =|
Translation. KisuMai's serial in Duet. Members' columns about various things. Nikaido and Senga being random, Yokoo talks about something he owns, Miyata about moe in his life, Tama gives advice (?), and Kitayama and Fujigaya talks about crossdressing for the KissMints CM. Includes reports about KissMints CM and HamaKisu.

KisuTsuu Vol.9
Their first CM after debut, the start of a new show... With happy announcements dropping in one after the other, the pages are filled to the brim! You should check out each member’s popular serial columns as well. We’re delivering to you this month again a report filled with the seven members’ charm.
After debut, they transformed into beautiful girls in their first CM!?
Did you check out Kis-My-Ft2’s first CM after debut for “Watering Kiss Mint Gum” (Glico)? Of course, scenes where they repeat the “seven colours breath beams” are points worth noting, but the attention is on the seven members’ transformation into a “mysterious beautiful girls unit” through crossdressing. “We did everything properly, inclusding our nails!” (Fujigaya). “We should have various types of beautiful girls here” (Yokoo). “It’ll be hard to choose (laughs)” (Kitayama), and he showed a smile, confident of their “beauty”. With the assessments between members themselves, Tamamori and Fujigaya were popular choices, and Tamamori was laughing shyly, “It feels good.” The one who found the Star Dust Mint flavour to be his favourite was Fujigaya, and he said, “I like the refreshing taste after you eat it. The packaging is good too, so I want to bring it around all the time.” In addition, he also said, “If the smell of their breaths are (coincidentally) the same between a pair of lovers, then it’s destiny!”. Kitayama said, “The refreshingness of “Kiss Mint” should give guys confidence” and recommended “Watering Kiss Mint Gum” to be perfect for kisses. Their first CM has created a stir and is a huge success. Fujigaya also talked about their ambitions for the future, saying, “I want to show people a new side to the seven of us by a different transformation and challenge again”!
(captions that go with the photos)
The crossdressing they did in the “Female Version” was a serious big transformation where they put on full make-up including fake eyelashes and even more mini skirts and one-piece dresses with frills.
In the “Male Version”, they had scenes showing their dances. They splendidly mastered the dance that was showed to them on the day of the filming! There were hardships of “It was hard to dance with our mouths open” too.
Yokoo chose the flavour Peach Sorbet as his favourite, Kitayama and Senga chose White Sour Mint, and Tamamori and Nikaido chose Muscat. Despite how Miyata said, “Stardust Mint!”, the same as Fujigaya, he was hindered by Fujigaya who said, “It seems like I’m the only one that likes this flavour (laughs)”, so he tried appealing himself from behind going, “Me too! Me too!”
Taisuke Fujigaya & Kitayama Hiromitsu’s Talking Time Together with Readers
YuRuFuWa Talk
[Note: Yurui means lax, lenient, while fuwa(fuwa) means fluffy, light]
The “crossdressing” requests that came in a flood for the column serial has now come true through a CM! This month, have inside stories about that♪
Kitayama (the rest as K): We did crossdressing! To think we talked so much about “to crossdress or not” harshly here (laughs).
Fujigaya (the rest as F): Not to mention, all seven of us crossdressed.
K: Lots of readers said, “Crossdress” to us, right? And, we did it. Since we made everyone’s wishes come true, I feel they should say “You’re pretty” to us! (laughs)
F: Who was pretty?
K: Tama for me I guess?
F: I think Tama was pretty as expected. The unexpected one was Kento. He looked like a mixed. Still, Kento looked like his mother.
K: I also thought, “If I had an older sister, she’d look like this.”
F: I looked like my mother too. Wataru and Kento know my mother, and when they saw my crossdressing, they said, “You seriously look like her.”
K: By the way, among all that crossdressing, I’m the only one with “huge breasts”!
F: Puh (laughs).
K: I’m the only one with more pads put in. I thought it’d be fine if one of us had large breasts.
F: Didn’t you feel any discomfort?
K: Of course there was plenty of discomfort. The most I felt discomfort was here though (around his face). I had a bob hairstyle, and the way my hair covered was like, “Uwah!”
F: I wore tights and short pants? It kind of was puffy, and like pumpkin pants. I wore that, but I felt restless. It felt like my butt was sticking out. I wouldn’t wear something that short after all. But then I recalled Tama wearing even shorter pants than that for his concert costume, and thought, “That guy is amazing” (laughs).
K: Hahaha! Do you want to do this again?
F: Perhaps if it was a different style of crossdressing. Like an OL or something...this time, we were conscious of being girls with this fresh feeling.
K: It will depend on the project. Also, don’t you think the tension will be raised really high if we appear in those girl clothes during concerts?
F: It takes time to prepare and to change back to a guy though. Once we dress as a girl, we have to keep it that way and do the concert for a while (laughs). That or make sure we get lots of time to change.
K: I haven’t told my parent about crossdressing yet (interview was done near the end of February). I think she’d be surprised.
F: If someone who doesn’t know about us saw the crossdressing in the CM and misunderstood us as actual girls and were charmed by us, what should we do? I wonder if they’ll be shocked when they find out we’re actually guys? (laughs)
K: When we talk, our voices are really low, yea? Like “Ue~i”.
F: Ahahaha! Our friends would be surprised too...
K: Well, we have responded to the cries of “Crossdress as girls!” from the readers.
F: Next is...hey, this isn’t a corner to take requests, right? The readers cooperate with us for our questions and wishes, right?
K: That’s right (laughs). It’s okay to send opinions in though if you have them too. If it’s interesting, we’ll use it!
F: If it’s interesting (laughs).
Wataru Yokoo's Item Talk
mono story
This was a watch I was aiming to get since a while ago, but it wasn’t being sold anywhere, so I was looking for it the whole time. My older brother found it and while he was hesitating about whether to get it or not, I went ahead and got it♪ When he saw me wearing it, he went “You! This!” and was surprised (laughs). There was the fact that I originally like this brand, but I also like how the design is really simple and fashionable. Including this one, I have about 5 or 6 watches!
New Show “HamaKisu” Starts!
The seven of them sends ramming attacks towards comedy at a “Variety School”!?
Kis-My-Ft2’s first main personality show “HamaKisu” is finally taking off! The same show that was aired as a special program twice at the end of last year and the end of March has become a regular program and started. Yoiko’s Hamaguchi Masaru-san and a guest comedian will appear as lecturers and teach the seven members the basics of variety shows. Projects like “fake onsen (stepping into a cold bath and trick others into thinking it’s warm)” and “bibiri bridge (finish crossing a narrow bridge that is 10m without falling)”, the seven of them will challenge projects that are harsh for idols! [Note: Bibiri means scared, nervous, but also chicken or scaredy cat, but it didn’t sound nice as part of the project’s name, so I kept it as that.] They exactly are continuous ramming attacks. “Where we do what kind of project, we don’t know until we go to the filming place on the day of!” Like how Kitayama had said, for the “fake onsen” project, the seven of them were brought to snowy mountains while dressed casually. Miyata said, “I was shaking with unease and fear on the bus towards the filming spot (laughs). When we arrived, there was a ski slope...” To that, Hamaguchi-san said, “Everyone was wearing regular shoes, so when we were moving around, they kept falling and it was funny~ We should have filmed that!” and praised the seriousness of the show. Also, he also provided words of anticipation towards the potentiality of the seven members, saying, “Despite being idols, they didn’t complain about cold water being poured over their heads. Seeing that, I thought, ‘Oh! This is good!’”. “Please watch the seven of us facing these challenges and having fun!” (Fujigaya). That was the determination of Kis-My-Ft2. Don’t miss out on their gallant figures of doing their best, and their growth as well!

What should I do to grow bigger?
Try playing basketball!
You asked me this before too, right? If I’m not wrong, I said to drink milk. Well, this time, try eating small fish. Ah, but Senga, you have strong bones, so you don’t have to eat them, huh~ Won’t playing basketball be good then? Since you would jump upwards, perhaps you may stretch and grow (laughs).
Toshiya Miyata's Throbbing Diary
Moe Moe Memory
Lately, I try to drink tomato juice in the morning and when I come back home. That’s because I saw on the Internet that it won’t make you fat (laughs). I like tomatoes originally, so I thought, “This is good information,” and went to the supermarket to buy some, but they were sold out! From then on, I went to check out the supermarket often and finally got some! I bought a good amount of 5 or 6 pet bottles of 900mL.

Takashi Nikaido & Kento Senga's Mischievous Crosstalk
They keep on going off track, and a talk where you don’t know if it matches the theme or not...but 2S are having fun!
Senga (the rest as S): Shall we talk about us not being able to wink well?
Nikaido (the rest as 2): We can’t do it at all. We can wink in our hearts though!
S: Well, yea (laughs).
2: Okay, we have our conclusion!
S: Oi, oi, put in some more effort to expand the topic.
2: Eh? (Interview was done near the end of February) It’s almost Senga’s birthday? Make that as the theme? Ahh! Senga’s birthday!!
S: Oh♪
2: ...it’s alright.
S: Hey, hey. It’s easier to expand on than about winking!
2: It’s a joke (laughs). Senga’s birthday? When is it again?
S: Eh? You don’t know?
2: March 23rd!
S: Oh! You knew!
2: Whether you read from one end or the other, it’s “323”. Just like “tomato”.
S: Right, right.
2: A celebration...it’s not about money. Leaving fun memories is the best!
S: What will you do for me?
2: If we’re talking about memories, then it’s a “trip”, right?
S: Going on a trip without spending money?
2: On a budget as low as possible... Senga, where do you want to go?
S: Ehh...the river?
2: I see, the river.
S: People often play baseball there, right? So like, watching them.
2: It’s fun watching kids play sandlot baseball.
S: Let’s have a barbeque too. Grill fish we fished from the river!
2: It’s low budget after all! Let’s make the materials cost low!
S: Can you not forget it’s celebration for me too? (laughs)
2: I’ll give you “Happy Birthday” from me.
S: Eh?
2: I’ll give you the words “Happy Birthday” that are totally filled with my feelings! It’s valuable, alright? It’s not “Happy Birthday” you can find everywhere else.
S: Words? (slight smile)
2: I’ll give Senga these words, filling them with feelings more than anyone else (smug☆)
S: I want to hear them...“now”!
2: ......it’s not your birthday now, so no! (laughs)
S: Ahahaha! Ah well. You’re going to fill them with your feelings, right?
2: Right, I’m going fill it with my feelings and give you a letter!
S: Oi! It changed to a letter!
2: In a time where emails are the natural thing, letters have the most feelings to them, right!
S: Write it properly with legible words, okay?
2: Yea. If I actually do this, it’ll be five times more interesting than you imagine it to be. Celebrations are hard. I’ll do it though! For Senga!
S: Un, un, I’ll report about it in the next issue. That “Nikaido didn’t do it in the end” (straight face).
2: Ahahaha!
S: You laughed? We’re going to make it a briefing session next month about whether you did it or not!
2: Okay~(laughs)
This month’s 2Shot☆
2S responded to the request of “put your cheeks together and wink!” from Chiba Prefecture’s Yuutan-san. When we thought they were reflecting when they said, “We’re way too bad at winking (laughs)”, the two of them were cracking up.
