Q. What do you think about a girl who eats a lot? Do you think a girl who eats VERY little is prettier than a girl who eats a lot?
A. I think girl who eats a lot is pretty too. I don't care how much the girl eats but I do care of how they eat. How they hold chopsticks and their manners. I like a girl who is comfortable to eat with. Besides, girls who eat a lot mean that the food they are eating must be great right? I think that is really great!
Q. When you are playing drums on stage, what are you thinking about?
A. I don't think about anything (laughs) I'm really focused when I'm playing. So when I realize, the song just ended. I really don't think about anything when I play.
Q. What did you buy lately?
A. I wanted some clothes so I went shopping, but that day I couldn't find any good clothes so I didn't buy any. When I'm on "Takizawa Enbujo (stage)", I did lots of shopping inTokyo...So I try not to do shopping (laughs).
Q. What do you want to eat before you die?
A. I don’t want to think about it because I really don’t want to die (laughs).
Q. What is your most important stuff now?
A. A fan’s letter. I always get encouraged from the fan’s messages of support. But I don’t have a place for fan’s letters. What should I do?
Q. You were saying “I’m really tired of roughness” before, but did it get cured?
A. It did. When I’m on the stage, I sweat a lot because I’m wearing make up and I think that is the cause of roughness. I didn’t do anything for skin care but it got cured ♪
Q. Do you have a plan for a hair cut?
A. Absolutely not! (laughs) I think my hair now is short enough. I’m not planning to have long hair, but I’m not planning to cut it either.
Q. Which season do you like?
A. Not that I like Spring, Summer, Autumn, or Winter, but I like the beginning of all seasons. I like the feeling of new season coming.
Q. How can I learn to be a better drummer? When did you start playing drums?
A. When you learn it, don’t look for an easy way to get better. You just have to work hard. When I look back I realize, that it is in one’s body in which you make the effort to start the real result, than any other kinds of things that take shortcuts. Oh and I think I started playing the drums when I was a sophomore. I played the drums before and teacher told me “you are very perceptive in playing the drums” but I didn’t believe him (laughs). But when I think about it now I guess I got along well with drums.
Q. In General what character would you want to play if you get offered for a drama?
A. I want to play the complete opposite of my own character. It’s ok to play a bad person but I don’t want to die in the drama either, so I just turn down any job offers for that (laughs).
