Nakamaru Yuichi interview translation - Wink Up February 2010
The first time you ___ alone
The first time I went somewhere alone was probably to a family restaurant. I think I was in highschool, and after work I got told 'I haven't prepared anything today so eat out ok?' and I thought 'What should I do...?' and that's the first time I went into a restaurant by myself. After I ordered, I had no idea what I should do, so I just played on my phone. The whole time I was waiting I was nervous, my heart was like 'doki doki', (lol).
Your first fight
I do my utmost not to get into fights, I'm the type that's always going "Hey hey, come on now..." (lol). Have I had a fight? Ah, that's right, I had one when I was in junior school. There was someone who wanted to come and pick a fight with one of my class mates. He didn't even have a reason. At first he did nothing to my class mate, but he was so overly persistant that I thought I was just going to have to fight him, and I seem to remember it just turned into a grappling fight. In the end though I got punched in the face and got a nose bleed* so I lost. But then I had a reason so it turned into a tussle, and the other kid ended up saying "Ok I got it, that's enough, let's stop this". And I believed what he said so I let our hands go and as soon as I did, I got punched again**. That was around first grade, and ever since then, I've stopped trusting people...(lol)
Your first reward to yourself
Well it's not the first, but the time before last, after I finished a tight job as a present to myself I went to the sushi shop I've been interested in. It's not the kind of place you can just enter causually, so I think it was my [good] timing. There was no sign to give prices, they just leave you to it***. Anyway from the start there was sea urchin, and salmon roe, just popping out one after the other and I was seriously thinking 'What the hell~', it cost way more that what I thought but even though it was pricey, well ~ it was really good!
Your first tears of happiness, first man-tears
I have this memory of when I was in third year of middle school, watching Titanic and bawling my eyes out. But maybe that wasn't the first time I'd cried like that...It's really hard to refrain from crying while watching movies. I felt really sorry for the friends that went to see it with me.
At the moment/recently
Um...ah, that's right. Today I got home delivery and I could see the guy who brought it on the intercorm, he looked like a cheery kinda guy. Then, when I opened the door, just like what I saw on the intercorm, was this really crisp looking person. He said "The receipt is with your order thanks very much", and just like that, he left. He handed it over so frantically it seems he forgot to take the money. Man, that really surprised me. Of course I called out 'Hey, I haven't paid you know~!' and paid properly. But if I hadn't said anything, that guy would have just gone no problems, without getting the money, lol.****
Notes:
*See Jin?! He got punched in the nose as a kid, poor guy wasn't born with a face like that. Lol. Whose side am I on here?
** That's even more reason to not pick on Maru's nose, mmmmk? Who knows what kinds of traumatic reconstriuctive surgery he had to go through after the fight to get the nose he has today. BE THANKFUL HE HAS A NOSE AND IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE MICHAEL JACKSONS, OK.
*** Dun dun duuuuuun! We all know that if there are no prices on a menu in Japan, it's because there are too many zeros to fit on the page XD
*** LOL Do you think when Maru opened the door, the guy knew who he was and just shit himself and ran?
Awwwwwww....... AWWWWWWWW. I just want to give him a cuddle. He's Mr Nice, he made me laugh, he's the sensitive cry-in-girly-movies type... if I was a famous Japanese hottie and ready to settle down, I'd be makin eyes at Maru.
thanks to
