[Sakurai Ariyoshi THE Yakai 2019-03-10]
KITAMURA TAKUMI
i just translate the studio talk part ^^
Sho : First, when he was 8 years old,
“He was scouted to Stardust Promotion at 3rd grade”
Wakako : 3rd grade??
Ariyoshi : 3rd grade? It was a period when kids just drooling and showing around their pe**s
(laughs)
Sho : most of the kids did
Ariyoshi : Even sakurai-san was also like that right?
Sho : I was still drooling
Sho : We have his picture at that period
*show picture*
Ariyoshi : CUTE!
Wakako : No wonder he got scouted
Kazushige : He’s different from other kids
Sho : His first job was also amazing
Ariyoshi : What was it?
Takumi : I did tv commercial for car
Sho : We also got the video
Ariyoshi : I want to see it
*HONDA CM*
Ariyoshi : He looks confident
Sho : How is it maruyama-san? He’s cute isnt he?
Maruyama: He’s so cute as if all human race mix together
(laughs)
Ariyoshi : it’s not that disgusting
(laughs)
Maruyama: I mean that he’s just so cute
Tsubokura : We wouldn’t know how it’ll be if all human race mix together
Sho : And now we got source from all his former teacher and friends to reveal his true self. First is from his former homeroom teacher Nomoto-sensei
“He went for audition even though he have 40 degrees fever”
Sho : You remember Nomoto-sensei?
Takumi : Yes, He was my saviour
Sho : And this from sensei
“He was a calm, smiley, and wonderful student. I admire how he cope with both school and work. It was written at graduation book that he went for audition even when he have 40 degrees fever. I was taken aback at that time”
Takumi : Before i got that honda cm, i went for more than 100 audition and always failed. At that time i will just go for audition, failed hundred times. But i will just go for audition no matter what the condition is.
Sho : What did kids at elementary school do at audition exactly?
Takumi : For my first audition, usually we supposed to say our company name, like “I came from stardust promotion”. But i didn’t know so i just said my home address.
(laughs)
Wakako : SO CUTE!
Ariyoshi : because they asked you where you came from right?
Takumi : yes
Ariyoshi : Wakako-san love this kind of story
Wakako : i LOVE it! This kind of pureness, not influenced yet (by entertainment industry)
(laughs)
Sho : And thanks to this CM,
“He continuously acted as childhood version of the main actor, and he got the title as Childhood Pro”
Sho : And your first movie debut is?
Takumi : Ikematsu-kun childhood role at “DIVE!!”
Sho : And this is his picture
*Ikematsu and Takumi picture*
Sho : You were 10 years old
Takumi : Yes 10 years old. I only have one line of dialogue at that time.
Sho : after that he got lots of offer for childhood role. And one of them was this person
*Matsumoto Jun and Takumi Pictures*
Sho : it’s Matsumoto-san
Takumi : I was told that i look like matsumoto-san the most, more than other childhood role i’ve done
Sho : Yes you guys have similar vibe there. Did you had any conversation with matsumoto-san?
Takumi : Since we’re doing the same character, Matsumoto-san suggested to have rehearsal together before the shooting started. We exchanged role, i did matsumoto-san adult version and he did my childhood role
Sho : ??
Ariyoshi : He doesn’t get it (laughs)
Sho : Why? What is the point of doing that?
(laughs)
Tsubokura: it’s to grasp the character. He did it for the sake of becoming matsumoto jun
Sho : is that so?
Tsubokura: yes XD
Sho : and now its from someone who work with him. it’s from Tsukikawa director who was doing Radwimps MV when kitamura-kun was on 7th grade.
“During audition he got a different aura with other, i decided to pass him once i see him. He got the strength to not influenced by other and really calm when he act. He also able to absorb all the instruction really fast.”
Sho : what do you think about his comment?
Takumi : i’m so happy. He is one of the director that i trust
Ariyoshi : Tsubokura also got different aura from the rest of WAGAYA
Tsubokura: could u please stop comparing with such a small range?it’s so embarrassing
(laughs)
Narator : And now it’s info from manager about how kitamura is at school
“He was basketball club member for 3 years even though he is banned from tournament”
Ariyoshi : what is going on?
Sho : Before he join the club, he’s been told by the teacher in charge of the club.
“For someone who is in entertainment industry, lots of fans will gather during match so we cant let him participate at it. But he said it’s ok not to participate as long as he can join the practice, so for 3 years he only do the practice activity”
Tsubokura: wow he sincerely like basketball
Kazushige : Isn’t it boring? Because no matter how much you work for it, you cant participate at the match
Takumi : i’ve always wanted to do club activity since i was in elementary school, like the time we spent together with friends. In the end i’m in charge of teaching my junior.
Wakako : that’s great. Well join match is not what matters~
Sho : You’re so soft to him! Totally!
(laughs)
Wakako : What important is spending time with your team mates, you’re a good boy~
Kazushige : Join match is what matter!
Wakako : No it’s not!!
(laughs)
Sho : Next is 2015
“as Dance-Rock-Band DISH!, Budoukan sold out for 4 years in a row”
Wakako : really?
Kazushige: i didnt know
*Tada Dakishimeru clip from live*
Sho : SO GOOD!
Ariyoshi : he’s a good singer
Wakako : You’re good~!
Sho : You clap like a parents
(laughs)
Sho : Dance-Rock-Band, my apologies but what is that?
Takumi : We are a band that play music while dancing and singing
Ariyoshi : Like Nandedaro[tetsu&tomo]?
(laughs)
Sho : is that dance-rock-band??XD
Tsubokura: you can’t call that [nandedaro] a dance
(laughs)
Sho : And the next comment is from Mackenyu
“I really respect him in acting, but outside work he is totally a masochist”
*picture of takumi and mackenyu*
Sho : So cool!
(laughs)
Sho : You often hang out together?
Takumi : Yes. Like we just went to okinawa cuisine for lunch, we often went out to eat.
Sho : We got info from mackenyu-kun. “I really respect him in acting, but outside work he is totally a masochist” and we got a message from him
“He is multitalented and really good at acting, as someone at the same age i’m proud and respect him. It’s really comfortable being around him outside work, we can spend hours without talking.”
Sho : you guys really a good friend
“But he is a super masochist. It’s frustrating that i cant clearly describe it with words, but you’ll get it once you spend time with him.”
Sho : What does he mean by that? Totally masochist? Are you aware of it?
Takumi : hmmm....well i know i’m not a sadistic. Basically i’m a passive person, for all aspect
Sho : So you’re not aware that you’re a super-masochist?
Takumi : well i like to push myself and drive myself into a corner.
Sho : So you dont hate it at all?
Takumi : No i dont
Miyazon : which one is it, totally M or you say “please bully me” but with sadistic attitude?
(laughs)
Ariyoshi : It’s quite difficult. For me when i went to S-M Club, i enter S course but do M things
(laughs)
Sho : what are you talking about??! XDD
*Start VTR of Takumi got painful-massage and eat super spicy mabo tofu*
Takumi loves pain and able to endure it. He said for massage its not complete without pain XD
And for spicy food he’s actually not good at it but in the end he manage to eat 5 spoon, it’s a record since last time at yakai, nobody able to eat more than one spoon XD
Sho : Tsubokura-san, did you watch his movie ? [kimi no suizou wo tabetai]
Tsubokura: i read the novel and love it so much, when i watch the movie,,, you’re good
(laughs)
Wakako : Why did you talk as if you’re an actor?
Ariyoshi : Like a veteran senior
Tsubokura: He’s really good at expressing the bottled - up emotion and anger. I think you’ll become a great actor
(laughs)
Ariyoshi : Yes it’s quite a difficult role
(laughs)
Sho : Why suddenly so many ‘actor’ here XDD
Sho : And last from Nagano Mei who act with him at new movie release this spring, Kimi wa tsukiyo ni hikari kagayaku.
“First confession. Something about Kitamura Takumi makes me uneasy”
Sho : Do you have any idea what is this about?
Takumi : Not at all
Sho : She feel uneasy, so we have a testimony video. Here it is
Mei : He will adjust with surrounding when he act. He wont go forward, if the partner change then he will change as well. It’s unexpectedly easy to show your own style, but for him he will kill a part of him and make his partner stand out instead. I thinks it’s a wonderful strength.
Narator : and what makes you feel uneasy about kitamura?
Mei : He’s wearing a weird hat. It’s a brown color. Everytime i see him he’s wearing it. It’s a flexible hat, you can change the shape. Like fold the side, or wear it fully down
Staff : what do you think about the hat?
Mei : it’s not my style
(laughs)
Sho : She completely reject it (laughs) We borrow the hat from his manager to see how it looks like. Try to wear it please
Takumi : if you wear it normally, it’ll be like this
Wakako : Ahh so cute
Takumi : then sometimes you just rearrange like this *fold the side*
Ariyoshi : quite high fashion
Maruyama: stylish~
Wakako : Cute~~~
(laughs)
Wakako : show us more please
XDD
