The 11 elements that made me who I am today
1. Planning a concert that packs the entire 20 years
This year is the 10th anniversary for my solo debut and also 20 years since entering Johnny's Jimusho. So the tour starting in June will be like a summary of my activities up to now. Naturally songs after I debuted will be included, but I also want to do songs that I did in my Jr. period, songs that wasn't recorded and makes you think "so nostalgic". Senpai's songs too. Because there are people who liked me for 20 years, so if possible I want to do something that makes them happy. I might even do some songs that can't be recorded in the DVD. Like something only people that comes to the live concert can experience (laughs).
2. The excitement I have never felt "fishing"
I went ocean fishing in March. It's because I got a ship licence. Although it was during the period where you're lucky to catch any, but I got quite a haul. The first fish I caught in my entire life was a Japanese whiting. I caught as much as 6 of them. I thought to myself, "I've struck luck" (laughs). The moment I caught the fish, I felt an excitement that I've never felt before. Human really do have hunting instinct. When the fish appears and get hooked, you can't be impatient here. You have to slowly pull the line patiently otherwise the fish will run away. This is like a tactic with the fish. They say love is the same too. If you're rash and go in too forceful, the other person will draw back, thinking "What are you trying to do?". You have to reel them in slowly (laughs). Who knew you can also relate in human studies (laughs).
3. With a little skill, cooking by myself is delicious
Last time I didn't want to do any cooking at all, but recently I had the chance so I tried to do it. It was surprisingly delicious (laughs). When making miso soup, "the taste changes this much when I do it this way?". Just by adding konbu and bonito into the soup stock, it made it really tasty. From now on, I'll try to cook more.
4. I love the sea so I got a ship licence
When there's free time, I think it's a waste to just spend it idly, I thought of taking some qualifications so I got a boat licence. The reason being because I love the sea. The license that I got allows me to drive a ship up to 24m. 24m is a pretty big ship. I also have jet ski and scuba-diving qualifications, so I can enjoy sea leisure to the fullest (laughs). I can't wait for summer!
5. Before, it was absolutely meat, now it's Japanese food
I might be a food lover (laughs). Now I really like Japanese food. Sushi, depending on the person who prepares it and the ingredients, can be completely different. That was really shocking. The fish that I caught was made into tempura, and it was so delicious and tender. Also, I've always love meat and I also like Italian. On the opposite, I don't like sweet and sour pork with pineapple. I think it's better without the pineapple (laughs). Maybe I like food that have simple taste? Oh but honey on cheese was really tasty too.
6. Muscle training, my daily routine
I probably started muscle training at around 20 years old. In those days I trained even in the dressing room of the studio. Because I was too busy, so I train during any gap! Something like that (laughs). I might have said something like "I want to become stronger to protect people that are important to me", but that might not be the truth (laughs). Also, at the time I wanted to bulk up my body so I was eating recklessly. But now I do muscle training for work. Because Johnny's is a job where we are looked at.
7. The ideal woman is someone who can face people
Now my ideal woman would be someone who can communicate well with other people. Someone who I can consult to like a friend. When you're dating, a lot of problems will come up. Each person grew up in a different environment, so no matter how much you love someone, you will butt heads. Although I'm not saying to be flexible, but to look for the source of the problem between the two together, someone who can discuss about it properly would be good. Because I'm not that good at communicating with people, that's why I want to like someone who can face people properly. Also, my way of thinking don't get influenced easily. But someone who can confront me and make me realize "maybe I'm the one who's wrong here", someone like that would be ideal.
8. I'm too stubborn (Everyone, I'm sorry for this past 20 years (laughs)
I'm stubborn in everything. And I want to do the things that I want to do. It's the same for work. For example when there are 2 jobs, and people around me told me "if you do this one, it has benefits", but if I want to do the other one more, I will choose that job without thinking about the benefit and loss. What I look for is, it looks fun to do or difficult to do. I will daringly choose the one with a higher hurdle. It has always been that way. Even though I have failed a lot, but I have never regretted once.
9. I entered Johnny's because of Takki
The trigger for entering JE is I saw Takki (Takizawa Hideaki) in the drama, "Ghost Stories on Thursday". Once I entered, I immediately got Takki's attention, but at first I couldn't tell apart dream and reality. Someone from TV is so close, like "It's the real Takki" (laughs). For a while, I only saw Takizawa-san as "Takki". But while working, the fantasy gradually becomes reality. Then, I aspired to be someone like Takki. At that time, I was on a show with Juniors only, "8 ji dai J". The Juniors who appeared on this show, now when I think about it, it's really an incredible group (laughs). Who I am presently, is because of Johnny's, Takki of course, and also thanks to the staffs and fans involved until now.
10. At 30, I had short hair for the first time
It's my first time having my hair this short. I had decided that I would cut my hair short when I'm 30. If I don't do it this way, I won't have the resolve to cut it. To me, I felt that I'm about to become an ojisan (uncle) soon, it is alright that I have such messy bangs? (laughs) That's why I thought to trim it once. At first it didn't look like me, it felt strange when I look at the mirror. Now it's super easy! My hair dries so fast. When I just cut it, it was even shorter and it took 1 minute to dry (laughs). Summer is coming soon, so please let me keep this hair for a while.
11. Time with high school friends
Recently I have probably been hanging out more with high school friends or friends in different occupations. Talking with friends from the same industry, there's a different kind of fun. With friends who are married, I listen to them talk about their kids. It has nothing in connection with my current job, this kind of peaceful conversation made me very relaxed.
Just a rough translation, feel free to correct any mistakes. ^^
