Wink Up- March 2009 Part 1 Yamapi x Massu x Koyama
I was feeling bored when I saw this interesting article! I love it a lot more when NEWS has cross-talks instead of individual interviews :) Enjoy reading! Translations are from Chinese-->English and please tell me if you spot any inaccuracies in the translation ^^
Part 2 of this article featuring the crosstalk between Tegoshi x Shige x Ryo has already been translated here so I wouldn't be posting that.
Feel free to share this translation, but I'll appreciate if you credit :) Comments are ♥
For the Tegoshi who doesn't like to speak up during MCs. Please share with us the energy he possesses which usually cannot be seen on stage.
Koyama: In the dressing room, he would run around energetically without his undies and with only a bathrobe on.
Yamapi: After that, he would stand diagonally in front of me. I really hope he would wear his undies (laughs)
Massu: That is a realistic wish.
Koyama: Also, this guy recently likes to play games that frustrate others. Games such as "Let's make a new drink".
Yamapi: Ah~ I'm a victim of this! Yesterday, I poured tea into my cup as usual. After leaving my seat for a little while, there were obviously many bubbles in my drink when I returned. However, everyone around me had the "Please read the atmosphere and drink it up" expression on their faces. I had no choice but to drink it up. My tea became a really weird/powerful drink. (laughs)
Massu: Incidents such as mixing in soy sauce and such to make an awful drink happen often.. However this isn't what Tegoshi wants. Instead, he would add in things which are beneficial to the body to achieve his goal of creating a "special drink" people can properly drink.
Yamapi: Yesterday's drink was rea~lly sweet.
Massu: Ah I shall be honest and say that the person who added honey into Yamashita-kun's tea yesterday was.. me. It's for your throat (laughs). By the way, the ingredient Tegoshi added was lemon (laughs).
Koyama: Recently, that guy did such pranks very often. However I would not allow things like "not speaking during MC". I frequently created opportunities for him to talk during the concert tour this time round.
Massu: If it's his solo after MC, Tegoshi would not speak up in order to protect his throat. However, not saying those few sentences don't actually make much difference.. I think he realized that recently (laughs).
Koyama: Tegoshi seems to have achieved some results lately during MC. Yamashita-kun no longer dances when Tegoshi is talking. Ah.. whenever Yamashita-kun feels that someone's topic is boring, he would confirm his dance steps (on the stage).
Massu: Yamashita-kun only dances when I'm talking (laughs).
Yamapi: Ahahaha (bitter laughter). If I have a solo after the MC, I would want to confirm my steps. It's okay, Massu. Because the shige-rate is really high lately.
Koyama: It's okay it's okay because Shige usually talks a lot. As compared to Shige saying something 10 times, it is more precious when Yamapi says it once (laughs). Also, just one sentence by Yamapi has the effect of a home run. For Shige, it's like throwing four balls and entitling the pitcher a walk. In Massu's case..
Yamapi: No, baseball cannot be used as an analogy for Massu. He would be the type who brings in a basketball when playing baseball. He is the outside-of-situation kind of person.
Massu: That's not bad! I want to perform a slamdunk.
Koyama: We already said that everyone's playing baseball! (laughs)
Massu: What, I thought you people were praising me..
===================================
For the arrogant yet tender Ryo. As opposed to his cold side, please share the rarer moments showing his shy side.
Yamapi: For this concert tour, didn't we organize a birthday party for Ryo-chan and tegoshi? I think the Ryo at that time showed his "shyness".
Massu: Didn't we hide our party plan from the two of them? I heard from the staff that Ryo, who came later, was saying "Why did they abandon us" and got angry. However, the moment he opened the door and realized it's a surprise party, his facial expression immediately changed into "Eh? Why? WAH~ Really!?!", something like that.
Koyama: He is someone who is divided (regarding his feelings) (laughs). Also, recently, he often messes around with Shige. When joking, he would suddenly shout "Hey Shige!" as if he's angry with Shige. However, the relationship between those two is really good in the end. Interest-wise, I think Shige and Ryo-chan have similar tastes.
Yamapi: Also, Ryo seems to give really curt replies in response to whatever Massu says during MCs (laughs)
Koyama: Yes yes. "This is not interesting at all, don't ever let me hear this again" and things like that (laughs). From my point of view, these "Okay, let's end" allows us to end the conversation quickly and that helps me a great deal.
Massu: I think I'm already used to his teasing.
===================================
The quick-witted Shige. Are there situations which makes you go "Ah~ of course it's him!"
Massu: He really has profound knowledge. I truly had that feeling when we're watching quiz shows.
Yamapi: That's right! Didn't we watch a quiz show with him yesterday? "What can you make using cauliflowers and sausages?" Only Shige could answer such questions.
Massu: Right! The rest of us would go "What's this, we can make anything, isn't it?" to answer such a ridiculous question but only Shige (would answer cool-y).."A sheep!" (laughs)
Koyama: Gleaming with talent. Of course it's Shige.
Massu: Also, that show used sausages to create something that looks like a pig. My reaction at that time was "kawaii~", yet Shige would say things like "what a dream". That's because the pig was used to make that sausage. Shige's really sugoi!
Yamapi: ... I don't think people reading this would understand your explanation. The sausage which was primarily made from pork is then used to create something resembling a pig, so there's a deeper meaning behind this... That's what you meant right?
Massu: Right right. Eh.. Did I express it wrongly?
Koyama: If you're like this during MC, Yamapi would already be dancing(laughs).
Massu: Ordinary people's reactions would be something like "Eh..Sausages can be used to create something resembling a pig~". However, for Shige, he would immediately link that to pork being the main ingredient in sausages.. This point makes me feel that Shige is really sugoi~.
Koyama: However, when watching quiz shows with Shige, wouldn't we know the answer really really quickly?
Yamapi: Exactly! We would say "Shige, we are now trying to think of the answer, you're not allowed to reveal the answer! Don't reveal! Don't reveal!" If NEWS goes on a game show in the future, Shige would undoubtedly be our group representative.
===================================
Recalling the concert tour
Koyama: Really happy.. During MC, we were able to show our usual selves. Whatever it is, the conversation would be thrown to Shige right at the start.
Massu: Not to me?
Koyama: That's right too. Because (what you say would result in) an awkward atmosphere, I would pick up whatever's funny in what you say to continue.
Massu: ......
Yamapi: Eh, is Massu an entertainer who creates awkward atmospheres?
Massu: Ma, I didn't do that intentionally.
Koyama: How frustrating.
(At this point in time, Tegoshi dressed in the uniform of a high-school girl enters. Seems like he would be wearing that costume on stage for a game the next day and is currently trying it out.)
Tegoshi: (laughing in the voice of a high-school girl) Hii everyone~~
Everyone: AHAHAHHAHAHA!! Sugoi~ You look like a girl!!
Yamapi: Tegoshi, please turn around!
(Tegoshi obediently turns around)
Yamapi: Sugoi~~! Tegoshi, let's go out together for a while!
(Yamapi and Tegoshi held hands and went over to the Jrs' dressing room)
Koyama (after Yamapi returned): Wah~ I laughed so hard! In M.A.D's room, Kato Yukihiro said "Why is there a high school girl in the room!! That shocked me so much that rice grains went into my nose" (laughs).
Yamapi: We then brought him to the guard and told him "This girl seems to be lost" (aughs). The guard went "EH" and was speechless for a moment before he said "ahahaha that's not bad, Tegoshi! Such fun-loving attitude is important!"
Koyama: Speaking of which, if Yamashita-kun dresses up like that..
Yamapi: Hm. I definitely wouldn't do that (laughs)
Koyama: That's true (laughs). I wonder if this talk brought out the atmosphere of NEWS' dressing room.
Yamapi: Mm.. Such times can be considered as interesting moments during the concert tour.
