■ To me, the excellent combination is OO + OO!
“Mabudachi + Karaoke”, this is the strongest combination. But you’re already singing at work… although I may be retorted like this, singing at work and singing at Karaoke is, as expected, completely different. I can sing other songs which isn’t mine normally. But “weeeek” is often requested. At the beginning it was tough, I couldn’t sing it alone. But lately I am able to pace my breathing perfectly, so I could sing it alone (laughs).
■ When the wave of adversity attacks you, you will stand up to it bravely? Or…?
I think I am the type who attacks from the front. A rebel spirit? There’s most likely a part like that in me. Although in my mind I understand, “things I hate, I just HATE it” this way of thinking is very strong too. When I went to a very accurate fortune teller to be looked at, he said this to me, “Your previous incarnation is a swordsman, a person who faced 300 opponents and fought alone and lost his life eventually. That’s why you would butt into things which you know is impossible, please take note of this point”. Somehow it’s quite accurate that it’s scary (laughs).
■ I want to go this kind of place in year 2009!
NEWS’ concert tour to Okinawa! It’s nice, I want to go~ This kind of shouting can be added in, “ ei ya~sa~sa, hahahaha”. “BEACH ANGEL” is very very suited right. Then, having a “SNOW EXPRESS~ Southern countries version” is not bad too isn’t it (laughs)?
■ Recent happenings
Right now we’re in the middle of the nationwide concert tour but in the MC too, I felt our 5 years growth. KAT-TUN debuted after they were formed for many years right? The relationship between our members right now is finally on the same level as them at that point of time. Group unity has strengthened too. When I stand on the stage and watch the members, I would think this way, “NEWS, cool right” (laughs). That 5 people, their outer appearance and inner self are cool too. People in the world still do not know many parts about NEWS yet. These parts which people do not know, it’ll be nice if we can have the chance to let more people know. For example, recently I have felt strongly that it’ll be great to do a NEWS’ TV program. Eh, if it’s a variety show full of laughter? … That we have to discuss (laughs). But, we have members like Shige who is an expert in this aspect too, I think it’ll definitely turn into something very interesting.
