The time used for walking one stop might be my fortune
● My image of a celebrity. Diamond, chandelier, champagne, a pool in the house and Jacuzzi…. We used clothes with a gorgeous feeling and set for this concert tour and we thought about various things related to celebrities. In the end, I think it’s okay even if I can’t be a celebrity. Of course, such as wanting to live in a big house, or that it’ll be nice if I have a villa in Hawaii which I like very much, although I have such dreams, I do not want to live a celebrity lifestyle where once I become rich, I don’t work anymore and just play. A life whereby a man does not have any job he wants to do, had gotten hold of everything and do not have a goal is boring. I entered the Jr. with an aim of wanting to appear in a drama, and after appearing in a drama, I had a next aim of wanting to debut, wanting to appear in a movie, wanting to hold a concert in Tokyo Dome…, after achieving an aim, I work hard towards the next aim once again. Well, even if I turn into an extremely rich celebrity, I’ll find something as my next aim, I have the confidence to do my work smoothly and successfully.
● A thing that I receive which makes me happy is, as expected, not something which can be bought with money. For example, seeing the smiles of the fans during concerts, or being told by an Oji-san whom I do not know on the street, “I’ve watched your drama”. Such things can’t be exchanged with money. Something which can be bought with money and I have wanted for a long time, is a house as a present for my Kaa-chan who have always been taking care of me.
● I feel that I am quite generous. If I eat a meal with my juniors, I would definitely pay. I don’t feel that I've suffered any loss. Because I was also given a treat by my seniors before, I’m just doing the same thing to my juniors. If a junior, whom I have treated before, does not give a treat to his own juniors, I might think “OI!” like this (laughs). Well, I didn’t treat them to extremely expensive things though. I travel by train often, like a commoner. Compared to dropping off at the station nearest to my house, I drop off one station before it and walk home. It’s not that I’m saving on the train fare! It’s a distance just right for walking and pondering on things on the way. I can think about various things during the period of time used for walking from a stop to another. That valuable period of time is not sold anywhere~
If you were to spend 1 million yen in 1 day
Bribing manager-san!? 1 million yen
I want to use 1 million yen to go on a trip with the members but firstly you have to obtain vacation right? That’s why, I’ll bribe manager-san and obtain day offs (laughs). If we can get leave, paying for the traveling fees myself is OK!
