[Trans] '33 sides of me' - Ore Ore J-Web
To celebrate "It's Me, It's Me" open in Japan, here the English translation of Kame's Mission #16!
The special Ore Ore J-Web site was updated every day, from April 22 to May 24.
The ABUSE of onomatopoeias he does here is amazing, lol. I tried to keep them as much as I could (also because they can’t be translated most of time because he *invents* his onomatopoeias, LOL. I saw Japanese fans going “…??” at them too xD).
Mission No.16
"I, Kamenashi Kazuya, will explain you these 33 sides of me!"
The 33 sides of him that Kamenashi gave will be uploaded one by one every day! The plan is to end the mission the day before the movie opens. Will he...?!
Me 1. “Kakkotsukeman” [T/N: man acting cool]
I have a side of me that, since when I was a kid, begins anything starting from the style. Even if I was playing baseball I liked more practical assessment than basis. Or playing showily like catching the ball not from the front but with an opposite single. I’m such a person.
Me 2. “Spoiled child”
As expected, there are moments that I think I want to be spoiled. For example when I’m tired, there are moments I want to become henya~. In those moments I spoil myself with my pets, unyeeeeeee~. By the way, during the movie “It’s Me, It’s Me” filming, I spoiled myself with a hammock (laughs)
Me 3. “Bully”
Since the past I end up bullying the girl I like. Even after becoming an adult, I somewhat bully people. I feel I want to bully. For example, even if I’m said “I want to meet you” I want to say at least one word like “No, I can’t meet you”. At the end I go to meet her, but I say “I can’t meet you, it’s impossible!”.
When I go to buy something to a convenience store with my friends using the car, I move the car ahead while my friend is doing shopping. Like I’m slightly proceeding ahead. So he goes like “oooi!” (laughs)
Also, hiding Nakamaru-kun’s pants after the shower taken after a live (laughs). Taguchi does it most, but I sometimes take part to that too.
I also like pranks. Like acting a bit coldly and stuff.
Me 4. “Moody”
I want to be moody. It’s my desire to be like that, and I do am like that, so I want to be moody. I don’t plan, I just follow my mood!
Me 5. “Sensitive to cold”
Even though it’s not as cold as to say it, shivers just come faster. Like, brr brr brr brr~~~. When cold weather comes I stay under the futon a lot, and I moreover switch the heater on. I also like kotatsu. Season-wise, I suppose spring is the best. Maybe I guess I hate seasons with extreme temperatures.
Me 6. “Sensitive to hot”
I hate hot bed. I end up kicking the bedding away like bwah. I like sleeping with my legs over the bedding. Moreover, if I wake up early in the morning in summer I bathe. I normally wear sea pants and bathe in the veranda. Brushing teeth in that status feels good.
Me 7. “Useless human being”
There are moments I think I want to be an useless human being. Meaningless and inefficient. I desire moments such as people think “what’s with this guy?!?!”. Moreover actually, such moments exist inside of me.
For example, if it’s 22pm and I think “I should take a bath…”, I just stay there [without taking it] and think “I want to take a bath…” (laughs). Even thinking “I must take a bath!”, I think “after the bath and after drying, ah! What bathing soap should I use today~, it must feel good~, I also want to read a book~”, I think about what comes after too but I can’t stand up anyway.
Even if I think “okay, after this TV program I take a bath!”, when I see the “soon after this!” [message] at the end of the TV program, I kind of want to watch the following program too… (laughs). And before I realize it’s already 3 am.
I do think I am a useless human being. Like “what are you doing!? Me!!!”. I want to take a bath…
But when you are always doing everything at perfection, that becomes given for granted and I end up not wanting to be considered perfect, moreover the space to grow I have inside of me would disappear and won’t be fun anymore.
Me. 8 “Perfectionist”
I have a useless side of me, but on the other hand once I’ve started I won’t stop. Once I entered the bath, I want to do everything perfectly, I do stretching, I read a book. I sometimes also start cleaning my house. Once I’ve started it’s bad.
Because when I take a bath I clean myself, don’t I? Doing so, my cleaning switch activates. I clean dishes, something like that I want to be in a good-feeling condition when I wake up in the morning too. Even clothes, it’s unbelievable for me to leave clothes here and there in the living room.
When I want to be useless, I throw them BAM there on purpose, or anyway mess up the room and enjoy my being useless, but when my perfectionist switch is on, I’m the exact opposite.
Recently even the agency car that the manager drives, I thought “I’d be so good it was cleaned up, though…” and I ended up beginning cleaning it. It was free time so it’d have been better if I had slept, but I said “let me clean it!” and in one hour I DWAA~H [cleaned it].
Becoming useless, being perfectionist, I don’t have an average rhythm so it must be harsh for who’s around me (laughs). But it’s because I think this is fascinating!
Me who enjoys both being useless and being perfect, 27 years old… something like this (laughs).
Me. 9 “Flexible”
I basically have an ideal flexibility. This “It’s Me, It’s Me” acting is like that, but I don’t live solidly cemented, or better I don’t really create rules like “This must be like this, that must not be like that”.
Even travelling overseas I go empty-hands. That’s more fun.
I also go to meetings [to plan] lives without thinking beforehand. Because once I seat and the meeting for the lives start, many things pop up like DWAA~H. similarly to my perfectionist side, when my switch turns on, DU~WADUWA, many ideas pop up. Something like my “worries” microchip changes.
I normally unconsciously absorb many things, but if I become conscious of “I shall do like this”, it’s impossible for me.
Me. 10 “Baseball lover”
I like baseball. I practice swinging at home too. When my nephew comes to my house, I normally play baseball, even if it’s just a soft ball. My house is big (laughs).
I am doing it as job too, I have many baseball players as friends, I guess it’s already fine even without explaining it!
Me. 11 “Lazy”
Once I start I enjoy more than everyone, but until I get there… “what should I do?”
During my days off I end up just letting my mobile there and ignore it. Even just looking at my mobile is too much. I mean, if I don’t answer even though I saw the phone it feels bad, I feel guilty. Let’s say I put it in a condition I won’t even notice if it rings (laughs). Something like “I will spend my time as I want!”. Basically, more than being lazy, I won’t let anyone catch me!
Me. 12 “Like being alone”
I like being alone. I like the feeling of obtaining something from loneliness. In those moments of solitude I think I must do something, I get into a situation I desire something. Especially when I’m very busy there are moments I think I want to be alone. When I’m alone I think about many things, but I don’t hate that state of mind.
Also of course, if I’m alone I don’t have to care about people. But I am often said I care [about people] a lot, but normally I don’t have the perception I am living caring for others.
I like being able, in my moment alone, to doing anything all alone and as I like; and I like the conceptions, images, desire born by solitude.
Me. 13 “Feels lonely easily”
If times of solitude continue, I feel lonely (laughs). I think I want to meet someone, because as basis I like being with people. This is why I often meet up with my family. Since I was raised up inside a noisy family, as expected I guess somewhere in my roots there’s a side of me that feels lonely easily.
Even though I like being alone, it’s partial. But I want both of those times! It’s something like, I want to know the high-class restaurant but I also want to know places cooking gyuudon. Actually, even what I am saying right now presents extreme situations in both senses. This is why I am often said I am weird (laughs).
[T/N: “extreme situations in both senses”, meaning, he both has times he wants to be completely alone, and moments he wants to be surrounded with lots of people.]
Me. 14 “KAT-TUN”
I’m KAT-TUN. When I’m with the members I can become an idiot, but also my switch activates more than when I’m alone. Inside the group I am a sort of the “youngest child” character, but I guess I also have an “oldest brother”-like side too.
There are moments I am the stupidest more than anyone else, but I am also the most serious one; I am the one that does the most useless stuff more than anyone else, but I am also the one that settles things most. When I’m a KAT-TUN member I am both the extremes. For this reason I always think “it must be difficult for the members, I am sorry”. But I guess that everyone got used to it already.
Me. 15 “I like cuisine”
I like cooking. It becomes a stress relief.
If I am asked “cook the same thing again!” or “what have you cooked?” I get a bit lost, I guess it’s something like: I cook what I want to eat the moment I want to eat with certain ingredients. Totally chef’s whim (laughs)
There are moments when I think “I want to eat this no matter what!” and I cook looking at the recipe, but when I am seized by the impulse “I want to cook something!” I just cook without looking at recipes.
I use my sense with the ingredients I like, as in “what will turn out being if I add this?” and if it’s bad, “I have to add something!”. I like original creations!
People… say my cuisine is delicious (laughs). But recently when I prepared gyoza they stuck together and it was bothersome. I had no time either so I thought if I used more water they would come loose. I added water but they didn’t come loose at all, they turned out being something like solid boiled gyoza (laughs).
At that point I thought of making boiled gyoza instead and inside of me I shift-changed into “boiled gyoza” [mood], but as expected I wanted to eat grilled gyoza. But I couldn’t enter in the state of mind of cooking grilled gyoza again.
It would be okay if they were grilled gyoza, but boiled gyoza are heavy so at the end I left some there.
Me. 16 “Fashionable”
I like fashion. I want to wear what I like and I want to be fashionable. I like clothes. I am the best jeanist, you know (laughs)
Me. 17 “Lame”
Sometimes it happens I choose stuff PAPAPAN inside of my mind without checking the mirror, think “okay!” and go out. But in the elevator there is a mirror and the moment I look at it I think “Wah! Lame!” and go back home. Something like “I was wrong!” (laughs)
There are also times I go out wearing a simple sweatshirt. I have fashionable sweatshirts too, but there are moments I want to be simple when I go to places like my parents’ house. There are moments I want clothes like the ones I wore in the past.
Me. 18 “Starting from style”
[T/N: when you start something new (i.e., a new study, sport, challenge, etc.), more than the essence, you approach it from the style/appearance/manner, or get into it from its appearance, to get in the right state of mind. For example, buying brand new pots before starting a cuisine course, etc.]
As expected I get into things from the style. In order to improve myself, in order to draw out my unknown potential, I keep this starting from the style very dear.
But for the character creation for the movie “It’s Me, it’s Me”, regarding the three main characters Hitoshi, Daiki and Nao, is the perfect opposite; I projected them outside [starting] from the role and then created costumes and appearance.
The other characters are all from the appearance. I created the other 30 characters with the inverse conception [I used for] Hitoshi Daiki and Nao.
As expected the important part is the beginning. The process is of course important too, but the “beginning [entrance]” in whatever includes work is very important. For this reason, when I’m said “I’ll do this”, if something different happens, inside of me that moment of beginning is a failure. I understand by myself that I have no ability in it.
When more power than I predicted comes up, maybe are the moments I started from the style or the beginning was good. I have the feeling that in those moments everything will necessarily get better and better.
Me.19 “Gross”
I am often said, for example by staff around me, that I’m gross. Like, it seems that me looking at magazines and smirking is gross (laughs). But this surely is something everyone does!
Indeed, I myself think that I am gross… and think “Ah, I have to get a grip on myself” (laughs)
Me.20 “I like baths”
I love baths. I want to stay in the bathtub more than 1 hour every day. Also, during free time between one work and the other, or whenever I have some free time, I go to the bathtub at once.
This because bathtub is also the place I turn my switch on and off. Well, but about loving baths, maybe I lose against that girl in that anime~
Me.21 “I like women”
As expected, I want to be considered cool by women so I think I want to be cool, and the very existence of women, including fans, becomes my energy.
Me.22 “Family lover”
I really like the time I am with my family. So I always try to create such a time, even consciously. Previously the second brother, the fourth brother and I, plus some friends invited from our hometown, reserved our hometown baseball field and played baseball.
Me.23 “Dog lover”
I have dogs and I like dogs. I like to bury my face in the doggy’s belly. I also like to take strolls with them. So when the weather is nice or I have time I go out for a stroll. Also, I roll on the floor with them. They refresh me continuously.
My dogs’ character is cat-like. They come to me when they want to, when they don’t want they stay away. They say “I’m going to sleep!”, and even though they disappear no matter how much I hug them, when I wake up in the morning and I find them sleeping crouched near my face, I want to hug them so much.
Me.24 “Cat lover”
I like cats. I’ve never had them but cats are cute. If you prepare them food they’ll eat at their preferred timing, I like this about cats. They sleep when they want to sleep, they go out for a stroll when they want to go out for a stroll, when they are hungry they eat, I somewhat think that their natural attitude of being free is good.
Me.25 “Kids lover”
I like kids. I have nieces and nephew, but since the past there have been the kids of my relatives, so I grew up in a period of time there always were small kids around me. So it’s like I’m always playing with small kids.
Special techniques? I don’t have them~! Infant babies will generally smile to you, right?
Me.26 “Someone who does anything”
I am a caster but I also do theatrical plays, I also dance and sing, I also act. Since I like doing what I am requested to do, I suppose this side of me is a “someone who does anything”.
I basically like the flow of events in which I challenge what I am asked by someone.
Me. 27 “Willing to do”
I am the kind of person that wants to do stuff. I always think “I’ll do it for you”. When I was a kid too, in my school report was often written “He isn’t quiet” or “he’s restless”; I want to be entrusted with something, I want to do something for others.
For example if I happen to see a woman waiting at the bus stop while I am driving my car, I think “she’s waiting for the bus, but will she make it in time? Right now my passenger seat is free, shall I give her a lift?” (laughs)
I actually don’t do it, but I always have such disposition. More than wanting to become a good guy, maybe I just interfere.
Me. 28 “Willing that someone does something for me”
I have a side of me that likes having something done by people. I really like that someone thinks fondly of me and does something for me. Recently too, my mother came to my home to do cleanings, so when I came back home my house was really clean and I was happy.
Me. 29 “I like massages”
Since I’ve always played baseball since when I was young, my mother always massaged me.
[I like them to the point] I want to receive massages every day, but right now it’s around 2 times in a week, I guess. I basically like to have people touching my body. So I like everything, from oil to shiatsu to massages.
Me. 30 “Furniture lover”
I have a side of me who likes furniture. I like wooden furniture or black furniture. Tables and sofas, I enjoy even just looking at them. I daydream.
I can’t throw away my old furniture either, so for example I have 2 sofas at home.
Even if I don’t buy, I regularly go to check furniture shops; I somewhat want to do a sort of window shopping, so I sometimes do it.
Me.31 “I like cameras”
I like cameras. I have always had interest in cameras, but when I was filming the drama “Kindaichi shonen jikenbo”, the producers liked cameras and they invited me “let’s do it together!”, that was the start. That time I bought my first camera and since then, right now I have around 4 cameras.
Recently I like taking pictures of people’s heart (laughs). Or better, I often take pictures of sceneries. I also took some when I went overseas recently. At the hotel I stayed in Italy, a picture of the bed I just woke up from…
Me. 32 “Jack-of-all-trades and master of none”
How to say, I think I am a jack-of-all-trades and master of none. I am said “You are skilled!” but I just can do a part of the beginning. From that point on efforts are needed to continue and reach the higher level, but I can do a part of the beginning. Just a part. But I don’t hate that side of me (laughs).
Me.33 “Kamenashi Kazuya”
As expected, I'm Kamenashi Kazuya. Whatever nature I might have, I’m going to face everything as Kamenashi Kazuya. I am myself.
Who am I? Kamenashi Kazuya, right? My name is KA-ME-NA-SHI-KA-ZU-YA!
I will never lose, not in rainy days nor windy days. Whatever I might be said, I am Kamenashi Kazuya. Moreover, I won’t lose against Kamenashi Kazuya. But Kamenashi Kazuya wins against Kamenashi Kazuya!
Kamenashi Kazuya
--------------------------------------------
My favourite is probably #33. I really liked it, it's so motivating.
The special Ore Ore J-Web site was updated every day, from April 22 to May 24.
The ABUSE of onomatopoeias he does here is amazing, lol. I tried to keep them as much as I could (also because they can’t be translated most of time because he *invents* his onomatopoeias, LOL. I saw Japanese fans going “…??” at them too xD).
Mission No.16
"I, Kamenashi Kazuya, will explain you these 33 sides of me!"
The 33 sides of him that Kamenashi gave will be uploaded one by one every day! The plan is to end the mission the day before the movie opens. Will he...?!

There are also times I go out wearing a simple sweatshirt. I have fashionable sweatshirts too, but there are moments I want to be simple when I go to places like my parents’ house. There are moments I want clothes like the ones I wore in the past.
Me. 18 “Starting from style”
[T/N: when you start something new (i.e., a new study, sport, challenge, etc.), more than the essence, you approach it from the style/appearance/manner, or get into it from its appearance, to get in the right state of mind. For example, buying brand new pots before starting a cuisine course, etc.]

Me.20 “I like baths”
I love baths. I want to stay in the bathtub more than 1 hour every day. Also, during free time between one work and the other, or whenever I have some free time, I go to the bathtub at once.
This because bathtub is also the place I turn my switch on and off. Well, but about loving baths, maybe I lose against that girl in that anime~
Me.21 “I like women”
As expected, I want to be considered cool by women so I think I want to be cool, and the very existence of women, including fans, becomes my energy.
Me.22 “Family lover”
I really like the time I am with my family. So I always try to create such a time, even consciously. Previously the second brother, the fourth brother and I, plus some friends invited from our hometown, reserved our hometown baseball field and played baseball.
Me.23 “Dog lover”
I have dogs and I like dogs. I like to bury my face in the doggy’s belly. I also like to take strolls with them. So when the weather is nice or I have time I go out for a stroll. Also, I roll on the floor with them. They refresh me continuously.
My dogs’ character is cat-like. They come to me when they want to, when they don’t want they stay away. They say “I’m going to sleep!”, and even though they disappear no matter how much I hug them, when I wake up in the morning and I find them sleeping crouched near my face, I want to hug them so much.
Me.24 “Cat lover”
I like cats. I’ve never had them but cats are cute. If you prepare them food they’ll eat at their preferred timing, I like this about cats. They sleep when they want to sleep, they go out for a stroll when they want to go out for a stroll, when they are hungry they eat, I somewhat think that their natural attitude of being free is good.
Me.25 “Kids lover”
I like kids. I have nieces and nephew, but since the past there have been the kids of my relatives, so I grew up in a period of time there always were small kids around me. So it’s like I’m always playing with small kids.
Special techniques? I don’t have them~! Infant babies will generally smile to you, right?
Me.26 “Someone who does anything”
I am a caster but I also do theatrical plays, I also dance and sing, I also act. Since I like doing what I am requested to do, I suppose this side of me is a “someone who does anything”.
I basically like the flow of events in which I challenge what I am asked by someone.
Me. 27 “Willing to do”
I am the kind of person that wants to do stuff. I always think “I’ll do it for you”. When I was a kid too, in my school report was often written “He isn’t quiet” or “he’s restless”; I want to be entrusted with something, I want to do something for others.
For example if I happen to see a woman waiting at the bus stop while I am driving my car, I think “she’s waiting for the bus, but will she make it in time? Right now my passenger seat is free, shall I give her a lift?” (laughs)
I actually don’t do it, but I always have such disposition. More than wanting to become a good guy, maybe I just interfere.
Me. 28 “Willing that someone does something for me”
I have a side of me that likes having something done by people. I really like that someone thinks fondly of me and does something for me. Recently too, my mother came to my home to do cleanings, so when I came back home my house was really clean and I was happy.
Me. 29 “I like massages”
Since I’ve always played baseball since when I was young, my mother always massaged me.
[I like them to the point] I want to receive massages every day, but right now it’s around 2 times in a week, I guess. I basically like to have people touching my body. So I like everything, from oil to shiatsu to massages.
Me. 30 “Furniture lover”
I have a side of me who likes furniture. I like wooden furniture or black furniture. Tables and sofas, I enjoy even just looking at them. I daydream.
I can’t throw away my old furniture either, so for example I have 2 sofas at home.
Even if I don’t buy, I regularly go to check furniture shops; I somewhat want to do a sort of window shopping, so I sometimes do it.
Me.31 “I like cameras”
I like cameras. I have always had interest in cameras, but when I was filming the drama “Kindaichi shonen jikenbo”, the producers liked cameras and they invited me “let’s do it together!”, that was the start. That time I bought my first camera and since then, right now I have around 4 cameras.
Recently I like taking pictures of people’s heart (laughs). Or better, I often take pictures of sceneries. I also took some when I went overseas recently. At the hotel I stayed in Italy, a picture of the bed I just woke up from…
Me. 32 “Jack-of-all-trades and master of none”
How to say, I think I am a jack-of-all-trades and master of none. I am said “You are skilled!” but I just can do a part of the beginning. From that point on efforts are needed to continue and reach the higher level, but I can do a part of the beginning. Just a part. But I don’t hate that side of me (laughs).
Me.33 “Kamenashi Kazuya”
As expected, I'm Kamenashi Kazuya. Whatever nature I might have, I’m going to face everything as Kamenashi Kazuya. I am myself.
Who am I? Kamenashi Kazuya, right? My name is KA-ME-NA-SHI-KA-ZU-YA!
I will never lose, not in rainy days nor windy days. Whatever I might be said, I am Kamenashi Kazuya. Moreover, I won’t lose against Kamenashi Kazuya. But Kamenashi Kazuya wins against Kamenashi Kazuya!
Kamenashi Kazuya
