Take responsibility for something
A person one should protect, work, a man who lives doing his best to firmly take responsibility for important things, someone like that is amazing. The motivation for this is different for every person, for me the presence of the people around me is important. I think the connection with the staff and my amazing co-stars becomes my power, and thus I can endure. Even though I am saying that, the current me still has a lot to learn. I have to steadily advance my process more and more and show results!
Be confident
I think living means there are many difficulties. For this reason, to be not beaten by one's feelings it's also important to move forward with confidence. Myself, when I compare myself to my past, I have become fairly confident, or rather, I think I have reached a point where I have that strong/resilient spirit/feelings, "Whatever the circumstances/situation, I must do my best". It was formed naturally by my various experiences. I think that in that way I grow a little, but... in spite of it, I still have some way to go, yes (*laughs*).
Be popular with women
As a man, for myself, and then for the people around me, I am certainly doing my best at work every day, but simultaneously somewhere in my heart there is also a feeling of, "Because there are women, I must do my best", honestly (*laughs*). The presence of women becomes a driving force. Nevertheless, for that reason, strangely I don't want to flatter them/flirt with them, but I don't want to behave in a manner that is disliked by women, to say it more directly, I want to be popular with women, I want to be a charming man. Of course that's like a man, so let's become popular (*laughs*).

As a part of an expression of love, I turned up skirts
When I was in kindergarten, I turned up the skirt of a girl (*laughs*). At that time I liked that girl, it was done as part of an expression of love. Indeed, it is what a child would think, right? Furthermore, I remember that in the end I also kissed that girl. Through this, it became mutual love, right (*laughs*).
