Wink Up 2005 08 - "Wonderland" Koyama x Masuda x Kato
Koyama: What type of girl do you guys like?
Masuda: If I'm talking about the outer appearance, then I like girls who're a bit chubby.
Koyama: I think softer girls are great too.
Kato: I would choose girls who're a bit smaller, probably. This is the difference between people who are currently high school students and those who are not, ne.
Koyama: Ah, when you're putting it that way... Oh yeah, Shige is used to an environment with lots of girls in uniforms.
Kato: Yes, there's always a lot of them nearby.
Koyama: Hmm, I have something I want to say. That is, up to the time when you graduate, how much love for girls in uniforms will you have accumulated? (laugh) Right right, any way you put it you're still an ossan [old man]... though you've been making fun of yourself from the beginning (laugh) [WTF Koyama makes no sense XD]
Masuda: When there's a girl in uniform around, I look her way without even meaning to. (laugh)
Kato: What? Is that so. Then you've probably still got a lingering love! (laugh) [...I guess for girls in uniforms?]
Koyama: Yeah! Were you popular with the female classmates in high school, Massu?
Masuda: Now that you mention it, my school's male student ratio was very high! It was almost 8 : 2.
Kato: Really? My school has a lot of female students.
Koyama: That makes me a bit angry (laugh) Before I transferred, the male-female ratio was 9 : 1. We were sighing about it everyday (laugh) Then after I transferred it was more of a half/half thing. Changing from 9 : 1 to 5 : 5 gave us a "hoho" kind of feeling (laugh). It's really awesome to have a place with lots of girls.
Kato: What kind of suggestions should we give to current high school female students to attract guys' attentions? I think the length of skirts is very important, it's not too good to be too short.
Masuda: Right right, aren't there a lot of girls with skirts that are too short? Speaking of which, every girl has a skirt length that suits themself.
Koyama: They do they do. This doesn't have anything to do with how thick or thin your legs are. Plus girls usually wear butterfly bows right? When they see a few girls wearing ties, guys would contrarily think "Ooh~!" What, is this too specific? (laugh)
Masuda: I get it I get it I get it I get it!
Kato: Massu really understands! (laugh) I really like girls wearing long coats!
Masuda & Koyama: I get it!
Kato: When you have someone you like, what would it be like? If you have someone you like, Massu, you'd probably be the touchy-feely type! Like when you're calling her, you'd pat her shoulder naturally or something similar.
Masuda: That's not true! I actually won't be able to do stuff like this to a girl I like! I think I probably won't even take the initiative to hold her hand! What about you, Koyama?
Koyama: I think I would most likely actively talk to her even if it kills me. Though I want to act cool, I would probably end up talking a lot, and would be the type that goes around in circles (laugh) [in other words, he'll ramble a lot and keep going on tangents] Shige looks like he'll be good at acting!
Masuda: Shige will definitely act cool!
Kato: What! "act"... But it's true that I really won't force myself to talk!
Masuda: I'm not the time to take initiative and talk a lot either. If at the beginning the girl was the one who talked a lot, it would probably help me. But as a guy I can't not take initiative.
Koyama: About that, I've always taken the initiative every since I was young (laugh) Have you guys had the experience of confessing your love and getting your heart broken? Of course I do!
Kato: Speaking of which, everyone should probably have at least experienced it at least once!
Masuda: No, that is, I, confession...
Kato & Koyama: You've never done it?
Masuda: ...No.
Kato: Still? Though I'm saying that, mine had happened ages ago (laugh)
Koyama: When it comes to talking about girls, we're really just all talk, aren't we? (laugh)
Masuda: Right right. None of us would go ahead and make our moves.
Kato: Because we're a chicken group (laugh)
Masuda: Just like the whole high school student "That girl's not bad!" "Go, go!" "Ah! ...Nah, I can't~" thing (laugh)
Koyama: To be honest, I think hanging out with guys is more fun right now!
Kato: But if I fall in love at first sight with a girl, and think "that's the one", I'll probably be very assertive! Wouldn't everyone be like that too?
Koyama: What? I wouldn't.
Kato: Though I've never done it in real life, if I have this kind of feeling, I think I'll have the power to be assertive!
Masuda: What kind of thing would you say to her?
Kato: "Hi, please be my friend."
Koyama: No way no way no way no way! Shige's awesome!
Kato: But I absolutely won't let her misunderstand. And there's no way that I could just tell her "please go out with me" right then and there! Love at first sight and dating is two different things. I don't like dating without being sure about her personality first. So we'll start off as friends...
Masuda: I probably can't either. When you're on a date, Shige, where would you go?
Kato: A trendy cafe. (laugh) we'll probably sit down in a trendy cafe with a nice atmosphere and drink something.
Masuda: What if you absolutely had to dance at that cafe? What would you do then?
Kato: Why would you dance in a cafe! What's with that? Massu, did you get it mixed up with "club"? (laugh)
Masuda: Ah, is that so...
Kato: Getting a cake prepared in a cafe on my girlfriend's birthday, and bringing it out on my cue~
Koyama: So cool~
Kato: Because I'm super cool Shigeaki (laugh) This is my dream. Massu's would be riding a bike, probably? (laugh)
Masuda: A buffet would be pretty good~ But going to a pet store's not bad either! Because I'm the only one who doesn't keep a pet in NEWS. But lately I've had a bit of a change of mind! Like a seal or something similar (laugh)
Kato: Seal! It's not because you look similar to one, is it? (laugh)
Masuda: Look! Seal! (starts imitating a seal)
Kato & Koyama: Ahahahahaha~
Kato: No, it's too awesome, too funny~~~
Koyama: Massu, let me take a picture ! (laugh)
Masuda: Did you know? Mother seals' breasts have a 40% fat percentage!
Koyama: How would they raise up their chests?
Masuda: Like this~ (starts imitating a seal again)
Kato: Heeeeee~~~ Massu's seal is too funny!
Koyama: Then wouldn't it be great to go to the aquarium as a date?
Masuda: A while ago, four of us guys went together.
Koyama: Were there seals?
Masuda: Yup yup.
Koyama: Eh? What was it like?
Masuda: Like this. They swam straight! (imitates a seal swimming straight for awhile) Ha~ I'm tired. (laugh)
Koyama: No~ It's really funny! In the end it wasn't from talking about girls, but talking about seals that made us all enthusiastic (laugh) Though this is very similar to our style.
Kato: Massu, you should practice more often, then you can do it during our MCs! (laugh)
Masuda: Okay! Until the next concert tour, I will work hard on practicing my seal skills! (laugh)
