Q1. If you have a girlfriend, what would be a secret you want to keep between the both of you?
Yabu: The way we call each other. I want us to call each other a totally different name in front of others. Like, she can call me “Yabu-kun” when we are in front of others but sometimes she accidentally calls me the special name she uses when there are others around too (laugh). That’s nice. Also, in dramas and such, before you get married, don’t you attached a “-san” if the guy is your superior or senior at work? I like such situations too ❤ I am not concerned with the way she calls me when it’s just two of us. But normally other than my family, I don’t usually get called “Kota”, so it is kinda embarrassing when I am being called Kota. Even though that’s my own name.
Hikaru: Our weak points. The one which everyone knows about is how I dislike cats, but actually I have quite a number of weak points. Nope, I am not telling (laugh). In the first place, the fact that I am weak with cats was given away because of work, but I really did not want to say it out. But if we date each other, I hope we can have a relationship where both of us show that side to each other, so I will want to keep my weak points a secret between the both of us.
Q2. A lie by your girlfriend which you won’t forgive?
Yabu: Even though she is angry, she says “I am not angry”. If she looks sullen and I ask “Are you angry at something?” and she goes “Nothing…” That’s obviously being angry at something and I think guys will get angry at that (laugh). If she says she is not angry, I think I will also go “Well, then I don’t care”. I am a frank person so I do say it if I am angry. Seems that there are many girls who want the guy to notice what they are angry about, but I don’t know. If you don’t say it I won’t know. But if I say such things, I will probably get bashed by all the girls (laugh). I want them to not lie and say frankly “I am angry!”
Hikaru: When she is actually tired, I probably want her to stop pretending to be okay and saying “I am not tired at all”. If she is tired, whether physically or mentally, I want her to be frank about it and rely on me. Even if she tries to spare a thought for me and hide it, I will feel that i am not reliable and get upset instead. There isn’t anything else. If she tells me beforehand, I wouldn’t even get angry if she goes out to eat with other guys, so there isn’t any reason to lie. Rather than not forgiving her, I will wonder “why do you have to hide it?” The moment we date each other, it means that we have trust in each other so I want to be frank about it, and I want her to be frank too.
Q3. When everyone is around, a sign you give to a girl you like without getting found out by others?
Yabu: Gaze at her as if our eyes are meeting. Then when our eyes finally meet, I will nod and say “un”. I dont know why but it seems like a code between us (laugh). If our eyes meet many times, I think she can tell I am interested in her. If she does that to me too, I think I will get curious too. I will think “I wonder why she is looking so much at me”
Hikaru: I won’t do anything. If she is destined to be with me, instead of me performing those small actions, she will coincidentally be sitting beside me, and we will be able to talk. I will leave it to fate. But if nothing progresses from there, I will conclude that “I thought I like her but I guess it’s wrong”. In the first place even if there is someone I like, I won’t try to appeal to her or confess too. I will just leave it to fate and wait for it to go well naturally. Well, if she doesn’t make the first move, nothing will progress and this will probably drag on for a long time, but I am a really patient person so it’s okay (laugh). It will probably be really hard until it becomes a mutual love but thinking of it from another point of view, if we really start dating, don’t you think it’s gonna be easy? (laugh)
Q4. For a girlfriend, do you an open -type of girl who tells you everything or a secretive mysterious girl?
Yabu: A mysterious girl is better. You will get more interested in her! “Do you hate such things?” and seems like I will take notice of her all the time. It will get uninteresting if she is someone who says everything and it will be okay if I stop a conversation. If I had to choose, I like someone who quietly reads a self-improvement book (laugh). But a secretive girl is hard too. I want her to talk about her own background. At least I want to know where she was born?
Hikaru: An open girl is good. I am unexpectedly shy so if she meets my friends and family, I hope she can take the initiative to be on good terms with them even if I don’t act as the middleman. I would be glad if she’s a bubbly girl who can make the conversations and atmosphere cheerful. She and my friends and family will be important people to me so the most important is for everyone to be on good terms. If she introduces me to her friends and family? ……I don’t think I can work hard there. I have proper manners as an adult but I am shy so I don’t think I am able to talk enthusiastically or be a mood maker there…
Q5. Words which hurt a man’s pride, and which you don’t want a girl to say to you?
Yabu: “You are incompetent”. I am someone who is unable to do something if I can’t. (tn. he uses a phrase here- he’s like a bottle which has its cover tightly shut, and will be unable to open). But it can’t be helped. If you look at me you know right? You see me as being incompetent but yet you chose to be with me. And that’s why you like me right? That’s what I want to say to her. I am definitely not competent! (laugh) Also, I dislike it when she disapproves of my hobbies. I will be really irritated if she asks me “what’s so interesting about soccer?” But there are people who do think that way so if my girlfriend thinks soccer is boring, I will think of something to make her enjoy it.
Hikaru: Words like “Is bass that interesting?” or “Why bass and not guitar?” will hurt me. Nope, before hurting me, she is already rejecting me. It is already out of the question if she can’t differentiate between a guitar and a bass. Even those who don’t play musical instruments can somehow differentiate them right? For such people, there are some situations where I do hope to tell them the merits of the bass, but they wouldn’t like it too.
Confess to xxx-kun!
Yabu > Six TONES
“When I was a guest at Johnnys Island, I exchanged mail addresses with many of the Six TONES members. You all told me "Bring us for a meal”, but I don’t know how to invite you so tell me the dates which you guys want to go on!“
Hikaru> Okada Junichi
"Teach me martial arts. I was taught by you once about two years ago but I thought of working hard on it this year. I think I have more physical strength than I had during that time, so do help me out again. Thank you!”
