[Kame] Fine 2008.12
So I decided to just post this in my own journal~ I'm planning on revising some of the older translations I did before, so I guess they'll end up here too c:
This is just part of an interview Kame did about his blood type and how it effects his outlook on things. I found it quite interesting~ and he had to do some tick-box type questionnaire regarding it too.
This is by no means the full interview, but I'm missing parts here and there, so I thought I'd share what I'd got so far ;A;
I'd suggest reading my long babbling notes at the foot of the page, boring as they are..
First is the inquiry!
"Are you aware of the type B character?"
Kamenashi-kun, would you say you're like a type B ?
Kamenashi: It's fifty-fifty. There are days I'd really say I am, but also days where I'd say "Am I really a type B? I don't get it."
Is there ever a situation where you're mistaken for a type A?
Kamenashi: No, no *laugh*. Quite often as a type O, but up until now, I've never been mistaken for a type A.
At a time when you'd say you're a type B, what kind of thing would you say?
Kamenashi: Because I don't notice it, I don't really know. Nn~ Maybe it's the time when I'm 'my pace'? Of course when I'm working I don't think I'm 'my pace' at all *laugh*. But, it may be that it makes me 'my pace'. It's a thing you don't notice.
Is saying that you're a type B something that you're conscious of doing?
Kamenashi: Yes. Speaking of, look at this ring.
A type B ring! Does that big B stand for type B ?
Kamenashi: No, although this brand of ring's initial is B, when I saw this I bought it thinking 'I'm a type B, and the design is cute'. Since then, it's my favourite and I always wear it.
So you are aware of it~
Kamenashi: Just recently. Because formerly, being a type B was bad. But recently, it's said that it doesn't really matter, so it seems it's better to be a B type *laughs*. Saying that, it also seems like there are getting to be more type B's. Until now it was thought bad for a woman to be a type B, but people I get on with don't seem to think that. Ah? I guess I am.
This is Kamenashi-kun's question by question!
Are these the tendancies a type B has~?
Which would you say... ?
● You feel that data is more important than the actual result. YES.
● You're more interested in minority over majority. YES
● You'd rather be recognized than praised. YES
● You want to be liked for yourself rather than your appearance. YES
● You get a new cell phone and don't read the users manual first. YES
● On a date you're only interested in the one persons actions. YES
● You dislike meddling. YES
● I'm no good at saving money. NO
● Human nature/kindess is real. YES
● You have something you would risk your life to achieve. YES
● It's alright to lose your pride. NO
● Actually, the process is more important than the result. YES
● I typically talk with passion. YES
● I don't want to be thought of as normal. YES
● I want to think beyond common sense. YES
● Always return favours. YES
● I buy things I don't need. YES
● I want to try new products immediately. no answer (Kame's comment; It's vague. Depends on the item.)
● You'll definitely keep a 'Don't tell anyone!' secret. YES
● People can't be 100% understood. YES
● But that 100% is my goal. YES
● When 'I like you' is said, feeling are born. YES
● I don't find it embarrassing to cry when deeply moved. YES
● You want to reveal everything about yourself. no answer (Kame's comment; If it wasn't for this job, I wonder if it would be YES~)
● I'd rather live a happy life in preference to success. no answer (Kame's comment; Because success is happiness, I guess there's not an answer to that.)
From Wikipedia;
There is a popular belief in Japan that a person's ABO blood type or ketsueki-gata (血液型) is predictive of their personality, temperament, and compatibility with others. [...] Discussion of blood types is widely popular in women's magazines as a way of gauging relationship compatibility with a potential or current partner. Morning television shows feature blood type horoscopes, and similar horoscopes are published daily in newspapers.
As a type B, Kame's best traits would be wild, active and a doer, and his worst traits selfish and irresponsible. He said he'd never been mistaken as an A type when they asked, and a type A's best traits are being earnest, creative and sensible, while the worst traits are fastidiousness and being overearnest. ..and just while I've got the page open, he said he's often mistaken for a type O (which is Jin's type yes, that had to get a mention.. ) which has the best traits as being agreeable, sociable and optimistic, and the worst are being vain and rude.
And this is the ring Kame was referring to ♥
