(RED) An embarrassing story
I talked about it in a Winkup before, Jin was eating Juuwari soba. I've always always thought that Juuwari soba was a soba divided in 10 (lol). Actually it means that it has 100% of soba powder, right. So I told Jin: "But this isn't parted in 10!", he told me "Idot, you're wrong!" and then explained me. I can still forget Jin's face full of pride, it seemed like he won over life (lol). Anyway I taught that guy 10 times more stuff (lol)! Just some time ago he asked me: "Hey, what does "Teigi (=definition)" mean?" and that time we searched for it all together.
(BLUE) An event that made you blanch
This year I spent my New Year's holidays in Oosaka, when I came back to Tokyo with the Shinkansen I was shocked to see it completely full. It was impossible, I could come back home riding on the deck. I learnt: "Never underestimate a homecoming on the New Year's day".
A memory from the album COLOR
The picture for its jacket was monochrome, only each member's shadows were colored. Truth is that the one to have that idea was me...here you are a little info (lol). In that album there's also "Weeek", the song is often used as BGM when NEWS appear in TV, I feel it became our representive song. There won't be a song that'll surpass it! Then, talking about colors, recently I like the match of red and black. My car is like that. The interior are in black leather but the stitches are red. I have only one red T-shirt but the coordination of black and red kinda calms me down.
Things happened recently
I'm meeting with Pi pretty often. Once he suddenly called me: "Hey, everybody's here, come!" but when I arrived there in a rush he already went away (lol). I sent him a mail: "You aren't here!", he casually replied: "Sorry, see you tomorrow!" (lol). I know Pi since 12 years already. Doesn't this sound awkward? It's the only relationship I have that lasted so long. Lately it didn't happened but usually we say to each others the things we want to say very honestly...it happened so many times. After all this time we're still very good friends. Being in the same group with your best friend is something that makes me very happy.

TEGOSHI
(RED) An embarrassing story
When I was a Junior I've been a back dancer for a KAT-TUN's concert, before I could notice it the situation turned into "KAT-TUN & Tegoshi Yuuya on stage" (lol). The first thing I thought at that moment was "The dance teacher will be mad!" (lol). There's another one, thinking about it still embarrasses me...always during Jr. time I was given a good position to dance but the dance teacher ironized: "Will this work?". I don't know why but those words hurted me and I took a rebellious behaviour. In that situation I was scolded: "Tegoshi, what do you want to do in the future?". My reply was "I wanna be a star!" (lol). The dance teacher still remembers that phrase and teases me: "Do you remember what you said?" (lol). I always made him mad but I think that having such a severe person has been very important. In this job is essential to stay focused, there must be somebody who keeps you tight.
(BLUE) An event that made you blanch
I'm never late, only once I did a very big thing. Around 3 years ago we had a tv show all together with other Johnny's sempai, the previous day I had the filming of the movie until the late night and I overslept for 30 minutes. That time I really blanched. They all told me "Don't worry" but I don't want to feel like that anymore in my life.
A memory from the album COLOR
I love the song "Fly Again" but the breath timing in that is really difficult. Then I love "Ai nante". I sang it in "Dream Boys" too, it's a wonderful song I was so glad they let me sing it...but when I saw the recording, they didn't include it! (lol). Well, the number on is "Forever"!
[Wasn't Ai nante in Pacific? loool]
Things happened recently
The drama Dekawanko has just ended, many people told me that it was amusing. I feel fullfilled for having partecipated to another good drama. It was a pain to memorize all those long explanation lines and the specialty language. My character, Kiri, was good and full of enthusiasm but he was a little too strict with Wanko. If it was me I would have been kinder (lol)
YAMAPI

In my wallet I had only around 2000 Yen, it was so ashaming (lol). The other wanted to pay but I told him to wait and I went to the nearest ATM. I entered a stubborn mood and I wanted to pay (lol).
(BLUE) An event that made you blanch
When I was a Jr. I went in panic when I couldn't find my costumes. Because if we didn't have our costumes we couldn't go on stage. In those cases often we wore the ones of the one next to us taking them from the rack. I was so irresponsible (lol). The back stage where we got dressed was a real battlefield. I talked about a "rack" but at the beginning all you have is the "floor". If you had a rack it meant you already got a promotion (lol). It was pretty complicated also for the shoes. There were a lot of shoes of the same type, you had to search the ones of your size. If you didn't do that properly you could end up with shoes of 28cm too big. I don't know how it is now but back then it ruled the law of the jungle (lol). Talking about this is so nostalgic~~!
[Wow, this is interesting!]
A memory from the album COLOR
Since the previous album "Pacific" we became able to speak out more, "Color" was a work born from our own opinions. At first there was the suggestion to call it "Oasis" but the title "Color" suited us better, everybody of us had a different color and we decided for it. My color right now would be grey, I'm in a really bad shape (lol). I've been pale, transparent, pink, I had all kind of come-backs! I'll try to be completely red before going to bed (lol)!
[Sorry, the last part with the colors puzzled me...I don't know what kind of puns/jokes he's trying to say]
Things happened recently
Yesterday I talked to the phone with Toma, we're good friends as always. When I go to karaoke with him we always sing Johnny's medleys (lol). Together we sing and dance to Kinki's songs. Ah, lately we also did "Seisshun amigo" (lol).
SHIGE
(RED) An embarrassing story
Some time ago we were talking about Cuba's revolutionary "Che Guevara" in the dressing room. At that time I was pretty interested about it, Nishikido-kun asked me: "What does "Che" mean?". I thought it has the same meaning of "Mr." so I answered full of self-confidence "It express his rank, doesn't it?" but he replied: "Wrong! It means "Hey". I'll search about it now!". I'll never forget Nishikido-kun's voice full of pride telling me: "That serves you right!" (lol).
(Shige gets informed about Nishikido's story about Juwari soba)
Nishikido-kun, why didn't you ask that to me! I could answer in the same way he did to me that time: "It means a Soba without filler, 100% of soba powder!" (lol). I wouldn't be really able to say that in reality though (lol).
[Shige always gets embarrassed when he doesn't know stuff :D As for myself, I don't really know what Juwari soba is, so I translated Shige's explanation literally, don't even know if it's got a meaning lol! Don't want to google tho XD *lazy*]
(BLUE) An event that made you blanch
One day some time ago my stomach started to hurt without reasons. Anyway a friend told me: "I found a type of tsukemen* I want you to try!". Lately I'm hooked with tsukemen, so much that inside of me I think "Tsukemen > Stomachache". So I went out with my bicycle frantically. When I reached the restaurant the shutter were closed (lol). Thinking "I can't lose!" I rode my bicycle again to reach another restaurant...yes, I found other closed shutters there too (lol). I also lost my favourite leather gloves I had since 8 years, it was really an unlucky day~
[He's a weirdo but I'm in love with this guy XD *Tsukemen = Kind of chinese noodles]
A memory from the album COLOR
I remember that Yamashita-kun was always saying that he loved "Forever". Then there's "Snow Express", that's one of the sure songs for a NEWS concert. I wonder what would we do if we'll have a tour in full Summer. Ah, we could sing "Summer Time" to melt all the snow we accumulated (lol).
Things happened recently
I just ended to prepare my script for the butai in which I'll work with TOKIO's Joshima-kun. Now I'm worried about the first meeting (lol). I even thought what should I wear, I've got the role of his younger brother, should I wear something "young brother-like?" (lol). Really, I could star in the TVshow "Ki ni shisugi geijin*" (lol). It's the first time I'll work with one from TOKIO. The rehearsals will start on May, I can't wait to see what kind of stage there will be.
[*"Stars who worry too much", it really exists, I checked :D Anyway, as you could read from my previous posts, the first meeting was on 24 April and everything went well. Daijoubu Shige!]
MASSU
(RED) An embarrassing story
I often give random little informations. "Ne, ne, shitteru?". Often people tell me: "Hey, we already knew!" though (lol). In the same situation I wouldn't answer like that. I'd just smile lightly and listen keeping a good atmosphere (lol).
(BLUE) An event that made you blanch
Lately I like "dark blue" color. I never wore so many blue clothes until now, maybe it's "Aoi Bench"'s influence. Somehow I started to like that color. My color in NEWS is yellow. I've always loved it so I personally requested it. I think that also black would have been cool though. Blue and red are usually the popular rangers, right? But in the moments of crisis it was always the black one to appear...kinda (lol). I want to be a person like this.
[Why he never sticks to the question? lol]
A memory from the album COLOR
It's an album that many people around me praised for its songs, like "I like Fly Again!" or "Smile Maker is a good one!". Thinking that they heard the whole album and not only the singles makes me really happy. Personally I love "Smile Maker". Also "Towairo no koi", we sang that even before but we recorded it properly in 2008 and inserted it in the album. Since the beginning it took me lot of time to do the recordings, but I remember that they lasted very long for this album. Sometimes the parts to sing in the song are decided since the beginning, other times we decide them after singing them all. I prefer the second way. Like that it's more funny to hear the result, right? Our good point is that we're a group with many different individual characters.
Things happened recently
I was reading a fashion magazine and I found a very cool mattress. You should use it without sheets since it's so cool. It made me think: "Amn't I out of fashion still using sheets?", so I tried to take them out, anyway my own mattress is unfashionable itself (lol). I felt a little down since it didn't look like the one in the magazine at all (lol).
[...this is not normal]
KOYAMA
(RED) An embarrassing story
Once I was in Hawaii and I found myself inside the elevator with another Japanese tourist. He asked me: "Where are you from?" and I answered: "From Japan". When I thought back to that I realized that answering like that to another Japanese was really lame (lol). This is an embarrassing example of being bad influenced by a foreigner country when you're on a trip (lol). Then when I went to Korea I wanted to ask things, like the bus stops, in Korean at any cost but I had difficulties at talking so it took me lots of time, it happened that the others got impatient and replied me in Japanese (lol).
(BLUE) An event that made you blanch
I became a Jr. when I was at my first year of high school, a little later compared to the others, at that time they made me partecipate to a summer event. We had to wear short pants, tank top and be barefoot...basically something that little kids can wear. I remember I was pretty depressed: "Wearing such thing at this age..." (lol). Then, when KAT-TUN were in "Shock" one day Koki couldn't be there and I was called to replace him. I felt a lot of responsibilities on my shoulders, I wasn't that good to dance yet, I bleached for real. Anyway, I went to Taguchi's home and he taught me the steps for "Ame no melody" on his veranda. He taught me so kindly, he really saved me. I think I can still dance that!
A memory from the album COLOR
We got the song "Snow Express" a lot of time before the album. The first time we heard the demo (Yamashita) Tatsurou-san's print was very strong, I thought: "Will they make us sing this song!?". That song has his meaning for adult people, it has a "mature" feeling. It was like Kinki's "Ai no katamari" or SMAP's "Yozora no mukou", some very loved songs...I wished it turns into a song like those.
Things happened recently
Lately I'm always eating meals at our ramen shop. Miso ramen, chahan, pepper steak, jaajaamen...I'm eating a lot of different menus (lol). Recently I've also discovered a chef's original raayu, I like it with gyozas. Of course it's something that won't be served if you don't ask for it, it's a hidden back menu.

Massu: Hata
Tegoshi: Karaage
[Massu said "hata" which is "flag"...with the kanji of flag...is it something edible? LOL Anyway I had to google naporitan...it's a kind of spaghetti...nice I'm Italian and we don't have that ones LOL
>> Edit: It seems Massu was talking about a kind of bento with rice and stuff forming countries' flags (Rice + umeboshi = Japanese flag) Thanks for the comments! <3
And yeah, I know what Napolitan is...it's just funny that here in Italy it's not that famous and we don't even call it like that! XD]
4. Level of spicy, from 1 to 10, what can you eat?
Pi: Around 6. Honestly.
Koyama: Maybe 1.
Ryo: 1 is ok. (I prefer sweet things)
Shige: I can eat also the 10th. (I think I'm the only one in the group to love spicy food)
Massu: I wouldn't eat it!
Tegoshi: 7
[I can eat to 6-7th level, I love spicy food but when the food is only spicy, so much that it covers any other taste I don't like it]
5. Who in NEWS love clean the most?
Pi: Massu
Koyama: Massu
Ryo: I don't know!

Ryo: Ghost house
Shige: Ghost house

My will is really weak when it comes to NEWS :D I spent another night translating, this one was a cute interview! This month were all very nice :3

[Massu said "hata" which is "flag"...with the kanji of flag...is it something edible? LOL Anyway I had to google naporitan...it's a kind of spaghetti...nice I'm Italian and we don't have that ones LOL
>> Edit: It seems Massu was talking about a kind of bento with rice and stuff forming countries' flags (Rice + umeboshi = Japanese flag) Thanks for the comments! <3
And yeah, I know what Napolitan is...it's just funny that here in Italy it's not that famous and we don't even call it like that! XD]
