Yamapi
"Once I start something I have to finish it"
When I was little I learnt "Don't give up, always do the things until the end". I never give up when it's about work. I don't think that this is the best way of thinking though. Because it may turn in stress: "I have to do it absolutely!". I think that I will teach to my children that "If it's really too hard it's ok to stop".
"I can't think negative"
For me it's impossible to think something like "What can I do if it turns out how I thought?" (lol). If you think positive things will work out someway. You have to think to be happy. There are really few people who are happy knowing that they can eat. If people will take on this way of thinking life will be more enjoyable.
"Before an important work I go to sleep early"
Sleeping is important! If I slept too little I want to sleep for 6 hours. I don't use to sleep too much, those ones are the necessary hours since ever. Then, before some important work I try to not hear any invitations from friends. Because I'm to weak to them (lol).
"I always have big dreams"
If you have only little dreams you can't go ahead. I think that it's good also to go on step by step but having big dreams, if you work on the things you thought before, you can make those little steps turn in big. Since the past I always had big dreams. I think that they were pretty realized. What is important to turn dreams in reality? Thinking positive of course! (lol)
"Being flexible is the first thing, don't do the impossible"
With being flexible I mean that it's important being at a full-lenght. To realize your dreams sometimes you also have to work over your strenghts but I think you don't have to do the impossible. With impossible I mean doing things that you don't wan to. But of course the efforts are needed to realize yourself. It's totally different.
Massu
"The morning shower and breakfast are essential!"
The start of my days is the shower. Then breakfast. The order of the 2 things change but I eat when I feel hungry. If I go out without eating I'm in bad mood. Sometimes I go to buy bread after going out.
"I alway eat the last piece"
I don't want to leave food. It's important. For ex. when we go to eat in 4 maybe in a plate there are 5 pieces so 1 is left. I always want to be the person who eats that piece (lol). But I don't want to be told "Douzo douzo". If I'm like allowed to do that I don't want it.
"During the transferts I don't run"
Firstly, I never rush to get into the train. It's dangerous and I don't want to look like I'm someone who don't have time. I'm not good at being a restless person running during the transferts. For this I always try to go out of home before so that I will have time to move. I want to have 10-30 minutes of time. Like this I have time to take a coffee and have time for myself too.
"During the tour I want to go at full speed"
When we go in tour I want to be on stage immediately. This is not limited to tours, I always want to do my work with all my strenghts. Now too I'm in the middle of lives. To keep my voice I use humidifier and do masks. Then I think to the organization of the songs and stages.
"If I have doubt about clothes I don't buy them"
Recently I bought many clothes that are not confortable so now I'm more careful. When I'm doubtful if wearing or not something in the end I don't. Since I buy under impulse a lot it's better when I'm a little worried. Like about how to combine the clothes. When I buy after this thoughts it's a success.
Ryo
"I don't lie to myself"
It may look extreme but I think that lying to the others is ok. Because telling the truth is not always the right thing. But lying to myself, deceiving my feelings, it's not for my good. I think that it's important to admit your real feelings also when you're frustrated because you can't do something.
"The hairstyle must be natural"
I cherish what the ojiisan said "Don't dye your hair". I dyed them only once but then I went soon back to black. I like black hair and I think that they suit the best my asian face. I won't dye them even when they will turn white. Natural white hair are super cool and they're the best!
"I can read only books"
I didn't studied so much in the past so I thought to learn the things about the world on the books, I read a lot of reportages. But after "The Da Vinci Code" I started to read only novels. Because they have a bigger imagination's power I read printed ones, when you can imagine by yourself is the best. My vocabolary is increasing too.
"Do everything properly!"
Since I can't do it at all, I'd like to behave properly. Saying "Behave!" it's kinda cute (lol). Maa, basically if I have to say it I say something like "Don't be late"...Listen, isn't being suddenly lively cute? So "Behave properly!" it's ok!
Koyama
"At morning I take a shower"
Firstly I open the curtains and I make the sunlight enter, this is my shower to make my body understand that it's morning (lol). If I don't take this shower it's like if I don't wake up for real. If I go out without this I don't feel awake. It's my habit.
"Every day I read newspapers and books"
When I go back home, in my studio, I read the news and books. More than a single newspaper I read different ones. Then I read the news on the web and at night I watch NEWS ZERO. Right now I'm reading books for news every.
"When I come back home I spend 10 minutes stroking the cat"
Nyanta, when I'll come back home I'll pet you again (lol). After this I feed him. If I don't spend this 10 minutes with him Nyanta's mood is really different until he goes to sleep. If I do it it's like if he realize that I took care of him that day too. If I don't when I study he doesn't come to sit next to me.
"Once in a month I meet my university mates"
Since we all work we couldn't meet to much but once in a month we try to go out to eat. There we can talk about our latest news. It's like a relief. When we meet we feel like we go back to our old selves, this time in which we can reset all it's really important.
"Once in a week I do my favourite things"
Doing the things you love it's important. Korean and Sign language too, I always try to study them once in a week. I think I'm able to go on because I'm not forced to do it. I do it when I want to, I want to go on studying with this rule. It's my advice. If you like what you do you can do everything.
Shige
"Everyday I take a bath"
The days when I take only a shower are maybe 2-3 in the whole year. If I don't take a bath I don't feel like I cleaned up, like if I didn't warmed up my body enough. I also bought a tv that can be watched in the bathroom. It's wireless so I can see the movies and the variety show I recorded.
"I eat the fish throughly"
From the bones I take away even the stock (lol). The variation of fish dishes that I can cook increased too. I can cook, boil, lace with the konbu and vinegar, so many things. I cut away the skin and make fry. Now I can prepare dishes like the ones from the high-class restaurants.
"The morning I do the coffee"
Recently I bought a mill. One of those you have to use manually. Under the influence of the movie Otonari with Okada Junichi (lol). During the filming of the drama I have to weak up early, the cafè aren't still open so I put the coffee beans inside the tumbler and I drink it on the location adding hot water. I press the coffee beans thinking how much fashionable I am doing it (lol).
"I can't throw the clothes, even if I don't wear them anymore"
In tv the clean sensei told "The clothes you don't wear since 3 years, you won't wear them anymore". Listening to it I was satisfied but I never throw them, I give them to my friends instead. More than a good keeper I am one who buy clothes that won't tire me.
"Starting the conversations from a question"
During the drama filming I met a lot of people for the first time, since we had to work together we couldn't do it without removing the walls between us. At that point I do questions. If it's somebody who starred in a movie I saw I asked for ex. "I really loved that movie, where did you film it?". It's important to do questions that show your feelings and that show interest in the other. Then little by little, I try to bring the conversation to a field I know well and we could talk well.
Tegoshi
"In the off days I don't set my hair"
Because it's annoying (lol). Even if I have to meet the opposite sex too I don't do it. Because even if at work I have to have my make-up and hairstyle done, in my private life I don't think I have to seem perfect.
"On work I don't play with my telephone"
When I'm working on dramas I don't think to touch it. If I have an interval and nothing to do sometimes I take a look at it. But when I'm filming a drama I always leave it inside the closet. That's why I'm so late at answering to mails. When the work ends I read them and I answer only to what it's important.
"I think "Somehow I'll do it""
It's a critical behaviour but I think that things will work out somehow so there's no need to rush. I'm always pretty calm. Before Even in a crisis or in a crucial moment I think like that. Even if there are people who hate me for this is ok. Because this means that people is still caring about me. When they won't it will be the saddest time.
"I cherish the etiquette and the social manners"
When I go to eat I notice a lot people who put their elbow on the table. Since I care about the good manners when I'm with my friends I always scold them for it. I also notice the way someone speaks. Even if I talk normally if a clerk says "There!" I always point out "There, please" right?".
"When I play I do it without thoughts"
I have a lot of fun and if it's a soccer event I look really forward to it. During the matches, I'm really full of fight spirit (lol). I can't help to try to look cool if I notice people who is watching me.
