"I don't want to cry in frustration, I cry more for pain"
The tears I can't forget even now are from a karate match during the 4th year of elementary school. That day I had to attack mostly by punches instead of kicks but my opponent was very good at kicking. My punches didn't reach him at all. Even if inside of me I was thinking "Damn~" and I was getting irritated in the end I lost. It was frustrating and I ended up to cry. My body didn't hurt but I screamed "Ouch!" to cheat and I cried in frustration. After that I continued to do karate but I cried like that only that time. Since I was little I really hate losing. Those ones were my first tears for the frustration.
But still I'm happy to have experienced that time the frustration. More than put an end to it saying "Oh ok, I lost" I think that having the guts to say "Damn~" is better. It's throught that kind of frustration that I was able to grow up.
There were also tears for happiness. For example when I did my solo concerts. There were so many fans and thinking "They all came for me~" I felt moved and I felt like crying on the stage. I endured to not cry over there but I was so happy that I wanted to cry. Maybe I'm a little weak (lol).
NEWS - After so many years I slept with Jin in the same bed! Many time passed but it was like always (lol). We talked until late of silly things and then we fell asleep.

"During 24hTV I cried during my sign language performance for emotion"
The tears that changed my life are the ones of 24hTV. I performed a shadows show with deaf children. For me and the children it was a big challenge. For this I thought "I have to success at any cost!" and I was full of emotions wanting to give the most I could. During the show we were all very nervous but our eyes were sparkling. There, thinking to all the time I trained, I couldn't stop my tears. I was moved by so many things like "I want to give these children the courage and the confidence to succeed and strike their walls".
I thought "I don't have to stop these tears". "From now on I'm tied to this kind of people" ...This thought is correlated to my job still now. I think that meeting those children was a turning point in my life and that those tears were important.
It wasn't only emotion...happiness, feelings, it was all so deep. It was the first time I cried like that. I couldn't bear all those feelings and I cried, I remember it still now.
NEWS - Recently I'm used to take before going to work a crepe with bananachoco cream and a peach tea. I tried to do it at home too but it wasn't good (T_T)

"There were times that I couldn't hide my tears on stage"
During the first tour of NEWS in the big arenas on the last day I cried for the happiness! Even if we were talking I ended up to cry. Then, the first time we sang at the Tokyo Dome. Before going on the stage we heard the voices of more than 50000 fans screaming "NEWS! NEWS!", listening to those voices while waiting made me cry before even starting the concert (lol). I can't really remember my feelings in those occasions but I know that I always feel like crying.
Usually I'm not the type to cry but I think that people think that I'm weak to tears because I cry during lives (lol). By the way expressing honestly your feelings is important. Crying when you're overwhelmed by emotions, laughing when you're happy...people who can do it are wonderful. That time at the big arena I cried because my feelings were too big. Not only my feelings but also the fans' ones were so big. That feeling is powerful. The concerts are my favourite power spots!
NEWS - At home I do abdominal training, I control my shape. I do 100 of them at day, I eat 3 meals and I try to not have snacks. I eat a lot of yummy vegetables!

"I cried to the message from my most important person"
The birthday party I have every year with my friends is great! Every time I receive the present I end up to wail. Last year it was a soccer ball with their comments, this year a note all written. Reading them I couldn't stop my tears. I'm not the type to cry in front of people but when I received them my heart burnt up "They know me so well". I go out with my soccer friends from 2-3 years but I think they will be my long-life friends. They always come to my concerts and even if sometimes we fight over soccer in the end we calm down in a second.
I can't cry if I'm told to do it. Even when I acted it was the same, if there is a crying scene I can't cry if I don't enter well in the feelings of the character. To me crying is not a special thing, it's very natural. I never try to endure to cry. The tears during my birthday parties too come out because of the gratitude and the happiness. Still now when I see those presents at home they give me courage to say "I'll do my best".
NEWS - After many time I went to see a soccer match in a stadium, it was cool. But it wasn't a team I support and since I was on the opponents side seats I was kinda away (lol). I felt so small.

"More than to the others, I cry when I lose to myself"
Some years ago I cried when we had to record and it didn't go as I thought. Still now I can clearly remember that time. I understood by myself the thing but I couldn't help it. Maybe that time the staff and the people around me were thinking that I'm not good and it looked like nobody was satisfied with me. I tried and tried to warn myself "Somehow you can do it" but it was impossible. I was ashamed by myself, not only there, I went on crying even at home. I remember that day like it was yesterday.
Myself who cried like that became my bread. Because I understood the reasons of my tears. I wasn't crying because I was sad, I think it was frustration like "What the hell am I doing?".
In singing, dancing and acting there are many times when you're compared to other people but I don't think it was for that. It was a fight with me, a challenge to myself and the tears were my barometer of how much I could do that. I couldn't win so I cried of frustration. The day after I was refreshed and felt like "Yosh! I have to do it!". I think I won't forget the reasons of those tears for all my life. Maybe "Crying" to me is a kind of detoxication.
NEWS - Yesterday I saw "Avatar". Then I also saw a SABU movie. A long day off dedicated to movies. Maybe I'll be able to satisfy my aim of seeing 10 movies each month!

"The male friendship makes me cry manly"
The day a friend came back from abroad we met to see him, we were 10 people and we prepared a video in which we said "Okaeri!". We projected it with my friends from Osaka, everybody worked on it. It was a story of them searching the guy who came back. We found out many people and we recorded it in Shibuya (lol). In the end there were the scenes we always see and looking at them we ended all up to cry manly (lol). It was a surprise present so my friend was super happy but we were all crying. Somehow, it was a good cry.
I don't want to cry in front of people. When I'm sad or happy I don't cry, I don't do it even when I'm rejected. Since I think "It's not the case to cry!" I always hold my tears. Even if I want to cry so badly I try to endure it. But sometimes I cry watching movies (lol). Expecially the ones about family. No matter how many times I watched them, I cry always at the same scenes. For example watching the movie "John Q" in the scene of the last decision of the father when he talks about it to the son my heart always tightens. This kind of family love makes me cry a lot.
NEWS - I received a mail from Arashi's Ninomiya-kun. "What will you do on OO?". After my answer he said: "Well, if I end to work early I'll call you". What the hell are you doing!?
I promised to not slack off with translations so here it is, the brand new one :)
They are all so cute, it's good to see boys who are not afraid to say that they cry, usually boys tend to appear strong :D
Shige is to cute to be true, please kill him or I will die =_= LOL
