Q. How would you welcome someone to your house?

A. For her to stay pretty.
Oh Maru, I think that answer just undermined my opinion of you. XD (At the same time, I gotta respect the honesty. lol)

There are so many guys out there who don’t understand how much hard work cooking and doing laundry is so they leave all of it to their wives. I’d like to help out as much as possible
This was slight redemption for the "stay pretty" remark. ahahah

Thanks for translating! (I just watched the 8uppers con so I'm totally on a K8 high~)

[strawberry_fzz]

Yeah, not my favorite answer in the book but if "staying pretty" = a nice, relaxing day at the spa, I'd gladly "stay pretty"! lol

Ooh, the 8Uppers con is awesome~ Techno medley is like one of my favorite things ever. <3 I'm already looking forward to the Fight dome con DVD and the tour hasn't even started yet. XD

[elenniel]

I loved the techno medley!! I just keep replaying it. XDD

Oops, forgot to say you're very welcome! :)

I am always wary about girlfriend questions cause the boys will sometimes say things that make me roll my eyes and shake my head. but this was pretty awesome for the most part! I raised an eyebrow at "stay pretty" but the rest of that paragraph made up for it. I love that Maru wants to be whipped. thats pretty cute. I always said a maru kind of guy would be most my type <3

[strawberry_fzz]

And to think Maru's actually one of the progressive ones of the group... XD
Yeah, I thought that was cute, too. Maru's a big ol' sweetie <3

[epicwaters]

Maru is definitely a particular guy xD
I know he says, 'to stay pretty' but when he mentions spas and stuff, it just makes me think of 'being relaxed' cuz we all know how stress makes us all ugly D: <~dudes are included in that ;D

I think the thing I liked best about this was the last two lines. I'm glad he notices and takes to heart how much work goes into being a home maker.

thank you for sharing :}

[strawberry_fzz]

Ooh, new icon *___*

I know right? Who would turn down a nice day at the spa? Not me~ 8D Maru loves his massages so I assume he wants his future wife to be adequately massaged too. X'D

Yeah, we don't hear it said nearly enough! Thanks for that, Maru-chan <3

always a pleasure :3

I'm super late with my reply but thank you for translating. ♥ That was such a fun read I was a bit disappointed when the interview was over. :Db

[strawberry_fzz]

Aw, you're very welcome! Though, you probably don't even need a translation. XD♥ Makes me happy that you enjoyed reading it~

I wonder if he'd be able to keep his promises after he gets married?
LOL. Yeah, easier said than done right? XD But Maru is a little engine that could, so I have faith that he'd at least do his best. :)

[tika_veilan]

I spend so much time looking words up in a dictionary/online that I gave up on trying to read all of Eito articles. That's why it's so awesome that you translate them for everyone. I might have completely missed this awesome interview if you hadn't translated it. ♥T^T♥

> Maru is a little engine that could

"A little engine that could", I like that! XD

[sotayukari]

after reading this interview, I think Maru is quite an ideal husband XD thanks for you translation!

[strawberry_fzz]

He's a sweetie. :3 You're welcome!
