Q: How much (in percentage) do you want to transform to a different you?

A: 50%, if I have a chance to transform to a different me, I’ll like to try it even if it’s a one-time opportunity. When I was a kid, I didn’t really go through the period where I want to transform, but I really wanted to transform into an animal. To be a puppy or something like that, and there will be a master; whatever I do, my master won’t get angry (laughs). I’ll bear the mind of an elementary student to play this.


Q: If you can only change your character, how would you change it?

A: I want to be more matured. I’m too rush. I’m those who will speak without thinking and regret my words after. I also don’t know when I became like this, I change moods easily and ended up saying “sorry” in the end.


Q: If you can only change your looks, how would you change it?

A: Hmm… I want to change to how Yamashita-kun looks like. Don’t you think he looks very cool? Even guys see him will think he’s cool looking.


Q: If you can only choose between changing your looks and your character, which will you choose to change?

A: Change my looks. As to changing it to what… I’ve never thought of it so I don’t know.


Q: If you're changing dressing style, what kind of style is good?

A: When I go out, I dress differently. When I go to gym, I’ll put on hood so that people can’t recognise me. I don’t have a perfect way to dress conspicuously~ I’ll wear a hat and sunglasses. But because I look distinct, I’ll get recognised. Perhaps I wore spectacles too much when I’m on TV. I’ll still get recognised when I wear different spectacles… But I won’t get recognised if I wrap my face and legs.


Q: What if 1 day you can change to another member?

A: It doesn’t really matter who I can change to. I don’t really think of changing to someone in KAT-TUN. But I’ll like to change to Yamashita-kun (laughs).


Q: Arts, sports and eating… What do you feel about autumn?

A: Eating! I’m hungry, I’m hungry (laughs). I ate food steamed boiled in an earthenware teapot last year and it was delicious, I want to eat it (this year) too. I want to eat mackerel pike, and fruits like pears. And rice too! I didn’t cook much recently but my culinary skill has been improving, definitely. When my friends are here, I’ll naturally cook, though I’ll wish that people will cook for me.


Q: What would you want to do during autumn nights?

A: Eating out, whether it’s barbeque or eating at the porch. Don’t places such as Hawaii have exterior food venues? I especially like that kind of atmosphere. With no mosquitoes… Ah! Come to think of it, I didn’t really get bitten by mosquitoes this year! I heard cicada and I completely forgotten about the presence of mosquitoes! What a nice summer~
