- In what way?
A written complaint (laugh)
- So what about "Even though you're a guy"?
That's the same thing. I wouldn't like someone who holds that ladies first flag. For guys, even if we aren't told things like that, we'll still support the person we love. I wouldn't say things without delicacy, and I still want to protect her. But if a cockroach popped out I would call the manager.
- (laugh)
If it was just us and there was a cockroach, and it became a "What should we do? Run?" situation, then she said "Eh, but aren't you a guy?", I would close down. Like, "Well I am human". When people say "Even though you're a guy" or "Even though you're a girl", it just widens the gap between men and women.
- Another letter of complaint, huh
It means, "Let's meet in the courtroom".
- So what do you think is essential to loving someone?
I really think it's compassion. If you love that person you won't hurt them, and if you don't like being told something, you won't say it to them. I think it all depends on that. I would definitely say it to the person I like. "Don't say things to people that you don't like being told yourself". Also to not do something to someone that you wouldn't like being done to yourself. If there wasn't that kind of compassion, everything would be over. For example, if my girlfriend wanted to go out drinking with her guy friends and I said, "Okay, then I'll go with my girl friends", it wouldn't make sense if she said no.
- So basically you should think about the other person's feelings, huh. Your first priority should be to not make the person you love sad.
Right? You should think of that first....or that's what I've been taught.
- Regarding love, is it essential for your values and interests to be similar?
It's not essential. Because everyone is different. For instance, if we were watching the news and I asked her what she thought about an event so we could exchange opinions, and our values were different, I wouldn't care.
- Because it can be a lot more exciting if you have different values.
Yeah. I prefer them being different.
- But if you live together it might get difficult.
If she came over to my house, saw the interior and said, "I don't like this", then I would close down. I would think, "It's my house!". So if I lived with someone who had different interests, we would have different rooms. And we would talk about what to do with the living area.
- Then, if a girl you had no interest in said she liked you, what sign would you give her to show that you weren't interested?
I'd avoid the subject. Because you can tell by the atmosphere if you're about to be confessed to, right? If they become quiet for a second or something.
- I understand, yes.
At that time, when they start saying, "You know...", I would go, (holding stomach) "Owww!"
- (laugh) My stomach....kind of thing?
Yes, yes (laugh). That might really work.
- That could work!
And if I got a message saying, "I have something to tell you", I wouldn't reply. I would wait about two weeks.
- I guess there's nothing else to do, huh
Because I don't want to. Before hurting or not hurting them, I would hate myself for refusing when someone confessed to me.
- That's true, it is hard turning someone down.
Even though I feel like "Ah~ It's not like that!".
- But I'd feel bad for them if I said that.
I'd try my best not to say it. But if it turned into that situation, I would properly tell them, "I'm sorry".
- Yes. Then, next, do you feel that there is something beautiful in a love that never came to anything?
I do. There was one girl I liked. No matter how I think about it, I should have dated her. But at the time I just thought, "I want to be spoiled by a cute girl like this!". Those feelings got in the way, and before I knew it she was gone.
- "I was so stupid"
And then regret....it's still buried in the back of my mind as something beautiful.
- That's a nice story....When you're in love, everything seems to shine, doesn't it.
It does~ The way I talk even changes.
- So you get really cheerful
But that kind of thing actually wouldn't affect my lyrics. I still have more depressing kinds of lyrics.
- You write more about sad or painful things?
For me, those are good things. I'm glad I don't write about really happy things.
- Next, what do you think of continuing to think about one girl?
I think it's wonderful.
- Has that happened to you recently?
That's never happened to me.
- It hasn't, but...?
It hasn't, but....wait, what are trying to get me to say (laugh) Is this a leading question?
- Does it seem like an interrogation room?
Like, "I want to eat katsudon!"
- (laugh) Then?
But I'm jealous of people who wholeheartedly just think of one person. When I see a guy like that, I think the girl must be really great.
- So is it possible that you would become earnest in that way if you found a girl like that?
Of course it is. Because couldn't she then be the person I marry? Though I don't have any wishes to get married. But I do think that continuing to think of one person is wonderful. In order for that to happen, I would want to date a girl who I can talk about our future dreams with. To get married, live in this kind of house, have a dog, how many kids we want, with cool names....that kind of thing. If I could talk about those things with her I would start thinking, "I wonder if she's the one?".
- I see....
I want to be able to relax, after all.
- I think whether or not anyone is able to relax depends on you, though.
Hahaha! It does depend on me, but I can't control what's in my head.
- What was your result on the "Brain maker" that was popular a while ago?
It was "want".
- (laugh) !
Also, "food"
- So with that, here is the last question. What would your perfect relationship be like?
We could talk about anything, be able to fight, and make up after we fought, and we would think the same things are cute. For instance if it was a kid or a dog.
- Being moved by the same things is pretty important, huh
I think so. It's fine even if our values are different, but I would want our feelings to be the same. If I meet that kind of person....I might be able to continue wholeheartedly thinking about them.
- So at the end you've been able to calm down beautifully. I had my doubts at first.
At first I was talking about how I was before, in the past.
- You should emphasize that.
The adult-like me during the last half is how I am now. I'm really inconsistent, but I can't help that.
- So you're still like a little kid, huh
I'm still on active duty
- "Active duty" (laugh). So if you weren't you would get married, then?
It's like, if you become an eternally immortal person (by Nagashima Shigeo), you can write your name in my family registry, kinda thing.
- What's with that superior attitude!
No, if my partner became someone like that, it would be like, "Let's play catch together" (proposal)
