here's something completely unrelated to the bad news of NEWS. to cheer you all up.

seventeen's doing this thing right now, where they interview one NEWS member per issue. it's called NEWStyle, and the first volume was with the entire group. the second, in the january 2006 issue, was with yamapi. the third and the fourth, which i have already, were with nishikido ryo and koyama keiichiro. there will be more coming.

but. i don't think there's going to be one with kusano. or with the guy that got arrested earlier. (but that was already pretty obvious.) um. yeah. so if you guys like this interview and want me to do the rest, i'll do them.

NEWStyle (Vol. 2)
Q&A with Yamapi ‘Revealing His Private Life’


Q : Do you have any siblings/pets?
A : One little sister (17). And two dogs, P and Hime. (Miniature Dachshunds, both female)

Q : Are you left or right handed?
A : Both! Right -> writing, baseball, soccer. Left -> Chopsticks, bowling, darts, ping-pong, billiards.

Q : What’s your favorite place to go?
A : The ocean/beach. Especially during the summer. I love it from morning to night.

Q : How many times do you mail people during the day, on average?
A : 2 or 3 times.

Q : What’s your ringtone?
A : It’s always on manner mode (vibration mode). I download a lot of songs…how pointless. (Laughs)

Q : What comes to mind when you think of New Year’s?
A : Osechi. I love datemaki. (Osechi is basically what you call everything you eat on New Year’s. Datemaki’s this thing made of eggs and stuff. It’s hella good.)

Q : Do you believe in fortune telling?
A : No. But yesterday, there was this fortune telling book sitting around at one of the locations where we were filming a drama. It said that I “don’t give up and let things go when I go/aim for them”. And it’s true!

Q : Name something that you absolutely cannot stand.
A : People lying to me. And when people break promises – I hate that. When people all of a sudden back out on plans at the last minute, I get really, really angry. I can’t just be like “Oh, okay.” I’d be like “Are you fucking shitting me? My plans are all ruined now!” (Okay. He didn’t say ‘are you fucking shitting me?’ but he said something close to that without the bad words. And I didn’t know how else to express it in English. lol.)

Q : What’s your favorite food?
A : Sushi (Chuu toro aburi! ßtype of fish)and Yakiniku (Korean BBQ) (Haramißtype of meat)!

Q : What’s your motto?
A : Eat well, sleep well, play well. When I’m busy, I don’t really have time to have fun and play. But I still do! It’s really important. Because that’s what people live for!

Q : What’s your favorite movie?
A : Forrest Gump. The fact that he naively tries his best is really admirable and beautiful and I like that.

Q : What do you have a habit of saying really often?
A : “I dunno.” I say it a lot in interviews.

Q : Do you have any quotes that really influenced you?
A : “When someone does something to you, do the same back!” It’s what my mom told me when I was little. I still follow it.

Q : What are you good at imitating?
A : Beat Takeshi. (A celebrity in Japan)

Q : When you’re at your house, where do you usually relax?
A : I’m always sleeping in the living room. There’s always a futon folded up by the window. There’s a TV in there too, so it’s really comfortable and convenient. My room’s so full of clothes that once you enter the room, you can barely see my bed. There’s a rack in front of my closet, and it’s full of jackets. My underwear’s all arranged on top of my wardrobes. Then there’s my bed, where my dogs and my mom are always sleeping. (Laughs)

Q : What’s fashionable to you?
A : Wearing what you want to wear.

Q : What do you like about your body?
A : My boobs and my eyelids. I’m a little pigeon-breasted but I have a really nice chest. (Laughs) My bust is 93 cm!

Q : What do you not like about your body?
A : I don’t have any facial hair. I want a little beard/goatee, but not a single hair has grown for 20 years.

Q : If tomorrow morning, you woke up in a girl’s body, what would you do?
A : First, I’d look at/check out my body very carefully. Then, I’d want to wear girl clothes.

Q : When have you ever thought that you’re a really good/nice guy?
A : I’m always a pretty good guy. I think I’m actually really nice sometimes.

Q : When have you ever thought that you’re a really mean, bad guy?
A : In the mornings, even if my friends call me up, I tell them I’m too sleepy and I never agree to hang out with them or anything. I’m so weak in the morning. But then, once I’m awake around noon, I call them up and ask them to hang out with me…I’m so selfish! (Laughs) I think that makes me a really evil guy.

Q : What do you think girls/guys should do?
A : Guys, don’t lie! Girls should fall in love ♪

Q : If all the NEWS members were your family…
A : Myself – A relative (?). Nishikido – My cousin. Koyama – My second cousin. Katou – My dad. (Isn’t he dad-ish? He seems like the type that would work really hard for us.) (Laughs)” Kusano – Only child. (He really knows how to entertain himself at all times.) Masuda – My mom. Tegoshi – My pet. (Definitely a cat!)

Q : Show us a picture that you’ve taken by yourself recently.
A : Title “Before -> After”. (It’s the picture of the banana in the corner of the page, if you can see it. lol.) I took a picture of the before and after of bananas, which I love. The emptiness and the way the banana’s cut is really artistic, isn’t it?

Q : When you go shopping, are you impulsive? Or do you think carefully first?
A : I’m a very impulsive shopper. If I want something, I get it without thinking at all. I usually don’t even try on the clothes. So I do a lot of bad shopping, actually. There are a lot of times when I go to vintage stores and buy something I really like, and then I go home and realize it’s for women. (Laughs)

Q : What’s your favorite look on girls?
A : Military style. Because I’m really into military style clothes myself right now. Whether I prefer skirts or pants? Hmm. If that girl were my girlfriend, I would prefer pants. Not skirts! I don’t want random guys to be checking her out. I’m a really possessive guy.

Q : What are your favorite colors?
A : Black, white, and gold.

Q : If you were to give your girlfriend a gift, what would you give her?
A : Pumps! As if she were Cinderella. (Laughs) Don’t you think it’d be kind of cool and fashionable? To give shoes to your girlfriend as a gift?

Q : What style/look are you into?
A : Definitely sagging/low-rise jeans! I hate wearing pants normally. And I only wear skinny jeans every once in a while. I don’t like it when the pants are really tight in the ankle area. I don’t want my jeans to be too wide/baggy, or too skinny. Oh, and I hate socks. I never wear socks. But it’s okay, because the lower half of my body never gets sweaty. Generally, I wear a lot of jackets. And I like jeans the best. I own about 30 pairs of pants, and about 10 of them are jeans.
A : I always want to have something vintage. I love vintage clothes. When I went to Hawaii for work, I bought a lot of vintage clothes!
A (No, he really had 3 answers.): This winter, definitely jackets with fur. Jackets with fur are something I’m definitely going to wear this winter. I’ll rotate them so I’ll wear lots of different ones! There are a lot of different types, but I think it looks the cutest/best when there’s just a little bit of fur on the outside. I just bought a new military style shirt and I’m having them put fur and studs on it. I’m really excited for it to be finished. I’m getting them to put fur on the right shoulder.

Fur (It’s next to the little picture of fur) : The fur that I’ve ordered them to put on my shirt is detachable. This is the short type of fur. I don’t like fur just because it’s cute – I like it because it’s warm too! (Laughs)

Gold Accessories : The last time I went to a sauna, there was this guy there with a gold necklace. It looked really cool and manly, so I decided I wanted to wear gold accessories too!

Sunglasses : I really love sunglasses, and I have so many pairs that I can’t count them all. Most of them are brown or black, but I have some in blue too. I like square kinds like the one in this picture and aviator sunglasses too.



and here are the scans that go with it.

omg I love Pi. :D

Man, now I really wish I could move to Japan and by some luck or sheer miricle meet him- we'd get along man :P

please do the others! Especially Kato <3 I'm really sad they're probably not going to do one for Kusano though. :( He's so crazy and funny.

YamaPi is on crack...wtf? he's a little pigeon-breasted?!?!? XDDDDD I love that he knows his bust size because clearly that is important.

I am completely amused by the banana pic in the scans

Yamapi and I should go shopping together sometime. ;D

HAHA, Pi, you are such a woman. XD

I love that he loves his boobs, 'cause I know I sure as hell do too. :D *Gropes them* Tego already got to feel them up, I'm jealous. (Actually, I'd rather feel up Tego's non-exsistant boobs *cough*)

A News family would be SO CUTE. I would seriously die of cuteness if they ever did a family skit. XD Tego is by far the cutest pet you could ever ask for! Definitely equal in cuteness to P and Princess. <3

Pi's banana love is definitely questionable, if you ask me. Actually, alotttt of JE boys seem to really love phallic symbols bananas.

And I'd totally let Pi buy me pumps any day... unless they were gawdy gold or something. We all know kind of sandals and shoes he's worn in the past. D:

Ummm... why is Pi's mom sleeping on his bed? Seems so weird, haha. Especially after seeing his mom and how proper and withdrawn she seems. ^^; Maybe she took on part of Akira's character as well though, and is now just as cracky as her son.

ANYWAYS, I will stop blabbing. Thanks a bunch for the scans! I officially love you. I'll go to 2nd base with you if you translate the other two's interviews as well. :D

A : Both! Right -> writing, baseball, soccer.
He needs his hand for soccer? What for? Cheating? XD

A : It’s always on manner mode (vibration mode). I download a lot of songs…how pointless. (Laughs)
Doing pointless stuff is the best thing in life !

A : Forrest Gump. The fact that he naively tries his best is really admirable and beautiful and I like that.
It's one of my favorites, too. I liked the reason why he likes the movie, he expressed it so nicely.

A : “I dunno.” I say it a lot in interviews.
I've noticed that...xD;

A : Beat Takeshi. (A celebrity in Japan)
Takeshi? I wish I could see it xDDDDDD Ne, Pi, aren't you too cute and pretty to imitate him? XD

A : My boobs and my eyelids. I’m a little pigeon-breasted but I have a really nice chest. (Laughs) My bust is 93 cm!
I started crying at this one. Lol.

A : I don’t have any facial hair. I want a little beard/goatee, but not a single hair has grown for 20 years.
OH GOD NO!

A : First, I’d look at/check out my body very carefully. Then, I’d want to wear girl clothes.
I could give him my skirts xP

A : I’m always a pretty good guy. I think I’m actually really nice sometimes.
I like the SOMETIMES part XD

and then I go home and realize it’s for women. (Laughs)
I dropped my jaw.

A : Military style. Because I’m really into military style clothes myself right now. Whether I prefer skirts or pants? Hmm. If that girl were my girlfriend, I would prefer pants. Not skirts! I don’t want random guys to be checking her out. I’m a really possessive guy.
Such a cute thing to say *^^* I don't like military, but it's cute that he likes it. Something different from "really short skirt and pink top", isn't it?

Oh my. And he really loves talking about clothes and shopping! That's good. I might not be a shopping maniac, but I always thought that Pi would be a great shopping partner for me, because I'm also the type who enters the shop and after a minute I already know what I like and want to but. Oh, and there are lots of other reasons xD

Nya, thanks for posting it! *glomps*

okayy, his answers are so strange. Is pi a frustrated woman? First the breast thing, then buying and wanting to wear ladies wear. Besides, he's moody like a woman too ~ waking up early in the morning, all crabby to his friends, then making up for it later that afternoon. Thanks for translating!! I seriously enjoyed this. And I will love you even more if you do Ryo's too :D *showers you with love*

Keep dreaming! XD Besides I like you the way you're now...

There are a lot of times when I go to vintage stores and buy something I really like, and then I go home and realize it’s for women.
Ahahha.. I can totally imagine that!

He's just so funny and random!

I'm just so amused by the fact that he actually used the words おっぱい (in bold, too) and 美乳.

And I wonder if the fur is real? 'Cause that's a lot of animals he's killing.

-_______-! he's one of my fave je boys and yet he is totally the "anti-climax" for me.. *shakes head*...

boob? facial hair?.. *shuddders*... both are a big no!!! xd

*sigh*

But I still love him, LOL!...
