[Translation] Wink Up - Sept 2008
Updated Part 2
Ok this interview is really really long for noobs like me. So I am going to divide the interview into 4 parts.
This is part one/two! I could be wrong +_+ So you are welcomed to seek other translations.
This interview was held among Chinen, Takaki, Inoo, Yuto and Hikaru (:
————————————————-
It came out immediately - Chinen’s poison. (laughs)
Yuto: The theme for today’s talk is “evolution”.
Hikaru: Well then, shall we start with Chinen first?
Takaki: Recently, Chinen has been witty (jestful)!
Chinen: ….that’s right ne. I admit to that. Right now, the thing that I want to know the most, is the type of perfume that Ohno-kun puts on. If I know, I will (steal that same style and) copy it totally. (laughs)
Hikaru: I knew it was going to be that. (laughs)
Inoo: And his talk level has evolved too.
Chinen: Probably! Recently, even to the people from BEST, I can usually shoot off my mouth about everything.
Hikaru: And something that I personally like, is Chinen’s Oyaji Gag. We will see something like that later on ne. (laughs)
Chinen: Nobody laughs at my oyaji gag, except only for Inoo-chan …yappa, it takes an oyaji to be able to understand right. (Chinen’s referring to Inoo as an oyaji XD)
Inoo: ……………
(note: oyaji gag is a kind of comic Japanese wordplay, like using english puns to make jokes. but oyaji is also an impolite term used to address an older middle-aged man, and also an impolite term to call your own father)
Hikaru: It came out immediately - Chinen’s poison. (laughs)
Inoo: Gomen Gomen. Because I am too sharp, I have seen one point. (laughs) <- not really sure what he meant, probably he’s sharp enough to understand Chinen’s humour.
Yuto: Talking about this, do you also speak to Takaki-kun like this?
Takaki: Eh, to me? Hmm…
Chinen: Yuyang (Chinen’s pet name for Yuya -_-;;), because he’s slow, he doesn’t notice it.
Takaki: That’s right. When I am around…
Inoo: He really doesn’t notice it (laughs)
Hikaru: Did he not put something into his ears? But anyway, even if it must evolve, I don’t want Chinen to turn out very tall~ But yappa Chinen is not small.
Chinen: Ehh~ wrong wrong wrong! I am not growing!
Takaki: But you can’t grow past me na~ What is Chinen’s final target for height, approximately?
Chinen: About 168cm? Why, yes. Ohno-kun is around that height right?
Inoo: Yappari it’s easy to arrive at that topic (about Ohno). (laughs)
Takaki: There is still a high possibility that you can grow tall from now on. For me, I was the most front (shortest) person even up till middle school year 3.
All: Eh! Really?!
Inoo: The people around me became a lot taller na.
Yuto: Eh, that’s not what happened right? (laughs) <- Right, it’s because Inoo himself stopped growing XD
Hikaru: Ever since I entered as a Junior, I also grew more than 30cm.
Chinen: I have also grown 30cm already. From 120cm, I became 150cm.
Hikaru: I was about 140cm na. I was very competitive with Yabu. We would always tell each other stuff like, “I have already grown past 150cm!” (laughs)
————————————————-
Stop tailoring that kind of image of me!
Yuto: Even though I grew a lot within this past 1~2 years, the timing for the growth of height varies from person to person ne. There are still many chances to go. Next up, what is Inoo-chan’s evolved characteristic?
Hikaru: Being like an oyaji. (=uncle)
Inoo: On the train today, didn’t you promise not to talk about this!
Hikaru: Wait a minute. Today, we didn’t take the train together. (laughs) This description of Inoo-chan is really appropriate!
Yuto: This thought pops up often ne. (laughs)
Chinen: For me, I didn’t know the past Inoo-chan. So I don’t know his evolved traits.
Inoo: The me from the past ne, really dislikes Hikaru. But now if I say, “It’s no longer like that anymore, right?”, I realise that it didn’t change much. (HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA <333333333)
Hikaru: Ah hahaha. (laughs) Inoo-chan’s evolution, isn’t it about him getting used to all the members? In the past, he almost never ever showed his interesting/funny side to us.
Yuto: Ah~ I think I understand! In the past, I felt that he was a more yasashii (gentle) older brother, but…
Inoo: Now I am terrible na.
Yuto: En, terrible. (laughs) But by being the real you now, it’s interesting ne.
Chinen: The past Inoo-chan that I know, is the cute Inoo-chan who acted in “Pre-Pre-Pretty~” (laughs)
Takaki: That Inoo-kun no longer exists anywhere. (laughs)
Inoo: Where did he go ne. (laughs) But I am kind, no? Like when we are inside the train, I will offer the seat to Hikaru first.
Hikaru: Ahh, that does happen ne. But, when it seems like he’s offering a seat to the elderly and then I accept it, I feel guilty na…
Inoo: So then, stop tailoring that kind of image of me! (the oyaji image XDDD)
Hikaru: Hahahaha (laughs)
Inoo: I am yasashii even to Yuto. Like today, I offered to let him eat my bentou together. Hamburger bentou. (bentou=packed lunch)
Yuto: Eh, ah…En. Thank you…? <- HAHAHAHAHA damn you Yuto!
Hikaru: Well then, I heard it’s this feeling that Yuto seems like a child with no friends. (laughs)
Takaki: Inoo-kun and Hikaru-kun often bicker and yak at each other, and watching that is really fun.
Hikaru: But for us who are actually doing it, we have to bear with the rather stressful situation. (laughs)
