Translation: Yamapi solo page : potato 01.2004

I'm pretty bored now and so not used to the way i'm livin now >.<....the weather r diff and cold here, wen i'm at hong kong i go out shoppin and other places every day, now i've cum bak ders nothin to do....lol


I hope one day I can perform a song I’ve written myself
Looking back on this year the biggest thing that happened to me was the formation of NEWS. On the day of our CD release I rode in a helicopter to help promote the single but I was actually really really frightened (lol). I don’t normally have a fear of heights but there was something about the instability of being in a helicopter that I didn’t like… (lol). But I’m glad everything went well that day. Though I still don’t really feel like I’ve released a CD, it hasn’t sunk in yet (lol). Right now (this interview was done in early November) I’m spending everyday traveling across the country to cheer on the matches in the World Cup Volleyball tournament. I think the Japanese team really is strong and they always put up a great fight. The other NEWS members as well as myself are really into every game we see. I’m impressed by how dedicated the players are!
You want me to talk about the activities for NEWS after this tournament is done? Well, personally I’d like it if we could create a lot of opportunities to meet with our fans. People all across the country have bought our CD and become our fans. I’d like to get a chance to directly say thank you to as many of them as I can and hope we can enjoy our music together, so think it would be great if we could have a lot of opportunities for that. Looking into the future, I hope NEWS can one day hold their own concert! It’d be nice if we could perform some songs we wrote ourselves at that too. I’ve actually been writing some lyrics recently. I’ve got a few sets of lyrics already finished too. I create the lyrics based on how I feel at the moment, that’s all. I think it’s easy to put feeling into singing a song you wrote yourself, so when the day comes that I can perform something I wrote myself for all of you fans, I hope to… that’s how I feel but I don’t know when that’ll be (lol). Please be patient (lol).

I’m not very satisfied with my own singing voice
The theme for today’s interview is “music” and I have to say that I love singing songs myself as well as listening to other artists sing. I haven’t had time to go buy any CDs lately but I’m checking lots of different artists out. I particularly like artists like Keisuke Kuwata. He sings a lot of songs that go with a certain season and I think that’s really relaxing to listen to. But I don’t sing his songs all that much at karaoke. That’s a totally different issue though (lol).
There are a lot of senpai who I think are great at singing. Like Tsuyoshi-kun or Sakamoto-kun, I really think they’re talented. In NEWS, Moriuchi is really good. What about me? I’m really bad at singing. If I was to judge my own voice… I’d say it sounds scratchy and beat up (lol). (Potato interviewer: I think your singing voice is really pretty and sounds good) Well, I can’t feel satisfied with my own voice. I guess I just have to keep singing a lot and get practiced at it. So… I’ll work hard (lol). I mentioned this earlier, but I do enjoy singing, so I hope to put some hard work into it. It’s really fun to sing at concerts. I’m really nervous up until it’s time to go out on stage, but as soon as the show starts I just have fun the whole time (lol). I’ve gotta work hard throughout 2004 so I can increase my singing ability.

most of the translations i've done wasn't translated by me, i've got it frm other web and blog, bt i cnt remeber wer ive gt it frm
so dnt credit me


POTATO 03.2011 - 25Q TO YAMAPI



-How did you feel singing Hadakanbo?
It was funny! There are so many people who keep hidden theirselves but this song tells to talk honestly opening your heart.
-What kind of kid was the one we saw on the jacket?My mom said that I was always walking stuck behind her.
-What is the imaginary behind the lyrics of Aoi and Friday night?I wrote Aoi when I was 19 yrs old. Aoi is a sad, lonely song. Friday night is a song about a boy who tries to approach the girl he likes. I think that the images pop out naturally listening to them.
-When do you usually write songs?There are times when I put myself down to write but sometimes they come out from simple humming.
-Tell us about your GOOD and BAD sides.The GOOD is that I hate to lose. The BAD is that I can't wake up early.
-Do you like girls with double personality?Girls always have a strong side and a weaker, cute one, right?
-What is the musical genre that had an influence on you?Everyone. Music is experience too. Everything you listen leaves an inconscious echo in your head.
-What is your objective, musically speaking?I want to sing with all my might! It uses to say "Heart, tecnique & physique" so as you can see heart always comes first.
[Term to describe the three qualities of a sumo wrestler]
-Recently you've sung again "Seishuun amigo" as "Shuuji to Akira", how did it feel?It was exciting! So funny!
-Which is the song most funny to sing live?Everyone! (lol) I think that Party don't stop is perfect for a concert.
-Give us some highlights for your solo tour.Swords! We're thinking to use illuminations that looks like katanas.
-What did the members do during the last of the year?Tegoshi was always playing videogames. Koyama was reading or studying, Shige was writing something at the computer. Massu probably was eating nikuman (lol). Ryo-chan on the last of the year was super busy between NEWS and Kanjani8.

[He had no idea where massu was basically XD]
-Tell us a funny episode from the shootings of Ashita no Joe.They're over! (lol) I couldn't eat, I couldn't sleep. Looking back at it now it was a good experience, though.
-During the shootings there was a food you were craving for?Rice and noodles.
-Do you have some point in common with Joe?I'm not as cool as him. Joe is able to stand up after falling thousands times, he never gives up, he's really cool. I think that I have only this kind of will as him.
-You worked out to build a wonderful boxer's body, give some advice to people who want to diet.Don't ever do a diet! (lol) While you're young it's better if you don't.
-What do you like in your new forged body?The abdominal muscles. I did my best with them!
-You're hungry of what?
Work. For the rest I'm ok as I am now (lol). There's something I'd like to eat now though.
-What would you like to do for your girlfriend?I would do anything!
-She's late for a date, how much long would you wait?I wouldn't wait. I would call her, right. If I can't get in touch with her I'd wait for around 1 hour.
-What are the words that would surprise you with pleasure if told by a girl?Something like "Don't worry!", words that express encouragement and care.
-What do you have absolutely to do before going out?Look out for fire (lol) Honestly, just closing the door with keys. If it's for work I try to wake myself up the most possible!
-What is your favourite food this winter?Hot pan.
-This month it's out Velentine issue. Even if you're an adult now do you still get nervous and excited for Valentine day?I do. Even as adult I'm nervous (lol). If I receive chocolate from people who work with me I'll be happy. From the very morning it will be a day kinda different from the others.

-Confession from a girl, yes or no?YES! I think that in love there are no rules. An approach or a confession from a girl are possible. Of course the results will depend only to the other person though.
