This is an interview that Junnosuke did back in 2008. I figured I'd give my hand at doing one for him since I've done quite a few for Changmin. ^^;; Credit for the translation (as well as the original posting) of the interview goes to seishun_banzai on livejournal. Let's get started! This time, Junnosuke's responses will be in green and mine will be in purple.
Q1 I’m masculine
Yes - 73%
No - 27%
When I’m with male friends I’ll state my own opinions clearly so I think I’m pretty masculine. When I’m working, I’ll sense the mood so I’m masculine. It’s often said that I can’t sense the mood but I’m only acting (laughs). But I want to become more masculine so I can’t say 100%. Well, you're quite the actor, huh? You shouldn't be fooling people like that. Wait...does that mean you've been fooling me too? Saying that you like me and such? XD *Junnosuke glares at me*
Q2 There are times when I’m self-centered
Yes - 61%
No - 39%
I’m often told by my friends that I’m self-centered and I want to fix this. For example I’ll go out and buy enough candy for myself only... First of all, I have to act after considering things from the other person’s perspective. I want to live a life that doesn’t cause unpleasantness for anyone. So that explains why you keep throwing daggers through your eyes when I want some candy...
Q3 I’m surprisingly stingy
Yes - 0%
No - 100%
I’m totally not stingy. When it’s necessary, I’ll pay. If I go out for a meal with a girl, I definitely want to pay for all of it. I can’t imagine going dutch with a girl. I don’t want to cause a fuss so ’ll say “You get the next one” or something, but I won’t let her pay. That is very sweet of you~! Does this mean I can order this and this and this? *pointing to various items on a menu*
Q4 I’m nice towards everyone
Yes - 30%
No - 70%
People often say “You’re so nice” but there’s no way it’s with everyone. If you’re nice towards everyone it’s like you’re hiding your true self, right? You’d be the same as a scarecrow. Your own emotions change depending on the other person’s behavior so it’s natural and reveals your attitude. Uh oh...I wouldn't want to see Junno-kun's not-so-nice side! But who you callin' a scarecrow...? >:/
Q5 Even I think “I’m meticulous”
Yes - 50%
No - 50%
I don’t have that kind of neurotic personality but I’m meticulous if it’s about something concerning me. I think it’s because when you grow up, self-responsibility is really important, so I want to do the things within reach accurately. I think the members of KAT-TUN tend to have a strong consciousness of that kind of thing as well. If meticulous is like being a perfectionist, I'd have to say I'm also half and half. Unlike someone else I know who's all about perfection... *looking Changmin's way*
Q6 I soon lose interest in anything
Yes - 50%
No - 50%
In regards to managing my life, there are a lot of things I don’t continue. For example, drinking yoghurt every morning without fail or keeping a household account book. Even though I often talked about it in magazine interviews, I totally stopped doing both. It’s like: “I’m sorry, readers.” I hope you haven't lost interest in me... :x *Junnosuke bursts out laughing* What?
Q7 I’m always positive
Yes - 100%
No - 0%
If I’m positive, nothing else is left! I think I was born with this personality. If I’m stressed, then can’t handle it at all. Because I don’t really get worried, I can take part in giving advice to people so I think it’s good to be troubled on occasion. And this is why he's my positive ray of sunshine! But I'm sure even you have your down days.
Q8 I’m serious
Yes - 70%
No - 30%
I’m essentially serious but when it’s ok to take it easy, I’m the type to relax as much as I want. Variety is important. Nevertheless, although your body is “working capital”, if you go out late at night or something and have that kind of irregular lifestyle I wouldn’t like that. I want my future to be connected and it has to be in better order. Why so serious? Ahaha~ I couldn't resist. XD But it's good to hear that you've got a serious streak to you.
Q9 I have an indecisive side
Yes - 80%
No - 20%
For example, if I buy clothes or do something for myself, I can decide quickly, but when I go out for a meal or am together with someone then I become indecisive. I end up only thinking about the other person. If I continue to do this, I feel I’ll lose myself so I’d like to fix this. Well, that explains the last time we hung out. Nothing was accomplished because we couldn't decide what to do. ^^
Q10 I’m skilled at love
Yes - 0%
No - 100%
I really pay attention to the needs of girls I like. That’s why, when I want to decide at once, I’ll make a mistake. I’m really not popular with girls. But it’s not like I want to be popular. As long as I have a fan just cheering me on is a huge satisfaction. ‘Coz I’m an idol! (laughs) 'Not really popular with girls'? Are you kidding me? So says the man who had thousands of ladies screaming for him in Thailand. >__>
Well, that is all for this. XD I hope you all enjoyed it--even though I don't think it was as comical as the ones I've previously done. Until next time~!

Review: Hanayome to Papa
*insert 'Wedding March' song*
This Jdrama is a really cute one! It's called 'Hanayome to Papa' (which means 'Bride and Papa'...I think). It has twelve episodes and is of the romantic comedy genre. It follows the story of a girl named Aiko (Satomi Ishihara) who really would like to get out from under the overprotective wing of her father(Saburo Tokito)--especially so since she is twenty years old. She has been given a set of rules to follow, and she does. But she would really like to rid herself of them. Two of the biggest rules are a curfew at 7pm and absolutely no relationshiop of any kind with the opposite sex. Aiko has been following these rules all her life, but she found a way to get around them. She got a job working at a fashion industry. At last...a taste of freedom (sort of). Aside from her as being a newcomer into the office is Seiji (Junnosuke Taguchi) who also has some issues with his parents. Both of them kind of click because they are both new to the office. Now, where does significance of the title come into play? Well, one night Aiko and her father got into an argument. He told her that the only way she wouldn't be treated as a child is if she were to marry. She then said out of spite: "Fine! I shall become a bride then!" Now, I don't think she meant for it to actually happen. But soon after, Seiji does come over, asking her father if he could date her...with the intention of marrying her!
The bulk of the drama goes through the story of how Aiko and Seiji have to prove to Aiko's father that they indeed do want to marry. There are also a few backstories that explain why Aiko's father is the way he is with her as well as some subtle issues of other fathers and their children. Of course the main reason I watched this was because Junnosuke was in it. But overall, I really liked it! Junno-kun, why you no date me with the intention of marriage?! XD XD XD Well, I hope that you will check this drama out~! Until next time.

Thoughts for the Day
It's been a long time since my last entry, hasn't it? To be honest--and I've probably stated this before--I can't really think of much to say these days, let alone come up with titles for these entries. ^^;; But I'll keep trying my best as long as you keep reading them.
'Catch Me' in L.A.
Earlier this month, Yunho and Changmin did their America leg of their Catch Me tour. And as usual when any of TVXQ comes to the U.S., I never get to go. This was also the case. What's upsetting is that they did a whole concert where it was just them. No SM Town. Now, I would've been fine with either or, but almost three hours of just seeing them is like...amazing. *o* Not only that, but Yunho and Changmin did one of the craziest things a celebrity of their status could do--they went out into the crowd. Needless to say, I was quite jealous of fans who got to see them up close and personal like that. But I also heard that some fans were being a bit too touchy-feely. >__> All in all, it was quite a successful stop. Hopefully next time any of the members come for something, I'll be able to see them.
Junsu is 'Incredible'
This week Junsu released an MV for his 2nd album. The title is called 'Incredible'. Let me tell you, he's really gone far in a good way. I personally enjoyed the song. The last thirty seconds of it...not so much--but that's because I'm a fangirl in love. XD There is another song on his album which has an MV called '11am'. I also like that song because it just sounds so calming. There is also another song on the album called 'Chocolate Girl'. Now, this song has gotten a few black Kpop fans talking because of the context of the word 'chocolate'. Some find it demeaning while others find it lovely that he would even sing a song about a woman of a darker complexion (if that is really what the song is about). Personally, I do hope he's talking about women of color because...well, I'm one. ^^ Here's his MV for 'Incredible'.

My E3 experience
Last month I was watching E3. It was really my first time watching it so extensively. There are many games I'm anticipating, and after a few years I'll probably buy a PS4. XD Some interesting games they showed were 'Watchdogs' and 'The Crew'. But being a SquareEnix fan, I practically screamed when they showed trailers for Final Fantasy XV (formerly XII Versus) and Kingdom Hearts III. They're also going to be releasing Final Fantasy XIII-3 and HD versions of Final Fantasy X and X-2. Oh, how I love SquareEnix. (^o^)
