sou sou! you noticed this one too Fye? coz she looks so familiar. But when i confirmed this to my friend, she said it was just a coincidence that she looked quite similar. She is one of Dr. Koto's casts if i'm not mistaken.

Souka? Thats why she looks familiar to us ne~~ :mrgreen: What role she have been taken in that drama?

And after this interview, I'm confirmed that Katori Shingo is a great and responsible human being. I'm not worried anymore... He'll do well in his life^^

well, that is our Shingo yanie-chan :hehe: I'm quite happy to hear what you say. I think Shingo quite happy and mature now, being as 30 years old, he will face a brand new world for him.

Shingo: Actually, everytime I do the works given to me, I always do it with 100, 120 points of power. Or, at least, I wanted to. But to think of it again... After you asked that question just now...somehow it just crossed my mind...that I'd give myself, 50 points...

Sakai: So, its 50 out of 100 points?
Shingo: Yes.
Sakai: That's lower than I thought...
Shingo: You think so?
Sakai: So what are these 50 points lacking from you?
Shingo: The minus 50 points... *thinks*
Sakai: Are these things you'd want to fix in the future?
Shingo: *nods*
Sakai: So, what is it?
Shingo: Yappari...things like, sometimes I didn't do well in acting...
Sakai: Unn... But wasn't it a success, anyway?

I can't believe he said like this! :shakehead: Well, maybe that is only his feeling. But for me, and I guess smap fanz will say that, he is better in acting than dancing. If I'm in his side, I will say the same also. Maybe he thinks he need much improvement in acting.

Sakai: Okay...so, as a man... Who is the man you've fallen in love with?
Shingo: The man I've fallen in love with? If you ask me, the man I've fallen in love with... is... Kimura-kun. Kimura Takuya.
Sakai: Ah, sou... Which part of him you've fallen for? Like, his face?

Shingo: *smile widely* But yeah, I guess...his face would be one of the many reasons! I mean...he's COOL!
Sakai: I see...
Shingo: I don't have that kind of coolness.
Sakai: I don't think so.
Shingo: No, really! Kimura-kun's coolness as a man...I don't have that. That's why I think, he's very KAKKOI.
Sakai: Which part of him is kakkoi?
Shingo: .........................
Sakai: Basically...is he nice(kind)? Despite his looks appeal....there's this other side of him...
Shingo: Yes, yes, yes! That's it...that's his kakkoi-ness!
Sakai: He don't have to say a single word...but just from what he does...he's kakkoi...?
Shingo: Yes, that's him...that's his kakkoi-ness.... I don't have that.
Sakai: *laughs* I see. Actually I've once appeared in SMAPxSMAP, we performed a song together...
Shingo: Yes.
Sakai: Then, Kimura-kun was beside me... During the step moves...though I didn't ask him at all, but he guided me, "Hai....right, left, right, left, stop...1, 2, 3, 4...hai...left, right, left...". He guided me during all the steps.
Shingo: *nodding* Yes.
Sakai: You're not giving any comments at all, ne....
Shingo: [Haha...Shingo have this "OOPS" looks on his face!]

Sakai: Yes, well....it was like that...and he didn't ask me whether or not I heard him....
Shingo: Yes, I know that! Isn't that kakkoi??
Sakai: So you want to be like that? Or do you want to have that kind of kakkoi-ness?
Shingo: I want to have that kind of kakkoi-ness. I never really think of wanting to be somebody else.
Sakai: You just want to be yourself?
Shingo: Yes, I'll just do everything in my own way. But, as the man I fall in love with, Kimura Takuya is kakkoi, to me. Although, I've been close with him for about 20 years now, but whenever people talk about him, or I see him from afar, I still think that he's kakkoi.
Sakai: Hmmmm.... what an odd group, huh?
Shingo: .....

I wish he will mention Nakai as the man he will love. :shamefulcry: I love pairing between him and Nakai, but he close with takuya ne~Looks like Takuya fill in his minded since 20 years ago than otehr members :hehe:

Shingo: It's.... Wait a minute, I really talk like a Kimura-kun's fan, aren't I?
Sakai: You must've bought Kimura's photobook, haven't you??
Shingo: No, no... *laughs*.... See, like...the natural moves he has... I feel this is definitely the moves of a man that women would love...and he always has it.
Sakai: Ah, so as an artiste...
Shingo: For example, when he pull out his cellphone from his pocket... That one single move alone is .... I can't do that! I can't do it like him.

OMG! :shocked: Shingo talks like he is one of Takuya fanatic fanz! :hehe: But he is absolutely right, there is no oterh guys in this world can do as Takuya do ne~~ :mrgreen:

Sakai: Lately, there are many women who thinks they can make it on their own, live alone. To these kind of women, would you feel like giving them help?
Shingo: Yes! I would!
Sakai: When you see a lady bringing many bags in her hands, then when you offer her help, she say, "It's okay, thanks,"....how do you...?
Shingo: Yes, actually I've experienced these kind of situations before, they said, "Its okay...you don't have to.."
Sakai: Sou?? How do you feel with these kinda ladies?
Shingo: I think they should let their guard down a bit...
Sakai: Aaah....
Shingo: I just think it's okay for them to ask a bit of power from the men.... But I guess, that kind of men are not really many nowadays....
Sakai: Yes, yes...it seems though women who works looks pretty, but those who are in love would look prettier...don't you think so?
Shingo: Hmm.... For me...although women who aim for a high goal in her life is wonderful... But if they think they should not lose from men... I don't think that's necessary. Well, I'm not really into man-woman relationship.... but I just want man and woman to be equal, to be treated equally and to have equal positions.
Sakai: I see...but I guess you're in a different generation with mine...so we might had different educations and different views. I think yours and my way of thinking are kinda different... I'm actually pretty shocked with the way women are, nowadays....
Shingo: Aaah...I see...

Well, I'm think I slowly becme a woman like he mention here :hehe:

Sakai: So, is there any sentence ever been said to you by someone, that you can never forget?
Shingo: Ahh... Ee.... Inaho ni narinasai! [Please, become an ear of rice/rice plant!]
Sakai: Inaho ni narinasai...that's...?
Shingo: A taxi driver said that to me, when I was about 13-14 years old...
Sakai: Why?
Shingo: I've worked in this world since I was 10. Then when I was 13-14 years old, right from work, from a studio, I went home with a taxi... That taxi driver asked me, "You must be SMAP's Shingo-kun ne?". Then, the 13 years old me, said, "Yes, that's me...konnichiwaa...". Then he said, "I think you'd be very busy with your works from now on... Inaho ni narinasai!".
Sakai: Ooo...
Shingo: I didn't understand what he meant with "inaho"....I asked, "What do you mean?". He said, "When one inaho becomes bigger, it's head will get lower and lower.... Shingo-kun, you might have to work hard from now on...you'll go through happy times and painful times... But, when you get bigger, remember to always lower your head,". That's what the taxi driver told me, it really stayed in my mind until now.
Sakai: What a good driver, he was...
Shingo: Yes!
Sakai: So you gave him tips?
Shingo: I don't think....
Sakai: You didn't??
Shingo: Well...

(laughs)

Sakai: Is that so...
Shingo: To think of it now, that time I was really only 13 years old...a small, pure kid... I feel really grateful to him for saying that to me.
Sakai: So it was something said to you, more than 10 years ago...but you still remember it?
Shingo: Sou desu ne...

wow~~he got a great mind, he still can remember what the taxi driver advice him even its a ten years ago.

Sakai: Men don't really cry, do we?
Shingo: Yes.
Sakai: When my mother died, I cried. But when my father died, I didn't cry at all. Why? Because I felt like I have to live on by myself from now on and work hard just like my father. So I didn't have time to cry. Somehow, I felt like I've become a man, that time. My whole life, I've only cried once.

Shingo: Reeaaally???
Sakai: *smiles*
Shingo: How about when you watch movies, or something like that?
Sakai: It made us cry, but it didn't come from inside us...
Shingo: Ohh... But I, myself, cry quite alot.
Sakai: Is that so?
Shingo: I've cried many times.
Sakai: How much?
Shingo: Quite much...
Sakai: Like when you watch movies?
Shingo: No...from inside me, like when I feel stale...
Sakai: Eh? Stale? What do you mean?
Shingo: Stale is like, when I think too much...mmm... Then there's these alot of things going on in my head...it makes me stale...

Sakai: Aaa... Something like an explosion, inside you?
Shingo: I guess so.... When that happen, I cry...
Sakai: Hmmm... Aa! Sorry! I just remembered, I've cried once more! You see...I got divorced... Then, there's this photo of my child... One day, when I see that...suddenly, my tears came out...
Shingo: Hee...though, that's a photo you always see daily...but...
Sakai: Yes, yes. Though I always see that photo everyday, just that one day...suddenly I felt something from inside me... Like, I feel I've done something really bad to my child. So, I cried...
Shingo: *nods* Aaah...

Sakai: You must've gone through happy times, sad times, good times and bad times in your life...which is alot more? In reality...

Shingo: *thinks* ......DEFINITELY, the happy and fun times!
Sakai: Ah, sou?
Shingo: I'm VERY happy now!
Sakai: Including on your job?
Shingo: Yes!! I have lots of work...everyday, everyday, I always get jobs...
Sakai: Really... Do you have time to have a vacation, at all?
Shingo: Not really... But, even so, right now...I feel happy. When I feel that I've been through the happy and fun times more than the painful and sad times...it means that, I must've really love my job...

I feel sad reading this. I can imagine, how is Shingo when he feel sad and crying. He always happy and try to make everyone smile, but sometimes, I can feel how he try to hide the sickness and pain he had. Being an artiste in a very young age, means he have to sacrifice everything in his life. Even his love maybe :shakehead: :shakehead:

yanie_chan wrote:Sakai: So... Have you ever think of marriage? Not like you'd like to do it or not...but, something like, the ideal marriage for you....

Shingo: Not so long ago... I've thought about it.... But, recently...I've never thought about it anymore... well...

Sakai: I guess it must be difficult for you, to get married at this time around, ne?
Shingo: Sou desu ne....
Sakai: Well, I know there's a married person in SMAP... But, maybe for you, you better be alone for now?

Shingo: Anoo... These 1-2 years...it seems like I've come to love my job alot... Like even when I do things that somehow related to my job, like watching movies or listening to musics...then, to have many thoughts about it...I really love doing that...

Sakai: Then if you mix that with marriage... Maybe it'll result in an unhappiness?
Shingo: *thinks* ........ Just one thing for sure.... I've always think of many things and I talk to myself, and question myself about those things... When I talk to myself about marriage in my head....really, there's no way for that right now...

Looks like Miss A have to wait for many years again ha~~~ :hehe: :hehe:

Sakai: I see...but maybe when the right woman comes, ne... So, what type of woman is a wonderful lady for you?

Shingo: Wonderful, huh.... Eeto...*laughs*....wonderful lady....
Sakai: *laughs* Okay, so maybe not the types you've dated before...but just..when you see this woman, you think, "How wonderful she is..."...like that....

Shingo: Right now... It's gotta be Saiyuuki's Master, Fukatsu Eri-san! I like her alot!

I'm a little bit shock when he mention Fukatsu Eri. Well, I do think he will said "Yuuka!" coz as far as I know, he likes Yuuka very much than other actress.

yanie_chan wrote:I'm VERY glad to hear Shingo said, "I'm VERY happy now!!" ^v^ I wish I can hear each SMAP member say this^^

Yanie thanksssssssssss for the translation! LOVE IT!

Im glad Shingo likes Fukatsu Eri cause i love her too!

I wish I can find other members' interviews like this one. Coz I also wanna know what would the other members say, if they're asked like this.

Tamaki, Tamaki.... I go hysterical when I see him, these few days...haha!

By the way, his girlfriend for the past 2 years is Kato Rosa, one of the casts in Matsu Takako's new drama, Yakusha Damashii. Did you watch IiTomo Autumn SP, where there are Nodame team, Yakusha team also Tsuyoshi's BokuAruku team?? When Kato Rosa, Tamaki's girlfriend, move forward to shoot the arrow... The audience reacted and they were so noisy, like they realized the boyfriend is near. Then, NAKAI points his finger to Tamaki!! Haha...naughty Nakai... But he didn't say anything, just kinda point to Tamaki... Wish the camera shoot Tamaki's face though^^

Oh, by the way!!! Kanno Miho have a new drama in FujiTV next season!! :dancing: With Tanihara Shosuke! I love that guy! That means, Miho will appear in IiTomo!
The Tuesday 10PM slot in FujiTV has not been decided.... I keep praying to myself, that there's gonna be a BusuKoi sequel!!! hahaha.... If that happens, then my fanfic can become a reality!! Goro and Miho appear together in IiTomo SP!!! :rofl: :rofl:

Fye_D.Flowright wrote:hehe~~yea yanie-chan. I prefer Yuuka or Arisa much more than Fukatsu Eri :hehe:

Souka? But as an actress, I still prefer Eri-chan than Yuka or Arisa. :)

Now I always watch SMAP's old clips,, and I cant used to see Mori in there,, he's leaving for nearly 11 years liao,, when I see him,, I felt weird,, dunno why,, and his singing voice is almost the same as Goro's,, sometimes I can recognise who is whose... :rofl:

U and Fye are totally opposite har?? hehe... :hehe:

Where are you planning to go to buy tomorrow? I think S&M shops that sell CDs will be closed starting tomorrow.

Fye, I was kinda worried too, at first!! When I heard he give himself 50 points...and as an actor, 40 points.... I thought, "Ehh...is that okay?? I hope that doesn't mean he don't have confidence in himself?"

I think that's what Sakai, the host, was disappointed about too, in the beginning, maybe he thought, "This kid doesn't have confidence in himself!".

But then Sakai's face seems brighter when Shingo said, "If I find that goal, I'll pretend I don't see it...and just aim for another goal post at the further front,".
Ahhh....this is such a good answer! He give himself such low points, is just because he doesn't want to be satisfied too much, with himself... If he's already satisfied with himself, maybe he'll stop to work harder, and he don't want that. Giving himself such low points, might make him try to do even better ne^^ I love that about him!!!

Fye_D.Flowright wrote:Looks like Miss A have to wait for many years again ha~~~

Yeah, ...it seems none of the members will get married this year :hehe: And Elaine's prediction abt Shingo getting married first, might be wrong :hehe: :hehe:

I think that's wonderful!! It means, his ideal type of woman, is not only those with big chest!! :rofl: I got worried about that. So, I'm glad he answered Fukatsu Eri.

Thank GOD!!! He didn't answer, "Iijima Naoko" :usuck:
