why am I not asleep? oh right, because I'm obsessed

[rensahannou]

Someone on tenimyu scanned and uploaded a magazine interview with Setomaru and the newest D-Boy, the new Kaidoh (can't remember his name). The pictures are completely adorable, and I've been spending the last 2 hours or so trying to translate parts of the interview -- well, Setomaru's parts, anyway.

And EVERYTHING I FIND OUT ABOUT THIS BOY MAKES ME LOVE HIM MORE.

I think I'll try to translate what I can of the whole interview and post it, but here are the highlights of what I've figured out so far:


So, I was just kind of skimming the interview, seeing if I could pick out anything especially interesting -- not really, until Setomaru started talking about when and why he decided to become an actor. He said that in middle school, he wanted to be a "獣医". Now, I just glanced over this word because I didn't instantly recognize it, but then when he said later how after seeing a certain drama he told his mom he wanted to be an actor (which is adorable), I realized that what he had wanted to be in middle school wasn't an actor.

Now, this is a little weird -- for some, insane reason I thought "oh, I wonder if he wanted to be a veterinarian." THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO REASON FOR ME TO THINK THIS. Other than, I suppose, the fact that I love animals. So I go back to the kanji, and I think I recognize that second one -- it's in the kanji for "doctor." So then I think "hmm, he wanted to be a doctor?" And then I look up that first kanji -- and find out it means "animal."

...I about died. I looked up the whole word, saw it meant "veterinarian," and proceeded to giggle like crazy.

After recovering from that (which took awhile), I went on to another interesting part of the interview -- the question was something along the lines of "Now, for our readers, we're going to ask this -- the two of you, what's your 'type'?"

Setomaru immediately replies with "I really like fair-skinned people!" Other guy -- I can remember his first name, it's "Tomo," so we'll just go with that -- says "Oh no, you said it first! Me too." Then they say some stuff that I totally don't understand, and then Setomaru talks about how during his school trip in high school, the bus tour guide was fair-skinned and really pretty, and he got his picture taken with her. Then:

Tomo: Really?! (laugh)
Setomaru: Yep. When I see a fair-skinned person, the tension rises! (laugh)

....Yeeeeah. He says "テンション上がる" ("tension agaru"), and with the crazy way they use the word "tension" in Japanese, I can't really tell exactly what that's supposed to mean. But, I think I can get the general idea. *giggle*

Then, when the interviewer asks Setomaru what else he likes (in a person), he says "Someone cute and pretty," and then "両方持ってる子がいいです," and I'm totally clueless about that. But anyway, he then says "But, a kind person is good."

And then comes the best part. The interviewer asks "Seto-kun's ideal is high, isn't it?" and he answers "Yep! That's why I don't have a girlfriend (laugh)."

...That amuses me to no end. ♥

Then Tomo talks some more, and says something else he likes in a person, which Setomaru agrees with. The interviewer mentions that they like a lot of the same things. Tomo says "Maybe..." and Setomaru says "Rival!! (laugh)" (also adorable)

Interviewer: So, what would you two do if you liked the same person?
Tomo: Wah~ That would be awkward!
Setomaru: I...wouldn't surrender!
Tomo: I would surrender.

*giggle* At the end, Setomaru says "I definitely wouldn't hand over the person I like! (Obviously)" The interviewer says something about him being "surprisingly enthusiastic" (or something along those lines), to which he replies "Yep, because I'm a Kyuushu boy!"

Gah. He's so friggin' cute. ♥ That "Yep, that's why I don't have a girlfriend" just kills me. And the veterinarian thing. And the fact that he's ADORABLE BEYOND WORDS.

...So yeah, now I want to buy the magazine. :D



I'M SO TIRED. ♥
