MASSU


-When did you feel the "Work switch" work recently?
I think it was when Tegomass released "Aoi Bench". I was really nervous! We never did covers before, I felt like there was a big hurdle in front of me. We had to keep the image of the original song and also to add the Tegomass touch. Isn't it frustrating when you can't overcome a problem? I wanted to express the beauty of the song to the fans of the original one and to the fans listening to it the first time with our version, we did our best to do it and it came out well! Usually anyway my work mode doesn't switch so suddenly. During lives or shooting dramas there are many preparations to do, make-up, clothes, the stage, etc, so I change little by little doing all them. During shootings for magazines the time is shorter so I think that it's there that you can see me at the most close to natural.

-How do you become when the "Play switch" is on?
I don't particularly change. When I went to climb Mt.Fuji the tension was high since the preparations. You know, last year I didn't make to the top, I'm still full of sense of revenge. I haven't planned it yet though...Somebody wants to reach the top of Fuji with me?

-In which moments do you go in a "Complete OFF mode"?
Mood! In the days in which I want to go completely OFF I just slack around reading fashion magazines and watching TV. Only in the evening I feel moved realizing that I spent the whole day in luxury. In my day-off I usually go to eat dinner with friends, I use to take a shower 2 hours before going out. Then I drink some milk or soy milk, I choose careful my clothes, then I go out, without any haste. It's nice to go to a meeting after a milk tea. I love to have some time on my own ♥

-What kind of girl makes your switch to go ON?
Girls who know about style, somebody who can say "I love clothes!" or "This look nice on you". Because this would mean that our tastes are similar. Isn't important to have matching hobbies? Moreover, I like girls with soft, kind character, if they're moderately calm I'd totally go after them. I'm the type who prefers to catch instead of be caught. Anyway even if she's close to my ideal if she talks in a rude way or has a weird way of talking I get cold. I'd be careful if she says "It doesn't fit you" maybe.



-Something that you were really ON about lately?
I've been buying lots of stick gums in the last half year. I've bought some once because I've heard that powder gum was a trend, so I thought that it was a lot of time that I didn't eat gums. That's how I found again the goodness of gums! The way they're all nicely packed one by one. How they have the shining paper under the colored one. Powder gums can't compete with it!. Stick gums are the best. Try it everybody!

[WHY?]

-Can you tell the difference between ON and OFF modes in the members?
Shige's the most easy to understand. When we're in the dressing room doing nothing and I try to talk to him "Nee, Shige..." I often find him sleeping leant on the table. If you search for him he's always sleeping (lol). The others are not like that so he catches a lot of attention. I'd never sleep for example. It's everybody's freedom to do whatever they want if they are able to switch to work mode at any time. That's why we leave him as he is .
