TEGOSHI

-When did you feel the "Work switch" work recently?
I could feel the switch going ON while we Tegomass sing the new song "Aoi bench"! When we went to a music tv show we sang it in front of many other artists. It wasn't a match or anything but everybody was very serious about the song so I felt like I couldn't lose.

-How do you become when the "Play switch" is on?
Anywhere there are 23 years old boys (lol). When I go out with friends the spirits get naturally high. I have many friends older than me but they're all guys with a big playful spirit. To me they are the best friends ever, also when we get all high being stupid. That's why even if I'm tired I can feel good again going to play soccer with them. When I have a day-off I'm totally going to play soccer without saving energy and giving all myself to the chase of the ball.

-In which moments do you go in a "Complete OFF mode"?
When I have no plans to play soccer there are also days in which I don't see my friends. When I can be all alone I go in my Complete OFF mode. In those days I go to see movies or to eat dinner. Now I'm on diet so I like to go to Japanese restaurants to eat helthy food. Vegetables are good to health and you can eat a lot of them so I'm always satisfied.

-What kind of girl makes your switch to go ON?
The girls who make my switch ON are the ones who are always smily like they're having good time and who can put all themselves into something. Girls who have dreams and objectives have a charm with their sparkly expressions. If I see a girl who makes me think "I want her as girlfriend!" I can't stay still. I'm like this since the elementary school . I was always pushing, pushing and keep on pushing on the girls. I kept inviting her to play or to eat with me, it was so easy to tell my feelings. Instead my mode goes OFF with girls who can't read the atmosphere. When everybody's having fun and somebody ruins it saying "That's stupid!", these kind of cold girls are somehow... My mode goes OFF also with girls who are immediately very friendly and free. If I think it's no from the first time I don't enter in love mode anymore. The first impression is really important.

-Something that you were really ON about lately?
Maybe travels. I went to Okinawa for around a week in January. I spent some relaxing time in that warm place. I ate a lot of good things, like Tofu and my beloved Goya Chanpur. I also did Winkboard in open sea, it was funny! Next time I want to do a trip alone leaving with the train. The ideal place would be somewhere full of nature where I can relax! I love trips with "relax" theme.

-Can you tell the difference between ON and OFF modes in the members?
I can't! I think that members aren't the type to change a lot when they're excited. Yamashita-kun and Kei-chan are always the same, when they work or not. Shige is always calm, cool and collected . Ah, Ryo-chan when is playing guitar he's always in ON mode. He has the face of a kid with his favourite toy. Then, Massu is always very silent but during concerts he talks a lot. Eh? Wait! The one with the most violent gap between ON and OFF mode is me!? (lol) When I'm on stage my tension is very high so I'm invincible and I can say lots of stuff like "Let's love each other!". Watching the DVD I wonder if the other members are ashamed because I am a lot!
