Q1. Thank you so much for your work today! To start things off, give us your impressions after the recording.
I always struggle with this question, so if you’re asking what I’m thinking right now, I guess “We’re finally done…!” (laugh)
Q2. This is your second drama CD volume as part of Rubileo. Have your impressions of your own character or the band members changed since last time? Were there any points that you were especially conscious of when acting?
Compared to last time, I was more confident as Kurono. I didn't have a bad impression of Mashiro to begin with, but since he was the focus of this story, my opinion of him only improved.
The part where you see the change in Mashiro's attitude when speaking about his dedication to music was very heart-warming. Thanks to this story, I realised that Rubileo was taking a next step in their career.
Q3. In this volume, Rubileo shot their CD jacket. Do you have any personal memorable moments from magazine shoots that you'd like to share?
I'm not very good at being photographed, but I'm trying very hard with the advices photographers and editors give me.
To me, the most important thing is to have fun and joke around with the staff. Thanks to NG cuts, I get to make weird faces and just as strange poses: I get scolded by my manager, but at least the photographer likes it (laugh)
Q4. In the image of Rubileo going to a sushi-go-round, what is the first thing you would order at a sushi bar?
It depends on the time and place, but I generally get white meat fish. I feel like if I eat red meat or something with a strong flavour first, I won’t be able to appreciate the delicate taste of the white meat ones… As mentioned in the drama CD, I too try to pick something light, like squid. Even if I’m full already, I’ll wrap up dinner with an egg! (laugh)
Q5. Finally, do you have any comments for your fans who are looking forward to the release of the CD?
The previous volume has helped you to discover Rubileo. This time around, you got to delve deeper into Rubileo's musical activities, the depth of their bond and learn more about their respective personalities, which makes me look forward to their future a lot. I hope you will as well, and will enjoy Vol.2. Thank you very much!
