Q&A.

Q, You’ve dyed your hair blonde for the first time in your life. Please tell me what you really think!

A, I’ve dyed my hair in preparation for my role and I’m happy cause I’ve always wanted to try it for a long time. However I wasn’t used to my new hair so when I saw my reflection in a mirror and shop window I thought like this, “Who is in the window? Oh, it’s me!”

Q, What your favorite food you feel like to eat?

A, Beef curry at cafe where I often go! I’ve always loved to eat curry and it tastes good enough to be able to eat forever. (laugh) Also, appropriate hardness of rice for the curry is another favorite point for me.

Q, What’s your new summer fashion item you’ve bought recently?

A, Since I’ve dyed my hair, I bought patterned shirt I’ve never worn before. I think if my hair is bright color, it will fit me even if I wear flashy clothes. I think I’ll choose colorful outfits more than usual in this summer.

I heard you’re a extreme stationery freak. Please let me know if you have any recommendations these days.

I highly recommend “blen” if I choose from ballpoint pen. It’s designed to prevent writing vibration so its sense of stability is amazing!

You can write smoothly and stressfully so I’m sure you’ll get addicted once you start to use. Despite that, it costs 165 yen and it sells at a reasonable price so I think it’s the best ballpoint pen for daily use.

What do you write using the best ballpoint pen?

I usually draw pictures. The other day, I drew each other’s portrait with Suda Masaki and Nakano Taiga. I also love to use it to add words to the script. I always take it with me.

Other things I’m into..wait, is it alright that I talk enthusiastically only about stationery?

Sure, please tell me more about it.(laugh)

I’m into writing letter (character) or drawing pictures using a white pen on black notebook. I bought about fifteen black notebooks.

It’s a bulk purchase! I think it seems hard to store them cause you’ll continue to buy.

Actually, that’s the problem…
They’ll be piled up since I’m bad at cleaning up. I’m a kind of person that clean up all at once, so I’ll do decluttering at that time.

What makes you feel relaxed after you finished cleaning up?

I enjoy singing songs or playing video games in bathroom. I like to have a long soak so it’s my best time to take a relaxing bath.

What kind of songs do you sing?

Mostly I sing anime songs, and my favorite song is “Ho-kago Tea Time” from the band of the animation series of “K-ON!”. I’m particular about to sing the song in an original key. (laugh) I’ve been practicing to sing it in an original key cause it’ll be completely different if I sing it an octave lower.

Music is essential to me. When I feel down, I listen songs which lift me up for caring my mental, and moreover, I listen gaming background music before action scenes to motivate myself.
