Kyo's take on Love and Marriage
- Kera:First of all, tell us about a Valentine's memory.
- Kyo:I'm not given chocolate and things like that very often? Um,
- one time I was given homemade chocolate. The person was standing
- right there and told me "Eat it," and I ate it, but it wasn't sweet,
- it tasted really terrible. At that time, I couldn't say the truth-
- "It's terrible," and when I got home, I threw the chocolate away.
- Basically, I like sweet things, but when I'm on tour or on a
- diet and I receive sweets, it makes me sick.
- Also, my birthday is February 16th. It's annoying when I get
- one present for both my birthday and Valentine's Day. If a holiday
- follows a Sunday, does this person get only one day off!?
- Kera:(Laughs) How would you like to be told by someone that they
- love you?
- Kyo:I would like them to say it mixing dialects. "I like you" or
- something. I want them to say it in a way I've never heard before.
- Kera:On the other hand, what about when you tell someone?
- Kyo:If I try to do it, well, I just can't budge- absolutely not!
- Even if I think, "I want to try and talk to that girl," I'm not able
- to do that.
- Kera:That's to say, the other person must come and talk to you?
- Kyo:I don't meet anyone by that technique. I just let time pass me
- by without making a move (laughs). I'm very pessimistic, so if I talk
- to a girl, and she is cold to me, it wounds me 5 times worse than it
- would other people. That's why the other person doesn't even approach
- me!
- Most people will take that chance many times [of approaching
- someone they like], but in my case, I try to avoid being hurt. It's a
- problem of pride!
- Kera:Conversely, if you are approached by a girl you don't like
- very much, what would you do?
- Kyo:I would be direct about it. "You are gross!" or something like
- that [ It's not so mean when Kyo says this in Japanese,
- but "gross" is the best word I could come up with. ] My idea is sort of
- like "you make me feel uncomfortable". For me, `live honestly' is my
- motto. When you like someone, you are not supposed to mind that
- person's bad points, but I won't do that. I hate the things I hate.
- For me, no matter how ideal a girl may be, if I come home and she's
- raising cockroaches, that's horrible, isn't it?
- Kera:That kind of girl doesn't exist (laughs). When you meet, what
- type of girl do you like? A focused girl? A girl who likes to talk?
- Kyo:All different types. All kinds, from easygoing to cheerful. Oh,
- but a harsh person would be bad. I have a strong ego, so if the girl
- is harsh, won't it be like a sword striking a sword? That would
- bother me.
- Kera:Is there a type of person, about whom you say, for some
- reason, "I'm attracted to this kind of person"?
- Kyo:If she has a really good personality, isn't any type OK? If I'm
- having a conversation, and I have some standard [to judge girls by],
- and the girl's face isn't "the right type", I don't think I would
- want to talk to her. ?Oh, but I'm attracted to a person who is
- considerate and observant.
- Kera:Do you mean a person who will sew a button on right after it
- has fallen off?
- Kyo:And also, wouldn't a person who does that without saying
- anything about it be nice? I grew up in Kyoto, so I have some old
- fashioned ideas. As a specific example, I don't want a girl to walk
- in front of me.
- Kera:Are your ideals high?
- Kyo:I guess they are high.
- Kera:For you, Kyo-san, is love not a very important thing [in a
- relationship].
- Kyo:No, if there is no love, it's boring and it would upset me. But
- love is great (laughs).
- Kera:Do you mean there's a connection between love and a desire to
- create?
- Kyo:That's right! That energy [from love] breathes life into what I
- create.
- Kera:When your emotions are stirred up by love, do you think you
- could write a love song?
- Kyo:I don't want to do that sort of thing. "I am happy, so I will
- try my best at work," or this kind of feeling is what I would think.
- Kera:OK then, Kyo-san, what is your ideal relationship with a girl
- like?
- Kyo:If I'm riding the train, I would like it if we could say bad
- things together about the other passengers. Things like "That
- person's T-shirt is tacky". While we're riding, until we get off,
- we'll continue to say these kinds of bad things. In contrast to that,
- I don't like a girl who would say, "It's bad to say things like
- that". On the other hand, I want her to follow my lead, so we can act
- together.
- For example, if I say, "That person is bald!" the girl would
- go right up next to him, hanging on to the strap, and say "He's
- bald!!" (laughs). A girl who did that for me as I am thinking "I want
- to get off" would be the best.
- And if she also doesn't walk in front of me- well, if that
- girl exists, I'll try hard to please her! I can't even imagine if
- someone were to do such a superb thing for me?
- Kera:Would you end up telling her? [tk: I thing she means would Kyo
- tell the girl that she is wonderful].
- Kyo:Yeah, probably.
- Kera:What about your ideal love? Do you want to be together all the
- time, or do you not think about this?
- Kyo:My personal time is important to me. When I'm alone my work
- (=band) comes before everything else. Since a while ago, when I meet
- girl, I say to her "Work is the most important thing to me, so you
- won't be the most important". It's hopeless if she doesn't
- understand that. If I'm writing a song and a girl calls and
- says "Whacha doing?" I'll think "Whaaaat? (angry)". I think I would
- make a tight fist. It's that I hate interruptions.
- Kera:And lastly, what are your thoughts on marriage?
- Kyo:Marriage, yeah; isn't that an issue concerning the other
- person's feelings? About things like the wedding and the reception,
- it's not necessary to have many people attend. I would like to be
- married at a temple. There would be a 2 o'clock mokutou [ silent
- prayer]. Isn't that tasteful!
- And there's no need to wear wedding clothes either. If your
- everyday clothes are neat, that's fine, I think. Some people
- say, "The ceremony has to be at a church" and "You need to wear a
- wedding dress"- I hate people who are bound by conventions.
- Kera:Certainly, it seems it's not necessary to worry about clothes.
- Kyo:But if you want to look pretty? How about blue fish? Ocean fish is pretty, isn't it? It would be nice if you hollow out the inside and wear that. It's certainly pretty, and it's blue!
- Well, if just fish doesn't cut it, wouldn't it be nice if you put on
- a flower pattern badge (laughs).
- Kera:That's absolutely a joke (laughs).
- Kyo:No, thereabouts, if I see something flying by, I'll
- say "Really?" (breaks into laughter)
