R-ONE KAT-TUN NO.198
Dated : 12th January 2010
KAT-TUN’s DELICATE RUMOURS SECTION
Rumour : Nakamaru-kun would drive Ueda-kun every time
U : (laughs) Ma, this sounds like Nakamaru-kun is my driver.
N : (laughs) Attsu [1]? That’s not true.
U : On the contrary, I’m the one who drove him more often.
N : In the past?
U : When I first bought my car, at the time when I just got my driving license.
N : Ah, yes, I usually sat on the passenger’s seat.
U : Indeed, and you fell asleep?
N : Yep.
U : It was on the way to work, so I would pick Nakamaru-kun up.
N : That was a big help! I had never felt so at ease before (laughs)
U : Hn~ But I don’t know why, I had to emphasize this every time~ For example, if I said I’m going to pick you up at 5, you wouldn’t believe me. And you would say, “You will reach at 5? I’ll shower first.” (laughs)
N : (laughs) That’s not true!
U : (laughs) It is! And because of that, you would be late!
N : Really?
U : Yes.
N : I’ve completely forgotten. If this is true, I apologise.
U : It often happened.
N : That’s not true!
U : Nakamaru-kun would often be late.
N : Ah, that’s possible. Even when I said, “I’m coming” over the phone, I ended up dillydallying.
U : Yep. Hence from then on, I would mail you saying, “I’ve reached” when I was just getting out of the house (laughs).
N : (laughs) I see. It’s really relaxing to be the passenger.
U : I missed it, it’s been 5 to 6 years.
N : Indeed.
Translator’s notes:
[1] “Attsu” refers to a man who drives a woman around for free; or a man who is used by a woman for his car.

RIGHT NOW I'M OBSESSED WITH FUGASHI
DUET - June 2010
We can only look forward. KAT-TUN talks about the latest in their lives. Right now they are in the middle of their nationwide tour. Not to mention, they just released their new single "Going!" We asked them about topics they were most interested in at the moment and presented them in a keyword format. Check it out!
NAKAMARU YUICHI
(LIVE) For the moment being, my mind is filled with everything about the LIVEs. If there is a it of free time I'll be asked about costumes and ideas. I've been especially focused on what I'll be doing with my solo song, that's really all my mind has been thinking about. I was thinking about doing a medley like I've done in the past and have been making some progress continuously meeting with the staff.
(Fugashi) Right now I'm obsessed with fugashi (japanese cheap sweet snack). I've always liked them. Once in awhile I'll go to a convenient store to buy one to eat and reminsce about the past. I don't get the fancy new flavors or the molasses flavored ones. I'll say "There's a yellow colored one!" Since I'm a red guy myself (laughs). I bought a box of them so I could constantly eat them, yesterday at ate 2 sticks before bed, this morning alone I've already eating 4 sticks. Pairing it with cola or cranberry juice makes an outstanding combo.
(Deco-mail) I don't really have preference when it comes to girls' appearances but girls that don't give off a feeling of cleanliness are not on my list. Well, there is a wide strike zone (laughs). Girly types are also okay but mainly cleanliness is important. However, I think I might be bad with gaudy and flashy clothing and makeup. There isn't really anything girls do that make my knees weak. Ah, aah! I right be relatively weakened by decorative emails (laughs). Those kinds of emails are kind of cute aren't they?
(Love) We've been performing LIVEs recently and when fans get really excited and happy for us, I've been wondering how I should act. That's "love" isn't it. The most important thing in life is love! To have a caring heart is important I think. If you can't give love, you can't receive it either. Eh? Does something stink?
(Class) College classes have begun! And so, on top of LIVEs I have no time! This year I'm taking a new class in sociology. Last year with the same professor I took "Environment of Public Welfare", it asked, how should we go about creating a society where handicapped and non-handicapped can live? I was hugely interested in that topic so I wanted to study it more. My new interest is in stair guidance, I don't know much about it but I'm trying hard to learn. No matter how busy I get with work I've decided to make time to study properly. If I don't have anything going on, I basically get to bed around midnight, I wake up at 8am and study for at least 3 hours. Today I studied before coming here too.

Translator's notes:
- LIVE means concert
- Fugashi (look at the picture above) a batter cut into long blocks, baked twice to a golden brown, and then showered in brown sugar. Its texture, a combination of sponge, air, and flake, is like a cross between a soft piece of sugar toast and a croissant."
- Gaudy and flashy clothing and makeup - looked up the specific japanese word he used to describe the kind of girl that's not his type, this is what I got on google but I guess that's not too gaudy, the tan might just be dark?
- When maru says "That's 'love' isn't it". I can't tell if he's referring to the fans or him being concerned about how to act. I'm leaning towards him thinking that fans who are happy to see KAT-TUN = love. ^_^ either way its a win win!
