SKE Members Interview Part 2

Translation of SKE members interview Part 2. Where we learn that Jurina tasted Rena’s ear countless time and had in mind to make it even sexier than it turn out to be (*Φ皿Φ*)

—-

Hiramatsu Kanako : You can find members in love with each others here and there indeed.  If I had to marry someone I’d pick Masana!! I feel like she would never cheat on me and she would firmly control our finances.

Masana : Eh? For those reasons?! (lol)

Interviewer : Next, tell us about the highlights of this MV you shoot  in Okinawa!

Jurina : Love knows no rule, that’s probably the theme.  However I think that for everyone the most shocking part will be the kiss scene between Kumi and Kanon. 

Kumi : I want everyone to watch that scene with a critic mind. If you’re comfortable watching it and just go “Ah, they’ve done it”, that will help us greatly (lol).

Kanon : I’ve already been told during HS that it was “shocking/devastating/astonishing”.

Kumi : There were also a lot of persons who were envious (lol).

Ogiso : Another noticeable scene is the kiss between Rena-san and Jurina-san!

Jurina : I was supposed to kiss Rena-chan’s ear but during the shooting I received tons of indications from the director, so I had to do it again and again. It was embarrassing at first but at some point, I started giving my own opinion and took things in hand. Finally, I was told 「You can’t do it too sexy either!」 (lol).

Kaneko : It was the first for me shooting a scene in a love hotel, it was intimidating wasn’t it? While the girls were playing with their cosmetics, there was that scene between Kanako and me, right?~

Hiramatsu Kanako : Hum. It was originally planed than we would be putting make up on each other but suddenly we were kissing…. It felt really rushed.

Kin-chan while approaching to kiss me actually collided her nose on mine (lol).

Rena : Ahahahaha. By the way, after shooting this MV did any of you entered the world of same-sex love?!*

Kanon : Shooting was fun, but truth is we only made a small step into that world…

Kumi : Exactly. If there was more to it than this, that would be quite a shock for me (lol).

——

*Simply put : “did any of you turn gay after that?” For all those who didn’t answer that question, can I assume the answer is 「yes」? (；´艸｀)

SKE Members Interview Part 1

Bit too much free time so decided to translate this interview related to KataFai. Topic is, how would the members react if they had a one-sided crush.

SKE48, the prohibited route.

What if the members were to fall for each other?!

「The love hotel shooting was intimidating」 (Kaneko)

SKE48 new single 「Kataomoi Finally」 a song exploring new fields, 「drastically different from what we have release until now」 all the members agree.

Jurina : Until now, our singles were mostly cheerfull and full of pep but this time the atmosphere is serious and mature.

Mizuki : Since our 1st single 「Tsuyokimonoyo」 we always performed with a smile no?

Kanako : Starting with our 2nd single, we always had a bright smile while singing and the atmosphere was healthful. 

Yuria : It had been the same for a long time, so  I remember when we have been first introduced to the song (KataFai) we all hold our breath until the final note.

Rina : Somehow, the more I listened to the lyrics, the more I was penetrated by the subject…

Masana : I like the 「suki nanda kimi ga suki nanda」part in the chorus. In AKB48’s Oogoe Diamond  too they shout “dai sukida” 2 times in a row, I get the feeling that saying it twice really convey the feeling better!

Akari : Usually it’s too embarrasing to pronounce the word 「suki」, but when we sing this song the embarrassment vanishes completely, right?

Airi : And the tune will be stuck your head, there are high chances this song will be a hit. Since the fist time I heard it I thought 「That will sell!」 (lol)

Mag question : In the lyrics the “unrequited love” is written from a boy point of view but if you girls had a one-sided crush, what would you do?

Rena : I’ve never had this kind of experience so… If I had to pick one, Tidus from Final Fantasy X. Because he protected my beloved female character** I completely felt for him!

Kanon : No experience on my side either. But maybe, I’d observe this person from a certain distance, graviting around. I’d try to attract his/her attention I think.

Shiori : Me too I’m not good at convey my feelings so I can’t win him/her over straight away.

Manatsu : Same here, I can’t make the first step so I’m the type to observe from afar and stop there. Then, if our eyes meet I’ll get the wrong idea, like 「Maybe I have my chances!」.

Airi : What a sad delusion (lol)

Shiori : Contrary to you, I’m the type who want to chase after. I want to conquier him/her!

Kuwabara : Same, I’ll go all out until I gained him/her over. Tie him/her up, make him/her rolling on the floor,  force him/her to smell the odor of my indoor shoes…(lol)

In elementary school I threw rubber residue to the kid I liked, but he/she escaped.

Yagami Kumi : You’re great. If I had an unrequited love, I’d probably be consumed by jealousy. Even among members like Kinoshita Yuuko I’m close too, when she has fun with someone else I start thinking 「What about me~?!」 and I get jealous (lol).

* KataFai would be told from a male point of view? The hell Airi?! The hell?! Because they use “boku” in the lyrics don’t mean it’s a male point if view as far as I know… No idea what her comment is based on. Such a let down..

** If Airin failed me in this interview, Rena at least didn’t!

Edit : Airin is bro, my bad for not noticing that right after her answer was the interviewer question. Thanks Nomuumuu for notifying me.

Rena from Prima donna Shooting

While Jurina constantly repeats she wants to put SKE before her own career, Rena  is showing an other approach. Nothing surprising if you consider she is already 20…

Page 1

I don’t like looking at my own pictures…

My favorite colors are ivory, pale purple and　lately green too.

Before I knew it, all the cloths I was buying were green. 

Page 2

I want to stand there someday, acknowledged by the people surrounding me. To stand with their blessing.

Looking back  at this hectic year that was 2011 but where you ranked 10th at AKB general election, what are your thoughts?

Rena - Since the elections, I changed radically, my work increased considerably, people who have their look on me changed. But among the members nothing changed, it stayed the same. It has been a fun year during which I learned a lot about myself.

Tell us about your goal for 2012

Rena - This year I want to greedily take over many things / attract to me a lot of people.

Gree— Greedily?

Rena - I need to become greedy to succeed at making a lot more people know about 「Matsui Rena」 as a person. I want to become prominent and from there lead people to know about 「SKE48」!

* Defined in this page  “Prima donna”, a solitary figure. Never showing her weakness to others, the epitome of dignity.

Interview of Jurina from last December

 

Interview of Jurina dated from last December. (Un)fortunately, no bread talk…

—-

Right border : 「Leave the role of the genki character to the young members … I want to change in many ways.」 by Jurina

Looks like the way you dress has changed lately, no?

J - Really?! Today I opted for a leather riders jacket and black jeans! 　Lately I’ve been  thinking 「It’s about time I can, right? (implied “it’s about time I can wear this”)」

About time you say…(lol)?

J - The first time I appeared in G TV in was still in elementary school (lol).　Since then I’ve loved what you could call cool fashion, but I was restraining myself  because I was too young.

Even though people tend to think you’re older than your real age…

J - The most extreme case was Kuwabara Mizuki’s friend who told me 「You look like you’re 27」!

What the…?!

J - But since I finally enter high school in April, I want to change my image! When speaking of Matsui Jurina everyone says 「She is always genki 」 or something like this, right?

Hum, right now you look in high spirit too.

J - But I want get closer from being an young lady (stated “adult” lady). Among the new members, some girls are younger than me. I should leave the role of the genki character to the young members. I want to try to change in many ways. Maybe the effect of puberty (lol).

A young lady, I see…　Then should we talk about your ideal type of men?

J - Oi (lol)! It’s true that usually I joke a lot, but during work or when the situation requires it I snap back (to her professional and resolute self). I value people with a gap*. Also, I’m popular with women** but the kind of person who says 「I love only you」!

You have a strong image, don’t you? (TLN : fixed, but still quite unclear. Probably meaning an image that makes a strong impression on people)

J - To tell the truth, just yesterday we were talking love stories with a boy from my school***. For example 「Do you think I’m trying to control her too much?」「I wouldn’t do that~」.(TL note: “control” could be interpret like “binding”… emotionally or physically. One could also read this small dialogue as kinky talk… (”’･ω･))

Is there a lot of love stories going on in your school?

J - Around me most people have a lover. Me too I’m told half-jokingly things like 「I love you」 but I reply 「Sorry, would have been with pleasure if I wasn’t in SKE48」 (lol).

Superb parry!

J - I’ve polished my skill to play with word thanks to those theater MCs!　Oh, and this year the number of students who enrolled in my school and who were interested in SKE48 increased! I’m glad when I’m asked things like 「What will be the new song like this time?」.

Indeed this year SKE48 made a leap and became more famous.

J - Thank you! Certainly, I’m very grateful that 「Banzai Venus」made it to top 1 of Weekly Oricon chart. Until then it had always been 2nd or 3rd, we were all thinking 「Next one will be the one!」. 

On the other hand, this year NMB48 and HKT48 have appeared and the competition has increased. 

J - All the members say the same thing, but I think that compared to the other 「48」 SKE48 wins by 「the amount of sweat」spent.　Like never minding how intense we get on stage or how the sweat drench our faces even if we look sloppy (lol).

By  following this course next year and keep polishing our performance skills, I want SKE48 to appeal to people from all around Japan .

On a personal level, what are your ambitions for 2012?

J - I want to be given a solo song in Team S new stage! As for it’s content, I hope it carries an adult feeling to it. I’ve said it before but since I will enter high school, I want to bring out a new Matsui Jurina.

*Someone who has several facets. The opposite of a flat personality. 

**No kidding ( ´艸｀)ハハ

*** People who felt jealous of that brat and/or wished him dead for a split second reading this, raise your hand! ＼( ￣o￣)

Translation of Rena and Jurina from FLASH 2012.01.24

Same-sex love, bullying, violence… Insight from SKE48 members about the MV packed with shocking scenes of their new single 「片思いFinally」.

In those pages, the famous “two top”  present us with the 「Forbidden Love gravure」.

Jurina : Normally I’m the one who hug tightly the other members, but today, Rena(chan) startled me* when she suddenly approached my ear. 

Rena : Rather than simply drawing closer, I thought I would take advantage of the situation. I’m probably extremely selfish. When I feel like being spoiled, you should let me do as I please, when I’m not in the mood (not feeling like being spoiled) you should leave me alone. That’s how I am (lol).

Q : Now, about the long awaited new single PR (preview release?)

Jurina : Until now SKE48 had a “genki” image (full of pep, positive, easy going etc), this single carries a more adult image, appropriate for 2012. And because the members get along well, we could realize such a MV.

Rena : I’m sure those who already knew about SKE48 will be greatly surprised by the MV, but using this new song vigor/momentum, I want 2012 to become the year when SKE48 will meet with major success**.

Q : Rena has celebrated her entry in adulthood (Coming of age ceremony), Jurina will enter high school this spring. Next time, what type of gravure do you want to deliver.

Jurina : As I enter high school, I think I’ll be given the chance to wear a wider range of clothes*** , I want to overcome my embarrassment and deliver a mature image / pose like an adult****. 

Rena : I want to ty to cosplay seriously based on a anime or a manga character. Fans often tell me 「You should try it」. I’d be really happy to do it (cosplay) for a gravure.

* there is a wide range of possible interpretations for ドキッと like “being extremely surprised/taken aback/ to panic” or…”to be flustered”.

** may your wish become true Rena-chan! Let’s break 1 million sales with KataFai!(☄ฺ◣д◢)☄ฺﾜｼｬｰ

*** call me prude, but I certainly hope she doesn’t imply “sexier cloths”, that could wait after she graduate HS.

**** I’m officially worried about that kid…

———

It’s now clear that in the WMatsui relationship, it’s when Rena wants, if she wants and how she wants it （*TωT） Jurina is such a cute little uke when confronted to Rena

Interview of Jurina, Rena, and Akane by Sponichi Annex

Interesting interview of Jurina, Rena and Akane by Sponichi Annex regarding the future of SKE and how to someday surpass AKB.

SKE48 new single 「片思いFinally」 to be release on the 25th.  Last year their 3 singles became n°1 of Oricon Single chart and their popularity is still rising. For a certain time the members have claimed 「We want to surpass AKB」, how close from that goal are they now?

Let’s hear the honest answer from Jurina Matsui (14) , Rena Matsui (20), Takayanagi Akane (20).

Q - What needs to be done next to surpass AKB?

Akane - Something AKB haven’t try yet… What about baseball?!

Jurina - Ohhh, sounds good! *sparkling eyes*

Akane - I like baseball.

Jurina - We haven’t done much regarding sport until now, isn’t it?

Akane - There are lots of athletic members in SKE, that would be great if we could do something related to sport.

Jurina - I want! I want!

Akane - And then when we become strong enough, they will certainly report it in the news. If we reach the point where they think 「How can some idols be that strong?!」, we will certainly gather a lot of attention.

Jurina - Should we really? What if everyone ends up brawny (lol).

Q - If you had to choose, which sport would you select Jurina?

Jurina - I want to play dodge ball. Form a team and if there was a tournament, that would be great fun.

Q - … what about you Rena?

Rena - I’m not fond of sport *gloomy face*.

Akane - Table tennis?

Rena - I can’t play it either.

Jurina - But you can swim right?

Rena - Me, I can’t swim. *even more gloomy face*

Q - So Rena could not enter “SKE sport election”?

Rena - I would not participate.

Akane - Then you would cheer us by singing (lol).

Rena - I will be the manager.

Jurina - But indeed it would be weird/unpleasant  if Rena-chan had to go all out during a game (lol).

Q - In your chase after AKB, did you get closer yet?

……silence of the 3……

Q -  So?

Rena - I don’t think the distance between them (AKB) and us (SKE) has shorten.　Or at least, we can’t spontaneously answer 「Yes, we got closer to them」.

Jurina - But SKE is given more and more chances to do things that have been done by AKB before, it’s a step forward in my opinion.

Q - What should be done to get closer to AKB?

Akane - Our activity as a group is one thing, but there is a need to increase the individual popularity of the members.

Q - Indeed, there are a lot of popular members inside AKB.

Akane - And among them a number of outstanding members keep appearing. I believe we will see an increase of them (AKB members) offer to star in drama.

Jurina - I think the point is that we do things that differ from what AKB has done. Because today you ear people say 「SKE is the Nagoya version of AKB」. I want SKE to show it’s own true color, AKB is AKB, SKE is SKE. I want to be judge for what we are worth, independently.

Q - In my opinion, a good proof that you’ve reach AKB level would be, for example, for your new single 「片思いFinally」 to win the Japan Record Award*. What do you think about winning JRA?

Rena - Until now I had not considered it, but last year when AKB claimed the prize, it seemed like the fans’ awareness changed and we were told 「Do your best as SKE to win JRA too」. 

It’s a path AKB have opened for themselves, I wonder if it’s suitable to become our goal.

Q - Jurina?

Jurina - Award? Let’s take it! (lol) [TN:  賞ですか！？獲りましょう！-> shiou desuka? torimashiou]

Q - That sounds like a pun…

Jurina - The Award may be too much of a dream, but I would like SKE to perform for Kohaku (as SKE).

Q - Last year you performed as part of AKB, among a total 210 members right?

Jurina - We’ve been told by fans 「It was hard to find you」, earring things like this brought us down a bit, I want SKE to perform at Kohaku.

* won in 2011 by AKB with Flying Get. Rena was there to receive the prize and perform as part of senbatsu member (curfew was enforced for Jurina though).

—-

They’ve got it all right. Be yourself, follow your own path.

There is no need for a second AKB. SKE is SKE and we love it because of its uniqueness =).
