On being a "man"
Being in love, wanting to love someone as the last one you will love, wanting to love someone forever and ever.... Men that think like this are good men. But this is a difficult issue. So I think people who can make these feelings a reality are so cool. I admired those people who keep on to date their secondary school date and go on to marry the same person. People are full of contradictions and selfish, it's difficult to keep on treasuring the same person/thing. It's the same as clothes and shoes and bags. People get to meet many different peoples. So you have to stop meeting people when you have someone you love, or maybe even if you meet someone you will have to not let them contact you... This is a lonely story. (smiles) But if I can, I want to be a man who will keep on loving just one girl.

On unhappy spells in life
People who bought this CD (J Friends "I will get there"), you are giving strength to someone around you. Maybe, you are feeling down now, thinking "I am not needed" and becoming worried. But this loneliness, worry, sadness, pain and tears are what make you; in the future, "you" will be needed so much by someone. Then you will think "I was lucky to have had this (sad) experience before. So I understand how my friend feels now and can become his strength." That is exactly what happened to me.

On believing in fortune telling
I often read the parts on fortune telling in magazines. For example, if I read "This month, you will meet someone special this day", I will become very concerned. But it never comes true (angry) Ah... 1999 is coming to a close!
(The Television November, 1999)
On travelling overseas
Even if I get a rest, I won't feel like travelling. If someone plans it and I go along with the plan, that's fine. But having to book the air ticket and checking the hotel reservation is so troublesome. (smiles) I can't do anything on my own, or maybe I don't have the ability to judge; I'm the type of person who does not know how to react when a trouble occurs. If I lose my passport overseas, I will panic. So when travelling, it's best to go with my manager. (laughs)
Note from webmaster: I know that the organiser releasing their flight details to the press is partly to blame, but the actions of some of the Hong Kong fans really were out of order. The way they pulled and pushed Tsuyo chan and knocked on the window of Kinki's car was so rude. It scared the hell out of Tsuyo chan. My poor Tsuyo chan's face looked so pale when he walked out of the airport. Please if you love Tsuyo chan, be polite and don't scare him anymore. He needs TLC (tender loving care)!

A birthday message for Kou chan
In Kou chan's birthday TV programme, Tsuyo chan gave Kou chan a special message:
Here is a omaebukuro (the "you bag") where I put your stuffs in. The first one is the black plastic framed-glasses. When you think that you threw it away and I caught it from behind. (Kou chan watching this video and said Tsuyo chan could not have got it.) I am keeping this so that one day when you get married and you have kids, you can show your kids that daddy once wore glasses like this. (putting it inside the omaebukuro). Then this is your motherly costume worn when dancing behind Smap (video of Kou chan wearing that pink dress with apron and wig dancing behind Smap was shown. Tsuyo chan held the entire costume complete with the wig and put it into the omaebukuro). And this omaebukuro is my birthday present to you!" (Kou chan screaming, "NO!!!")
Then comes the message from Tsuyo chan to Kou chan:
"Dear Partner, Happy Birthday!
From the day we met, we have always been sharing happy and unhappy moments together. When I was down and crying, you looked at me silently and feeling lost about what to do to help me. I would never forget the way you looked at me in those times. And when you came to me to talk with me, as a partner, I was so happy. We have a lot of memories together. I would not say that there are enough of them though. I still want to keep on accumulating them. At this important moment of your birthday, I
wish you a Happy Birthday.
With all my heart, from Tsuyoshi.
(Happy Birthday Kouichi 1st January, 2000)
On his past relationship
In real life, I had experienced something similar. There was this one girl who was not the one I was dating that made me think, "this girl is fine". But this "fine" girl had a boyfriend back then, So I tried my best to suppress my feelings. In the end, my relationship with my then girlfriend just came to an end....

On getting angry
I seldom get angry over things concerning myself. In my high school days, once there was this guy trying to take pictures of me when I was walking to school. I instantly wanted to rebuke him for that. But because there are people buying those photos, so there are people taking those photos. At that time, my friend said, "No, you can't raise your hand on that guy" and stopped me, so nothing happened.
In conclusion, living in this world, I think there are more maddening happenings than living an average life. Also, since we have to control ourselves rationally in those situations, so naturally we become better at controlling ourselves. The youngsters nowadays seem to get angry rather easily. They should remember how to put up with situations. If you get mad just because someone touches your shoulder as you walk past, it's just because you have not had enough training.
(The Television September, 1999)
On his own policy
Things that are important tome are: thinking in other's shoes, treasuring one's own self, and not trying too hard. But that's difficult. Thinking in other's shoes and treasuring one's own self are opposites. Trusting people immediately and protecting your friends will naturally evolve into something else. There were times when I got angry. There were times when I cried alone. Those were tears with such feelings as "regrets, sadness and disbelief in what's happening..." But I start to be told to take better care of myself, things change.

On becoming Japan's Premier
I want to make life a bit more relaxed. (smiles) I will write that into the constitution. That's not what is supposed to be written into a constitution. (laughs) Japanese work too hard. Let's take better care of ourselves.
(Wink Up August, 1999)
On treating his lover
How will I treat my lover? I will only show to my lover my weaker side. Men like to pretend to be tough outside, but want to depend on the woman he loves. I have a different view point on such issues concerning manhood as times when a man feels strong and times when the weaker side is being recognised. I thought that when a man is strong, he will lead the woman, protect her and let her depend on him. But I also came to notice that when a man realises his weakness, that's very masculine too. So now, if I have a girlfriend, rather than falling asleep with her in my arms, I would rather fall asleep in her arms. I want to dig out all the weaknesses in me. But at the end of the day, women are stronger than men. So I will follow that. (smiles) I won't have any strange pride. I am looking for someone who will like this real me. If someone does not love the real me, the relationship won't go well. I think that a man who can show his lover his weaker side is real cool.
(Wink Up September, 1999)
On becoming Johnny san
When asked what will he do to Kinki Kids if he became Johnny san:
Off! I will give them 3 months off and this will be the time for them to compose some songs. When there is much time for writing songs, we can write some good songs. So off it will be.
(The Television July, 1999)
On the good points about his partner
The fact that he is cute. Recently, we all went to have Yakiniku (BBQ meat), but his stomach was not feeling alright, he still answered "I want to go anyway" and turned up at the restaurant. He ended up eating a lot. But he went so fa as saying "excuse me, can have a cola please? With a lot of ice please".
(Note from webmaster: I guess Kou chan did not want to break his promise to Tsuyo chan as he once said it in front of the audience and the camera that when Tsuyo chan wanted to have Yakiniku, instead of going there alone, Tsuyo chan should invite him. So sweet....)
(The Television July, 1999)
On dating
People around me tell me that "it's time for me to go out with someone I love", "it may be a good experience if you go out with a girl", etc. That's true. But, what if I go out to have a meal with a girl? Even if she is just a friend, but we get shot by the paparazzi, I don't have the strength of protecting her.
(Luci August, 1999)
On acting in love stories
Actually, I am very poor at acting in love stories. To tell the truth, I am better and more relaxed with drama on friendship such as the last drama "La Periode Bleu".
