tsubasa: Let's see...oh, I often play the computer game. I got this new software about horse racing and this is interesting!

taki: Hmm...I have no idea about it (laugh). I sometimes do this card game installed in my computer though. I think I already mastered it.

tsubasa: You should start emails. It's a lot fun especially to exchange emails with your friends whom you can't often contact.

taki: It just sounds troublesome to me. We can do that by calling, right? I mainly use my computer for editing video clips. That's what I only do at home. Hey, we made your video with using a song "Midnight Shuffle" didn't we? The image of that video is you in the year of 2000.

tsubasa: Ha ha ha, I see. That's good for me because I'm going to change myself from now on. In 2000, I'm going to become more aggressive.

taki: Good! I want to see you more aggressive on TV. But you know what? The funny thing is that I'm always more aggressive and noisy on TV, but in private you keep talking and talking, and I always listen to it.

tsubasa: There are lots of things about my work and my own privacy, which I can talk only with you. You know, I'm always grateful for your all-time help.

taki: Don't say such a thing. It makes me just brush... Oh, you know, I'm thinking about many projects for this year. First of all, I'm going to be a rocker! But I have to be only in charge of the vocal part because I can't play any music instruments (laugh).

tsubasa: Playing a band...sounds fun. I want to play drums because I can do that a little bit.

taki: Great! Why don't we have our own band then? At the concert, we run on the stage with playing. Your drums should be crystal coloreds, by the way.

Tsubasa: What!? It must be weird if we run with drums, especially when we're seen from the back.

taki: OK...then what about flying in the sky together? Say, something like the one we did in 'KYO TO KYO' before, and we do that in Jr's concert then. How about that?

tsubasa: You're too radical (laugh)

taki: I see (laugh). By the way, I feel kinda sorrow about having this hot pot with a guy...

tsubasa: Yeah...oh, by the way how are you doing with love lately?

taki: What a sudden question (laugh). Well, I haven't been in love with anyone for such a long time. But if I fall in love with someone, I think I'll be really hardworking on it, such as calling my girlfriend pretty often. How about you? Are you in love with someone?

tsubasa: me, neither (laugh) We don't talk about such a topic often, do we? We know each other's favorite type though.

taki: Yup, our favorite types and our own style in love are quite opposite, right?

tsubasa: I think so, too. I'm not really hardworking, maybe. If I have a girlfriend, I'll be willing to have my own time. I also don't like neither being neck around with my girlfriend nor restraining her.

taki: On the contrary, I think you are too much in a hurry for love. We shouldn't be hasty about it. I prefer to get it slowly, without showing my feeling of "I'm interested in you." in the beginning.

tsubasa: I'm not hasty! (laugh)

taki: Anyway, we have few chance to get to know girls! (laugh) What we always do is just talking about girls we see in town like, "Hey, don't you think she is cute??" Then, I now know you like kinda unique girls (laugh)

tsubasa: What is that??

taki: I mean you like girls such as those who have thick eyebrows or a peculiar nose like Michael Jackson. You like such girls, don't you?

tsubasa: NO!!! I've never been in love with such girls...even though I told you that I prefer to girls who have some strong points on the face like having big eyes or something. What I want to say is that the looks is not important in terms of talking about girls. I think it's YOU who like kinda ugly girls...

taki: You may be right (laugh). Saying 'ugly' is just a joke but I don't think there are many girls who are confident in their looks. But girls get beautiful all of a sudden when they are in love with someone.

tsubasa: You like watching girls' peculiar faces, don't you? You shouldn't do that!

taki: Why not!? I think it must be natural for us that we want to take a look at various types of facial expressions of girls whom we're interested in!

tsubasa: If so, then you should show your ugly parts as well as your cool parts on TV, especially in front of your fans.

taki: I think I'm doing so all the time. See? Having a hot pot like this doesn't look that cool, right?

tsubasa: Right. Anyway, the best thing for us to enjoy our own love in a slow pace...
