What his members have to say bout him.. ^^

my fav. answers from an old magazine interview [2004]

Imagine he’s an animal…

●　A miniature dachshund. The fact that he’s cute but surprisingly troublemaking fits them perfectly (Kato)
●　A dog. Because he has both a cute and a cool side to him. [Tegoshi]

I’d get Yamapi’s heart like this! if I was a girl
●　I’d be cliche, a girl who acts cute and weak. I’d talk with him using a really excited speaking style (Kato)
●　I’d show him the world of adults (Tegoshi) [LOL of course.. ~~]

Habit or common said line?
●　Apparently he’s been into English lately, and when we’re going home he says “See you”. I just respond normally with “Good work today!” though (lol) (Kato)
●　Nothing. He’s mysterious (Kusano)
●　If you think of something he’ll quickly responds “That’s good, that’s good” (Tegoshi)

The moment I saw Yamapi when he was really off
●　When he messes up doing a gag. He’ll be saying “Aiueore ni…” or “Kakikukekono XX ga sa…” but everyone just responds “I have nooo idea what you’re saying” (lol) (Koyama)
●　None. Because he’s perfect (Nishikido)
●　When he fell down the stairs in the studio making a huge do-do-do-don noise. I laughed a bit when I saw him after that, walking on like nothing had happened. (Kato)
●　If he hasn’t thought about something in a week or so he can’t remember it~ (Masuda)
●　When he was sleeping with his mouth wide open. Well, he was still cool though (Tegoshi)[LOL...]

Yamapi is different than he was a long time ago because…

●　He’s come to be able to talk to me a lot. On the way home from uni he’ll invite me somewhere like, “Let’s go to the movies!” and I feel like “Yamapi, that makes me so happy ♥” (Koyama)
●　He’s become like a leader, and reliable (Uchi)
●　His face. In the past it was childlike but it’s become adult-like. His personality has become more mature also, but he’s more friendly (Nishikido) [more friendly? Oo sounds like he's an animal waiting to be tamed ~~ oh Ryo-chan...]
●　In the past I had a cool impression of him but now I don’t have that impression at all. When he gets hyper he starts saying gags I can’t understand at all (Kato).
●　I’ve noticed he’ll say puns without any warning (Tegoshi)

His weak point

●　90 minute classes at college. Those classes are long to him because he’s used to high school classes, and he has to fight with sleepiness (Koyama) [haha..*imagining Pi sleeping in class XD~ priceless...]
●　The cold. When he gets cold he immediately has goosebumps (Uchi)
●　Ghosts. In the past we were telling ghost stories late at night and he said to me “I have to go to the bathroom. Come with me” (Nishikido)
●　Kanji. I feel like I’ve seen him write the kanji for “難” with one extra line (Kato) [lol, thanks sensei shige :p]
●　His cellphone. I think if he lost it there would be a rainstorm of tears.
●　The cold. Because he has no fat (Masuda)
●　None. He’s Mr. Perfect (Tegoshi) [we know ^__~ ne..]

♣ “Aiueore ni…” or “Kakikukekono XX ga sa…”…. both these gags are starting with a line of the Japanese hiragana alphabet and then creating sentences from that. Imagine something like “ABCDEFG I want a snack…” or something like that.
♣ The “難” kanji is the kanji for “difficult”/”hard”
♣ Ryo concludes Yamapi’s scared of ghosts because after telling ghost stories Yamapi didn’t want to go to the bathroom alone.
♣ Tegoshi says Mr Perfect in “English” (katakana)
♣ Yamapi says good bye in English slang, while Shige gives your traditional goodbye greeting for workmates (otsukaresama deshita).
