[Translation] Stage Actor with Nissy, Shohei, Aiba
No copy&paste please =) translation by me
The original scans were posted last week for members only >> here << Thank you for posting again =)
Nishijima
Practice has begun at last.
Miura
The first day was very stressful. Everyone around me is a veteran of the stage. Despite it being the first day, there was so much we needed to do that I was about to interrupt mid-day to say "Wait a minute. Please let me adjust myself." The movie is completely different. Even one liners like "Eh?", turning around, looking at my partner... they were no good if I didn't emphasize those actions.
Aiba
I really understand those feelings. Although Nissy and I practiced our sword battle several times, it's fairly difficult! There are really a ton of sword battles in this work.
Nishijima
Every character has their own signature move; Kyuzo, the role I'm acting, is a double-wielding swordsman. It's difficult not having rules on where to step with my feet for battles. Bacchi (Aiba's nickname) is playing Shichiroji, the spear guy.
Aiba
I've shuffled around with a sword before, but this is the first time with a spear. It's difficult to handle and I don't know when to switch hands. This is only for the battle scene with Katsushiro too.
Miura
I have plenty of muscle aches today thanks to yesterdays practice (laughs). Parts of my thigh muscles hurts. And my arms and hands.
Nishijima
It's almost a contest with the body. You have many tough battles because Katsushiro has a lot of appearances.
Miura
I'm starting to get in the flow of going from drama to sword fight. I shuffle, then stop and say a few words, then shuffle again, then act... So many routines to get into
Nishijima
Music is the same. Rhythm, rhythm!
Miura
Ta ta ta ta, a few words here 'n there, ta ta ta ta, "insert words here"...
Nishijima
We're getting closer to makin a show!
Miura
Even if I tell you Katsushiro is a samurai, he's never killed anyone before. He's incredibly nervous. He has no confidence in himself. However he will grow as a person by meeting Kambei and the others. He resembles me in that respect...Right at that scene. When I think about it, he's the type to push forward. Kyuzo, Kyuzo is taciturn.
Nishijima
My lines are few and far between (laughs). All of them could fit on about one A4-sized page
Aiba
Perhaps up until now, maybe fewer is better, you know?
Miura
So jealous. Nissy, are there any scenes where Kyuzo resembles you?
Nishijima
Kyuzo is a very lonely guy who wonders if he'll ever not be lonely. At the heart, I'm someone who easily succumbs to loneliness so I work in a group and I love the environment that swells from that feeling of fellowship. So I guess I resemble him in that way. Do you resemble Shichiroji at all, Bacchi?
Aiba
Shichiroji formerly shared joy and pain on the battlefield with Kambei. Even though he throws away his samurai status shortly after, he finally becomes a samurai once again and goes out to battle. The point is, I think he's a man who can't live if he's not fighting. He has things he can't throw away, meaning he's a man who has obsessions, and that's how I resemble him.
Miura
This time, this is the first time Aiba and I are costarring together
Aiba
Yeah. I wanna have a lot of fun! With Nissy, Miura, and me, we're all friends with each other
Nishijima
Sho-chan and I were in the drama Tumbling together, and I co-starred with Bacchi in Linda Linda Lover Soul
Miura
The three of us are an extremely young team. Which reminds me, I wonder if we should be reporting to our boss?
Nishijima
You are the star, Sho-chan, don't you think you should partially be everyone's voice? The lead star is the so-called 'chairman', so you know, if you aren't watching over everything...
Miura
It seems hard to watch over everything while doing my own thing
Aiba
Since Nissy inside knowledge of being a 'chairman', it's okay to rely on him.
Nishijima
I think about those things no matter what, because much of the work I do, I do in a group (laughs)
Aiba
I've played the lead before, but, hmm, it seems like I had a good time as 'the chaiman'
Nishijima
That's you going at your own pace again
Miura
So I must be confident that I stand above the rest, if you say I'm suitable for the job (laughs). It's fine then if I do things my way. Well, you think we should bump our rings together before our performances?
Aiba
Okamura has a unique thing he does. He counts people off, and then one by one, they each yell "TOIYA!"
Nishijima
Hmmm. That's a new one for me
Aiba
What kind of person do you see Miura-kun as, Nissy?
Nishijima
Sho-chan's a pampered guy. Now and then, there are times when he continues to depend on me, even when he's being responsible and level-headed. He often calls me, and even during our drama he'd ask "how do I do this?" When I was hurt, he always left me messages on my voice mail.
Miura
Hey, it's 'cuz your mentoring was really effective. So, what kind of person is Aiba-kun?
Nishijima
Bacchi is the ultimate at doing things his own pace. Even when I lure him out to dinner, he immediately goes back home afterward (smiles)
Aiba
That's not true! (laughs)
Nishijima
He often doesn't even come
Aiba
My house was still really far away back then
Miura
If it were me, I absolutely wouldn't return till morning!
Aiba
I'll do my best (laughs)
Miura
Well then, Aiba-kun, what about Nissy?
Aiba
From what I've seen being around him, he is an honest person
Miura
Yeah, that's him in a nutshell
Aiba
He's really respectful. There aren't a lot of people at this age who are like that
Nishijima
I still try to stir up trouble (laughs)
Miura
The kind of life he's walked at this age, it's amazing. He's funny when we go out to drink although his nature is to be responsible.
Aiba
His balance is perfect, isn't it? Nissy's playfulness is proportional to that golden balance of his, meanwhile I joke around about 80% of the time!
Nishijima
Wha? your words, you guys! I feel awkward that these will be written in the article
Miura
I know singing and dancing haven't been decided yet, but I wonder if they'll make it in?
Aiba
It would be funny if Kyuzo sang
Nishijima
Maybe he will sing
Miura
Seriously?
Aiba
And yet the character is a tacitern guy who doesn't talk
Nishijima
But I still don't understand. I have hardly any lines, you know? (laughs) There must be a mix-up, Sho-chan's seem to be never-ending
Miura
I'm absolutely preparing to put the script up my sleeve when the performances begin. If I forget, I'll just draw back off-stage, saying "ugh, my stomach!" then remember my lines, and then re-enter saying "I've kept you waiting!" (laughs)
Nishijima
Do you really intend to do that? (laughs)
Aiba
You know, there's 23 performances
Miura
But if it seems my lines suddenly escape me? Then absolutely
Nishijima
It's happened to me before. They've escaped me, but the moment the others on stage sense that feeling from me, how I followed their cues was my key. You'll be fine as long as there is a character on stage that can guide you like that.
Miura
I guess I'll see what happens since Katsushiro is always confronting someone
Nishijima
But if a quiet character like me is before you when your lines escape you, you won't be able to get that guidance.
Miura
I'll say "TALK!" at that time. "I wonder if you can really talk!!!" (laughs)
Nishijima
I understand. I'll give you a follow if that's the case (smiles)
Miura
That kind of stage is pure and still interesting.
Nishijima
No way, it's super scary
Aiba
Frightening!
Nishijima
When we are playing out the story on stage, just the two of us, and one of us completely forgets our lines, the play still has to flow smoothly during our conversation. I'm worried what will happen in that situation because the story may not connect and my character shouldn't be talking, and when I think about someone calling our names and us responding back, the stage may have a 'theatrical blackout' to help us.
Aiba
I would seriously wanna die in that situation.
Nishijima
Honestly, I would too
Miura
Well then, could I be frank and tell the audience? "I forgot my lines" (laughs) "Please, consider stopping the show and let me do it one more time"
Nishijima
That's grounds for a theatrical blackout (laughs)
Nishijima
What was 2010 like?
Miura
The year is already gone, just like that. Photoshoots and training for Tumbling, and then eventually promotion for The Last Message began on the coast. And now time has flown by practicing for this play without realizing it. What about you Aiba-kun?
Nishijima
I met the Tumbling team this year, had many celebrations for AAA's 5 year anniversary, and did the longest tour AAA's had. Even if I'm at an unlucky age, I'd like to perfect this stage play and more from here on.
Miura
At any rate, from here out I'll give SAMURAI 7 everything I've got! Let's work together and do our best
Nishijima & Aiba
Of course!
Note about the images: This is where I got lazy (at least I'm honest?). Esp. with Nissy's, but he's saying he wants to be able to balance that kind of private life and work in the future. (as I said, was too lazy to go back and re-edit the image)

Such sweet words they had for Nissy too! They make him seem so perfect *_*
Maybe on the last day, Kyuzo will break into song weilding those 3 swords
ok that was cheesy but I love that song~
random side note, literally they said 'what if the lyrics jump/leap out of me?' but that sounds so weird
no subject
And then, I thought their treasures were interesting, but I thought the sweetest answers given were from Nissy. He had some really intellectual things to say, huh? Especially about being a father. I can definitely see him being a father, and a GOOD one too! &hearts He really has this kind of natural gentleness, wisdom, and good-heartedness, doesn't he? Even though he might goof off at times, I really think he has a good heart! ^^;; (I was really hoping Shohei would come up with something ingenius about the "answers" thing, and yet.......XDDDD His was just cute, I think~)
Aiba also strikes me as someone who is quite serious, reading this. I'm so glad to hear that the three of them have become so close though......WARGH! That makes me so happy!!! &hearts
And I think you'll be happy to know that Kyuzo does, in fact, break into song. With Aiba. XDDD Not as "funny" a song, I suppose, but a song nonetheless. XDDDD
Ahhhh, I have so much more I wanna say, but I have to get to work on homework!!! I can't thank you enough for translating this! This seriously made my night!! ^0^
no subject
The thing about Aiba is that he said he jokes around 80% of the time but he does seem serious about his work! Shohei on the other hand... he seems pretty laid back about it, judging from this article and the last one. I wonder now what he's really going to do if he forgets his lines. i hope he doesnt have any bad experiences during his first stageplay!
I'm glad you had so much fun! i can't wait to see it on DVD but i'm looking forward to any other info you'll be sharing with us ^^
no subject
Yeah, I'm so surprised to hear that about Aiba...even in the show he looked SO serious, and even at the end when Nissy was joking around!! Maybe it's that he's SO laid back that he seems serious, but actually, he's about to crack a joke at ANY time. XDDDD But I do hope they all have a good experience with the play nonetheless!!! Shohei seemed a little nervous, but not blaringly so and it was good for his character! Everyone else was just fine, didn't seem nervous at all!!
I do wonder what is sooooo intriguing about One Piece, though! Both he and Shohei like it so much!!! I've tried reading it, but even though I enjoy it, I could never become obsessive! Are you a big fan??
no subject
...i may even try reading One Piece cuz of them! For the first interview, i had to look up what Zoro was referring because i'm so unfamiliar with it! i only saw the first English dub and immediately turned it off after a few minutes, but i think its fair to give it another try.
no subject
AND YAAAAAAYYY! One Piece! Do you want to read the manga also??? If so, here's a good place to do that, I've been reading it from there and the translation isn't too bad, it seems!
