Miura Hiroki & Yata Yusuke JPrime 2/20 Interview

link: http://www.jprime.jp/articles/-/11658

(T/N: I'm skipping the blurbs because they're kinda irrelevant)

JP: Can you share something memorable from your first performance together, Koisuru Broadway?

(Y)ata: Something interesting? (laughs) He (Miura) was just 16 in 2015. He still hasn't done TeniMyu he's kinda...

(M)iura: wet behind the ears?

Y: Yes, an inexperienced boy. Then after doing Tenimyu, he came back in KoiBro in 2016 and he really became like a young actor (laughs)

M: Ahahaha!

Y: It's not like I think he's cheeky but I have gotten used to a lot of things (laughs)

M: I didn't think you thought of me like that before I'm kinda shocked (laughs)

Y: I don't mean anything bad but I just really thought it was interesting (laughs)

M: Hahaha!

Y: It was much more comfortable working with him during our 2nd KoiBro together. We often talked about TeniMyu and it made me feel like I was back at home. (laughs)

M: Please stop! (laughs)

Y: (laughs) I think he also noticed his own charms.

M: Uwa, your gaze is scary (laughs)

JP: Miura-san, how about you?

M: During the 2nd KoiBro we always went out to eat gyoza.

Y: We ate at a store near our rehearsal area. We were there almost everyday after the rehearsals (laughs)

M: No matter what time the the rehearsals ended we always went out to eat gyoza.

Y: We always went together.

M: Even if we ate gyoza late at night he'd easily sing well the next day.

Y: That has nothing to do with the gyoza (laugh). It was also hard for me. There were nights I'd stay up late (laugh)

M: (laugh) But I really felt like this show will be the end of me. I felt like I was the worse one in the whole cast.

JP: [literally: If you were to define your relationship what would it be? Is it a Senpai-Kouhai relationship?

M: Yes, that's right.

Y: We were both on Tenimyu

M: Yeah

Y: There's really something about being in Tenimyu. It's like the distance between us is smaller; it feels like we grew up in the same place.

M: It's like we're bound together. It's really interesting how I knew him before I got out. (T/N: 'got out and get more acting jobs')

Y: Yes, that's really a TeniMyu thing.

M: It's like someone is watching over me.

JP: Are you looking forward to also working together in Musical Onmyouji?

Y: Do you think we have a scene together?

M: There's a human side and a demon/spirit side right? I'm Hiromasa so I'm on the human side.

Y: I'm going to be Ootengu who's on the demon/spirit side. I heard he was super powerful in-game.

JP: There's also going to be a 1 month long show in China for Onmyouji right?

Y: There's really nothing interesting to do in China so I hope I can do something fun with everyone.

M: That's why we'll get along well!

Y: Either that or I'll hate you (laugh)

M: Which will it be (laugh)

Y: I heard that Hiroki is really putting effort into singing lately. I'm not looking at this as if I'm your parent but, I'm really looking forward to the result. I wanna see how will you perform different songs.

M: Now that you think of me that way I think I'm more nervous than happy. Also, this will be our first time acting together! And when it comes to singing I'll really do my best but I'm still kinda embarrassed (laughs)

Y: It's been also been a while since we performed together so I'm also a bit embarrassed (laughs)

JP: I want to ask about your love preferences. If you were to fall in love would you rather be leading or be led?

M: I'm kind of a moody person so either would be fine. How about you Yata-san?

Y: I don't want to lead that much if it's possible (laughs)

M: Ahahaha! He doesn't want to lead (laughs)

Y: I think a bit of both would be good (laughs)

M: Oh, we're the same (laughs)

JP: Miura-san what kind of girl do you like?

M: Hm....I like them all!

Y: No, you're not supposed to answer like that (laughs)

M: Ahahaha! I don't really have a type. If she's older or younger, have short or long hair it doesn't really matter. As long as we get along I'd like her. Although I used to like girls with long black hair.

Y: That's right, getting along well is important.

M: Yeah. Also, I'd like a person who'd be happy with everything.

JP: Do you also have no preference for appearances, Yata-san?

Y: Before I liked fair skinned people but when I turned 27ish I don't really mind anymore. But if you really have to ask me, I'll say I like someone with a flat face. Because I'm the exact opposite (laughs) I don't really know but it'll be good for our genes since it'll balance out (laughs)

M: Hahaha! That's funny (laughs)

JP: Lastly, what do you think of each other?

Y: This year, I'm appearing as a guest in Hiroki's show and we're going to be together for Musical Onmyoji after that. We're going to be together until the end of April so we should really focus first on getting along 100%. Although we're also together on this interview.

M: Thank you!

Y: I think he's someone who I'll better get along with.

M: So, that means we don't get along well?! (laughs)

Y: Ahaha. Stop pointing out everything!

M: (laughs) For me, he's the happy elder brother I admire but somehow got really close to.

Y: What are you saying? I'm someone you admire? (laughs) I don't like the word "admire"

M: Even though I'm the one who said it it's kinda weird* (laughs) I can't take it back later so please let me say it (laughs)

Y: Ahahaha!

M: It's something like "An elder brother I respect and admire so thank you for getting along with me" (laughs)

Y: What are you saying (laughs)

M: Let's get along well forever!! **

Y: Okay (laughs). Let's enjoy our work together this year!
