TV Guide dan vol.41: Wataru Hyuga x Junya Komatsu interview

Rough translation. I didn’t reread anything and I am no expert so any mistakes are mine. This one is super cute so I’d love to share.

=================================

Q: First of all, please introduce the roles the two of you are playing in “Revice”.

Hyuga: The character I play, Igarashi Daiji, is calm, but just and passionate. He is a very straightforward boy who seems to have been born to protect others. The devil ‘Kagerou’ that lives in Daiji's body is a character that I consciously try to play in a way that makes him look like the opposite of Daiji. He's just a bad guy!

Junya: Indeed, Kagerou is the sum of all the bad parts of the human mind. If I were to describe the Hiromi I've been playing in one word....

Hyuga: The life-sized Junya Komatsu!

Junya: Really!? But after you said that, it's hard for me to say the charm of Hiromi…

Hyuga: Haha! Sorry, Sorry(laughs)

Junya: (laughs). Hiromi is sincere and serious, and I think the word "hot-blooded" fits him well. He is a man of hard work who aspired to help the weak and became a hero because no hero appeared before him, who was bullied as a child.

Q: In episode 21, there was a shocking turn of events when Hiromi fell off a cliff.

Hyuga: When I read the script for episode 21, I was really sad thinking, “Jun-san’s going to finish shooting here…” but it was a good scene and I wanted to give a good performance to send him off.

Junya: Me too. Actually, on the last day of shooting, Hyuga wrote me a letter!

Hyuga: Ah… (Covers his bright red face with his hands).

Junya: Moreover, Daiji, Kagerou, and Hyuga each wrote a letter to me! And the words are so warm. I was happy that he expressed his feelings of “loneliness” in different expressions and handwriting for each character. I really thought Wataru Hyuga must have a great love for his co-stars and staff, as well as for his fans.

Hyuga: It was because I was frustrated that I wouldn't be able to see him anymore at the shooting, and I didn't want my impression to just be “a junior who’s always fooling around”. So I thought I'd write a letter to show him that I'm a good guy...

Junya: Tsundere as ever(laughs)! You were really lonely, weren't you~?

Hyuga: I just wanted to make sure you didn't forget us (laughs)!

Junya: Haha. Don’t worry, Hyuga’s feelings are properly conveyed.

Hyuga: What’s it all about~?

Junya: After all, I felt the love during the recording of episode 21. I was the only one who had other work to do, so I recorded separately. When I finished recording and was about to leave, Imocchan(Ayaka Imoto), who plays Sakura, and Hayata (Seki), who plays Olteca, came in and said, "Good work, Jun-san!”! Hyuga was at the front of the group. I was so happy that I almost cried.

Q: As actors in “Revice”, Komatsu-san is the senior, and Hyuga-san is the junior. If you were to give each other a catchphrase, "○○ senpai, ○○ kouhai," what would it be?

Hyuga: Jun-san is a "senior with a big back”. When he was wearing the FENIX commander outfit in "Revice", I noticed that he had broad shoulders.

Junya: Eh, what do you mean(laughs)!?

Hyuga: Joking aside(laughs). Jun-san is the kind of person that everyone wants to follow. You don't just say things, you show them with your actions. Besides, seeing Jun-san's ability to switch between on and off makes me feel relaxed.

Junya: I see. Hyuga is…

Hyuga: Please!

Junya: I think he’s “a national junior’(laughs). He feels more like a younger brother than a junior. Something like, everyone's junior and younger brother.

Hyuga: Ahaha!

Junya: In every situation, he gives off the feeling of a younger brother. That's why everyone loves and forgives him for anything. I think that is one of Hyuga’s charms. I also really like that about Hyuga.

Hyuga: (holds his head in embarrassment) T..Thank you..

Q: The theme of this shooting was "senior and junior’s sharehouse". What would life be like if you lived together?

Hyuga: The layout is a one-bedroom apartment, and Jun-san sleeps in the living room.

Junya: Why!(laughs) Let's make it two bedrooms.

Hyuga: Because it’s expensive in Tokyo.

Junya: This is just a what if (laughs)

Hyuga: Is that so? I really gave it a thought (laughs).

Junya: As for the housework... I'm not sure we can share it well. Hyuga’s probably gonna say "Jun-san, you do everything! I'm going to play the game for you”

Hyuga: You know me(laughs). But I like shopping, so I'll do it. You take care of the rest!

Junya: (laughs) You're not interested in cooking at all?

Hyuga: I love cooking, but I'm not very good at washing dishes…

Junya: Then leave it to me.

Hyuga: OK! Also, I'll run the washing machine, so you hang the laundry.

Junya: I don't like to hang laundry either... How about folding clothes?

Hyuga: I’m not good at it~

Junya: I’ll do it. What else are you good at?

Hyuga: I like to clean! So cleaning, shopping, and running the washing machine are my duties.

Junya: I guess we can live with that..somehow? (laughs)

Q: This issue goes on sale on Valentine's Day. Since White Day is coming up soon, what’s your ideal date plan?

Junya: I like to drive, so I would like to go see the Christmas lights with my lover in the passenger seat. We can listen to Christmas songs and watch the scenery of children walking around with presents. That alone makes me feel happy.

Hyuga: That’s nice! I’d like to be alone with the one I love, so I prefer to stay at home. But still, I want to go out for Christmas and other special occasions. Drive to the beach or mountains a little far away, and spend some time relaxing. Well, I'm only 17, and I don't have a car license yet. But I'm free to talk about my ideals!

Q: By the way, what’s your type?

Junya: Well, I’d love someone who is charming to everyone. So….(holds out his hand toward Hyuga) I like you! Please go out with me!

Hyuga: (Slaps Komatsu's hand lightly)

Junya: Oh no, I've been rejected~!

Hyuga: But, I also like someone who has a big back and can take the lead, so I like you! (holds out his hand to Komatsu)

Junya: (Holds his hand tightly with both hands)

Junya & Hyuga: Hahaha!

Hyuga: Is it true that you like someone who’s charming?

Junya: Yeah. I think it’s wonderful when they don’t change their attitude depending on who they’re with and can be cheerful with everyone.

Hyuga: What should I do? I was gonna say “I like someone who looks good in glasses”, but Jun-san was serious…

Junya: Ahaha, isn’t it interesting to view things differently?

Hyuga: All right then! I also like someone with beautiful handwriting! I believe such people have beautiful minds. Even if it's messy, I’d be impressed when I can tell that it was written with care.

Junya: Certainly, I could tell from the letters I received from Hyuga.

Hyuga: By the way, the letter from Daiji was written very neatly, while the one from Kagerou was very messy.

Junya: And the one from Hyuga was beautifully written.

Hyuga: Hmmm, I wrote that letter in a hurry, so it must have been messy.

Junya: Don't say that! I was really impressed…

Hyuga: No, no! I had so many things I wanted to write that I thought, "If I don't write soon, I'll forget!” so I hurriedly wrote it down.

Junya: I see. Good to know then♪
