From this month's Issue of Potato (lol everyone's probably already seen these by now, but whatever
) :
In this issue, the boys discussed their "Ideal Types" and various things about the group dramas that they're filming. So I'll post the translations just about their ideal types (unless you guys want to see the stuff about the drama's too xD).
Provided by the lovely Paaaaan @ LJ (& Maru's from Jun @ LJ)Maru's: (Sorry, dunno what his opening paragraph tag-line thing was)Love is Passion! No passion, no true love. I want my girlfriend to stay with me all the time and basically I devote myself to love. Then, I'll devote too much and ruin myself haha. So the ideal relationship with my girlfriend is to meet once a week. During working or concerning on my personal things, I want to keep other things away from me and after finishing my work, I will say “I’m done! Let’s have a dinner together!” to her. That’s my dream. My dream date would be a trip to hot spring. Getting on local trains, we will have train lunch and beer, watching scenery together. And I want to see her in a Japanese bathrobe. And Stay a night, not more than one, otherwise I won’t come back to my normal life. The girl of dreams is the one with eyes of power. I have a really long list for how she should look, like with long hair, a pure and innocent and full bust... I mean not too skinny. This could go on forever haha. Inside, she must take care of herself, otherwise I would feel obligated to take care of her more and pay less attention to myself. So the ideal relationship would be that each takes care of oneself and encourage the other.
Hina, "I want to do something for the girl, coming from me"So the theme is love, eh… I don’t know if I have anything to talk about, haha. First of all, my ideal type. I’ve come to not care about appearance at all. I find people’s inner side very attractive. Also, instead of thinking whether that girl has a good personality or bad, I’ve started to think that whether she gets along with me well or not is the most important thing. The other day, I was having a deep conversation with Maru. You know how there is friendship (友情) and love (愛情)? But there is no 恋情. We were wondering why that was. Eventually, we came to the conclusion that there is no 恋情 because “You don’t need emotion (情) in 恋 (like one rank below “love (愛)”… so hard to explain, lol),” haha. The “情” in 友情 or 愛情is a pure feeling that you want to do something for the other, whereas in the case of 恋愛, it’s not really 情 but more like なさけ(sympathy). For example, I sometimes hear stories like, “I can’t break up with my girlfriend because we’ve been going out for eight years already,” and that’s なさけ (sympathy) rather than 情 (emotion), don’t you think? It’s kind of like you are obligated to stay with her because you have to give back whatever you were given. In that sense, I don’t need 情. I want to do something for her, coming from me. Even if I do get a girlfriend now, my life is basically going back and forth between Tokyo and Osaka so I can’t really see her… (Potato asks: Why don’t you look for a girl who understands that, then?) I don’t think there is such a girl, though, haha! She might forgive me at first, but she probably will get lonelier and lonelier and it’ll turn into a fight… is it because I think like this that I don’t have a girlfriend?? Haha…
Subaru, "I don’t think I have an ideal, but I probably do and it’s high."Whoever I fall in love with is my type! People tell me that “my type” is all sorts of things and my strike zone is really big. I don’t want to limit my options by listing a lot of conditions. However, people I can’t stand I can never stand. I’ll honestly say that I don’t like that person. This is regardless of gender; I get pissed at people who have no common sense. I’d scold until that person reconsiders! Haha. I’d make that person feel so depressed that they won’t make the same mistake ever again, haha. Hmm, if I were to choose a type, I like girls that are natural. It’s because that’s how I am. I don’t need her to do anything special for me. I like a little distance, too. It’s important for me to “see each other when we can,” rather than “see each other when we want to.” If the latter was the case, unreasonable things would occur more or less and if that piles up, it’s not good. I think whenever we have enough time and feel comfortable, when the timing is right, we should see each other. Basically, a lot of things are troublesome to me, so I don’t send text messages or call that often. I believe that those things should be done whenever there is a need for it. I don’t want to change myself even when I get older, so whoever can understand that, I would like to stay together with. However, I am me and people are people, so you never know. I can’t stand those with low-level thoughts like, “you’re cold (as in mean),” or “do you really love me?” …I guess this is probably why I don’t have a girlfriend, haha. My ideals are probably really high.
Ryo, "My ideal girl: In public, a 'lady,' but at home, a 'mom'. "Appearance-wise, I like girls that look foreign (like half Japanese, half American etc.). My recent favorite is
Leah Dizon, who’s actually 100% foreign, haha. Personality-wise, I like girls that are domestic. I like girls that would go grocery shopping and then cook for me or someone who can broil fish for me for breakfast. I don’t really like fish though, haha. I like girls with gaps, you know, like when she’s in public, she’s a “lady,” but at home, she’s like a “mom” or she doesn’t look like she can cook but actually could really well, and so on. I might be the most selfish type of guy because I expect both stimulation and comfort from girls. In regards to cooking, I like girls who can cook rice well. Basically, I always want to be with the girl I like. When I come home, she would have finished preparing to cook dinner, so we would add the finishing touches, eat and clean up together. I want to continue that every day. And, on occasion, I’d like to go to Fuji Safari Park together, haha. I don’t want to look for definitions or reasons for being together. I can basically do anything by myself, so I want a girl who can continue spending the precious days together with me for a long time. My ideal couple is my parents. They would argue sometimes, but they get along so well. I forgot when it was, but there was this time when my parents were seriously fighting over the difference between boxing’s “Tentative Champion” and “Champion,” haha. Usually, my dad ends up apologizing to stop fighting, haha.
Tacchon, "My ideal is whoever respects my relationships with friends"My ideal girl… (hmm…) …I don’t know. If I were to choose “my type,” it would be a girl who is smart. That doesn’t mean that she gets good grades in school, but whoever thinks in a respectable way. On the other hand, I hate girls who are selfish! Appearance-wise, I tend to like girls who are cute rather than beautiful. I don’t have preferences for fashion or hairstyles. Whether it be a street-style or a calmer one, if it looks good on her, it’s good. I’m not embarrassed to walk with a girl I like because it is her, and I don’t mind what she wears. I want to be with her as much as possible, but I value my relationships with my friends, so I want a girl who understands that. There are often people who hang out less with friends because they have a significant other, but I don’t like that. So, whoever restrains me can be annoying. I won’t restrain her either. What I want from a girl is calmness, not stimulation. Whenever you like someone, you’re always excited and happy every day. That could be considered a stimulus, but that doesn’t really motivate me to work at all. Work and love are totally different things in my opinion. Basically, I think that a guy and a girl can never understand everything about each other. I guess you want to be together because you want to know and learn more about the other. It’s probably boring if you totally knew about each other. I think that’s what love is all about.
Yoko, "I want the girl I like to support my work!"My ideal girl is someone who is nice, can adjust to the atmosphere and is considerate. These conditions are very vague, aren’t they, haha. It’s especially important to be considerate and that is definitely necessary. I tend to forget and lose things often, so it’ll be really helpful if the girl can be considerate. I don’t restrain the girl or get jealous, so I don’t mind if she was considerate to other guys as well. I would like her to be more caring to others. It’s kind of embarrassing if she was only caring to me, anyway. Appearance-wise… honestly, I do have a preference! But, even if I say that this celebrity is cute or that one, it happens that I end up liking someone that doesn’t look like her at all. I do have a tendency to like someone who is slender and sexy, though. Once we start going out, I think I would keep in touch with her often. I don’t mind living with her, either. Actually, I want to live with her. Well, no, I take that back, I don’t have to live with her, haha. I will kinda move in together. The reason? It’s easier if two people did the housework. Other than that, I don’t ask for anything too difficult. She can do whatever the heck she wants, haha. If she could not restrain me and be supportive of my work, that’s all I ask for. I live for work! I want her to accept all the adult relationships, too (not sexual, but like business relationships). I don’t care if she works or not. Well, I might want her to work. She can do whatever she wants with the money she makes. I, of course, will pay for the living! Haha.
Yassu, "I want to fly balloons in the air with my daughter and my wife!"My ideal person is whoever has a dream and is working so hard toward it. An example would be a girl who is working hard to become a hairdresser. For me, whether you put effort into it or not is the most important criterion. I also like people who are curious and try new things while trying to figure out what she really wants to do, even though she doesn’t know what exactly her dream or goal is. It’ll be great if she was cute, but I don’t really know what “my taste” is. I would like it if she has the consciousness to look nice. I want to be able to talk about fashion with my girlfriend. I want to go shopping together, too. I sometimes buy female clothing, actually I recently purchased a skirt, so I would love to go around shops together. Also, I want to go to places I love, like zoos and aquariums. I would probably text her and call her every day, but when I’m busy and I couldn’t, I hope she understands that. While I’m at work, I take my mind off of relationships, but during times outside of work, I think I always have her somewhere in my mind, wondering if she was doing well. So, when I see something pretty, I want to take a picture of that on my phone and send it to her. Also, if I suddenly thought to myself, “I really like her,” I would text her and say “I love you.” And, the most ideal thing to do is to hold hands! I want to walk around parks holding hands. When I get married, my dream is to hold hands with our daughter in the middle and walk together. Then, we let go of the balloon we had in our hands and send it off to the sky. “Fly away!” Oh that’s going to be so cute! I’m definitely going to give kisses to my daughter!!!!

Ryo- You picky bastard!
And Yassu, why are you so adorable? I find Subaru's to be the most relatable though, and I'd so marry Yoko.
