iside89Hello everyone! It has been a long time xD
I am going to repost here my Kame Camera translations that I made for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
kamesanctuary's Kame's 30th birthday.
Many of you have already read them, many probably haven't. I hope both categories will enjoy them anyway :)
Translator's message:
I didn't think this T/N was needed, but after the recent events, I guess it's necessary.
These Maquia are all 2015 interviews. I wrote all numbers and release date on top of all issues.
**please keep in mind that each Maquia's interview was probably made 1 to 2 months before its release date**
This means that an issue released on June 2015 was probably done in May or even April. Some words might have deeper meanings, but some others maybe don't.
Please keep in mind release/interview month when reading.
Please read Kame's words, thoughts, and feelings.
Thanks!!

KAME CAMERA
What's the scenery of the bottom of the heart that Kamenashi Kazuya's lens reflects?
Vol.47 道 Path
「I want to open up my own path, so I'm not neglecting any preparations for my 30-year-old self.」
This is a scenery I often saw when I started filming the drama. Every new environment has a big impact and I could experience it at its fullest. I think that the encounter with this difficult character, Taira Kei, will become one of my assets from now on. “Second Love”... Thank you. I'm looking forward to the new path from now on!
When I think of the destination of this path, I don't think about details, but I always have a very clear desire of “I want to be like this”; “I want to see this scenery”. One of my present desires is “before turning 35 years, I want to become an actor who can receive an offer made specifically for me for a movie or director I admire”. I plan to dedicate the next year, which marks my 30th birthday, to KAT-TUN's 10th anniversary, so I'm postponing my big dreams as a person a bit.
Being it as a person or for the group, I plan to not neglect any preparation I can do now for my thirty year old self self. I'm said that I'm a hard worker, but I don't do it with such intent. I'm the type who doesn't think “If I make this effort, it'll turn out like that”, but instead thinks “I do it like this because I want to do it”, and I enjoy it. For example, severely building up my body and taking lessons in order to play a dancer is also because I want to do it. I depict an ideal silhouette and jump, and being unable to accomplish that becomes a stress for me instead, so I make all the preparations. Doing it like this, I slowly turn my thoughts turn into reality, and I open up my path.
For everything, what's important is not the result but the process. For me, a good process is accompanied by the heart. When you do this job, there are many things that, despite you filming them, won't be shared to the public. In case of KAT-TUN's “Tame Tabi”, for one hour broadcast we filmed 2 full days, more than 48 hours. But there's the journey we did together, and exactly because our feelings increased one step after the other like a ladder we could film good scenes. Those 47 hours that weren't broadcasted weren't useless by any means. I believe that it's because of those 47 hours that that one hour could come to life.
I want to choose my own path, and the desire of wanting to open it up myself is strong, I guess. Even regarding work. Of course the agency controls and chooses for me, but at the least, it's my personal decision and my personal responsibility. Thinking like that, I'm prepared for anything and ready to get involved in the project deeply. Acting in “Second Love” has a lot to do with my own will. It's my first drama with TV Asahi, but I heard the passion in the staff saying “We want to create a new show together”, and I thought I wanted to try it. A new heartfelt challenge isn't just a real time result, I think it leaves something irreplaceable in the future too.
Even if we break up, being “a man with a value” is the best way to repay me
Work, lover, friends... etc. Between people and things there is a relationship and a journey. What I always think about is that, “an encounter is a farewell”. To be a big farewell, it means that there was an even bigger encounter or it wouldn’t have happened, would it? Be it work or people, even what you don't want to end, once you die it'll end in any case. That's not something to be sad about. I think that in order to start something new, there's a farewell, so I want to experience many farewells. The process is important for those farewells too. For example, I think that if you break up with your lover in a very bad way, for sure it won't be followed by a beautiful encounter (laughs) I want to properly take responsibility for the farewell too. I want to be a man who, even after everything, can be considered a man who makes the other think “I'm happy I fell in love with him”. It's the same towards the fans and colleagues. Even if I part ways with who has liked me or who worked with me, I think the best repayment is me continuing to be active after that. Being considered “ah, such a good man” gives meaning to the journey the two of us walked together until now, and I think it will shine on our respective paths from now on.
Encounters are the paths that continue after farewells. In order to achieve a new start, I want to experience many beautiful farewells.
Kame’s fixed point of observation
During the drama filming, Kamenashi-kun takes dance poses even in front of mirrors. When asked about his body shape becoming more and more slim yet muscular, he says “I'm avoiding carbohydrates in the evening and doing small muscle exercises while doing something else. After training last year, I don't gain weight that much anymore”. After that, as if he suddenly remembered, “there's something I'm totally into! “Upside down machine.” When I was doing flying acrobatics every day for the stage play, it was harsh but my health was good. I remembered that so I'm practicing the upside-down health technique (laughs)”

Date: 2016-06-13 03:58 am (UTC)After so many things happened and now read back about a year ago article is kinda of sad.
Some time plans can't keep up the changes. The path we think we supposed to walk thru may not lay exactly what you visualised. So, we need to be more versatile and adapt to the uncontrollable situation to live on to the fullest.
Life is not easy but do keep positive thinking to move on.
We can't avoid farewells... realise it, accept it and learn from it. No regrets in life.
His path.
Date: 2016-06-18 06:02 am (UTC)I feel really lucky somehow because the first time I come to your blog is also at the same time you made your comeback - post after several months! I've been really enjoying reading your translation of "Kame's Camera" these few days. Thank you so much.
I heard about KAT-TUN since my high school days but was never really into Jpop, and "the" Kamenashi Kazuya that I know and grow fond of is actually the actor Kamenashi Kazuya, because Japanese movies and drama are always my cup of tea! I feel sorry somehow that at first I didn't know anything about Kame (even the fact he is part of KAT-TUN), and continue to be such an irresponsible fan for a very long time (I barely look at profile of any actor or actress and only look forward to understand them through the way the analyse and interpret their characters), but recently I just decided that I had to know more about Kame so I can admire him to the fullest extent! That's why I start google about him and Google - sama led me here ~ Thank you for all your hard works *bow*
I'm really happy to read his thoughts from his 20s till recently. Whoever was in charge of this column did a really good job. I'm also in my 20s so his thoughts become even more attractive to me. The image of him that I get from these posts doesn't deviate much from what I've been thinking of him: a loner, a hard worker, a sensitive person, an ambitious guy, a boy with strong will, a man with pride and an (unofficial) leader with great sense of responsibility. But I also get to discover that he is someone who longs for his family and a forward - looking person with a great love for the opposite sex. I've never seen anyone who is such passionate aboutsex difference as Kame, honestly (maybe because he is too often described as feminine and beautiful haha?). I like the fact that he is always be responsible for whatever he does, takes control of his own fate and grows up to be flexible with any kind of situations. I love him even more to know how much he treasures every second of "encounters", how his mind captures even the smallest details of this kind of scenery. I was amused to see how he struggled to find his true self while growing up in a world that cannot be more complicated which is the entertainment world. I believe such a question comes to anybody, especially when you're in your 20s, like some kind of identity crisis, neh? It's fun to see that our Kame went through it too, and his strategy is to constantly reply to whatever other desire to see or to feel from him. He makes himself empty and fill it up by absorbing the whole world he lives within or encounters. Not everyone can nor should follow his method, I personally think his way of identifying himself makes him fit perfectly to be an idol and an actor. After all, he succeeded to produce his identity, his trademark, his "Kame-ism" that fans like me can recognize and enjoy from time to time. Thanks to "Kame's camera", I got to know a much more lively Kame who loves himself, loves people, loves his life, loves to give love and loves to be loved. This honest and sincere Kame is truly the best Kame that I love and would be proud of. His love truly puts him on top of the world.
Re: His path.
Date: 2016-06-18 06:02 am (UTC)About his path being an actor, I rather have a high and strict standard. Even I love Kame's acting in many ways and understand very well his sincerity towards acting, I hope he can moderate his ambition and makes one step at a time. Most of thing I feel from him is the beauty and the variety but I long to see more depth from his acting. Kame has the ability to interpret his character in the most interesting way possible so he is now pretty much a face than can guarantee the quality of a movie. But I feel like it still lacks something that stops Kame to climb up to the next level of actor. Kame has a mysterious and fascinating beauty that are built up by his perseverance and maturity. I will be waiting to see that beauty blooms in the more gorgeous way. Kame and KAT-TUN will always have my support!
Thank you Isi once again for the works you've done so far! I'm sorry if my comment goes way beyond of what this magazine series are about. Honestly, I want to write a proper comment to repay (even unproportionally ...) the effort you've made and hope that I can read more about Kame in the future with your help! Arigatou!
Best,
K.L
