- TRANSLATION - TATSU-GUMI VOL. 110

Up next!
I love how almost all his entries have some otaku-related questions lol

What a good weather today, too
Shitty bastards

Well, let's go today too!

Q: What's the manga or anime you're mostly addicted to? I'm addicted to Kimetsu no Yaiba and Dr.Stone~
A: I'm watching both too~

Q: When you go to have a meal with Kamenashi-kun and Nakamaru-kun, I heard that Tacchan doesn't bring his wallet.
I would like to ask about your relationship with your other friends too. When you go to have meals with your good friends, are you bringing your wallet or not?
Please, tell, either each one. If you're not by yourself it's okay, but...
I want to know a lot
A: Well...
Don't misunderstand, I usually bring my wallet. I bring my wallet when I go to have a meal with somebody.
However, I just don't bring my wallet when I have to come and go for work. Because I don't really have time to use it. So, if I'm suddenly invited to have to go for a meal during a break from work, I say that I haven't brought my wallet.
But that's happened 1.2 times

Q: I'm always supporting you, Ueda Tatsuya-sama. The question is: would you perhaps do LASIK*?
A: I wanted to do it, but it looks like I can't...

Q: "Setsuyaku Rock" was an amazing drama for me, who loves both President (Ueda) and rock. You having the role of a salary man and the lead of a band made me laugh out loud everytime. I really enjoyed watching those things together.
I really want to see Takao-chan again**.
I would also like to have Nanase*** come back again for a spin-off or something
A: Thank you!
I did too, since I was given a new challenge!
It was very stimulating and fun!

Q: Since an unrelated senior spoke ill of me, I cut my hair really short**** because of the impetus. I was really irritated.
If it was Ueda-kun, what would you have said about it?
A: I would have paid attention to the grumbles to a certain extent.
But, in the end, your short hair... is cute

Q: If you could make a notebook which is not a Death Note, what kind of notebook would you make??
I would make a "Being loved by Ueda Tatsuya Note"!!!!!
A: Death Note

Q: I love Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest. Anyways, Ueda-san often becomes the subject when talking about looking like games' characters. Is there any character Ueda-san would like to do?
A: Well, that is...
Any character coming from Seven

That's it for today too!
See ya!


* A type of eye surgery
** Ueda's character in Setsuyaku Rock
*** Ueda's character in Shinjuku Seven
**** The person in question used the word "bassari" for the haircut she had, which is a sort of pixie cut

I've noticed that Ueda's journal thing kinda has Koki-esque type feel to it at the beginning. lol

[uedanoyome.livejournal.com]

I've noticed it too! lol
This kind of yankee/tough guy language is the really similiar indeed

[mrs-koki.livejournal.com]

very much so. It makes me wonder if Koki's heard Ueda rapping and what he thinks of it, from the view point of being someone who's done it professionally for years and was known as the best rapper in JE.

[uedanoyome.livejournal.com]

Aaah sometimes I wonder the same too!
Would he be proud? Or perhaps surprised? I truly wonder what he thinks of this new stuff Ueda decided to try

[mrs-koki.livejournal.com]

I think he would be proud, tbh. Outside Yuichi, Ueda would be the best one to try it. We all know Kame can't rap for shit, lol.

When Koki was still there, all the members remarked on just how hard Koki's rap parts were and admired him for his talent with it. Koki's a natural at it. I think Ueda has some natural talent for it or he wouldn't have even attempted it in the first place. He improves every time he raps. Would he ever be at Koki's level, I doubt it. Koki's had more years of practice at it and he still practices it. So he had a major head start on Ueda.

But he would be, and could be, classified as good at it for his level. Hell, Koki was even better at rap than Sho, actually a lot of people tend to be better at than Sho. This is an honest critique for Sho, he's one of my faves from Arashi and it wasn't really for his rapping.

[uedanoyome.livejournal.com]

I think so too and just imagining it is... ;^;
LMAO Kame rapping is so fun, though 😂

Well, Koki's raps aren't easy at all indeed and I always think how much of a genius he is whenever I listen to them. Not only singing them, but also writing them isn't an easy task at all. So, someone with as much experience and talent as Koki surely would enjoy seeing Ueda grow up this much ;^;
He's still not that perfect, but he surely is doing a great job so far and keeps getting better!
Idk if he'll ever reach that level Koki as since, as you said, Koki went with that right from the start of his jr. days. However, surely Ueda is giving his all and is becoming pretty good in his own way.

Agree with that!
Sho and Koki's rap styles are pretty different from each other as I saw (and I think Ueda's kinda absorbing Sho's style lmao). I like Sho's raps but I still prefer Koki's, afterall since they're way tougher and... idk how to describe them xD
But, just like you, I truly like Sho as well, so I'm not bringing him down any way xD
