Vol.2 Actually a coward.. I’m scared of ghost
O: Previously, we talked a lot seriously about the album, D’scover. This time onward, I hope we can do the interview with a light feeling.

D-Lite: Because I’m D-Lite. (laugh) [*Light and Lite have the same pronunciation]


O: Ahaha. Well then, with that feeling (laugh).

D-Lite: Eh, is it really okay like this?


O: We’ll put in laughter and also serious mode…

D-Lite: Ah~ This is becoming difficult. (laugh)


O: No no, with D-Lite san’s own feeling and intuition. D-Lite san is actually what kind of person, I would like to ask such questions to know your personality.

D-Lite: Ah~ okay, I understand. I’ll do my best. (Formally) Please treat me kindly.


O: Same here. Well, in the song Ai (Hata Motohiro), there’s a lyric “Me
Ga Mienai Kara Ai Nante Shinjinai ( I don’t believe in love because it can’t be seen by eyes )”. Do you believe in things that can’t be seen such as ghost or supernatural phenomena?

D-Lite: Yes, I believe them. Ghost.. is really scary.. (laugh)


O: During Big Bang tour, you have stayed at hotels in each countries around the world. Do you have any experience that you felt so worried and so scared until you couldn’t fall to sleep?

D-Lite: No I don’t have any. Actually, I never seen them even once.. That’s why I end up imagining the scariest image in my mind and unnecessarily make me feel frightened. For now I don’t have any experience where I can’t sleep but when I was kid, I was scared to sleep alone.



O: You can sleep well now?

D-Lite: Yes. When I want to sleep I’m not listening to music, then I make my room completely dark, and sleep without think about anything. And I wake up in a good mood. After sleeping for 6 hours, I’ll naturally wake up. But, when it’s okay to sleep more, just like that I’ll go to sleep again (laugh).


O: Are you scared of haunted house?

D-Lite: I’m really scared (laugh). Before this, together with Big Bang’s members we went to Fujikyu Highland’s haunted house (Super Scary Labyrinth of Fear) for a TV show’s recording. If not because of work, I’m definitely not going to enter it! Even when I think about it, haa~ (sighing) it was scary (bitter smile). I think I did well back then. It was a good experience!

O: Then, from “Tada Ichi Byou Ga Towa Yori Nagakunaru Maho Mitai ( Like a magic, just for a second  will be longer than eternity )”, if you can use magic, what do you want to do?

D-Lite: I want to teleport myself.


O: That’s just like D-Lite san travelling around the world. So, if you can teleport yourself now, where do you want to go?

D-Lite: For now? Well~ (After thinking for awhile)… I want to go to ski area. For 3 years I couldn’t go snowboarding, so I want to go there, and even for a short period I want to do snowboard, and chill out.


O: From Singer’s Ballad song, there’s a lyric “Udegumi suru biru no kage ni fuku keredo (Blowing upon the laping buildings shadows)”, is there any habit that you’re unintentionally always do?
D-Lite: Make a sound in my throat. And also, I’ll suddenly say “Hey hey” with a loud voice, usually to prepare my throat.

O: Is that something that you always do before a live?
D-Lite: Not only before a live, everywhere… Even when I’m sleeping (laugh). Honestly, when being asked if it’s good for throat, there’s no actual proof for it but when I do it, I’ll feel relax and can release my stress.

O: Is that means if you make the sound in your throat for many times, it actually shows D-Lite san’s stressed condition?

D-Lite: ‘Un Un’ (Suddenly he makes sound from his throat)


O: By any chance, your stress state is maximum now??

D-Lite: ‘Un Un’ ‘Goho Goho’.


O: Seems like you’re in a good mood after you clear your throat (laugh). I’m sorry for that. At a first look, seems like D-Lite san has a cheerful and easygoing personality. And also you’re concern about people around you and have delicacy to others. Surely you will also look at your surroundings, and you’ll feel stressed more.

D-Lite: The old me thought about so many things and that gave a negative stress to me. And that gave a burden to myself but now I learn the ultimate positive thinking ways from VI (laugh). If I change everything to positive in myself, including the pressure, then only I start to enjoy doing many things. Towards people around me, it’s something that I didn’t realize and it rather that, I don’t feel stressed at all. The subject of stress is yourself. For now, I’m really in a good mood. ♪(Suddenly with loud voice he started to sing) “Udegumi suru biru no kage ni fuku keredo~ Bokura wo nosete Melody wa tsuduku (Blowing upon the laping buildings shadows, the melody that carries us will continue)”


O: Perfect!

D-Lite: Is it really alright like this? (laugh)


O: Yes. For the next time, I want to approach more of your core part. I’m looking forward to work with you next time.

D-Lite: ‘Un un’ ‘Goho Goho’.. Ah I’m joking (laugh). For the time being, my interview series will continue, so everyone please look forward for it! Please give support for album ‘D’scover’ too.
