PERSONAL INTERVIEW WITH CHARACTER

What is your earliest memory? Ah... my brother ruining a sandcastle I made at the park, I think.

What was your biggest disillusion as a child? For a while, I thought my mom made my brother hate me. I'm not really sure where I got that.

What's one thing no one knows about you? Why would I tell you?

What's one thing everyone assumes about you that isn't true? I don't know; people assume a lot of things about me — some people think I do drugs? I guess my clothes and hair and piercings give off the wrong impression, sometimes.

What's one thing you wish you could stop? Already stopped it.

What's one thing you've always wanted to do, but never have? DJ for an all-night rave. That'll have to wait a few years....

What are you a sucker for? Good music, sweet girls, tabby cats.

What's your biggest pet peeve? Guys who go after girls just for the sex. It's just wasting your time to get her to hate you, anyway.

What is your most prized possession? My turntable. — Eventually, I'll get a real turntable, but that probably won't be until I've got my own place. This room's crowded enough as is.

What can absolutely make your day, no matter what? I can't think of anything in particular. Waking up to a favourite song is always nice... visits from the rest of the team....

What's the worst part of your life right now? There's not much, actually. I don't really like the rest of the team being in high school, though.

Do you have or want children? Am I seriously supposed to answer that? I don't know....

If/when you ever have children, what is one thing you absolutely want to teach them? Like I said, I've got no clue.

What was the worst advice your father ever gave you? The best? It was all one piece of advice, actually — he told me to give up on music and play some sports. I'll never give up music, but the tennis team doesn't suck.

When did you feel you'd finally 'come of age?' Captaining the team this year was a pretty big deal.

How do you feel about sex? Er... I... don't really know. I mean... I'm sure it's great, but it's not something I'd do with just anyone, either. It's not exactly topping my priority list.

Describe your ideal significant other. What is this, Cosmo? I don't know.

How do you deal with depression, stress or sadness? ... Music.

How do you think of yourself? Well, I'm obviously pretty awesome.

How do your friends think of you? I don't... really know. They like me, I'm pretty sure.

How do your enemies think of you? If they don't hate me, they're pretty sucky enemies.

Who is your biggest role model? ... Probably Shiraishi.

What is your biggest accomplishment to date? Nationals this year. We didn't win, but we made it there, and with the material I had to work with, that's a pretty damn big accomplishment.

What has been your most humbling experience to date? Losing Singles Three at the Regional Finals. Hayashi batted cleanup, and he was a prick about it, too.

What will it take for you to die happy? Like I know. That's a pretty long way off, anyway.

What would you rather be doing right now? I can think of a few things.
