Royal blue.

Jazz.

Smells similar to a not very strong soap.

Shingo-kun, because he's entertaining to watch (laugh).
>>TV Show?
I really like dramas dealing with serious subjects (laugh).

Well, it's not really a fairy tale, but Disney's "Aladin". I like flying through the sky, and places that don't exist in the present.
>>Shopping Spot?
Osaka.
>>Jewel?
My birthstone, turquoise.
>>Tea?
Sokenbicha tea is my favorite.

It doesn't exist in Kansai, but chikuwabu. Why isn't it here, I wonder? It's so good (laugh).
If

Eh~!? I'd be spinning (laugh).
>>If you were a man?
I'd be a male model and I'd be leading fashion (laugh).
>>If you woke up one morning the size of a thumb?
I'd want to adventure around my own house. Trying to get into my furniture and the cracks around them (laugh).

A place where I could see the ocean.
>>If you could change the capital city?
Nara. I played Nakaooe no Ouji in Akanesasu Murasaki no Hana, and the memory of that land called Nara remains with me still. Now, returning to the rebuilt city of Nara I feel that it's not as interesting.
>>If you could gain any skill?
I'd like to pass the bar examination and have an opportunity to try the difficult experiences of a lawyer.
>>If you could speak in a language other than Japanese?
French.

Swimming. For some reason I have this desire to submerge myself in water.

Ramen (laugh).

A travel show. I'd be the one traveling (laugh).

Spare time.
