PSP1800 『Vol.15 Saga (Alice Nine) x Rui (SCREW)』

This was a little more difficult than the previous interview so I got lazy to translate so I did a general overview for a superawesome friend. Overall, the main thing they were talking about is soccer XD Enjoy~

- Apparently Saga was told that he could choose anyone so Saga chose Rui because he was easy to choose.
- Rui went to the countdown live along with some of the members of BORN. Saga was touched because it was New Year's Eve where usually people wouldn't come and he got to spend it with Rui. Rui said it's because he wanted to go and said that it was good that he went.
- they met wayyyyy before; even before A9 was formed; when Saga was still in his previous band. Rui had just started his band and didn't know much people and his equipment couldn't work during rehearsal so he went to borrow from Saga and Saga immediately lent it to him which made Rui felt that Saga was kind.
- Saga checks Rui up secretly on his homepage and thinking, 'Ah so he's doing this sort band now'.
- Saga said when they met in the office, he totally didn't realize because Rui's hair was long; had an edgy feeling about him and his fang was shining.

- Rui said that they met a couple of times in the office but he didn't know when was the right timing to talk about the past.
- Saga said the other members of Alice Nine who knows the old Rui too were surprised because of the difference.
- Rui said Saga looks busy so he couldn't invite him to stuff and Saga was like, Reika said the same thing. And then Saga was like, 'I'm not the type to invite so if you invite me.' and Rui was like, 'Really!? Then I'll not hesitate and invite you!'
- Rui drinks alone at home too.

- Saga say he became uncle-like because he cannot live without beer and kept drinking beer in the plane the other time and Rui was like, 'me tooo. Once I get home, I change, open the fridge and psshhh (the sound when you open the can of beer)'.
- Saga asked Rui what he does at home and Rui says he watches movies, play games and drink beer and sleeps before its too late.
- Saga asked Rui to leave one day open in summer to go to the KONAMI office with him because it's the WINNING ELEVEN gathering. Saga went for 2 consecutive years but because he's alone, he feels lonely. There are other entertainers there but he's the only bandman so he feels really lonely. Apparently ViViD's Shin and D=OUT's Minase said they're good in WINNING ELEVEN XD But Rui heard from someone that Minase suck in it XDDDD
- before the 2010 World Cup, Saga totally had no interest and didn't know a thing about soccer.
- Saga did baseball and judo before.

- Saga thought that bandmen are supposed to be skinny so he tried his best to be skinny. He used to love sports a lot and did a lot of sports but not soccer. He totally had no interest in it until the 2010 World Cup and figured he couldn't catch up even if he did it now so he thought he could at least have a dream so he played 'Winning Eleven'. From there, he researched the history of soccer and got completely absorbed into it. In this 2 years, he read books and checked it up on the internet everything about soccer so he become someone who is pretty clear/detailed/familiar about it.
- Rui had his current height since middle school.
- Saga regrets that he didn't find out the good points of soccer earlier. He buys this magazine called 'Soccer King' every month and is subscribed to other soccer magazines. His bookshelf is filled with soccer magazines.
- Saga watches J-League because to him, only watching the ones overseas are regrettable. It's like the Japanese people who only listens to Western music and he doesn't likes that.
- The Japanese team Saga likes is Kashiwa Reysol. When he watches their games, he thinks they are a really good team. Rui likes this team too. Saga likes watching them play.
- For Western teams, Saga likes Arsenal.

- So they played a game on the spot. Saga's team was Manchester United and Rui's team was Real Madrid. Saga says that Rui is strong and Rui was really frantic/desperate while playing. Rui scored the first goal and Saga scored his so they had a draw at first but after that Saga scored another goal so Saga won the game in the end.

- Saga holds a place in Japan's top 16.
- Saga really wants Rui to go to KONAMI with him this summer.
- At the last part, Saga talked to himself saying: 'Aaaah... Rui-kun is good, seriously.'
