Non-no Oct 2009: Translation
So, I downloaded this last night and the photoshoot was not only awesome, but they had an awesome 20 question interview with the members.. including the infamous "What would you do if you turned into a woman for a day?" question. And Nino is a pervert (shocker).

Non-no – Oct 2009
Please don't take this out of my journal without my permission.
Color coded, because rainbows are awesome 
My comments are in italics
Enjoy!
Q1: Your first date with a girlfriend. 1) what kind of outfit do you wear 2) what kind of outfit do you want her to wear?
M: I don’t have a preference. I’ve also been looking kind of weak recently, so we can both have an unforced appearance.
O: Either is fine. I would wear a T-shirt, I would prefer her to wear pants instead of a skirt.
S: I would wear my usual. I would be happy if she took into account her hair or nails more than what she’s wearing.
A: Anything is fine in casual wear. If it fits the TPO (time, place, and occasion), it’s okay.
N: I would wear clothes I can do things in depending on the location. If she can put off a feeling that she tried hard, that’s enough.
Q2: What is something you want to be told by a girl, and a killer expression you want to tell a girl?
M: Anything to bring the gap between us closer. For example, saying something like “I didn’t expect you to ____”.
O: I want her to say “I’m glad you fish a lot”. I want to say “You’re already falling!” (laughs)
S: I want her to say “When are you gonna sleep?”. And I would say something like, “When I’m with you, time flies”.
A: I want her to say, “Woooooow!” (you would, Aiba
). I think that’s an all-purpose one (laughs). I would say, “Is it okay to go along?”
N: I would be happy if she said, “You’re great”. The second one is private. When it comes to the real thing, I won’t be able to say it. (laughs)
Q3: Your ideal proposal is?
M: After I blow her away with a surprise, say it straightforwardly!
O: “Please marry me!”. You don’t really need anything other than that (laughs) (haha this sounds so much like him)
S: Pass her the marriage registration and say, “Please autograph/sign this!”
A: I would try asking with natural feelings, “Wanna try getting married?”
N: Enthusiastically without hesitation. As for what I would say, it’s sealed until that day (grin)
Q4: Tell us plans for a memorable date!
M: A day trip at the amusement park. We’d start from where I go to pick her up!
O: Hand make a goody or accessory, and then give it to her as a present! ♪
S: At a restaurant, reserve a surprise desert!
A: Charter a helicopter! Although it’d be borrowed from a friend (laughs).
N: Go to the spot where we met etc, and cruise around our “Memorial Spot”!
Q5: Your love weaknesses are?
M: I tend to give priority to really close friends.
O: Probably that I do everything at my own pace.
S: I don’t have a particular “weakness”, I’m just bad at it (wry smile)
A: My tension goes up too much, so I get really tired……
N: I’m sorry, but… nada! (grin) (Nino you devil haha)
Q6: Where do you catch yourself accidentally looking at women’s bodies?
M: Probably the butt (laughs). It’s good if it’s got a tight look! (omg pervert..)
O: Everything (laughs). If she’s got a natural air about her, that’s great.
S: The upper arm. It’s got a different look and feel to a man’s.
A: The waist. In the summer if I see girls wearing swimsuits, I accidentally look (laugh). (accidentally… suuure you do, Aiba)
N: Pretty hands. The nails don’t have to be done up or anything.
Q7: Your ideal 1) wedding ceremony 2) honeymoon is?
M: Have the ceremony in Hawaii, and then stay there for the honeymoon. I wonder if the members would sing a medley for me (laughs). (omg that would be so cute
)
O: I think it would be best if we talked together and decided. When our opinion would differ, I would give in.
S: I would want the ceremony, then the after-party, then the after-after-party full course. As for the honeymoon, wouldn’t it be good to go somewhere that memories of the both of us?
A: I long for a ceremony with just the two of us, or a party with a huge crowd! For the honeymoon, relaxing in the southern country would be ideal.
N: I would adapt 100% to her! If she tells me her wishes, I would think about it, and make it come true!
Q8: A favor from your girlfriend. Which is ok?
A – Matching styles (pair look) B – Say you love me C – Ride the Merry Go Round
M: A is kinda embarrassing (laugh). I’ll do my best with the other 2!
O: If I’m asked those three, I’ll do them. There’s a little resistance to A though.
S: A is a delicate situation, B seems like I would say it in a monotonous voice (laugh). C is OK!
A: All three are okay! I think I’d have fun while doing it (laugh) ♪
N: No problem whatsoever. If it’s my girlfriend’s request, let’s do it!
Q9: What kind of mail (text message) from your girlfriend would make you happy?
M: A girl who usually doesn’t watch TV, then sends her feelings about the show would surprise me.
O: As soon as I get done with a live broadcast, if she sent me a message that said, “I saw you”, I would be like, “Yes!” (laugh).
S: Something like, “Don’t catch a cold”, I’m weak to words that are concerned about my health.
A: If she put in things like a smiley face, hearts, or emoticons, I would be happy. (Oh Aiba
)
N: A really high tension mail. Cuz’, you only really receive mail like that from women, right?
Q10: What is the difference between “lust” and “love” in one word!
M: “Lust” is the state of your heart. “Love” is probably something that can’t be put into form.
O: “Lust” has kind of a cute feeling. “Love” is a much deeper thing.
S: Whether or not you can acknowledge your partner’s weak points or not.
A: Ehh… I don’t know! I want to be able to tell you.. (frustrated)!
N: The character (kanji) is different! (instant reply) (Nino, you stinker) …. After that is the difference between if it’s one person or two. (I think what he means is if it’s mutual feelings, but I couldn’t really translate this better)
Q11: If asked about a memory of a region/area?
M: The food is all impressive. In the future, I’d like to try to go to all the famous sight seeing places.
O: Fishing at Nagasaki’s Tsushima. The locals were so kind~.
S: An open music event in Kochi. The reggae felt great.
A: All the scenery. If it’s food, Kumamoto’s horse meat and Fukuoka’s mentaiko. (a kind of fish egg)
N: It’s overseas, but I can’t forget Korea’s yakiniku (grillied meat) and Taiwan’s shouroppo! (they never shut up about that, do they
)
Q12: If you became a girl for one day, what do you want to do?
M: First of all, I would wear a bikini, and then stand in front of my mirror!
O: Love! I’ve wondered what it’s like to fall in love with a guy (laugh). (You already know, Ohno
)
S: I’d like to wear a kimono. It’s reeeally hard to wear one, right?
A: I’d do things that a man can’t do. Like experience the pain of childbirth.
N: Well, I’d probably touch/feel my chest (laugh). Everyone would definitely do that, right~!?
Q13: Tell us about a dream you frequently have or a dream you had recently!
M: I’ve had this dream countless times… I get attacked by a bug and my body gets a hole that opens.
O: In my dream, I was attacked by a tsunami. But I was saved, so it was a happy ending. (Were you saved by Nino?
)

)
N: I seem to have a lot of nightmares. But, I can freely change them.
Q14: What’s something you got recently that made you happy?
M: A panama hat (Link because I had no idea what it was until I looked it up, so I thought others would be confused too lol)! I wanted to enjoy a summer feel.
O: It’s pretty old fashioned, but my fishing poles.
S: A black (electric) fan. Even in mid-summer it was comfy~♪
A: A peach (laughs). I ate the whole thing magnificently.
N: A game I received for my birthday!
Q15: In your home, where is your favorite place?
M: Desk. It’s my home base for when I’m thinking.
O: On top of the bed. It’s fun to sit and watch fishing shows.
S: It’s gotta be the living room. It’s where I can spend time with my family.
A: The dining table. When I sit down I can simmer down.
N: In front of the TV (you would, Nino lol). It’s a place where I can have fun playing games and listening to music.
Q16: If you won 1 million yen in the lottery, what would you do with it?
M: I would only need about half of it to spend on myself. But I do want a big property/land!
O: I don’t really use money. I’d give it to my parents and entrust it with them (laugh).
S: I’d go to a place with lots of trees and the ocean nearby, and have a huge BBQ with lots of people in a cabin.
A: I’d charter a theme park, and go all out with my friends!
N: Put the whole thing in savings. I really like the job called “savings” ♪

M: Vacuum cleaner! Because I can take anything. Suuuuuck suuuuuck~ (laugh)
O: Hmmmm… Is there a ponderous, peaceful appliance (in thought) !?

N: Probably the newest model of TV. (boasting) Cuz’ you can clearly see me, right?
Q18: “Just this is bad!”, something you are weak with, or something you are scared of?

A: Probably lizards. Even though when I was a kid, I didn’t have a problem with them at all!
N: Bees. Because if they sting me it’ll hurt. If I see one, I run away! (Me too, Nino, me too
)
Q19: If you had a one month vacation, what would you do?
M: I’d prepare for 5 days, then do a vacation in Europe for 20 days, and then 5 days rehabilitating (laugh).
O: I guess I’d either go to the south, or shut myself into my house. Lazing around is the best ♪
S: Do a real safari in Africa, then in South America I want to enjoy some reggae!
A: I’d like to try out a bunch of new jobs! And make some yakisoba (grilled soba) at a sea house.
N: I think while I say, “I wanna woooork~”, I’d drag around the house.
Q20: Who do you respect?
M: Friends. Even though our genre is different, they give me motivation.
O: Someone who digs deep into their beliefs, I could respect anyone like that.
S: Someone who even though they’ve become an adult, they won’t forget their dream. If I met that person, I would be moved.
