【オリ★スタ】 2012/02/06 - Jurina + Rena interview translation part 2 (part 1 here).

More delusions. Jurina is reading way too much shoujo manga. Vivà Independência!Ψ(｀∇´)Ψケケケ

——

Q - In addition to those numerous  heart-pounding scenes, a passionate dance is conducted on top of a completely empty building giving to the ensemble an incredible intensity.

Rena - In the middle of the roof too, there were not only vibrations but also braces that came out, dancing there while avoiding them was hard.

Jurina - (nonchalantly) Was more hazardous than we had thought.

Rena - We shoot the MV in Okinawa but SKE48 isn’t well know over there yet, so the people in the neighborhood, from the surrounding building were shouting 「It’s AKB48!」 (laugh).

Jurina - No, they said 「It’s NMB48」 (laugh). When we went down, there were lots of kids waiting for us. I thank them and played with them when all of a sudden, the little girls start flipping my skirt. Even when the other members arrived downstairs, they only flipped mine! Even if this happened, it was a lot of fun.

Q - They messed with you (laugh)! On site, what else proved challenging?

Rena - There is a scene where I have to run in a field of zebra grass, I was told to do it barefoot.  While I run, there were many times I barely escape falling.

Jurina - Then, there is the slap scene! At first we were told it was ok to fake it but the two of us  protest 「No, let’s do it for real!」. Wouldn’t it look bad if that was the only scene lacking reality? Bur being strike repeatedly hurt more than I had thought (laugh).

Rena - Because of the cold, you were granted some extra (laugh). And then when the director finally called “cut” for this scene, another member made her entry to shoot another slapping scene. But I didn’t need to appear in this one (laugh).

Q - I want to see the complete version! Now with regard to the intro scene where two girls kiss, could you two tell us about the kind of imaginary kiss scene you’re yearning for?

Jurina - Ehhh?! (To Rena) What about you?!

Rena - Eeh, I’ve no idea!! Somehow my heart is racing (laugh).

Jurina -  Even if you can’t tell, I like being spoiled, I want to be cajoled. I can’t make the 1st move to  kiss, so when I’m being pampered, here, firmly and like a real man should! Usually it would always end with a 「there~ there~」kind of petting, but being kiss there, when I least expect it would be nice I think!

Rena - Well, then me… I would be busy and could not t meet with the one I like for a long time, when we finally meet again, receiving a gentle kiss would make me happy… maybe.

Jurina - And the dialogue?!

Rena - I don’t need that! It’s not about what is said~

Jurina - Really?! Me their are things I want to be told though…　After suddenly being kissed  I want to be asked 「Was it embarrassing?!」.　The embarrassment would grow unbearable, my heart would certainly race like crazy!

Rena - Such a masochist* (laugh). You’re weird!

Q - You got a little carried away (laugh).

Jurina - I must have read too much manga (laugh).

Q - The coupling songs too, Jurina Shiro gumi’s 「Hanikami Lolipop」and Rena Aka gumi’s 「Koega kasurerukurai」 are about unrequited love, but their approaches are completely different. One is a cute and cheerful unrequited love, the other is tormenting. If you were to have a one-sided crush, which song would you be closer from?

Jurina - I think I would want him/her 「to notice me!」, thus I’d try to appeal to him/her. Like proactively talking to him/her. If even that was to fail, I’d give up once for all.

Q - So straightforward (laugh).

Rena - I easily get pessimistic. This 「Koega kasurerukurai」fits me perfectly. With all those negative thoughts, I bet I must be really hard to deal with.  Oppressing maybe.

Jurina - Eh~ I’m more a pain than you are. Being excessively assertive (laugh). In Rena’s case, her surrounding will probably notice about her crush. With comments like 「She seems to like him/her」.

Rena - Uh, that would be a problem! (laugh) If such a secret was to be unveiled, I would be too ashamed to keep living in this world.

Jurina - Ehh~ Me to the contrary I think it would help if I was exposed. It’s easier to make your move if the one concerned already knows.

Rena - I don’t want someone to look at me this way!

Jurina - Why?! I don’t think there is anyone out there who don’t appreciate to know someone like them.

Rena - Ehh~?! Is that so?! (laugh)

Q - Those delusions are reaching new peaks (laugh). Last, tell us about your ambitions for 2012.

Jurina - Yes! I’ve the feeling that in 2011 more people got to know about SKE48, but it’s still not enough, there are people who are still not quite sure about who we are. With the release of 「Kataomoi Finally」, I want to become an idol loved by people from all ages.  Even for people who are not interested by idols, I think it’s a pleasant song to listen to.

Rena - This year, we will need to believe in ourselves as SKE48 to steadily affirm our “uniqueness”. So we won’t be simply chasing after AKB48. For us to be on par. Not the same,  not an object of comparison, I believe we need to establish SKE48 as a separate existence altogether.

Jurina - We are referred to as a group sister, but we want to gain our independence!
