transitions101It's been a while since I last translated a MORE article (i.e. 2010), but a few friends pointed me in the direction of this article and I dived back in. Enjoy!
I think that putting people into different categories indicates a sort of superiority complex. In my line of work, it’s important to have people whom you can trust, but it’s troublesome to have to categorize people that way, and it’s also meaningless to do so. I trust not only Director Yamada who’s an experienced veteran, but also everyone whom I’m working with. Given the choice to trust someone or not, I’d choose to trust everybody. It would be arrogant of me to exclude the people whom I distrust, or give preferential treatment to the ones I do trust. But it is difficult to apply this practice to my personal life, which is probably why I stopped going out as much. (laughs)
“Trusting everyone that you meet.” Another way of putting it could be, “Not trusting anyone in particular.” When I said that, he replied, “That’s probably true. (laughs)” That being said, there are people whom he trusts.
It’s obvious, but I trust my family. And the members of Arashi. But if my feelings for Arashi were defined as “trust”, then I’d pretty much be distrusting everyone else. (laughs) I guess the time we had spent together and our shared experiences made our relationship a special one? I’m sure those aren’t the only factors, but I don’t know. You can’t designate a reason for truly important feelings. However, I think it’s possible to be betrayed by the people whom you trust deeply. In order to feel a negative emotion such as betrayal, you’d have to love and hold expectations for the other party, right? I think it can’t be helped no matter who betrays my trust.
Even if you were betrayed by Aiba-kun, someone who knows you inside out like an older brother? A companion who stays by your side like Ohno-kun, a tolerant and reassuring person like Sakurai-kun, or an absolutely faithful person like Matsumoto-kun; would Nino be fine even if they betrayed you?
Hmm. It’d be something different from shock. I’d think, “Oh, so that’s the kind of person he is.” I mean, humans are multi-faceted creatures, and people often fall into conflict with their siblings or parents. Humans are creatures who can unconsciously betray the trust of someone else. (laughs)
All humans have flaws. It’s normal to be dissatisfied in a relationship.
Nino is resigned to his own truths when constructing relationships with other people.
Relationships without vested interests, such as friendships and romantic relationships, are simple. We’re together because we like each other, but when we cease to like each other, we grow apart. However, when you’re at work or in a marriage, where there’s a contract involved, it’s something which affects your livelihood. Even if you start feeling negatively about the other person, you can’t break off the relationship easily. A person who readily destroys such a relationship wouldn’t be able handle a relationship with someone else. That’s why I think humans have flaws by default, so I try not to look at other people’s weaknesses.
He’s the kind of person who’s able to see the flaws in people, that’s why he consciously avoids looking at them.
Before I see a person too clearly, I tend to play games while talking to them. (laughs) After knowing everything about a person, I feel that it’s fine to just see the parts of the person that I want to see. Isn’t this a tactic which you can use at the workplace or in a marriage? I’m sure there are women who want their relationship to remain lovey dovey, or hope that their partner will always view them as a woman, but that in itself is unusual. (laughs) There isn’t a relationship which will remain unchanged, and wives will grow weary of their husbands as the years go by. Isn’t that the norm? I think it would be easier if people could subscribe to that.
And one more thing. Nino values this when it comes to relationships with others.
I don’t want to create a hierarchical relationship with the people that I associate with. I simply hate it. It’s especially true for people whom I’m close to at work or in my personal life. I dislike fighting over who gets to take the lead (in the relationship); since it’s troublesome, I simply subscribe to my own way of “taking the lead”. For example, if the other party so desires, I would allow him* to do what he wants, keep quiet and follow his lead. I just need to be strong enough to be myself so that my partner is free to do whatever he wants. That’s what relationships are to me.
T/N: Nino doesn’t specify a gender for “the other party” mentioned in his speech, so pronouns which denote the male gender can also be used to denote the female gender.
A change in thinking based on his unique philosophy.
I think two people who struggle to take the lead in a relationship end up being in the same position. That’s why I feel it’s also fine, on the surface, to leave the decisions up to the other party. Even if he ends up receiving the credit, what’s important is that he feels good about it, and things remain harmonious. However, when he’s about to falter, I need to be strong enough to be able to pick him up in order to avoid the worst possible situation.
This is dedicated to @FindAiba, @JesuDesu, @kyraensui, @leana9101 and @ToBeFree0714. Because peer pressure is effective at times.
Scans: nada
Translator's note: I'm a little out of practice with MORE articles. (Nino speaks in long sentences!) Do let me know if you spot any translation errors.
Filming for the movie, “Haha to Kuraseba” had begun. His strong association with Japanese cinematic titan Yamada Youji and Yoshinaga Sayuri continues. When we asked him about his thoughts, he said in an easygoing manner, “We always have a great time. I receive a lot of valuable direction from Director Yamada, but I don’t get nervous.” As for why he remains a level person no matter who he’s interacting with or where he is, it’s because he doesn’t place people into different categories.

Date: 2015-07-05 08:06 am (UTC)Nino's opinion always amazes me... always makes me think....
If I could conclude from his interview: You can trust all people around you, but you have to know that maybe one day he/she will betray you..
For me, like Nino, family is the one I trust the most. Family is the place that I can come whenever I want..

Date: 2015-07-05 12:18 pm (UTC)I JUST WANNA HUG NINO SO MUCH OMG. i get scared on his opinion on these kind of things bc i just can't help but think that he experienced something unpleasant i feel like he needs to be loved by someone that'll make him trust in "relationship" "love" and those kind of stuff. i just want him to have a positive outlook towards those without thinking that much. i agree with his opinion regarding hierarchical relationship and i know he's a 32 year old adult who knows what he's doing but i just want him to enjoy life T.T like be that kind of person who gets excited in little things that his partner does, be genuinely in love without thinking too much. gdi neen be selfish even for a moment. >< i'm not saying i know him and his life bc i'm just a fan, i can only support him. but you know what i mean. i hope you know what i mean >< haha
thank you for the translation! sorry i ended up talking too much >

Nino's been blessed with the ability to come up with profound talks and it's always interesting to hear his views on things. And although, I share a lot of his dispositions in life, his mind will always be a mystery to me.
Thank you for translating.

Date: 2015-07-06 02:18 pm (UTC)Second, I've read this at least a half dozen times, and it's heart breaking. I can relate so much to what Nino said, because I understand the "voice" in which it was said. We may never know ... and frankly it's none of our business ... what happened to Nino, but what he is saying and how he is saying it; is coming from a person who has experienced true heartbreak and betrayal. I've personally experienced that level of betrayal in my own life and what Nino said in this interview resonates with me a a deep level.
It always kind of surprises me when I find my thinking and my views matching Nino's because he is the member it took me the longest to warm up to, maybe I'm beginning to understand why.
