SKE48 2-Dimension Club (2次元同好会) Interview – Furukawa Airi, Hata Sawako, Yakata Miki

  October 5, 2012

-And you don’t hide that fact that you have that kind of hobby to your friends?

Furukawa: Not at all. I’ve been appealing this just normally.

Hata: In my school, Kidousenshi Gundum Seed was very popular among my friends, and I used to draw illustrations of the Amine together with them. Sure, everyone was very open about it.

Yakata: Me, too. I’ve never hidden anything about this. Time to time, I was told “What in the world are you using?” but I was just like “It’s Hagaren. Don’t you know that? It’s been very popular these days.”. I’ve just normally enjoyed talking about my hobby.

Furukawa: I guess maybe men care about this kind of stuffs more than girls.

Hata: Yeah. What I keenly remember is the boy who had a Shitaziki that has an illustration of a girl who is dressed in Bunny costume, and he was made fun of by other boys. I felt sorry for him.

Furukawa: That wouldn’t happen to girls.

Yakata: I think so.

Furukawa: I think if it’s girls, we don’t make fun of them, but just leave them alone if we aren’t really interested in their hobbies.

Yakata: Instead of minding how people thing about me, I want to enjoy being Otaku. That’s more fun. I can feel a joy just by being surrounded by my favorites goods.

Furukawa: Yeah, it makes us high, doesn’t it?

Yakata: It does. Even during the class, I was looking at my Shitaziki or clips from magazines while studying.

Furukawa: Looking back, in fact, I think “2-dimension lover” was my appeal.
I wrote about it during the audition for SKE48, and because what I love the most is 2-dimension, I figured if it’s 2-dimension, I can talk about it confidently. Plus I love drawing, so I figured all of these stuffs are my own unique personality.
