Aki Matsumoto in 卡娜(SCawaii!) April 2012 [Caption: more gentlemen-like than men] Q: What’s your life  moral？ A: Do what one promises; treat others nicely. Q: In magazines you always have the role of a gentleman/someone who takes care of others, are you someone who is manly in her ways in your daily life? A: Uhm, how do I put it? My close friends all say I am a weakling who likes pretending to be strong. Q: Yet during photo shoots you are a pace-leading force? That’s because of my personality: weak but cannot let go of other people’s problems. Bascially, I am someone who likes to challenge things other people would find difficult - a twisted sense of justice as some might call it. For example, when I go out to eat with girls, I would definitely let them have the sofa seats. Q: Someone you cannot forgive? (i.e. serious pet peeves) A: People who cannot follow common sense; people who don’t say “thank you”. Well, although I would become angry from this, my anger disappears once I walk away. Q: What’s your way of making yourself more Kawaii (in this context, a better person)? A: Face myself honestly. However sometimes I am unable to because it’s too embarassing; I’m working on it. *laughs* Q: Who do you think is a honest and Kawaii person? Reina! When I was taking the taxi with her and another girl, Reina said: “Reina doesn’t want to sit in the middle~”. So I said: “Then I’ll swich with you”. I think if I was a boy, I would be pretty popular with the girls; I’ll definitely be one of those men who put down the toilet seat when they’re done. They’re very caring. *laughs* tr: jfashionmagazines
