Flying Magazine Spring/Summer 2014 Issue ft. Gaku Sano, Masato Yano, Yu Inaba & Taiko Katono Fashion Shoot + Short Interviews (translations below)

Gaku Sano

Sano: I love clothes, so I was excited that I got to wear three different outfits this time (laughs). Rather than having a preference for a particular brand, I tend to focus more on the shape and overall image of clothing, so when I have the opportunity, I often go to stores by myself to look for these things. Among the ones I wore for this shoot, I like the dark gray setup the best. Short pants or sarouels with boots are my favorite style!

"Excited to pass the role of a Kamen Rider, which he longed to play! He heads towards Gaim, evolving everyday with passion burning in his heart."

Sano: I truly never thought that I would be able to become the Kamen Rider that I had been so fascinated with as a child, so I was really happy when I was chosen for the role. I have no experience in action, but I'm confident in my physical strength, so I felt like, "Come on, I accept!" and I'd even act out the toughest scenes without doing voice over. I still have a lot to learn, but I want to improve myself and grow little by little, so that when I look back in six months to a year, I'll be able to confidently say that I've grown!

Masato Yano

Yano: Basically, I like simple styles, but I try to bring out their points of interest, whether it be with the pattern or color in one specific place or another. I also like parkas, especially this leaf patterned one I'm wearing, which definitely has a spring like seasonal feel to it! Parkas are not only easy and comfortable to wear, but you can buy them almost anywhere. I once went on set wearing a different parka for an entire week (laughs).

"A young talented actor discovered by Ninagawa Yukio. He continues to be active with appearances in numerous stage plays, dramas, and movies."

Yano: I'll be appearing in three separate films that will release throughout the course of this year, and in the Summer, I'll perform for the third time in a stage play directed by Ninagawa-san. It's been a while since I've worked in a production by Ninagawa-san, so I'm really looking forward to it! Recently, I've started to receive alittle more praise than usual (laugh), so I'll do my best to show you that I've atleast grown alittle.

Yu Inaba

Inaba: I want to wear as little clothing as possible during the course my life (laughs). My favorite style is wearing a single t-shirt! This sukajan is abit unusual for me, but, it's comfortable to wear and fits my look well. It's surprisingly refreshing. I tend to wear mostly black, so I like the monotone look of these items.

"Aiming to become a "highly sought after actor" while growing from his many experiences on doing stage plays."

Inaba: When I entered the Junon Super Boy Contest, I had a very casual mindset, but soon after my debut, I performed in a series of stage performances, where I became more fascinated with the joys of "performing." Recently, I've been cast in many dramas and movies, as well as more stage plays, so I feel as though I'm living a very exciting and fulfilling life. Right now, I cherish these works and encounters with people, but someday, I want to be an actor where people will say, "I want to go just to see him!"

Taiko Katono

Katono: Usually I wear leather jackets and slim pants, so today I went for a fresh, cute, spring like look with a white cardigan. I like cardigans because they're so comfortable to wear. The one I'm wearing isn't too light and is more firm than I expected, so it feels very nice to wear! The color tone is also gentle, it's very "springtime coordinated."

"Aspirations hidden under a cute face. Looking forwars to facing future challenges with a positive outlook!"

Katono: Recently, I was cast in the drama "Team Batista 4: Raden Meikyu", which was a pretty big deal for me. I thought, "I'm going to be apart of that popular series?!" I was so shocked. In this field, I've learnt alot and am reflecting. I think I've grown alittle thanks to it. I hope to gain experience in this way one at a time, and in 10 years, I hope to be an actor with roles that only I am able to play. For this reason, I'll do my best to do these things one by one!

Dating Headcanons - Kazuraba Kouta, Kumon Kaito

Warnings: Uh mentions of Kaito’s family, and general pain. I cannot talk about Gaim without being emo as hell. Spoilers for all of Gaim in general actually.

See, I originally was going to post ALL of the headcanons together but I decided to separate em out because I’m suuuper proud of the Kouta and Kaito ones I made. So...enjoy~!

Kazuraba Kouta

First off, not to be a ho but also to be a ho…have you sEEN this man??? Kouta is fucking fit as hell and he knows it. He uses his adept physique to help those around him and with his various part time jobs and all, it’s no wonder that he’s fucking built like a god damn Greek God. Anyway he doesn’t mind showing off to you but there is this fucking shy and sweet little proud flush to his cheeks as he flexes for you. “Do…do you like what you see?” he would question, almost hesitant to fully undress and only gives you hints of his body. But like…listen. You are treated to this visage 25/8 so it’s fuckinG GREAT OKAY???? But if anything, his body is covered in scars because of his fights and jobs so like…please kiss them. He’ll melt and giggle, claiming it tickles but it’s his fave thing!!!!

Kouta is the definition of a vitamin © he’s just full of energy and is always ready to cheer you up. The first thing he does when waking up is to either text you good morning with like the most fucking cringey emojis (an orange included) if you two live apart or with kisses if you two live together! This is mandatory and if neither of these things happen, you will find him being the most fucking pouty little bitch you have ever seen. Mai and Micchy are super quick to point this out, much to his chagrin because (as the eldest of his team members I believe) Kouta tries not to show it. He doesn’t want the others to worry about him much but like he is always looking at his phone longingly, waiting for a text from you or like letting out this longing sort of sighs because he misses you. Mai has you on speed dial, “Come and give your boyfriend a kiss already!! He’s being pouty and we can’t take it anymore!!! D:<” so really, you are also his Vitamin C!!!

Public affection is honestly, rather tame. Kouta always has his hand in yours or an arm wrapped around your body in some fashion. Why not? He loves you so much so of course he would!!!! He tends to swing your hands whenever they’re laced together, oh so cutely.

You always come to his dances whenever you can, even after he had left Team Gaim. It’s because you are close friends with the rest of them and seeing Kouta dance is something else. He’s this…energetic bubble, a beacon of hope - it’s simply magnetic. He draws people towards him like a king that draws people to flock towards him. Kouta has this aura, an energy about him, that makes you never want to look away. Why would you want to look away from him anyway? Lol

Okay, his sister already considers you as part of the family. You two talk all the time and she sends you little texts like, “Is my brother taking care of you well? I’ll chastise him if he isn’t! Just let me know!!! >:D” and it makes Kouta flush and text his sister back with proof that he’s taking good care of you. It’s all in good fun, however, and the three of you become oh so close knit. It hurts even more when Kouta has to leave, and you and Akira become even closer. You two have to cling on to each other for support in times like this. Kouta doesn’t want to leave either of you behind and he visits whenever he can but…it hurts so much.

Kouta is even more protective of you due to the fact you are also an Armored Rider. He has you in the corner of his eye, his back against yours, swords in hand and never letting you out of his sight. He dives in to take hits for you, not because he doesn’t believe in you but because…because he doesn’t want to lose anyone else to this invasion. He lost Yuya and losing you would just break him. So he fights not just for the people around him, but to bring you both home - to a home where you two can be yourselves, a home that you both love. You are his rock, his strength to keep fighting. Before each and every fight you two have, Kouta would kiss you (a peck to the cheek or lips or forehead) and hold you close for a brief second, whispering with a tense yet brightly sunny smile, “Come back safe, got it?” and it’s not a question or a demand…it’s a fucking promise.

It’s no secret that Kouta is often hella busy. Not just with his part time jobs but as a Rider. It’s similar to you as a Rider as well or just because of daily life. You two put your lives on the line no matter what, the Inves Invasion or just otherwise. So time spent with you is important and he will not give it up (unless it’s like an emergency) and I firmly believe that his love language is “time” and “words of affirmation” because Kouta always thinks with his heart first and head later. So dates are always kind of lazy, spur of the moment kind of things. Kouta goes with the flow most of the time and sure you two try to make plans but where is the fun of having a set schedule?! Go for it!!! Have fun with it!!! To Kouta, wherever you are and as long as you two are having fun…it’s a date for him.

Arguments are not often per-say but because Kouta is so fucking gungho to protect the people around him and doesn’t really…regard his own safety, you need to have a serious talk with him. It’s mostly bliss for you two but seeing as this is a very stressful time…it’s going to take some getting used to. The same goes for Kouta, accidentally blurting out things he doesn’t mean to say in the spur of the moment during arguments. He’s not trying to belittle you, he’s just terrified of losing you. You two fight together on the battlefield but Kouta won’t lie and say he hasn’t thought about taking away your belt in order to keep you safe or try to take you to another city to be safe (the ToQger special being prime example) but you need to assert your place here. You are going to fight until the end with him. You’re going to fucking protect him and he’s going to protect you. You two are in this together, no matter what. Kouta will relent in the end but you two promise to ensure to stick together and never let anything happen to each of you.

Okay, we all know Kouta is short as hell so like if there’s a height difference between the two of you PLEASE take advantage of it. If you’re taller than him, bend down to kiss him, or even pick him up! Fucking christ it makes him seethe and pouty and be like, “It’s not fair!” and sometimes he’ll just yoink you down for a kiss. If you’re shorter than him, Kouta is going to use your head as an arm rest just to tease you and always leave little dancing-like kisses up and down your form. He darts away before you can return them however, just to make you pouty too and giggle. But he’ll give you kisses in the end, don’t worry.

Loving Kouta is like the flowers that he now controls, they don’t rot but merely return to the earth that they grew out of - to be reborn and flourish once again. Loving Kouta is fleeting and ephemeral. Loving Kouta is setting yourself up for heartbreak for when he becomes an Overlord, he is terrified to tell you. He isn’t human any longer so it may not be best to be together anymore. He almost considers breaking up with you and he comes so close to. You shut him up before he can even think about that thought. You two promised to be together and you know that you cannot be by his side until the end when he has to leave but…you two are going to make it count. So when the god is leaving, he holds you close and lets his tears drip down on to your form. He gives your belt a parting gift, a portion of his power to remember him. Your Lockseed is warm, a pulsing beat and has that same warmth and love that radiates from Kouta himself. He kisses you every single second and makes it count. He whispers words that sometimes you cannot hear or understand (he speaks at a different frequency than human ears can catch but you can tell it’s full of sorrowful affection) but Kouta loves you and only you. He’ll visit you in his dreams whenever he can, or in person whenever he isn’t busy and the world is ending. It’s these moments that are the best of times, growing flowers to gift to you and keep alive…because even though his new planet is his home…you’ll forever be Kouta’s home.

Kumon Kaito

Truth be told, it’s going to be difficult loving Kaito. You two will make it work even if it means the death of you but it’s more so because of how prickly this man is. It’s not a bad thing because there are things that Kaito will only show you when you two are alone and little quirks that you only notice between the two of you. Like how he always has you in the corner of his eye or how his hand twitches whenever it’s in close proximity to yours. It’s the little things to be honest. So really, loving Kaito is an uphill battle because of his pride and his unwillingness to show weakness. Hell, even getting Kaito to agree to a relationship will be difficult. It takes a lot of time for him to agree, worried that it’s going to be a weak point for him but he does care for you and love you in his own way.

If you had been part of Team Baron it would be easier to break down his walls, but when he finds out you're an Armored Rider (regardless of being on his team or not) Kaito is noticeably protective of you on the battlefield. He has faith in you, he knows your skills, and trusts you to watch his back without saying anything. While Kouta and Micchy audibly and physically show that they are looking out for you, the trust Kaito has for you is something you cannot take for granted. It’s something awe-inspiring, back to back on the battlefield within a swarm of Inves, a synchronized sort of battle.

Not to mention that the entire team ships it!!!! Zack and Peco always tease you and Kaito (lightly of course because Kaito scary sometimes) but they see you like the second in command and tend to go to you for advice as much as they go to Kaito for help. It’s not like undermining their leader but more so you’ve become a part of this found family (sob) and they will do anything to protect you. You make Kaito shed this sort of smirkish and impish smile that tugs at the corner of his lips and he always tends to turn towards you juuust a bit slightly. His shoulders droop and he stands a bit straighter than normal, he seems…relaxed in your presence is the best way to put it. Actually Kaito kept your relationship a secret for a while but Peco found out and threw the biggest fucking party congratulating you two lol.

Dates are veeeeery lowkey. Kaito doesn’t really want over the top kind of occasions but prefers those when you two can just be yourselves. This mostly consists of staying at home or going to places where no one can find you - hole-in-the-wall places really. Kaito doesn’t have much of a sweet tooth so he prefers going to more savory places to eat with you. He has this habit of saving the last pieces of his meal for you, claiming that he “isn’t hungry” and that he’s “full” from his meal that he was clearly very much enjoying. If you leave him parts of your own meal to try, Kaito secretly beams and preens on the inside and claims that you’re “too soft” but snatches up your food anyway lol. Don’t ask him to feed you, he’ll do it with a bright blush on his face and if you feed him he’ll die hfuidsfvdhuhus. But honestly, I think Kaito doesn’t drink either and isn’t comfortable around the smell of alcohol or izakayas in general. It’s because of his papa and his alcoholism. So Kaito cannot stomach the smell or general taste of it. If you drink, you tend to do it when Kaito isn’t around but he does watch out for you if you two do go drinking together. He has his arm around you, leading you down the road in the most gentle of fashions and grumbling that you had better not die or how much of a fool you are. He loves you though, especially when you give him cute little drunk kisses. He’ll complain but secretly be happy.

What’s public affection? Fuck nah. That don’t exist. EsPECIALLY in front of Team Baron. Kaito tends to keep to himself whenever you two are in public, not because he doesn’t love you! He just…doesn’t know how to function half of the time. He wants to hold your hand but sometimes it’s best to let him come to you. To work up the confidence to do it. Sometimes it’s best to take the dive yourself and hold his hand, making him want to die inside out of embarrassment but it’s sweet and he doesn’t want to let go and squeezes your hand juuust a bit tighter. Other than that? Nothing. Just hand-holding. That’s it. Private is only when he’ll get more comfortable with soft kisses on the cheeks or pecks on the lips.

Kaito has a soft spot for kids and I firmly believe that he volunteers at orphanages and schools and daycares in his spare time. The kids also adore you whenever you visit! So like, sometimes going to hang out with kids is a sort of date between you two. It’s this rare smile that Kaito has that makes it worth it in the end. Speaking of, if you two ever decide to start a family together, Kaito wants to adopt kids plain and simple. He knows what it’s like to be an orphan (his parents uh…did not meet the best of ends) so he wants to give orphans a chance to have a family too. If anything, you two foster kids as well. Your home kind of becomes the “youth hang-out spot” for all of the kids in the city. They just show up and Kaito has the cupboards full of snacks and goodies to feed them, labeled accordingly. No kid is going to go hungry in your household! Actually, it’s what makes Kaito think of marriage - to see you interacting so positively with kids makes his heart melt and he finds his eyes drifting towards your fingers every now and then…

Kaito secretly sings whenever you two are alone. He has such a wonderful voice that you tell him that he should sing more often. He quips back that only you get to hear him sing because he hasn’t done it in many years - not since his parents’ death. It’s a vulnerability for him and slowly but surely Kaito gets more confident in his singing. He’ll sing you lullabies or sing random songs on the radio absentmindedly. It’s so sweet because he does this thing where he taps his finger or foot to the beat of the song and a glint in his eyes that makes him seem younger and not at all phased by conflict. Kissing him during this time makes him melt, it’s so great, pls trust me.

Arguments are not often but not rare. They’re not really screaming matches or arguments. Kaito’s blunt and will tell you what is wrong right away. He’s honest when he does have an issue and does make himself better for you if you say something to him. Sure sometimes he’s set in his ways and seems like he doesn’t listen but he does. He makes minute and miniscule efforts to make himself better for you and you notice. The subject about most of the arguments are about each other’s safety, more often than not. Especially when Zawame City is going to shit. Kaito doesn’t want to lose you and you don’t want to lose him. So you two take time together to talk things out in a respectful manner and sure they tend to become heated but never turn into screaming matches. You notice that he tends to flinch whenever you raise your voice so you are careful not to do so. Of course, the arguments end when you two agree to protect each other and as Kaito gets more and more power…he uses it to become more protective of you.

Kaito also has a collection of plushies that he hides from the others and only you know about it. The kids of course know and they are very careful when playing with them and he tends to give them away to the kids that visit more often than not. But there are times when he doesn’t, because those are the plushies you give him or remind him of you or the ones he wants to gift you! Kaito’s love language is time spent together, cooking, and gift giving. So time spent together and Kaito tends to pick up little gifts that remind him of you. Sure he doesn’t mind spending money but more often than not, Kaito is out there making things for you! One time he made you a scarf and like a bento for work and honestly, you cried.

Loving Kumon Kaito is bitter and sweet, both equally attacking you when it comes time to let him go. He isn’t scared of turning into an Overlord and you’re the first person he tells of what he becomes. You, like Yoko, want to follow him to the end but…he can’t allow that. Kaito loves you too much, you’re a weakness for him and the best kind. You make his heart feel at home and can take down those walls of his heart and mind. And it’s because he loves you that you cannot follow him beyond the veil of death. He destroys your belt as an act of mercy. You scream and cry at him and you see that he’s stoic and cold and calm as ever even as he secretly wishes to cry. But he only holds you close, closer than ever, and doesn’t speak but bury his face into your shoulder. It’s only then when you know what he means. So you cling to him, it may be the last time you do so. You watch the final battle between him and Kouta, and you hold Kaito close as he dissipates into the ether, a final kiss shared between you two and a promise. “Stay strong, not just for me, but for yourself.” and you visit his tree every single day. You swear you catch glimpses of him and his smile, faint touches and brushes against your body and face like Kaito is sending you final little respites and apologies that he cannot properly communicate. They’re freeing, unrestrained, like he can finally pour out his emotions for you…
