Translation below:
In terms of his career Ryo said he is really taking it easy. He admits it was scary at first when he became an independent artist. Cookie said rye must’ve been brave, Ryo said rather than being brave it’s more like taking responsibility if he fails. Even though all the responsibility falls on him, Ryo feels it’s better that way. He feels like his life & career now more healthy
On when Ryo will retire from the entertainment industry
Cookie: how long do u plan to be in this business? Will you continue even when you become an ojisan?
Ryo: To be honest, I think it I’ll be done when they don’t want me anymore. But by that point, I’ll realise it on my own and I’ll withdraw by myself and then live my life doing only what I want to do. Maybe I’m preparing for that now.
3. Ryo does admit he sometimes loses his temper & gets angry. He doesn’t want be angry but admit there times he gets really annoyed & it shows on his face.
4. On when Ryo feels peaceful:-
Cookie: is there anything you do, a thing, a place or an activity that makes calm and peaceful?
Ryo: I think it’s when I go for a walk in the park. When I takes walk with my friend, their spouse and their baby. I felt very peaceful.
Cookie: What about when you’re surfing?
Ryo: It’s really strenuous when you’re in the middle of riding a wave… I feel good after I succeed in riding out a wave. Even in winter, after a shower, I can wear just a t-shirt. I feel satisfied at those times.
5. Ryo on what makes him cry & his views on acting:-
Cookie: I cried while watching the Blue Giants movie. I was so embarrassed crying in front of my kids while they were just eating popcorn. Have you cried recently?
Ryo: Well, I don't really cry at sad things anymore. I cry more when I watch wedding videos of people I don’t even know 😆
Cookie: ah, because of other people's happiness?
Ryo: I feel that is more touching.
Cookie: Do you cry at once when you do a crying scene?
Ryo: I can cry right away!
Cookie: Some actors really get into their roles, don’t they? Even when they are off-screen. Are you not that type?
Ryo: No, I'm not that type lol. Of course there are ways of approaching it, but in my case, even when I’m doing serious filming, I’ll be singing on a music show later that evening 😆
5. Ryo on cars:-
Cookie: are you particular about cars?
Ryo: When I was about 24 years old, I bought a classic Mercedes-Benz car with vertical headlights. I still drive it now
Cookie: Like the one in Ringo Sheena’s Tsumi to Batsu music video?
Ryo: Hahaha yeah. But when I was in my early 20s, I got a little carried away and bought an Aston Martin. It was a DB9 model. Although I liked it very much… but every time I passed by the exact same car and I got little demotivated 😆, so I switched to a Mercedes Benz that no one seemed to be driving.
I'm gonna be in so much detail because I have a lot of fav songs, I'll be listing my fav artists, why I love listening to them and my fav songs from them :)
Epic The Musical made by Jorge Riverra-Herrans
If you love listen to musicals and love greek mythology, this one's the goat. I don't have a favourite song from this album because all of them are just too good.
But if I had to choose....
All in order, my favourite songs on these sagas are
Troy Saga:
The Horse and The Infant
Just A Man
Warrior of the Mind
Cyclops Saga:
Polyphemus
Survive
My Goodbye
The Ocean Saga:
Luck Runs Out
Keep Your Friends Close
Circe Saga:
Puppeteer
Done For
There Are Other Ways
The Underworld Saga:
The Underworld
No Longer You
Monster
Sonic the Hedgehog Frontiers Soundtrack
The boss music in this soundtrack are so cool I cannot stress this enough. It's like as if SEGA found out about the rock genre of music and tried that out for Sonic: Forces and never looked back.
Fav songs from the soundtrack are:
I'm Here
Undefeatable
Find Your Flame
Break Through it All
Infinite (this on is from the Forces soundtrack)
MARINA
She was the prime when I started out my teenage years, I thought I was that girl whenever I listen to her. Listening to her songs felt so superior but also a bit depressive.
Fav songs from MARINA are:
Ancient Dreams in a Modern Land
Bubblegum Bitch
Teen Idle
Seventeen
Hermit the Frog
The Family Jewels
Primadonna
Oh No!
Laufey
Bigg on laufey, all of her songs were so ETHEREAL and my voice flows smoothly everytime I sang her songs.
Favs:
Valentine
Serendipity
Magnolia
Bewitched
Fragile
California and Me
Falling Behind
Goddess
(Fun fact about me... I serenaded the song Magnolia to my girlfriend before we started dating... And another serenade of Valentine on our first valentines day date)
Ricky Montgomery
His songs are such a vibe, whenever I do chores and other stuff that keeps me busy I always put his songs on
Favs:
Snow
Mr. Loverman
This December
Talk To You
California
AURORA
Her songs are so whimsical it genuinely makes me feel like a fairy sometimes LMAO, her song just makes me want to fly up to heaven because that's what her voice sounds like.
Favs:
Into The Unknown (yes, from Frozen ll, she was the siren voice in the movie)
Runaway
Giving in to the Love
Running With The Wolves
Cure For Me
Dance on the Moon
Mothership
The Crane Wives
On the topic of whimsical, The Crane Wives feels like the songs are the winds running along with the animals. Personally, they are the best lyrical geniuses I've ever heard. I've seen a lot of beautiful comics and fanart from a wide range of fandoms that are actually lyrics from most of their songs.
Favs:
Tongues and Teeth
The Moon Will Sing
Curses
Icarus
Shallow River
The Hand That Feeds
Chappell Roan
I listened to her songs recently, and it's so cool that all of her songs are explicitly gay, like no hiding and undertones whatsoever. And I came to like her a lot!! Especially her album The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess
Favs:
Good Luck, Babe!
HOT TO GO
Red Wine Supernova
Femininonemon
