Kera January 2010 Translation

I have to get up at 5 am to commute to school. But, college is fun.
Sleeping early to get up early, and eating breakfast steadily was the college life.


—I believe we haven't met for a while. You've started college since April, how is it?

K: U~m, I'm enjoying it to some degree. There are a lot of people who came from the district, and there are a lot of different people so the atmosphere in college feels different from high school.

—How does it compare to what you imagined before taking the school entrance exam?

K: I've heard from more than half the people I know who've gone to college say things like "We go out and have fun" and "It's so fun"
But, in reality, commuting back and forth is not fun at all. It is harder than high school. For six weeks, I get up at 5 A.M.

—Ehh! Hongo-kun is not a morning person? You're quite healthy!

K: I'm serious. Because it takes a while to get to school after getting up, I get really hungry by the time I reach school, so I eat breakfast there.

—There's not much difference from filming, is it.

K: In filming, there's variations in the scheduling....
So thats to that, I started sleeping early.

—By the way, what time do you sleep?

K: About once every 2 days, I sleep around 8 (laughs). I love sleeping. Sleeping is my best entertainment. And it's free (laughs). The train I take when I go to school is very crowded train, and there's no way for it to not be crowded. Even if I cannot get on in the end, there's nothing I can do. In the beginning, I listened to music on my ipod, but one day as I was getting off, the ipod got stuck on a person and broke in half when I dropped it. Since then, when it gets crowded, I'd stop listening.

—That's the baptism of college life.

K: It's the 2009 Ipod incident. Even so, the school is interesting. I've made a lot of friends and it is fun.

—Now then, Hongo-kun's 2010 Calendar is published and released. After various discussion, Hongo Kanata's hairstyle was made. Especially since he was so please with the picture from his birthday month (November)[1], so please look at it.
