SPECIAL EDITION - ALL ABOUT SANADA


Sanada Genichirou, the respected and famed Rikkai's vice-captain, has opened the doors of his summer villa to the curious eyes of the host of our Queer Eye For The Tennis Guy corner. Mizuki Hajime who, for once, has counted with the help of Seigaku's tensai Fuji Syuusuke and his camera, spent an interesting evening in the Emperor's and his guest's, Atobe Keigo, company. He snooped on them to his heart's content and here are the results of his merciless and insidious research, seasoned with Fuji's cameraman skills - that happened to be an invaluable help.



Mizuki: Nfu, it's a real pleasure to see you again, Sanada-kun, Atobe-kun. A nice love nest you have here, I must say. I suppose you remember me from the last time, I am Mizuki Hajime, manager of Saint Rudolph Tennis club and host of this little Queer Eye For The Tennis Guy corner in Ore-saMagazine. You also have already met my partner today, Seigaku's Fuji Syuusuke-kun, who will be in charge of illustrating this article with pictures. I'm so glad to see that you weren't expecting us. That will make this story the more trustworthy.
Saa, then, shall we begin? Let me remind our readers that you're known as the Emperor, the most powerful figure of Rikkaidai's Fuzoku Tennis club while the Captain, Yukimura-kun, is away from the courts due to his unfortunate illness, although I have heard that he's recovering wonderfully and will be able to play in the Nationals. But I digress. Lately, your popularity has increased exponentially due to your important role in the Senbatsu Tournament against the American Team that gave birth to what has already been labeled as the Tango Pair.

I'm sure our readers are eager to know the details of such partnership. How did it all begin?

Sanada: It's not like it's a secret. Atobe and I wanted to sort out who would be the first one to play against Tezuka and got caught red-handed by Hanamura-sensei and Sakaki-sensei. Fortunately, Sakaki-sensei understands Atobe's feelings and allowed us to continue our game.

Mizuki: Red-handed, it is, huh? I would have guessed that something like that would have ended up with your expulsion from the Senbatsu camp and yet...

Sanada: Getting caught playing a tennis match is not enough reason to be expelled from the camp, is it? *twitch*

Mizuki: Ara!! You were talking about a tennis game!! I see, I see. And somehow said game was moved to the bedroom where you also got to know each other better. Much better, if I might dare to say so.

Sanada: ... tarundoru!

Mizuki: Nfu, it's okay, there is no need to be shy, Sanada-kun. As you said, it's not like it is a secret, anyway... So, it was sweat, and tennis, and a common goal. It is wonderful to see how such chemistry can be produced from such simple ingredients.

Atobe: Well, Sanada, Tezuka and I are the most powerful players in the current tennis scenario, so it's not that extraordinary. Prowess needs prowess to shine, after all. It's true that we both were aiming at Tezuka, but Ore-sama isn't unhappy at all with how things turned out. I could feel there was magic in the air back then when we met at that tango concert.

Sanada: Let's not get into that.

Atobe: Right.

Sanada: And, by the way, there's Yukimura, as well, in that current tennis scenario. Yukimura is clearly my one and only insp...

Atobe: Are you trying to piss Ore-sama off? Aaaaah?

Mizuki: Oh, yes, the infamous tango concert. Sooner or later I will find out about that. So, now that you mention it, Sanada-kun, how did Yukimura-kun take your new partnership? We were all pretty convinced after your shameless display during the finals of the Tokyo Tournament, that your captain was someone really special in your life.

Sanada: Let's not get into that, either.

Atobe: *smirks* He's giving him hell. Not only he failed to fulfill the important promise he had made, but...

Sanada: Enough of this talk!

Atobe: Why? Are you going to bitch-slap Ore-sama or something?

Mizuki: Cool down, boys, I wouldn't like to be the reason for a break up now that I just managed to get a scoop into your lives. Let's change the topic, then.
Recently, Atobe-kun's new single, Macarena, has been released. Even though he brazenly stole my idea of rescuing a Spanish classic, it's obvious that this new piece of merchandise will get really popular among the fans, because, for this project, he has also partnered with his coach and some of his most popular friends at Hyotei and Seigaku. All of this, along with the rumours about the possibility of a second solo album and the crazy sales of his latest single, Riyuu, shows that Atobe's musical career is well on its zenith.

Atobe: Well, thank you, although it's Ore-sama we are talking about. Of course, everything I do is a blatant success.

Mizuki: My, my, Atobe-kun, humble, aren't we? Anyway, I have heard that you as well, Sanada-kun, will be getting a new single released in September.

Sanada: That's correct.

Mizuki: I'm sure all of our readers are dying to know more about this project. Isn't there anything you can give us as an advance on it? How's the single going to be called?

Sanada: That, I believe, is going to remain a secret.

Mizuki: What about external collaborations, then? Maybe Yukimura-kun? Since he is your source of inspiration and all. It looks like Atobe-kun didn't invite you to participate in this latest project of him...

Sanada: Neither were you invited...

Mizuki: Ara!! Stingy, aren't we? Then again I don't have such a close relationship with him now, do I? But back to the single...

Sanada: The details about my new single can't be revealed as of yet. There is still a long way to go until the single is released so we'd better take it easy.

Mizuki: Too bad. I guess I will have to keep my own investigations up if I want to find out something about it. It would be thrilling for it to be a tango, though. After Oshitari-kun's wannabe bolero, nothing will shock the fans anymore.

But, really, it's been a surprise after Kirihara-kun said you didn't like singing. You have managed to become one of the most popular figures in the current musical market with your participation in different boys bands during the latest year.

Sanada: You'd better grasp the chances when they are right before you. One never knows what may happen, after all. One day you're at the top and the next one you might find yourself at a hospital room, fighting for your life.

Mizuki: As you, my dear Rikkai people, know perfectly well.

Atobe: Are you getting sentimental again? Aaaah?

Fuji: Talking of graspig chances. I must thank you for allowing me to take these interesting pictures that will illustrate this interview rather well. But I have a little proposal for you...



Mizuki: My dear readers... Fuji-kun's sudden intervention cut this interview short, since the four of us suddenly were involved in a totally different activity, but it was for a good cause. The conditions of his proposal will remain in the darkness for now, but I can't help but admire the sleek way in which he managed to get the most interesting picture for your viewing pleasure. I understand now why he is called Seigaku's tensai. Anyway, without further ado, and as an Ore-saMagazine exclusive, I present you with the image that will surely go around the world. Feast your eyes on the toned body of the Emperor. Click on the link down there to see Sanada's full nudity. (And remember you can get your printed full size poster mailed to you for a ridiculously cheap price!)



And with this, Mizuki Hajime says goodbye until the next issue of Queer Eye For The Tennis Guy. Be good, be gay and, above all, let me get into your lives! Nfufufu.
