Rikkaidai Fuzoku's Emperor (Click To Enlarge) |
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... |
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. |
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... |
