HIGHLIGHTS from RADIOiNEWS with FURUKAWA

Furukawa was invited as special guest to the radio show RadioiNEWS (12/11/2019) wherein he broadcasted live.

The broadcast was 45 minutes long, so I cannot possibly write everything down here, but allow me to share a few highlights with you!

Response to Fan Messages

✬ Extreme Happiness ✬

Q: “Mr. Furukawa, I am incredibly happy to learn you shall reprise your role as Der Tod in ‘Elisabeth 2020′, and I really want to share this happiness. But I am all alone at home, and my husband does not watch any musicals. My daughter who became your fan after ‘Kuroshitsuji’ also can’t find any place at school to let out her happiness. Mr. Furukawa, how do you express your feelings when you are incredibly happy? Or are you the type not to express it?”

Furu: “Ah, right. When I am incredibly happy I try to create a personal space and scream.”

All: *Burst into laughter*

Furu: “For example, nowadays I tend to go into my car and scream in happiness (laughs), so I’d like to ask you to try screaming in a car too.”

✬ Kuroba Mario ✬

Host: “Mr. Kuroba Mario who was announced as member of the new cast today also sent in a voice message!”

Kuroba: “Dear listeners of RADIOiNEWS, and Mr. Yuta, good evening. I am Kuroba Mario. Mr. Yuta, thank you so much taking such perfect care of me during ‘Romeo & Juliette’, I really admire you very much. Ah, that just slipped out of my mouth.

I know it is a bit sudden, but I have become very health oriented. So, Mr.Yuta, you’re super thin, aren’t you? You are thin and pale, I am very worried about you.”

Furu: “Eh!?”

Hosts: *Burst of laughter*

Kuroba: “Mr. Yuta, could you please share what you... do... for your health? Please do your best on the live broadcast! That was Kuroba Mario.”

Furu: “He admires me and therefore he is worried about me, that is quite refreshing. I must say I am a bit shocked.”

Host: *Burst of laughter* “What is the bond you share between you, and how did you meet?”

Furu: “We met during ‘Romeo & Juliette’ wherein he was my co-star. He is also my junior for the musical ‘Prince of Tennis’, but we did not share any productions together, so ‘Romeo & Juliette’ really was our first.

Also, he is such a good boi, and incredibly incredibly handsome. But he never relies on his good looks to achieve things. He is also a very ambitious type of person; he is very young and yet so ambitious, it is very rare. He is my junior, but I look up to him very much.

Well... that said, I also caused him to worry about me (laughs), so I am not sure it’s my place to talk here. But I believe I might be even more health oriented than Mario. I do everything from taking my supplements to drinking Aojiru before meals. Ah, and nose gargling, I nose gargle every day. I stretch before going to bed, as well as taking care of my throat. So please don’t worry about me. But thank you so much for worrying about me. Thank you.”

Economy & Politics

Basic Income Policy

Furukawa went political here! I did not expect it! ÓÒ

He said that he usually listens to political and economic debates in bed, because that tends to make him very sleepy. But once the topic of Basic Income Policy popped up, and it prompted him to think about this issue.

In Japan, members of the government as well as many people claim that this policy cannot be introduced in Japan, but Furukawa wonders why.

Furu: “I don’t quite get why such a basic thing is considered impossible by people. Japan admires Western countries to a certain extent and seems to want to imitate them. However, it appears that the thing Japan admires is the language (’Basic Income Policy’ in Japanese is the English term itself). Of course if nobody wants to act, this policy stays this ‘dream’ the government calls it.

So, we have other countries that did us the courtesy of testing the No-Basic-Income Policy, and it did not quite work. I wonder why Japan must test it for itself.”

Q&A Game!

Now Furukawa was invited to play the Q&A game, where he is given 1 minute to respond to as many questions as possible.

Your hobby? Furu: “Piano.”

Special Skill? Furu: “Dancing.”

Who do you especially admire? Furu: “People who can do things I cannot.”

Expensive things or extravagance you spent money on Furu: “Eeh... an expensive steak and a wallet.”

Your secret? Furu: “I cannot say.”

What type of woman do you like? Furu: “Erm... a person who does not get angry”

What would you tell past-you? Furu: “You. W-work harder!”

A bad habit you keep doing Furu: “T-t-touching my hair?”

What embarrassed you lately? Furu: “I am usually embarrassed when I get praised.”

Your favourite space at home Furu: “My couch”

Though sudden, please say something nice to your listeners Furu: “........ Dom... dun... ah, don’t push yourself so hard...” (You tell yourself to work harder, and tell others not to push themselves? ....you Disney Princess...)

Your best cooking Furu: “I heated the sausages.” (Son... that’s not ‘cooking’.)

The highlight of your fashion today Furu: “The floof in... in... that I misjudged what combines well with what...”

A job you’d like to try Furu: “Eh... a photoshoot abroad.”

TIME UP!

Furu: “I am so sorry, I was just hopeless (laughs).”

After Talk (Parts)

Piano 🎹

Host: “So your hobby is playing the piano? Have you been playing since childhood?”

Furu: “Ah no, I started learning the piano for my role as Mozart (2018). The opportunity to play the piano also popped up lately, so I’ve been studying it.”

Host: “I assume you are really good.”

Furu: “Oh no, I am absolutely hopeless at it. I am painfully aware of the difficulty of playing the piano.”

Admiration✨

Host: “You spoke about admiring people who can do things you cannot.”

Furu: “Yes, people have many talents, and I just cannot help but admire people who can do things I cannot. Lately I have come to really admire my piano instructor. It is something I struggle with so much, and yet my teacher can play the piano like it’s nothing.

Likewise I also admire Mr. Ichimura Masachika who took care of me during ‘Mozart!’. I really admire his spirit towards work, and how he’s so mindful of everything around him.”

Expensive Steak 🥩

Host: “Alright, Mr. Furukawa, I am sorry, but you said that the expensive thing you spent money on lately was an e-e-expensive steak?”

Furu: “Y-yeah, it was a bit expensive? Well, it was actually a normal steak, steak is just expensive. But I just had to answer something, so the steak and the wallet was what popped up in my mind first.”

Host: (Laughs) “You had a steak in a restaurant, I assume? Or did you make it yourself?” (No Mr. Host; Furukawa SOAKED his own steak in warm water. He wouldn’t know what cooking is if it bit him in his behind.)

Furu: “Ah, no, I went to my favourite steak place that uses a point-card system. I frequented that place in the past, and I spent... one or... no, two years to accumulate a whopping 17000 points. But last time I went, a year had already passed, and my points were reset to zero...”

Hosts: *Screech in pain* “What a shame!!”

Furu: “Is it normal that points get reset if you don’t come for a year?”

Host: “Well, it’s a system that wants you to keep coming, right.”

Furu: “I guess I learned the hard way, I will never forget this anymore.”

Furukawa’s hand waves are so small, it’s more like a little quiver 💗

Kindhearted Fluffykawa Yuta

During the release event of his new mini album ‘Love Songs’, Furukawa personally handed the Tokuten post card to the participants.

One fan was incredibly nervous, and said “good evening!” to Furukawa, even though it was noon. In order not to make her feel embarrassed, Furukawa replied “good evening” with a smile.

During the radio show RADIOiNEWS the fan wrote to Furukawa to thank him for his kindness, to which he replied: “don’t mention it, you went through the trouble to come all the way to meet me, so it does not matter what time it was, right? I am grateful to you. Thank you.”

Hello! How are you doing? First of all, I wanted to tell you that I love your blog so much! <3 The way you have of writing is very pleasant and entertaining, like reading a book ^^ I feel I always learn something new whenever I check out your blog. Now, I have a question regarding Furukawa (obviously): what do you admire of him the most? That thing that brings the fanmom's proud out :3 I hope you have a wonderful week!

Dear II-Yukiiko-II,

I am doing great, I hope you too. And thank you for your compliments!! It is very meaningful to hear what you say ^^ Now about Furukawa............................. why must you make me choose?! Ugh...okay if I HAVE to choose...

As a person - Thoughtfulness

As a person I admire Furukawa the most for his thoughtfulness. He just always puts other people before him, makes sure nobody is left out as long as he has any say in it. You most likely have seen this post already, but especially when Furukawa is the Troupe Lead you can see exactly just how thoughtful he is.

In this post about Rudolf we see how Furukawa even as a first-tiered star would take the time to adjust himself to others, rather than making lower-tiered actors adjust to him. And here about SebaBeast how even though there’s a script to fully justify anything, Furukawa still made sure Tano wouldn’t be psychologically hurt.

As an actor - Transparency

As an actor I admire Furukawa the most for his transparency. I love how he can erase himself completely and just become his role. His attention to detail is mind blowing, and helps him create very three-dimensional characters (as long as the script isn’t total shit). Von Fersen is often arguably one of the most boring characters in French Revolution centered stories, and YET Furukawa managed to somehow turn Fersen into one of the most interesting ones in TOHO’s MA2018 despite the script not giving him too much to work with. (@margridarnauds and I can both confirm this... my god) Besides, Furukawa is so meticulous about his roles, in just two years Furukawa managed to beat Yana to the punch about a character she had been working on for 12 years.
