Translation:

Everyone, have you watched today’s Kamen Rider Gaim?

Ah, from here on, I will be giving spoilers, so to anyone who has recorded it and hasn’t watched it, please do not read the following entry. >_<

Ah~… Even though I’m acting [in it] and I sort of know what kind of conclusion was coming, watching today’s broadcast still somehow made me sad,

Hase-chan, he was done in, wasn’t he…

Even during the crank-in period, I already knew that this was going to happen, and it didn’t bother me / stop me in my tracks… But, the moment I received the script for Episode 14 and read that such a thing was going to happen to Hase-chan, as expected I was sad. That feeling welled up within me. The cast, staff of Kamen Rider Gaim are really nice people, and at a very early hour in the morning, [we would suggest] shall we gather and go to the filming scene~… Just thinking of that, I really, there are no words I can use to describe it.

From Urobuchi-san, the writer, I received the comment, ‘Hase-chan is in the position of Mami-san from MadoMagi; he/she is the person that will create the turning point in the story!’ and with that, I felt the responsibility that I had to act it out well!

Ah, we also discussed “post-transformation Hase”! *laughs*

Because of Hase-chan’s death, the story will accelerate with a burst! That’s why, to be able to have acted for such an essential point in the story, it is something that fills me with pride. Because of that, everyone, from now on, please continue to support “Kamen Rider Gaim”! Nobody yet knows what will happen from now on!!

A thought that fills Shiramata with a pleasant feeling is…?? Since Hase-chan’s full name is Hase Ryouji…

It would be nice if he had an older brother (Ryouichi)… [1]

Ah, straying away from the original point of what I was saying…

I received a bouquet of flowers during the crank up time… And, the one who brought the flowers was!!! The one who plays Jounouchi, and who did not come in for filming that day, Matsuda Ryo-kun!!! Ah, I was seriously really happy!! In the show, in those final moments, he [Jounouchi] betrayed Hase-chan but… I was always together with Ryo-kun, the two of us, and he always earnestly talked to me and honestly accepted everything [I have to say]… I really appreciate it!! For this reason, I can’t help but be curious / interested in what happens to Gridon from now on… After all, he is the surviving member of the Nut Group. From now on, please continue to work hard!

Well then, this post became really long, so I’ll stop writing here!!

Ah, I forgot to say one thing…

Even though Hase-chan is dead… I do hope that he will continue to live on in everyone’s hearts! Occasionally, if everyone remembers, “Ah, such a guy once existed…” I would be really happy.

The photo was taken during the Super Hero Show the other day! Gridon wasn’t there… (;_

PS. I will be participating in today’s Sano Gaku’s Today! [2] Please do check it out if you have the time!

[1] “Ryouji” has the the kanji for “two” in the name. Atsushi-kun is referring to that “two”, speculating that it would be nice if Hase-chan had an older brother named “Ryouichi”, which has the kanji for “one”, meaning first son in relation to Hase-chan’s second.

[2] Sano Gaku’s Today is an online program hosted by Sano Gaku (who plays Kazuraba Kouta) which is aired on the TV Asahi Kamen Rider Gaim official webpage. Here’s a link to the episode featuring Shiramata Atsushi as a guest: http://www.tv-asahi.co.jp/gaimu/today/today.html
