[COSTCO SUBS PRESENTS]
[Interview with a new member]
My name is Risako Tanabe. I'm 21 years old.
I'm a fitness trainer.
[YOUR WORK AS A FITNESS TRAINER] I teach four times a week at the avex Artist Academy.
The youngest are 12 years old, and the oldest is 34.
I teach group classes for body shaping.
I teach dieting methods and help the artists build up muscles.
It's not just about slimming down, but rather changing the shape of your body.
One class is 90 minutes.
[HOW DID YOU BECOME A FITNESS TRAINER?] When I was young,
I did baton twirling for 11 years.
I also competed in national championships as part of a team.
After quitting, I decided that I wanted to teach.
I started working out, and I really got into it.
So I became a personal trainer.
I've been teaching group classes at the avex Artist Academy for about a year.
[ABOUT PARKOUR] I recently started doing a sport called Parkour.
I'm not very good yet.
You jump from one building to another, run on walls and climb and such.
Lately, female athletes have started to incorporate acrobatics.
Like doing a backflip when jumping down a wall.
It's a very artistic sport.
I do want to compete in tournaments, but I also want to create stuff.
I want to show how you can express yourself in Parkour
and explore new techniques, because right now they're pretty limited.
So I want to develop my own style,
and I hope that will help me find other projects to work on.
[INSECURITIES ABOUT LIVING TOGETHER] I don't feel insecure at all.
But I'm always talking. I hope they won't get annoyed.
I just can't stop.
[YOUR RELATIONSHIP STATUS] I haven't had a boyfriend
in about a year, so I really want to meet someone.
I was in love with someone until very recently, but we didn't become a couple.
Everyone was like "What, that guy?"
Like, "You're okay with his looks?"
But to me he was the most good-looking guy in the world.
When I fall in love with someone, I get kind of obsessed with them.
If there's someone I like just a bit, I might be all in at first
but we usually end up being friends.
We just decide it's best if we stay friends.
But if I really like someone, I'm like...
I'll get crazy butterflies.
That's what happens.
[YOUR TYPE] Someone who gives a lot of love.
And who's always laughing.
I'm not very bright, so...
When I say "What is this?"
and they're like "Why don't you know that?", I'm like...
So I like it if you can tease each other.
But I also want to be able to talk about important things.
When they worry about you and ask you,
"Where are you? What are you doing?" That makes me feel loved.
Even when you can't see each other for a month or so,
and you can't get in touch with each other,
if even then we can trust each other and do our best,
that would give me a lot of motivation for my work as well.
I've come to think like this over the past three or four years.
I need someone I can trust.
I really don't want to get cheated on.
[TYPES YOU DISLIKE] When you're in a restaurant,
and he goes like "Oy!" to the waiter.
Or when you're in a taxi, he goes like this.
Or if he tells me like, "Hurry up! Move!"
And I'm like...
Or just dumping your stuff on the empty seat next to you...
That's not for me.
If it's a total stranger,
I'd just be completely lost for words.
But if you live together,
or if it's a friend or someone you work with,
I really want them to tell me what bothers them, and I'll do the same.
I want them to tell me what's on their mind.
And I'll say what's on my mind, thank you very much.
When I clash with someone, I'll snap and I won't apologize until later.
If I realize that I was wrong, I will apologize.
But I just can't leave an argument unfinished.
