A friendship story of 2 guys who spent their youth together."We had times when we talk about matters of the heart too"Nagase Tomoya x Domoto KoichiFinally the friendship talk is being realised! The relationship of the two started before the forming of TOKIO and KinKi Kids. Don't we often encounter this in class? Although there are many friends in the class, somehow there will be one person who will attract you to him like a magnet? When you finally realised it, you have been together all the time, playing, discussing about troubles and girls... The relationship between male friends that will make people jealous to a certain extent. Well, this time taking off the "idol" masks, let's have them to talk about each other. Nagase x Koichi "real voice" talk.During the cold winter times, we entered the vinyl pool and everyone started to "backdrop" each other. (*Note: "backdrop" -- a pro-wrestling term. The action of carrying each other and throwing off the back)
---- (the 2 who will say nonsense to each other during make-up, during photoshoot) You two are really on good terms~N: Really bad. The worst. (smile)
K: We always fight with each other. (smile)
N: I was really angry at you from a long time ago.
K: Me too.
---- Do you still remember how you first met?N: Can't remember (flatly)
K: Oii! (suddenly rebutting)
N: But I entered the jimusho earlier. When I was 11. Thereafter 1 year later, Koichi entered.
K: I was in Pri. 6 that time. We played game at the very first time we met.
N: You are lying, I can't remember at all. But I remember we entered the pool together.
K: The "pool" incident happened very much later. It was like 1 year later after we met.
N: Really?
K: Hey, the baseball game.
N: Ahhh... Famicon right. When we "pakki-n" hit and one will do the "bo-n" defence right?
K: With your kind of explanation, the readers won't understand lah. (smile)
N: Who won at that time?
K: I didn't remember until that extent. (smile)
---- What is it about entering the pool together?N: That was what was popular at that time. When we were staying at that dorm, we would place a vinyl pool for baby use at the veranda, and everyone will enter it with swimwear.
K: Even when it was during the cold winter. (smile) Hot water was poured in and it was like open air hot spring.
N: But in the midst, it became a "backdrop" event.
K: If you get "backdrop" by Nagase, it's really painful. (smile)
N: At that time, we were neither TOKIO nor KinKi right.
K: Yah.
---- So it means there is a possibility you two may form the same group?K: No, I didn't have that premonition at all. To me, somehow if it's work, I think I will be with Tsuyoshi. Tsuyoshi and I were in Kansai in the first place anyway. And Nagase at that time was usually working with Inohara-kun (V6).
N: Yes. There is a plan to put me, Inohara-kun and another 2 boys in the same group. But soon I was put in TOKIO.
K: No one knows what happened right. (smile)
Koichi really took a long time to bath. And he gave out this "uncle" sound when he reached the bathtub.---- Usually, what do you call each other?N: "Nagase" "Koichi"
K: Sometimes I will call Nagase "Tomozou" or "Ossan", etc. (smile)
N: I will also call "Kouchan" or "Kusojiji". (smile) (Facing the editor) Well, coz this guy is really like an uncle. In the past during the dormitory days, when Koichi and I shared the same room, I will usually sleep first but this person will always go to bath. And he always took so long. I thought he will do a quick bath but who knows he's like an uncle who will let out those sounds to show he's satisfied with his bath. (smile)
K: It's not like that at all. You are making this up.
N: And when he's out of the bathroom, he will tie a bath towel around his waist and sit on the bed with a "dokkoisho" (*Note: I think it's like some sounds old uncles will make... LOL!)
K: Hey you... (and at this time an insect flew past in front of Koichi's face) UWA-A! (And he stood up from his seat suddenly)
N: HAHAHA~ Koichi really hates insects right. It was really terrible during those dormitory days. During those times, it's always me who chased away the insects.
K: But I was playing the role of your alarm clock ok. Really hard to wake you up.
N: Coz that's my revenge. A return to you for taking late baths and being so noisy and making me unable to sleep.
K: Yah right. If not for me waking you up, you will always be late ok.
---- Koichi is better in waking up?K: Though I'm really sleepy too, I can still wake up in agony. But this fellow doesn't wake up at all. Even when his body woke up in a second, the next second he would fall back to sleep. During such times, I will sometime pull him to the bathroom.
N: But while this continued, when I didn't say anything, Koichi will ask "Nagase, what time should I wake you up tmr?" (smile)
K: I said that. I said that.
N: And we did "shaving leg's hair" at that time too right.
K: This topic again? (smile)
N: But Koichi's hair isn't that thick so it's usually me and Tsuyoshi.
K: Add soap and shave right.
N: Looking at our smooth legs, "Hmm, can't stand it. This smooth/sleek feel" we'll say.
K: So disgusting. (smile)
Because we talked about love with each other, I think our friendship became even deeper. N: And during that time, we talked about love too as well right.
K: Oh yes, we did.
N: Until that time, I never talked about this kind of topic with any other guys, that's why somehow unexpectedly I think my friendship with Koichi deepened. It's not about being troubled by love in the actual way but just discussing about "I like this type (of girl)".
K: Our type was the same last time right. I can't say anything about now though.
N: Kogyaru (smile) (*Note: It's those young girls with thick dark make-up usually with dyed hair in blonde/gold)
K: But it's not about gaudy showy girls just high school girls. After all we are in the same generation.
---- So both of you like loose socks?N: I like I like. (smile)
K: Under the short uniform skirt, the loose socks. Not bad right. (heartily)
N: And if it's personal wear, BOOTS!
K: Especially white ones.
N: The hair colour a little brown and put on a little eyeshadow.
K: I don't like thick make-up.
N: (insistently) No! Just a little bit to show she's fashionable.
K: If so then ok.
N: And light pink lipstick.
K: (forming line with his eyes) Yes yes... hey, don't we sound like old uncles? (smile)
N: Oh no. (smile)
---- How about older women?N: (loudly) I like.
K: But even when we say older women, it will be good if she can become "the younger one" when we are together.
N: And someone who can accept everything sometimes.
---- The type of girls you like was the same in the past. How about recently? Is it still alike?K: How it is now.
N: But, when it comes to love, the girl you like is everything. It has nothing to do with type.
K: Can say that too. So Nagase, you have anyone you like recently? Are you in love?
N: Well, if you say yes, I can say yes I am. If you say no, I can say I'm not.
K: What's that? But when we look at girls, if we start to stop feeling "(that girl) not bad right", then we won't be humans right.
N: Yes, even when we are really busy now, to like someone it has nothing to do with time. It's all up to us. For me, if I like someone, I am more of a person who will say "I like you" directly.
K: Ah, I can't do that. That's why I just let the girl I like pass by.
N: From the past, Koichi is one who doesn't say right. But if he likes someone, it will be for a long time.
K: That's why I get hurt easily.
If we go to karaoke together, we will definitely sing "Uchuu keiji gyaban" and get high.---- Recently as work gets busier, isn't the time to meet up with each other decreasing compared to the past?N: But without any changes... (staring at Koichi's eyes with some meaning) it's a "naked relationship" right. (*Note: "hadaka no tsukiai" in the normal meaning refers to being true to each other. But the way Nagase puts it is too... *leads to wild imagination*)
K: Don't say in that weird tone! (smile) Will invite misunderstandings. (as he spoke, he accidentally spilled his orange juice onto the tape recorder that is recording their conversation)
N: (laughing like mad) Oi, you... what are you nervous about?
K: Noo... (smile)
N: Is it ok? The tape recorder. Wait a minute. "Ah, ah" (the gentle Nagase who is testing the tape recorder)
---- For instance, during an off day, if both of you meet up, what will you do and get high?N: We don't usually have off days during the same time, but sometimes we'll go to karaoke together.
K: Yes. Nagase is really amazing. He can sing all kinds of songs, even English songs, perfectly. Plus all the actions. Where did you remember all those? And so many of them.
N: I often borrow CD and remember. But for Koichi, no matter what kind of songs, if he doesn't get into the mood, he won't sing.
K: It's embarrassing to sing until like that.
N: I see. And the songs he will sing are always fixed. What he will definitely sing is "Ginga Tetsudou 999" song.
K: I like it since the past. But between the two of us, the song that gets us the most high is "Uchu keiji gyaban".
N: Yes yes, the theme song. The kind that will transform, gyaban is our hero ne.
K: Yah. And when we sang that, the video will be that film so it's really nostalgic.
N: But when I go to karaoke with Koichi, I behaved myself better.
K: Really?
N: If I go with my hometown friends, we will be really rowdy. There's one time when the staff came to us asking us to behave ourselves. (smile)
K: When the room is sound-proof? (smile) Unbelieveable, you guys.
Even if, we didn't enter the jimusho, but are nearby each other, we'll definitely become friends.---- Do you go shopping together?N: Not recently but we used to.
K: Right now we are usually very busy during the daytime. but since "Toki-Kin" started, we had more chances to see each other.
N: Compared to shopping, I think we go for meals more often? We will contact each other, and if we got through, even when it's late at night, it will be like "So shall we go to family restaurant?".
---- 2 idols going to family restaurant? (smile)K: Yah, we don't mind and will just go. And not only the 2 of us but Jr. Hara-kun and Sano-kun, etc. will join too.
N: When we leave our job, we are just living our lives like normal people. And when we go for meals, we really eat quite a lot too.
---- Any favourite food out of the family restaurant menu?N: Carbonara (smile)
K: Nothing specific for me.
N: Koichi likes fruits don't you? Always eating them. Why?
K: Even when you ask me why... coz they taste good. (smile) For me, there's nothing I really like under prepared food, but not that there is anything specific I hate too.
---- Looking at both of you, you have a really good balance between each other. It's not about who taking up the leadership or doing the arrangementK: It's too troublesome for either of us to call the shots. So it's just naturally like this.
N: But on the surface, it's almost like I'm leading right?
K: Coz Nagase is really mature ne.
N: Previously during a photoshoot, someone asked me "Are you the same age as Shigeru-kun?" and I was really shocked.
K: You looked like a 26-year-old!? (smile) But you are 18 inside... no, if we talk about your mental age, it could be lower... (smile)
N: Isn't it the same for you? (smile) But then, for us, even if we didn't enter the jimusho, but we are nearby each other, we are definitely the type who will become friends right.
K: Most likely, from now onwards, I'll get along with Nagase in this manner.
N: Ohh.
From Junon 1996
===========================
It never fails to make me laugh when I see that "naked r/s" part... and how Koichi flustered and spilled his drink.
That boy... I love these 2 boys so much...

Nagase X Koichi, Best Soulmates
welcome to this forum - and pardon if i giggle a bit that you'll start this topic because i know you like them so much! thanks for putting up the pictures AND the animated gifs 
koichi really likes tall guys 
They make such a cute couple. I love how Nagase kisses Koichi on the head. 
And the thing is Koichi actually did watch with him! And that yakiniku incident just reminds me how Koichi cannot refuse Nagase's requests at all... These 2...
