Platinum Blonde Inoo and his 10,000 Character Interview

OK SO THE RUMOURS ARE IN (again)! This time, fans said that Inoo has dyed his hair WHITE or GRAY or LIGHT BLONDE. At least we have a colour range this time. There's something about a mature hair colour and a fresh young face that makes for a cool contrast. 
Look at my extremely bad attempt at trying to create a picture of white-gray-blonde haired Inoo. (People you should know my paint skills are only at a certain level, lol). Well, you get the idea.. Sort of. =P 



And apparently Yama has blonde hair?! This is the perfect cue to bring back an old pic.

 YES?! I'm kind of super excited for this. Rumours say that it's curly too.. I don't dig the perm on Yama-chan but I hope his hair's still healthy after all this damage.

Moving on, Have you read Inoo's 10000 letter interview? I was looking forward to this so much. Inoo opened up about a lot of things. He talked about his loneliness in high school, shortcomings of being a good son, and frustrations of being a junior.

I'm sure many people can relate to his high school experiences. Even though I had friends in high school, I never felt close to them or rather I never really opened myself to them. I tried to be someone I wasn't and that caused lots of misunderstandings. TuT In several magazine interviews last year, Inoo talked a lot about his university experiences and his uni friends. It makes me happy to know he's finally got that place outside of Johnny's he's wanted.

And not just that, but Inoo kind of covered what Chinen brought up: even though they might be in the entertainment business, they have insecurities and hardships that people outside the industry will experience. Everyone struggles to find their place, their friends,and their identity. Which brings me to another thing...when people talk about the entertainment industry, the idea of two worlds comes to mind: the celebrity world and the other world, which fans and other people live in. It's come to my realization that this is just due to the different situations (like appearing more in the media and so on) which create this barrier. There aren't really two worlds, just one.

"Really, I want to live as myself. (laughs)  I might not be accepted like that, but I don’t think about wanting to change myself.  And if you can come to like me as I am, I would be glad.  Because I would rather like our fans to smile when they look at us, more than I would like them to be moved." -Inoo Kei (Translated by hahaho7)

Inoo talked about how he'd get angry at his parents but they were still there for him. I'm glad he has this great support. :D Also, the fact that Inoo just barely made it into Hey! Say! Jump is a miracle. Just watching kids eat food on tv or talking to the president at the right time is a miracle. It's weird how little coincidences can snowball and result in a future we couldn't once imagine. But that's not to understate Inoo's hard work.

I'm looking forward to seeing new sides of Inoo (not just his new hair colour, lol). :)
