As usual, this feature was published originally all at once, but I am posting it split into two sections. Part 2 can be found here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this section, Makaze talks about her likes and dislikes in her work and offstage life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Makaze Suzuho: Anything<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Question 1: What do you like? What do you dislike?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Likes<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I am soaking totally relaxed in the cool tub after working hard in the sauna.<\/em>
It\u2019s like I can feel the cold overflowing into all my insides and organs!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After I\u2019ve been cleaning and everything\u2019s all tidy, when I put on tea, sit down on my favorite sofa, and think \u2018Ah~ now I can drink this\u2019 while holding my cup of tea.<\/em>
I think \u201cThank you for becoming so clean, everyone~\u201d (laughs)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I spray water on the decorative potted plant in my living room and the the leaves perk up happily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sky I can see on the way home.<\/em>
\u2018Oh, it\u2019s the summer sky\u2019 or \u2018I can see so many stars, tomorrow is going to be really clear\u2019. Once rehearsal starts I don\u2019t really have the time to look up at the sky, so when I do that it\u2019s really relaxing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I\u2019m walking around a neatly laid out residential area and think \u2018Ah, it seems like it\u2019s about to rain\u2019.<\/em>
The sky suddenly becomes super dark, and the humidity goes wa~y up\u2026
It feels like there\u2019s been a shift in space-time!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a performance, when I\u2019ve changed out of my parade costume in the wings on stage left, and I\u2019m heading around to the dressing room on stage right.<\/em>
The tension goes out of me a bit, and I\u2019m thinking of how everything went fine that day, or how something went really well, and so I go back to the dressing room talking to myself internally. It\u2019s simple but I like it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Days when I\u2019m changing my hair for every scene in the revue, and it ALL goes just how I want it!<\/em>
Getting a good foundation is the most important part. When I\u2019m drying my hair I\u2019m thinking \u2018for the next hour it has to adapt to whatever I do with it, up, down, whatever, changing all the time\u2019 so I match the motion to that. On a day when all the styles go well I\u2019ll think \u2018You did a good job today, little follicles!\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dislikes<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Frogs, Fava beans, coconuts<\/em>
I hate frogs the most! When I was little I would often see the tadpoles transforming into frogs and it was just\u2026 I hate them so much that during Vampire Succession, we all went on a barbecue, and when Aichan (Aizuki) caught a tree frog and was bringing it towards me I said \u201cIf you come another step closer I\u2019ll never speak to you again!\u201d I dislike fava beans too, since they sort of look like frogs with their shape and color (laughs). Coconuts are too sweet and I don\u2019t really like the smell\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I\u2019m pressed for time and I have to hurry.<\/em>
I hate feeling rushed, so I get up early to make sure I have plenty of time in the morning. Even for quick-changes during performances, from the very moment I exit the stage I\u2019ll start doing what I can immediately, so it\u2019s rare that I have to run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cleaning the bath<\/em>
I like cleaning all the other areas, even the kitchen and the bathroom, but the one thing I don\u2019t like is cleaning the bathtub. I have to stoop over to do it so it makes my back hurt, but if I get on my knees I\u2019ll get wet\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I go shopping since \u2018It\u2019s a weekday!\u2019 but for everyone else it\u2019s a holiday or spring vacation so it\u2019s really really crowded.<\/em>
At times like that I completely lose my desire for shopping and go home in defeat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trying to find things!!<\/em>
I hate searching for things, as an activity, so I wanted to be able to always know where things were, which is why I ended up liking cleaning this much. But I still lose my cell phone a lot. I\u2019ll inevitably leave it behind when I take a taxi\u2026 Therefore, recently I always make sure to get a receipt, so that I can contact the taxi company right away. I\u2019m a pro at calling the lost and found! (laughs)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Searching for a food ticket in the performer\u2019s cafeteria NOVA ticket vending machine.<\/em>
The organization is way too loose! It\u2019s not split up into categories like \u2018noodles\u2019, \u2018rice dishes\u2019, et cetera, and totally different menu options will end up with the same button since the price is the same, so I can never just find what I want and I\u2019ll end up searching for a~ges (laughs).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
