Makaze Suzuho\u2019s Breaktime My Way<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Relaxation methods?<\/em>
Onsen, of course (laughs). Besides that, I clean my house, or go for drives, or watch movies. I\u2019m trying to make my home into an environment where I can really relax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Personal room style<\/em>
It\u2019s all done in wood. Several years back I was looking for kitchen shelves and bought some wood ones I really fell in love with. That started me thinking \u2018wood is really nice.\u2019 I\u2019m trying to make it look like a chic cafe (laughs). The number of potted plants I have keeps increasing; right now there are 5 in my living room altogether. I think they\u2019re all working to keep the air in my room clean (laughs).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Sleep<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Must-have sleep goods<\/em>
Recently I bought a new duvet that\u2019s really large. I think it feels a lot better. I worry about dryness when there\u2019s a show on, so I turn on a humidifier and wear a mask to bed. Recently I\u2019ve also been using a seal for my mouth that\u2019s supposed to reduce mouth breathing. It sometimes hurts when I take it off in the morning, though\u2026 Basically, I\u2019m scared of dryness when I\u2019m sleeping (laughs).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What I always do before bed<\/em>
Since i\u2019ve heard that you sleep better if you always do the same routine every day before sleeping, I turn on the humidifier, put the seal on (laughs) – always the same pattern. Also, a bit before bed, I adjust the lights and light a candle so that the lighting is really easy on my eyes. At times when I can\u2019t sleep I\u2019ll play relaxing music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first thing I do when I wake up<\/em>
First, I keep turning off the alarm that goes off every 5 minutes (laughs). After doing that however many times, I get up and open the curtains to absorb the natural light. Also, recently I\u2019ve been drinking a fruit and vegetable juice blend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Morning person or night person?<\/em>
As a junior actress I was a night person, but recently I\u2019ve begun to get ready very early, so I\u2019ve shifted into a morning person!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sleep time<\/em>
During a performance I\u2019m using a lot of energy, so I sleep 8-9 hours a night. During rehearsals, if it goes late I might get as little as 6 hours, but my ideal is 7 hours. In the past I used to commonly sleep for 10 hours or more (laughs).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Action<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cooking specialty<\/em>
If it\u2019s normal things, I can cook anything up to the normal level (laughs). On off days if I have the time I\u2019ll cook; the other day I made okonomiyaki with Japanese yams!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ideal breakfast for a day off<\/em>
Since I generally have traditional food at home, I think something like a hotel\u2019s continental breakfast buffet would be really invigorating! French toast and pancakes, omelettes made right in front of me by the chef\u2026I\u2019d love something like that. But generally I just have rice!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ideal supper for a day off<\/em>
Since off days should be special, I\u2019d like to go to a trendy teppanyaki restaurant1<\/sup> or something like that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Best 3: ways I like to spend a day off<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Shopping<\/strong>
2. Spending the whole day at home<\/strong> – It feels really luxurious to hole up at home all day and watch shows I programmed to record while I was out.
3. Going to an onsen<\/strong> – If there\u2019s a sauna and a cold bath I can stay there for hours and hours. I also love stone saunas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best 3: recent ‘boom\u2019 trends<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Amino acids<\/strong> – Recently I\u2019ve been paying more attention to my health, so along with the juice in the morning I take amino acid supplements. he best thing I can do to improve the quality of my performances is to take care of my health.
2. Going for drives<\/strong> – I like to take my car and go to ‘power spots\u2019 like shrines and such. Recently\u00a0I went with a retired classmate to Izanagi shrine2<\/sup> in Awaji.
3. Cleaning<\/strong> – Recently I was cleaning out the cabinet where I keep my stage makeup supplies, but when I pulled out one of the drawers and removed what was inside I saw that the base was falling out (laughs). I bought a replacement cabinet so I was able to finish cleaning, so now I just have to throw out the old one (laughs).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

For the times I think ‘just one cup!\u2019<\/em>
I like black tea. Recently I had some delicious white grape flavor black tea at a cafe! I bought the tea leaves without a second thought. I also am able to drink black coffee now – I couldn\u2019t before so I feel like I\u2019ve made it another step up the ladder of adulthood (laughs)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The vital things for Makaze Suzuho to be Makaze Suzuho<\/em>
I think it has to be my fans. It\u2019s because of my fans that I have this stage name, so even when I\u2019m worried or struggling, I\u2019ll read everyone\u2019s letters and by hearing from them I\u2019m reminded how much support I have, so I can keep going as ‘Makaze Suzuho\u2019. I’ts because of my fans that I\u2019m motivated and can think ‘I\u2019ll work hard today too!\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 – Teppanyaki is the name for the type of restaurants that serve yakisoba, okonomiyaki, or other related dishes, where a chef will prepare food on a flat griddle in front of the customers. The US chain Benihana operates on this concept (although it is more theatrical than Japanese establishments tend to be).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2 – Izanagi Shrine is dedicated to the deities Izanagi and Izanami.\u00a0This is their official website (not in English),<\/a>\u00a0and a Michelin travel guide page in English is located here.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
