So Distant: Taki Soejima
Hello, Taki! Could you introduce yourself?
Taki: Hey! My name's Taki, and I'm a first-year in middle school. I'm in track-and-field and basketball.
So, what are your goals, Taki?
Taki: To go to the track competition in the spring and win the big prize money for my little cousin, Kenta!
What makes you happy?
Taki: Playing sports -- especially for fun with my dad -- and playing with Kenta and Naoyuki.
What makes you angry?
Taki: When I see people getting picked on!
How would you react if someone...
a. praised you?
Taki: Haha, I'd probably get a little flustered. ^//^
b. insulted you?
Taki: They'd get a piece of my mind.
c. threatened you?
Taki: ...A punch in the face?
d. pranked you?
Taki: No big deal. I'd laugh along with them.
e. lied to you?
Taki: That would hurt. But I probably wouldn't get mad.
Do you get along well with your family?
Taki: Yeah, my folks are great!
What traits do you admire in other people? What traits do you dislike?
Taki: I like a person who is honest with me, even if what they have to say is hard to take. And vice-versa: I don't like people who say one thing to my face and another behind my back.
What do other people like about you? What do they dislike about you?
Taki: People tell me they like my energy. And... some people dislike me for the same thing. ^^;
What do you like about yourself? What about things you'd like to change?
Taki: I like that I don't give up! Maybe I need to be less pushy, though?
If you could have any kind of special ability, what would it be?
Taki: Jumping really high or flying! I'd be a basketball superstar! Haha, just kidding, that would be cheating! It'd be a really cool power, though.
Thank you, Taki! What do you want to do now that the interview is over?
Taki: I'm gonna go take Naoyuki on a bike ride. ;D
