[ 真紅の音 -THINK NOTE- ] VOL 16: COLOUR

I want to be a pure white presence that can be dyed with any colour.
Wearing black clothes, spending time in spaces filled with brown and white. Seeing green and yellow, and remembering fun times with the members. Surrounded by a lot of colours, Yamada hopes, “I want to be forever white.”
For clothes, my favourite colour is black. It’s dark, and cool for every day wear, and come to think of it, the leather jacket I recently bought was black, too. I think I have more than ten black leather jackets that I wear. Theyr’e useful, because they go with any colour. As for my hair colour, I wonder if the ideal colour is light brown. In my room’s interior, I feel calm with a natural atmosphere that combines white and brown. In fact, the floor and walls of my room are white, and the TV stand and lights are made of wood. On the walls, I have posters of my favourite artists. When I was a child, I loved blue and green. To tell the truth, those were the colours of my soccer uniform. I really spent a lot of my time wearing those uniforms, so I wonder if I just spent more time looking at those colours.

Red, blue, white, green, yellow. All of those colours have an image that comes to mind. Red, fire. It’s hot, and it’s dangerous. For blue, the pool comes to mind. When I was four years old, my family went to play at the pool, and I remember how I almost drowned. I’m so traumatized that I can’t even swim now (laughs). White is the colour of the important wedding dress that I want to see someone wear someday. Green is spinach… and yellow is paprika. If you’re wondering why I’m suddenly talking about vegetables, it’s because recently, (Okamoto) Keito, Chinen and I have been playing a “spinach game”. My fist resembles spinach, then I shout, “spinach, spinach, spinach!” and pass it on to another person… that’s the game, and there are times where you can freely change the type of vegetable that you’re saying. Before, Keito and I yelled “paprika!” at the same time, and we burst out laughing for a while that we yelled the same thing by chance at the same time.

I think I capture the colours of the world that I imagine pretty well. I don’t know the reason, but the lyrics that I wrote, “Shinku” and “Gin no Sekai ni Negai wo Komete” those songs have colours in the title. (t/n: Shinku = crimson, and gin = silver) I also remember many colours in the scenery that I have seen. For example, near the house where I used to live, orange osmanthus used to bloom. I always saw the colour as I went home from elementary school, and both the colour and the unique smell are burned in my mind. Also, one day I want to write lyrics for that vivid scene. 

A rosy mood, becoming blue… you can express your feelings through colour. I feel the most rosy when I’m spending time with the JUMP members. We compete on a lot of smartphone games, we laugh at stupid stories, I’ve realized that “I’m happy to be with these guys.” On the contrary, I’m blue in the morning. Having to get up early and go to work while fighting sleepiness, it’s pretty hard. In addition, my head is a mess because my hayfever is terrible at this time, and my nose is clogged so I don’t speak well. Pollen season, please go away soon…

I think passionate, red people are attractive. Not clear black and white, but grey is also beautiful. But, the idea that I’m attracted to, is a person who is their own colour. If Yamada Ryosuke was compared to a colour, it’d be white. The reason is simply my white skin… no, not just that, I want to have the frame of a pure heart forever, and I think that it’s important to be able to dye yourself any colour for a role. I’m a blank canvas, and I can be dyed any colour. I’m looking forward to what I can be painted.

What colour are you?
I have one hundred.
Ryosuke
