[Translation] One of Maro's interviews

[marty]

Thanks for the translation!
Bha, I'm not particularly interested in him, so good luck and sayonara. From the way he's speaking he sounds like a nice boy, after all, but then the fanclub fee... 10500 yen on trust before you even show what you can do? Too fast, boya.

[Delicious n Bold]

What a mess.
Makes the rotten amniotic fluid look good.

[ComatoseBunnySnatcher]

He's so desperate, its pitiful.

[Mari-chan]

Is it he on the pic above????

[Livey~]

If you mean the first post, yeah.. It's him..

[sitara]

thank you for translating!!
finally an interview from maro. a few parts of that interview sound a bit stuck up.

demanding that much money for a fanclub?? shouldn't you have already something to offer before asking for such an outrageous price? you do know that we are in a recession, right?!?

[hsienko]

The thing is, I don't understand what the point of him having a fan club because to have a fan club you need fans. Plus, he's over here trying to make it look like he's in such a precarious position "I ate grass," "I live in a cardboard box" but clearly, he has money to rent hotel rooms and fly to and from LA and pay for studio time and all that stuff to work on his "debut." He's just a groupie that wants fame.

I guess he counts that Ayu fans who cheered him during her concert are still gonna be his fans no matter what he does.

Let's not delude ourselves, many girls (and guys) were fans of his dancing, personally I loved him too on stage but seeing his personality now is really discouraging.

He definitely still has some fans of him as a handsome guy, people that will still be interested in him no matter what he does, but I'm sure after this kind of whining for attention people who liked him as Ayu's dancer won't be interested in him anymore.

The fanclub thing. Who thought it was a good idea to charge so much?? I guess they decided to ride on the hype, regardless if it was good or bad.

I feel so embarrassed, he can't certainly believe the reasons he that gave, I mean come on, we are not all 5 year old kids in here.

[saigodansu]

What a publicity hound. Anyone who signs up for that fan club should have their credit line removed quickly to avoid stupid spending. I don't believe his homelessness or that they dated. You don't decide you need new pictures for your website and fly to LA after being homeless. Plus I've never heard of having enough money to rent a hotel room for a month counting as poor or homeless.

[ExodusUK]

Um, anyone who actually paid to join his "fanclub" should take a look at themselves and question why they didn't spend that money on numerous copies of Hamasaki-san's struggling Love Again.

[SURREAL__RAINBOW]

Now you're just assuming people actually joined his fanclub lmao

[Livey~]

I wonder how many will.. :|

This.

His attitude actually really pissed me off in this interview. If you think that pretending to be "homeless" on and off for a few days, picking and choosing how you spend your plentiful cash all in the name of "self-reflection" makes us sympathetic to your issues and makes you a more worldly human being, then you need to reassess how much you have in life, materially and emotionally.

This is pathetic to me. Just another case of a spoiled kid trying to be poor and pitiful to gain sympathy for himself. Gah.

[Yumsushi]

Thanks for the translation Misa...this guy is just a worthless leach. I can't stand losers that have no concept of true suffering ala "I broke a nail eeek le end".

[happiholic★]

The whole situation is just weird, but I don't hate him or anything. I don't know anything about him or Ayu, so I'm just gonna stay neutral about the whole thing.

[Ayumiko]

I think if he really wants to depend on himself to make a fresh start, he should stop talking about the relationship and his homeless days. So pathetic.

[ComatoseBunnySnatcher]

Can I pay my Maroka club membership in grass and/or cardboard boxes?

[ayuuk]

The membership fee is really crazy!!

I thought there would be a good reason, but his explanation sounds so weak.

[SKYia]

So according to Maro paying 10k makes you a good fan (Maro-only fan) and 5k makes you unfaithful fan who may betray you by entering other artist's fanclubs?
